I got my first win!

Post by jayman24 »

I took first place in the b-main tonight! Got bumped up to the a-main, and was so happy I came in 1st I came in last.
At least I did it. That's why I'm in the hobby anyway.

Congratulations! :D Success comes in small steps. Pretty soon you will become a staple in the A main, then you will be a constant contender for 1st place. Sorry, but I'm in a youtube frame of mind this comes to my brain... besides, Survivor is a great band. 8)

The outdoor racing starts in the next couple weeks here. Tonight was the last indoor race. I've been working on my throttle control, and taking my time. Just trying to keep it smooth. They changed the track too which I think helped. Its a little easier to navigate. Either way I'm happy with it. And I met a guy that has an associated b4 hes going to sell me for $80. Complete, but has no electronics. Comes with extra tires, and bodies. So that was like winning a championship to me!
