It looks like Jim nearly had fast lap with a 10.5. I definitely think you need to move to the 3.5 next week, he might catch you otherwise!

Dude I had a 9.2 and I think he had 9.3. I was scratching my butt when he started catching up. 
I didn't look at the lap times. I do need to tighten up my car some if I'm going to try that 3.5. I did win by like 4 seconds, so I guess that was pretty fast? On the track records that is. I only had Jim in the straights.

I'm just messing with ya! You were plenty fast, you just need to find a way to carry some more of that speed through the infield. It seems like more motor isn't going to help much in the infield if your car isn't setup to take advantage of it.

Last night was the most fun I've ever had racing. The battle between Lance and I was epic, and we both walked off the stand shaking from the nerves. I thought for sure he'd make a mistake since as I pressured him the entire race, but he was cool as ice, and drove it home for the win. I wouldn't have felt right if I'd pulled him on that last straight, he was fading hard but totally deserved the win.
Also, Alan "Barricade" Jones deserves some praise. He was right there with us in qualifying after fixing his car (we were all within a second) and was running both Lance and I down the last half of the main.

At least you didn't break anymore rear a-arms. I had never seen an a-arm break just by looking at it!
Great night of racing all around.
Now we just need to get X a "Chicken Suit"! All we heard is how "I am going to run that 3.5" and what did he do, packed up and went home. 
Oh well, maybe next Tuesday.

After running the 4.5 geared 15 teeth to tall. I'm a sceared of the 3.5, (Trembling) OOOOH. I'll run it though, till I break it or smoke a lipo 100 degree's. It was difficult to try and trigger the 5.5 threw the infield . Needs to be tighter. But the straight away was fun. Hard not to laugh. But I have a closer set up now from when I tried the 4.5 so I'm ready. Got plenty of diff parts and tires ready to go. Let it ripp! Erock that 4.5 was as fast as a gas car unbelievable. I will like to see some out door lap times Vs. Brushless and gas. ZOOM! I was geared to tall due to the 81 tooth I had to put on there for the 13.5. But put the 87 spur on with the 5.5 geared to low.
5.5 is a Tweedy bird
Compared to what I expect of the parts breaker 3.5.Definitely going to be to fast for carpet. Butt MUTT called me out so I'm going to have to break some thing.
Definitely next Tuesday.
