Josh got to race in round 1 of the Minnesota Off-Road Series over the weekend, good thing the race was in a dome as we got 10 inches of snow at the track Thursday eve. Practice started around noon on Friday to melting snow outside and cool temps in low 40's, was confident in his Mugen truggy set up as it was same as he ran there last fall including the same clocked Bonito. He was right, went out and TQ'd all 3 rounds, engine ran flawless even with the switch to the new Byron's Worlds blend which has less overall oil but more castor. Main didn't go his was, blew 3 tires off if the rims even though he had run them in a round of qualifying with no issues, I switched them but he then broke a servo horn screw off flush in the servo a lap later.
In buggy, josh opted for the P5 with latest mods but not team addition because of the cold temps, practiced a lot a with his MBX7 and was ready for qualifying, TQ'd 2 of 3 rounds, a mistake on final lap cost him the 3rd TQ. Car, engines, tires, everything was great going into main on Sunday, but the weather was cooler and light rain outside the dome. It caused the track to have more moisture in it and this dirt then gets greasy. So wrong tires for main, still took 5th but disappointing after doing so well in qualifying.

Lots of comments on the engines, like how does he handle all the power and they sound plain mean..Josh has run Neal's engines for a couple years now and loves them.
Josh does not ever great fuel,mileage but he is a very aggressive driver and hard on the throttle to which Nick and Neal,will confirm.. Just happy that he can safely do 7.5 minute pit stops in buggy, sometimes 9 in Truggy.
