Last week I headed down to Florida to do a little practice at Lake Park before the JC clash, I was running my buggy most of the time and decided run my truggy to finish the break in process before the race. There were some jumps that I really had to get into the throttle to clear with my buggy so I figured with the truggy I would not be doing them. That's how it normally works anyway but that was before I had Neal's Bonito. My first lap out of the pits was right into the sweeper to a section of jumps and of course thinking I would have a hard time clearing them I punched it and over jumped everything on the track!! Then I hit the straightaway and it had a nice smooth but powerful acceleration but by about midway the engine exploded into something I have never experienced with any off road engine. The sound and pull this thing had was crazy!! I had a huge smile on my face and told my buddy this thing was serious!

So when I got the the Clash I ran my buggy a bit and was having trouble clearing the quad in the middle of the track, I told my buddy, wait until I break out my truggy, I'll clear that by a mile!! He laughed and told me I was crazy and bet me lunch I wouldn't be able to do it. At the time the track was high bite btw. Then I got my truggy out all excited to get a free lunch, so the first lap I just tripled it and the next lap flat landed the quad over jumping it by a foot or so. Everyone was going nuts. There were only about 10 buggies doing the jump and no truggies except for me.

I didnt have the best of time in qualifying with the changing track conditions, mainly do to lack of experience in that type of condition but in the end I was able to place 4th in the Amain. I lost my advantage for the main and qualifying so I could not quad the jump, lots of rain made the track slower by about 2 seconds and the run before the quad was slick. I was still able to do 10 minute stops with the high speed needle pretty far out. I can't wain until it breaks in!

In short WOW I was impressed! I can't wait to try something in my buggy that Neal does this spring (Novarossi of course)
