Had a good time yesterday and nick was very accommodating.. but I would like an explanation in mod buggy as to why all 6 ran the 3 heats then mains came up and they ran 3 in the b and 3 in the a... what's the reason for that?? Was it so the guy who ran third in the a could park his car on the track half way thru and watch the other 2 battle for the lead, and the worst he could finish was 3rd??? Just wanting a clarification.....

best etiquette at the track yet he drove through my car going into the corner? yeah he was fast... fast enough to make a clean pass yet thats not what he chose to do. ( it was afterall my 2nd time driving a buggy)A s for clean racing, I was wrecked more times by locals more than any other track i have raced at. did i get into other people? Hell yes i did..right after i chose to drive the racers like they chose to drive me first.If you want clean races it needs to come from all the racers If the track only wants local racers you probably should of posted that on the wesite.

I'm not gonna get in a pissing match with you. I know i need more time with the buggy its hard cause we don't race it locally. Last time I was there I ran mod with 2 of your locals and had no problems I even barely won.. we left your track thinking stock buggy was the ultra competitive class and we were better off racing mod asit had less cars. I've been racing for 20 years I know where your coming from.. I am president of our local club, I know how it goes with different driver ability. I'm not making excuses I tried to give the line whenever someone was around... just like 4wd buggy.. I have never struggles with a car so much... I literally wanted to chuck it in the trash can as I walked out the door.. I tuned and tuned on it but got virtually no where.. I moved over constantly with that car I knew I Had nothing.. everyone that traveled walked out and said I never wanna come back... its hard to travel 3.5 hours to race alone.. which is why we travel together to make it affordable... so im guessing next time we will just have to go visit Casey again... good luck with your track and expansion!!!

I'd like to chime in here. I definitely appreciate the visiting group from K-falls coming out to run. Being new to the hobby it's tough for me to drive with these fast guys so I understand where you're coming from, RcRacersb. What I observed from the races resembled more bashing than racing. I'd like to see you guys mingle more with us and maybe gain some insights to set ups on our track. The atmosphere, at CGRC, is extremely helpful and supportive. We would be happy to help you guys as it would also incur better handling, meaning cleaner racing and control.
I'm sorry your group had a rough time. I feel badly that there was a sour taste leftover.
