Guys just a quick update of my PNB race.. Travelled up from Bermuda on Thursday.. Drove two hrs from Atl. International and arrived at track approx. around 9pm.. prob didn’t get on the track until 11pm, and had about 3or 4 10min runs before quals on Friday..
For those that have been to this race, it's intense which is why they call it the Psycho Nitro Blast and it's very well run by the PNB crew..
I must say my Agamas ran really well and it was only a handful represented at this race..
I entered Open Truggy and Buggy and the 40+ buggy classes.
In open truck I Qualified 1st in Bmain, but I knew I had an Amain truck all day..was sitting 4th overall after Two rounds of Quals and my 3rd qual did not go as planned which bumped me down the order.. In the Bmain was out front through the first half of the race with an easy transfer, but had a servo go bad on me.. so that canalled my chances of advancing to the A final, but the truck was on rails all weekend with lots of compliments and enquiries..
In 40+ classs again after resort I was in the A quals pushing hard but a few costly mistakes qualified me in the Bmain at the 5th Spot.. After the main got under way my first mistake was not running the car hard in the 3min practice before Main.. forgot that during quals temps were pretty warm but Sunday the temps had dropped at least 15-20degrees maybe more.. pretty much at this time I was operatering on about 7 hrs sleep from thurs lol.. for those that have been to this race..sleep is not guarantee especially when a couple of your buddies have a 6am main..lol but all in all was running top 3 and the engine went lean and instead of coming in I decided to stay out to my pit window to come in, which cost me because I could not jump anything..Also I could not here my pit guys anyways..lol but when I did come in, a couple a turns of the jet I was able to make my way up to 5th just short of the transfer, but was very pleased how the car handled as the track started to develop some serious ruts..
In my Open Buggy, which was my best class against some very fast guys. I qualified 10th in the A main. I made sure to run engine hard before main..lol after sitting in 3rd the first few laps the announcer started to call my name and commentate on me and of course mistake after mistake...lol but was able to get back in a groove and finished 8th..
I was very pleased with my showing and looking forward to my next foreign adventure
hopefully next year we can get a few more Agamas up there representing..
Thanks again to NEMORACINGUSA for all their help.. :-)
