I raced in Round 2 of the Florida Winter Nitro series today. It was the first time with the B5 and it performed very well. I had some trouble early on trying to tune as I somehow misplaced the venturi while sealing the engine (ok the wife moved my stuff and it disappeared). Brett Kingsbury was at the race and spent 15-20 minutes helping me get it tuned and even helped pit for me. I had a great time at the race and eventually finished 5th out of 10 in a combined pro/sportsman buggy main which lasted 30 minutes.

Kingsbury took all 3 rounds of qualifying in pro truggy but had a turnbuckle break in the main. I also watched him help several other drivers with tuning issues without regard to what they were running. He is a great ambassador for Werks.
