Race Report
The XXXS shined again this weekend during the club race. It won all 3 heats and the main without any breakage or slowdown. I improved my best lap of recent times by .3 seconds during a chase that lasted only 3-4 laps. I had the fast lap of the race. After that the competition faded. I confess that the one fast professional driver guy moved on to another class.

I had added thick sway bars to the Losi in anticipation of high traction. We were promised 24 lbs of sugar. It was a little damp in the morning so the sugar was not applied. I removed the sway bars before the first heat. I used Sorex 40R tires in about 60 degree weather. The LRP X12 and Teking RX8 worked flawlessly.
A tekin RSPro on a 4.5 in a competitors car continued to thermal.

We had a good number of cars finish the main though. 8 were in the class.
