So this weekend I raced at the Dialed Inc Invitational in Shreveport, LA.

The track was pretty simple (due to bad weather the layout wasn't finished until 10pm Friday night) but because of the dirt used (river clay) it was hellaciously bumpy and hard on tires (the balder they were, the better they worked).

There were only a few small doubles, but a fair amount of elevation changed and this track was WOT everywhere with laptimes for SC being in the high 20's/low 30's.

Overall I was pleased with the SC10. I qualified 7th in the A in a field of about 40+. The little truck was bouncing all over the place, all you could do was pin it full wood and hope it levels it back out, which is pretty much what I did.

The A Main had 12 trucks in it, the top 3 were what I call "cheater" trucks (converted 1/8th scale buggies), then a bunch of SCTE's, and me (I was the only SC10 there). With a track that fast, if you caught a pipe or an edge you had half the field pass you. I THINK I finished 6th, I don't know for sure because I couldn't hear anything and they *still* have not posted results.

All in all though, the little truck is getting better. The Exotek has made the biggest difference by far, it completely transforms the truck.

I'll be running it in two weeks at the JConcepts Spring Indoor nationals along with 4wd and 2wd open buggy. That should be a better environment for it.
