don't listen.

Today was round one of a new point series at one of our local tracks. Still have my 12 gallon old Clocked B5 in the buggy as my new P5 was still clutched for the truggy. I will be running the Clocked P5 in the buggy Thursday night at Fear Farm for some weekday racing in preparation for the Nitro Challenge.
I'm usually a conservative type driver with a point and shoot approach to racing. WOT where I can and I go slow in the tough sections just to prevent flipping. With the biggest race of the year coming up in a month, today was time for me to drive balls out and just rip and fling my Agama all over the track. I was amazed at how much easier it was to drive this buggy like I stole it instead of pussying it around the track. First quali got a wet track and I was TQ for round 1. Second quali it was dry as bones and I lost quite a bit of my speed not really being good at rolling the throttle and keeping traction. Finished the heats sitting 2nd overall in a field of some really good drivers but I will be the first to admit it was the more the buggy than it was me. 15 minute main and the track was half wet, half dry so my driving was both good and bad at the same time. Wound up with a respectable 3rd place even with 2 ghost flameouts. The age of this B5 may be starting to show, but its still got so much usable power and just a little flick of my finger clears anything in my path! At one point in the second quali the car in front of me was half way up the front 240" straight when I just made the turn onto the front straight and by the end of the straight I plowed into his ass end thinking he was going to whip the turn and let me go wide. Clocked B5 just hauls the mail on a long stretch and This buggy continues to amaze me even after 2 years and it's time for me to take it to the next level. Boy are these fools in trouble down the road...

There is all ways some one standing around at most tracks, I keep the camera in the pit bag and have my pitman shoot the video's once the race is underway, it also means that the camera hits the dirt if the car flames out too lmao, Video footage helps keep the world rc clockwork family growing.

I enjoy watching other clocked engines doing there thing and most of all getting to see what the tracks are like across the big big pond from us Australians.

So drag a mate to the track, find a friend prior to your heat or race and get those video's up for all to see pretty please, SavageSam

I was only kidding Sam. We had a local guy who used to take lots of video but he moved to Vegas. I guess nobody else has a camera that will convert directly to you tube or such. My video camera uses those silly little discs and they need to be converted and it's a long process and a major pain in the azz

M2C is sending me one of the prototype steel flywheels for testing. I have a feeling this will allow any of the CRE engines to be buggy worthy
