Had a couple of great days racing this weekend.

Friday - Won one 17.5 heat (only two other racers, one broke, the other worked on tuning his car so this win doesn't really count). Won two VTA heats, battery came out of my car in the main. Stadium truck broke first race and I didn't have the parts to repair it.

Sunday - Won a VTA heat, came in second in other two. Won B-main in VTA to move up to A-main. Won a stadium truck heat, came in second in a stadium truck heat, broke in final heat. I sucked in 17.5 but managed to win the b-main and moved up to the a-main. I completely choked in all three of my a-mains, I drove worse than I have drove since I started driving / racing three weeks ago. I guess my inexperience showed it's self.

Overall, I had a blast this weekend and I am already looking forward to next weekend.

I had another great weekend of fun (and racing).

Friday I did pretty good in my heats in both VTA and in Stadium Truck. In the mains I ended up second in VTA and I broke in Stadium Trucks when a slash put me into the wall. Broke a few parts but had a blast.

Saturday I bought another XRay T2 that is in excellent condition. I decided to try it out on Sunday in the 17.5 class since I am having some shock problems with my T2 '008.

Sunday I won a couple of heats with the Stadium Truck, I turned some of my best laps in 17.5 and had the most laps I've ever had in a heat (or main). I still have a lot to learn to be competitive in this class though. In VTA I kept having problems in the heats I believe mostly due to new tires and bad luck. In the mains I led the stadium truck for a while before I got caught up in some lap traffic. Once I lost the lead I tried to over drive the truck which cost me some more time. I finished second in that class. I managed to finish third in both the vta and 17.5 a-mains.

All in all I think it was a great weekend.
