There are many jumps on this track, some doubles and the big ones are rutted out at the bottom and pretty steep. I can't seem to get the throttle right. I would land one then the next one right back on the nose then the turtle shell. My throttle response was a little lagging because I richened it up to keep the temps down. Max was 251 but most of the time it was around 220, but seemed to respond much better at 235 - it's a Losi 454. I think I should have leaned it a little and run it for better throttle response, and that was one of my mistakes.

Anyway I guess I was too late on the throttle or when I would really run at the big double on the corner I would overshoot and that was a bad place to crash. Even the smaller doubles were not easy. Frustrating, guess just more frequent practice is in order.
