Hey guys,

If anyone is looking to pick up a T4, I have a black box version FT T4 thats avaliable. It is in almost perfect condition, has the Quick Change rear wheel converson, new spare carbon chassis, some new spare parts and a bunch of springs. PM me if your interested for more info. I'll have pics avaliable in a few days. If you have seen the T4 thay Jay picked up from me a few weeks back and think that one was in great condition, wait until you see this one!!!

yah its different not having the fatkid around. anyways when ever you get down there, I left a thank you card in your pits for going to my sons b-day party.

also they changed the track this week. haven't driven it yet but the layout is definetly slower. Not sure how much though because I didn't see anyone run on it yet.

What's up guys!!!!

Wait till you guys see what John and Kyle have done to the layout of the track, it's friggin Sweeetttt

It's a lot slower, but oh so fun, and it's the same layout they're using for the Regionals, so that'll give us plenty of time to practice on it.

Same story as last week for me though, Qualified first for the main (truck) I was leading till the truck glitched bad and hit the wall at full trottle, broke the front arm, and I was done for.

I think it glitched because Me and Kevin channels were real close, I had 64 and he had 65.

Ran the Losi XXXcr, still need to tweak it some more, and learn how to drive it, but qualified and finished second behind Mark.

But all in all, I had fun and the new layout is hella sick, wait till you guys run it.

basically the only thing left from the old layout is the back big double section. Freddy what kind of lap times did you run? curious to see how the times are compared to the old layout.

In the old layout fastest laps were low 16s, high 15s with 22 laps in qualifiers and 29 laps in mains.

New layout, low 19s, high 18s, with 18 qualifier laps with the truck and buggy, and finished with 24 laps with the XXXcr and Mark finished with 27 laps with the 2wd.

I don't really know how the 4wd guys were doing as far as times and laps.

Everyone starts in the front straight away, then a pipe is laid down after everyone takes off, you go around the big sweeper, over the table top, like before.

After the table top, you do a 180 and go across the inside straight away, into the big double section.

After the big double, take the second big sweeper, but instead of shooting down the straight, you have to turn in and go into the two small bumps from the old lay out.

Go into the inside straight, and turn right into a steep small double, that you don't need a lot of speed to clear.

Then do it all over again.

It's awesome, very technical, but it's very fun.

The truck class was pure crazyness at one point we had eight trucks I believe.

Tom D.
John B.
Bill (lonely XXXtcr) won the main after I broke, cool guy though
Ron
Rich
Steve
Kevin
Me

In this new layout, with these many trucks, but it was some good racing going on
