Number 8 truck finished its two race stint yesterday and now leads in series points. She smoked the natural turf oval with a 1:29 10-lap Qualifier and a 1:27 10-lap Race. Good for a P3 and 18 points, plus an additional 3 points up for grabs at season's end for TQ and Fastest Race. Race was one of the shortest of the season at 56 laps, so battery capacity was still high for qualifier and race. The 8 truck over-staged at the start/finish line and had to complete a slow lap to re-stage, using a little more precious battery capacity. Driver error, but no time penalty imposed.
Week before she came P4 just missing a podium P3 finish by one second. Truck is an Associated vintage RC10GT brushless conversion with HW Pro 17.5T motor/ESC. Battery is GensAce 2s x 4600 60C 'shorty'. Radio is Futaba 4PLS T-FHSS.
Susie, our ACD (Australian Cattle Dog), corner marshaling turns 3-4 just ahead of the drivers stand.
Two races in the season left. The last one a night race. Having great fun. Enjoy. AC
