I'm big on the concept that a successful day at the track is one where you improve. Last time at the track, I ran 6 laps and was dead last qualifying and running in the C main.

Tonight, I ran with the new servo, new radio, new battery, and new clutch basket. Ran 8 laps during my qualifiers at 5:33 and 5:36 total time. I notice when I'd land jumps that the back end of the truck would get really squirly. Being so new to off-road, the fact I noticed this at all suprised me. I looked at the rear suspension before the main and noticed the rear end was really low. I raised it back up to just a bit higher than it should be and that was my only change.

I qualified 4th in the C main tonight so that alone was better. Then I ran in first for the first lap across the line which is the first time I've lead an off road race. I never dropped lower the second and finished there out of 8 trucks and ran 9 laps at 5:00.060! Almost 10 laps. I then got bumped to the B and ran 8th out of 11 because my nerves were getting to me. Still ran 9 at 5:31 so improved a whole lap compared to my qualifiers.

Overall, a pretty good night and at least I did better than last time. Truck felt good with the rear raised up a little and the 8.5 540 I run had a considerable amount of power with the new slipper and batter. That cluch basked made a ton of difference. Well worth it.
