Just got back from the GLORCS race at Hardcore Racers RC Club in Flamborough, Ontario. I was running a Clocked B6 in buggy and Clockwork fuel in both buggy and truggy. I just started running the fuel at this event and I've gotta say, it's a great product. Until this point, I had been running Byron Fuel, and I'd say my temps are lower at the same level of power. Throttle response is snappier and my runtimes have improved by 45-60 seconds so far.
I've been having really bad racing luck my last few races and it didn't fail this time around, either.
I had bad luck in my buggy quals, got tangled up in traffic a few times and blew a brand spankin' new 7955 in the last qual. Ended up qualified in the C-main. I finished second and bumped to the B. I had a rough start, but I worked my way up to fourth and was on pace to keep moving up until I blew my rear diff. The B6 was really good for me this weekend. I had tons of speed on the looooooong front straightaway and enough torque that I had to be quite gentle with my throttle inputs going off the jumps. I'm thoroughly impressed with the powerband of the Clockwork Werks B6 and I will most likely replace it with another Clockwork B6 when the time comes.
In truggy I qualified into the A-Main with the Clockwork fuel. I retuned for a rather extreme temperature change about 5 minutes before the race. Unfortunately, the weather went back to what it was 20 minutes before the main and I flamed out several times before we were able to swap out plugs and retune for the conditions. We had it running well when I broke the steering linkage in the truck and called it a day.
I had my fair share of bad luck this weekend! Still had a great time, there's nothing quite like the atmosphere you get in the pits at an off-road race.
