I had some trouble in qualifying but managed a fourth place finish in A1 trying my best to use the lighter weight to my advantage. If Myron's protege Eric is still running USVTA legal, then he's easily the best driver out here and may win it in 2 tomorrow. ROAR is also not restricting any timing, so a few guys "think" they can use that to their advantage but are coming off with motors at nearly 190 degrees and fading toward the end of the race. The way things were going, I could have caught third if I had just one or two more laps. I'll push a little harder tomorrow (but so will everyone else )
Good luck peter!
