Usually very happy with how good I qualified, but I need to solve this finishing drought.

Another great race, so cool to see the place packed out. There's a really great vibe going on at this track right now and I'm glad to be a part of it.

2nd straight 2nd place finish... that last spot is the toughest!

TQ is definitely a nice place to race at. It has been the long time since I've worked so hard on my car just to get mediocre results.

You have to "double-single" the triple with the TC6, it just doesn't soak up the bumps like your 22!

When you give it your best shot, thought you went pretty fast, and still fall short, you know your competitors are pretty good.

Every trip to TQ we make I spend some time thinking yeah, that lap felt pretty fast, the car feels pretty good... but is it actually good or does it just feel that way? Can I drive it hard for 50+ laps or is it too aggressive?...

What's bad is I've accidentally become a half-decent touring car racer. I'd trade it all to be faster in pan car.

Sometimes driving too aggressive doesn't equate to the quickest lap times. I've tried to during practice and only when I'd calm down I was able to get better results, but that's just me.

Awesome to see how well TQ is doing and the videos and pictures are exactly the kind of coverage that Sean, TQ and all of the racers deserve!

Outstanding job by all of you guys!

Reminds me exactly of the glory days of UF1!
An insane frenzy of RC racing!

See you soon!
