Another good weekend of parking lot racing. Took TQ with the MX2 but did not run the mains, RAINOUT!!!. My laptimes were about five tenths slower than last week, I think the cooler weather made the asphalt really slick. I could have ran 3-Cells and ran just as fast since I was never full trigger.

Any secrets for running the on slick surfaces? I had to resort to making my finger smoother.

My Xray T2 holds the corners well enough to drive off with a standing TQ in the first heat. The T2 really never lost footing on the asphalt, but with all the 1/12ths out there finding traction was like panning for gold. I was DNS with the T2 for the remainder of the day due to two seperate pre-race hot laps. First was a head on wreck with a wrong way driver, and second was with an 4" PVC "Y" that was being used and a coupling. Yes the Y was pointing into traffic, OUCH.
