    Still racing carpet oval after all this time. The 2024 seasons was my second full season of racing. Really looking forward to next year . The summer switches to outdoor dirt oval, asphalt oval and off road dirt and off road carpet. So oval racing turns to testing and tuning. I like that part a...

    Well this is it. The last race of the season. It’s a bitter sweet time. I have really fallen in love with oval track racing. But the summer season will be great. I am really looking forward to the outdoor dirt racing and competition rock crawling plus fun trail driving that comes with six...

    Well that was not good. The points ended last weekend because of the Easter holiday and they voted to have the last season race on Saturday. No points and a holiday means no one shows up. It’s all good, I got a free practice day with some of the top drivers. My Busch Pro car got a new personal...

    Sunday morning racing was moved to Saturday and Friday night went late. Lots of really good racing last night. Today is the last race of the pan car series and my first pro race. Points finished last month so this is kinda like a shake down run. Everything is ready .

    Went to the track at lunch today. Just to test my Busch Pro car and my RJ modified. The modified has a new set of tires and the pro is kinda new. I’m racing the modified Friday night but not for the points. And the last race of the season is in two weeks. I am in second place with just a space...

    Back at it for the end of the season. I am leading the points in RJ midgets and RJ modified I am tied for second and ten points behind the leader.

    That was one tough day. First I tried to run my new 21.5 super truck. 3.5 minutes in and the motor shut down with over heating issues. I basically spent a bunch of time and still over heated in round two. Finally after some trial and error I figured out the ESC was not set to Blinky mode. After...

    Tonight was a kinda off night. It’s called oval fun night and not to many people showed up. That gave the ones that did a good opportunity to tune and practice. Best of all the designer of my new 21.5 super truck took the time to help me with the set up. The body looks great and he went threw...

    The track ice dried out and after about three heats it stopped being so slippery. But the whole dynamic was changed. Yes everyone got real honest after the first qualifying rounds. Fortunately for me running breakout I have been practicing NOT touching the ice. And today it payed off.

    That’s was a fun day. My modified won both qualifying heats with 3.9 second laps and I was a lap ahead in the main event before I got taken out. I managed to push back and finished a ver satisfying second place. And my legend was actually going really well and I finished third. That’s a good...

    Actually it sucks. It changes the track and make things crazy. They wiped some of it off. But it was not helpful.

    They cleaned the white plastic ends of the track. It’s called ice and it’s meant to be slippery. Over the last three month the traction compound has built up and they turned black. Well Saturday they cleaned them off and now if you hit the ice you will hit the wall. So it’s a new ball game...

    I put in the slipper clutch to replace the gear diff in the center and the carbon fiber chassis plate. The set up is from the instruction manual. The car is fantastic. I am very happy with it. Last night was really the first time I ever drove it. I was three seconds off the pace but almost never...

    It was fun. I managed to finish next to last in one of the qualifiers. Other than that I was dead last. The cars did fantastic and I can feel the potential. I just need so practice. I won’t get any but I will be back in a couple weeks to do it again.
