Ok finally I got the video up on youtube. I started dead last in the Amain because of some bad qualifiers from traction rolling so much
But worked my way up to 4th by the end. I got smacked 3 times right in the first turn, I think if that didn't happen I could have finished a little better. About a minute to go in the race, I was all over the leaders hehe. Infact, the red car wouldn't have gotten by me at the end except he smacked a wall and flew across the track and landed in front of my car lol. He was in second anyway so it didn't matter, but I was happy they couldn't lose me at the end
I took it a little easy at first because I was scared of traction rolling, You can see me driving a alittle cautious at first.... but after I knew the setup change was good I put the pedal to the metal! Only shaft car there, Only Tamiya, and only plastic tub car hehe
TB03 POWER!
Enjoy!

Makes for some super fast racing, but setup is so so important there. But because I was limited by the TB03's chassis flex, It made it frustration to try to get the car to turn without traction rolling, or not get too lazy by going to soft on the springs. Thanks for the compliments

Yeah I always figured sealer on asphalt would make it get really slick, but maybe they use another technique out there or what not. Thanks for the tip, I'll plan a couple of setups in advance.
Yeah hope to see you out there. I bought my plane ticket yesterday

What camera are you using to film and upload your videos?
I use a "Flip ultra HD" . It records in 720 hd @ 30 fps. is smaller than your hand, has a usb stick that pops put of the side, you plug it in to your comp. It takes about 3min to put a 8 min video up on youtube using the flip software it comes with. It is the best.....ck it out The flip hd ultra 
ok commercial break is over...........
We are all glad that you take the time to post your videos.

Timmie nice run there. I notice in the final minutes that your speed seems to be the same or even faster with the winning car.

TB-03 at West Coast RC Raceway
WOW we socal boys hit the jackpot! I finally got some time to run at our indoor asphalt track.. YIKES! the place is dialed.
high bite indoor asphalt. HUGE track.. id say about 130' straight with curbs (Tamiya USA style).
the graphite tub was PERFECT here. it was more of a shakedown run than testing. i forgot my RCGT tires so i ran an RCGT set up but with RP36s. cant wait to go back. next time im bringing a video camera too...
