onetrade you can always come up front. Chris and I can always help out. If the car isn't slipping I got a funny feeling the problem is the motor. This might surprise you but it's probably too much motor and when you nail it coming up to a jump you get crazy wheelspin. That would explain the coming of all sideways and stuff. Next time your down Come up front and Chirs or I (Rob) can help you out

Neighbor, we all had a good time at Wolcott Yesterday. We got hit with some rain right after the mains started, which caused the length of all the mains to be shortened to ten minutes. As far as result, lets see if I remember.
Carl: Made the B in both Truggy and Buggy. Was leading the Truggy B when he broke. He bumped from the B in Buggy into the A, but had some rough luck in the main and ended up towards the rear of the field. Good show by the old man.
Tom: Had problems with the speed control in his Truggy throughout the day. Didn't finish his main, not sure what broke on his truck. I hear a nitro buggy is in his future.
Shields: Qualified in the C, took the second bump spot into the B. He drove well enough, but ended up 4th in the B, missing the bump into the A. The most impressive thing is that he didn't blow up an engine the entire day.
Betts: Betts was BQ, but checked out in the B and bumped into the A. He drove a smart race in the A and ended up finishing on the podium in 3rd.
Chicken: Had battery and electrical problems throughout the day. I don't think he finished a run or the main. And they say Nitro is difficult!
Me: I qualified 6th in the A with a big thanks to Carl and Tom, especially Tom. They both helped me get my engine running great and Tom pit me all day, no questions asked. He is the man. As far as the main in concerned, I broke on the second lap after a marshal failed to see me flipped in the berm coming onto the straight and I got blasted by 3 or 4 cars.
I had a blast, can't wait to do it again.
