To whomever was cool with TQ-ing and still running straight up starts I commend your sportmanship for letting guys a few clicks off like me run essentially the same start. The beginning is the most exciting part of the race for me and even though i got caught up a few times a few other times I made it through. With the insane turnout expected we probably won't be able to do that in Spec but you open folks should be good to go with probably less numbers.
That would be me... But got the short end of the stick in the start of the main. But no problem rubbin is racing, and that was corr style all the way.

I hear you same happend to me on my rushed start...I felt bad Mike was having trouble at the register and had other stuff on his plate. He rung me up during the oval qualifier and I had to scramble to get my s*** together. A shock cup was off, trim was non-existent and I was sloppy as hell because of it...not to mention I never got checked in so the whole race was off the books.
Bottom line LESSON LEARNED! You can't rush race prep.
Thanks for waiting that 5mins guys...I got some good practice in the very least lolz!
It is hard to not scrub and accidentally put a guy out..sorry if I tapped a few but for the life of me point and shoot precision handling is not a virtue of this truck and I am pretty decent on throttle management. If I pulled something like that in expert 2WD you would all have a right to kick me in the Moocow ballz lol...
Start to finish those races overall were pretty damn clean but the turn one pileups wer inevitable.
Having raced two weekends now I hope to catch up to you vets and get the right mix rolling.Now more then even less is more with these trucks...I am essentially starting over.
Who is the guy who ran the Fabtech Slash? Out of the box and pretty damn good...I'll have to save up a bit for those lipos...I need a charger for them first!
Again, I almost liked marshalling the bucket for expert as much as racing...exciting shiznit.

old school that is me with the fabtech slash that truck is right out of the box it was my 8 year olds who said it yesterday that he has no interst in the sport so i have a new slash. Raul I love the heads up start and i say we keep it like that (the tq should get first pic on were he/she starts on the line and there on) guys i had a blast once again. Less is more with the slashes and i had a blast HEY Mark we are going to run a points series guys what do you think of these two rules one if you are caught cheating you lose two weeks worth of points and second once a month we should do a motor buy day were the 3 last finishers have the chance on buying the top three guys motors what do you think Team Express will be running 4 slashes

No, just 2wd. I will still run my 4wd, just not all the time. Plus my B4 is totaly dialed and it feels like Mark's RB5. I forgot about the body, but I will grab it tomorow. I didn't bring the other one either, totally forgot about it.
#4035
Let me know when you grab new body. Want to make sure what colors we are doing. thanks
