Had a great day today at the Pit Stop Hobbies 10th annual Summer Extravaganza.
I didn’t come in last! Haha. The DR10 buggy was severely underprepared for this kind of racing but with the help of some of the more knowledgeable folks in the pits I was able to make some significant improvements. In the end I was second to last bit at least it wasn’t actually last.
The Slash however behaved quite a bit better but my beginner level off-road driving skills were the real limiter. Still though, I didn’t come in last!
My father showed up for a while and got a couple videos while I was on track.
Round 2 4wd SCT heat 1 of 2
I’ve got a lot of learning to do but at least this is something fun to learn! I’m planning to go back on a week day sometime soon so I can just turn laps without all the chaos of an actual race. I just need practice. And maybe an adjustment to my glasses prescription .
The facility was great as well as the crew running the show. All the classes moved along very efficiently and everyone was happy to help this rookie get where he needed to be on time.
Can’t wait to get to the next event!
