Raced my Vtx10 powered 22 for the first time on dirt today. Only my second time driving/racing a 1/10 2wd Mod buggy.

I placed BQ. B main only had one bump into the A so i needed a win. So none the less I had my typical first lap when i BQ which is lawn darting the first triple. Happens every time. After i was marshaled i was last so i put in a solid lap and starting picking of drivers. by the 2 minute mark i made the pass into the lead. Second place driver kept on pace for a few laps then fel behind and i was able almost lap the feild by race end to take the Bump into the A main.

The A main was stacked with alot of seasoned 1/10 buggy guys who race at the track often. so my goal was to just keep pace. I had some solid laps, staying 1/2 second off the fast laptimes. I ended up fifth in the A. I will take it for my first outing on dirt with my 22. I know were I need to pick up to run with the top guys.

The Vtx10 ran flawless all weekend. I ran the setup for 10.5 in a 22 buggy that was posted a few days back. Awesome power with amazing smoothness.

Looking forward to progressing with the 22 and viper.
