Default Mod SC....

I was book facing with Todd at RCE, and he said that Mod SC is their second largest class behind Mod 2wd on Thursdays and Sunddays, now if LIR would jump in the Mod SC bandwagon, it'd be awesome, but one can only dream....

At LIR buggies and SC reign supreme....we should really help develop the 2wd class at RCHR to make it even stronger....

As far as people quitting because of a few fast guys:
At LIR Mod 2wd:
Parente, Betts, Schlick, Nocella are the faster guys and they still have a strong class

At RCE Mod 2wd:
Wilder, Cristo, Toddie, Lopes, amongst others are the fast guys, yet 2wd is their strongest class.

It must only a CT thing...

Usually when someone calls someone out they mean they are going to beat them. Not scared at all. Really was hard to even take it seriously. It was really much harder not getting taken out by the new truck then it was to beat it. Sorry but you were 2 laps down in the main.

As for your 2nd paragraph really don't even know how to reply to that mess or if I am even suppose to take that seriously. If you have a problem that needs to get resolved I would suggest Marks advise. Send me a message.

If I am to take it seriously though. WTF someone making threats and not being man enough to do it with there own hands. Kind of a bitch move.

Anyways back to racing toy cars.

Not sure when everyone's goal changed to beating me. Hell Jeff has been the one winning the last couple of weeks. Anyways I look forward to it Freddy. Always a good time running with the Sugar Ninja.

Freddy the difference is the regular guys dont run against those guys at LIR. They have a separate 10.5 class for the mortals.

Do I want to beat you.....yeah, but I'll save that for the track.
On the serious tip......please do not sneak up on me from behind.......I may just soil myself and it makes my neck/arm hurt. Thanks yo.

Okay no problem dont scare the guy. As long as that is settled back to racing.

Anyways as I suggested the other day. Work on beating Dan first or getting on the same lap with us. 21 is the norm. The fast guys are doing 22 (I haven't reached that yet but have come about as close as possible 21 6:00.6).

Well my son wants to go to lunch. Talk to you guys later.

They have regular guys that always run in Mod, like Jason P., the other Schlick, and whole bunch of other guys that I can't remember from top of my head....they always race the class, even knowing.who the fast guys are....

You're only going to get better by racing against faster people, most of the faster guys in 2wd come out of RCE or LIR because they have a pace to follow and a goal to achieve. Look at where all the pros come from, so many are from the same home track (OCRC, CRCRC, etc), no coincidence that Evans and Chambers race with each-other all the time either.

2wd is the hardest class, and usually requires the most driving skill, this usually puts everyone off from it, but if you can drive a 2wd, you can be pretty good at most anything else, they all just feel easier. There's no reason for 2wd to not be your biggest class there, it's always the class with the most entries and hardest competition at any event.

And its the cheapest class to run! Probably half the cost of SCT easy.

People have a different attitude here in CT.

Yup, SC bodies, tires, wheels, and foams are stupidly expensive. It always kills me when I see someone spend $80 on a set of SC tires/wheels because 2wd is too expensive. Same with the $45 bodies.

I pushed for 2wd buggy for 10 years here, I'm done.

Its up to Larry, Freddy, and Alex to push the class now, (my other hopeful Brandon bailed to SCT)
