Two changes for the 2wd Buggy A-Main. Rod Littau has one lap added and Scott Long has two laps added for missed laps.

I know there are more from the people using the club transponders so if you see some errors, let me know.

Slash winner - Scott Long
4wd Buggy winner - Brian Spencer
2wd Buggy winner - Rod Littau
Truck winner - Sam Capri

I was looking at the times to see how competitive the slashes would be to race. I noticed Scott long raced both 4wd buggy and Slash so I took his average lap times for both.

4wd buggy 15.73 sec per lap
Slash 15.67 sec per lap

The Slashes look more competitive than I would have given them credit for beating the 4wd buggys by .06 seconds per lap.

I was actually running a 2wd drive for that. I haven't run 4wd all indoor season. The 4wd's are still a little faster.

I just wanted to take a moment and thank the Calgary club for putting on the Indoor racing this weekend. Gawd that was fun! I woulda liked to have seen the slash drivers faces as they tried to pilot those truck around the corse! I know I was grining from ear to ear and actually had a hard time driving from time to time due to laughing so hard! Cant wait to run this thing in the dirt. So thanx guys it was a blast!

I can't post links here yet.
So, go to calgaryrc.com. In the winter slash and burn thread there is a video my son made from the Slash races. Check it out.

Great video!!!

I would like to thank all that ran on the weekend and the few that helped clean up. Buddha wasn't even running and he helped pack up!!

It looks like we might have a few new guys hooked. I let the big guy that was watching, Jason, rip around for a couple of qualifiers with my Slash and it looked like he had a ton of fun.

Thanks to Steve, Terry, Tim, and Neil for driving from Edmonton for the race. I know that you all had fun. I am glad that you did. Hopefully it made the trip worthwhile.
