Only two other drivers could have dropped me down to third, and one of the drivers got TQ in the third round and put me to a third place start for the main. I was very close to being able to one stop our 20 min main.

I had a great start, moved up to second and stayed there for the first 5 minutes, then the little errors put me back to forth. My pitman (Pa) told me it was time to come in, and I told him I am one stopping it. I had nothing to lose and was thinking I could gain a spot or to back. One stop worked and I finished 3rd in the race.

After all six races in the series, I ended up 4th overall, not bad at all for my first and last full year of truggy.

I have been very impressed with the engines. Power, milage and reliability.

Thank you Lance for all of your hard work. Even though I am retiring from RC, I will still be around race directing, I will still talk highly of what you are doing with these engines.


Hey with one pit in a 20 minute main, 3rd place finish and 4th overall in the series, I would say you did great

Thanks so much for the update. And be sure to keep in touch.

Lance
