Well the recording is on during the day so you can watch it second hand. And they call them Storm Troopers cause of the way they are dressed with the bike helmets.

Go to liverc.com register there and then purchase the All Access Pass and you get all the good stuff. If you purchase the Bonus Lap Membership that will be good for a year of watching live racing.

Oh no really. Who did you piss off!

Mind you there are worse places to work when the weather starts to get cold.

Saw one of these in Edmonton. Pretty cool little car. Hopefully they are better than the 1/16 scale Revo it's based on.

My racing...... not so much.

It was a very difficult track to get the cars set up for. The chassis never had a chance to settle from the last corner before you were telling to it do something else. Lots of right, right, left, left transition's.

Was at least able to drive my VTA car, was slower than everybody else but at least I could make it go where I wanted it to. It was n't before my main that I found out I could advance the timing on my motor. Worked really good until the ESC thermal'd halfway through my heat. Was in 4th place and moving up when that happened. Had a lot of fun with this car though. Good group of guys to race against helped.

My superstock on the other hand was a complete handful.
Was able to finally make some improvements in the handling during the 4th qually and was looking forward to my main. Unfortunately I confused myself about which heat I was in and missed my main.
What I can say about this car though is there is no car faster than it in our club. This thing moves.

They mixed the VTA's (21.5 brushless, non boost esc) in with the GT class (silvercan). This proved to be an equivalent competitor to each other, with the nod going to the GT's. They're doing this to see how popular this class will be. In the end most of the VTA cars ended up in the B main with the exception of 2 who managed to make the A and finished mid pack.



Good weekend of racing. I'm planning on heading down to Calgary to race WCICS in the spring. Who wants to carpool?

That's actually a Traxxas product I would seriously consider buying. Except I need to buy a Traxxas fishing boat for Randy's lake side property first.
