I know I am a little behind. I went to Hobbyplex in Omaha for their Byron's Heartland Challenge this past weekend. This was the first time I had been to Hobbyplex, and it is a very nice facility. There were a total of 30 EBuggies, and everyone was within about a lap and half from first to worse, so very close competition. I qualified 21st, so 9th in the B Main. I drove around the first corner wreck which put me up to 6th. A few laps later, I caught and passed a guy for 5th, stayed there for most of the main. With about 3-4 minutes to go in the 10 minute main, 3rd and 4th wrecked which moved me up to 3rd. I had a freight train back to 7th and then the leader behind us for a couple of laps. I caught a pipe too close and flipped over, which put me back to 6th. I was able to get 5th back 2 laps later, and finished 5th. Not bad, considering I was the ONLY Serpent there, lots of Kyoshos. Car was good, traction was consistent, no real big jumps, and lots of places to put the power down. This was one of the cleanest race weekends I have been a part of, and I have been racing for 20 years. Cudos to all the other racers and Hobbyplex for putting on a great event.
