well here is the nights recap
i got there pretty late so i was scrambling to get things ready. i have only ran 2 packs in this car ever and that was just practice a few months ago, one of the things i knew i needed to do was change my gearing i was running a 19/81 but it was no where in the ball park everyone i talked to was running 34/72 in stock
so i changed my gearing to a 30/72 the hobby store didnt have any larger pinions, ran one real quick practice pack just to see the power and it wasnt bad i was still getting eaten down the straight but i was making it up the the turns
so there where 19 buggys so 2 heats of buggys i was in the second heat
in my heat i was in the number 3 on the grid so after a few hot laps i knew my tires where not the rite choice i had hole shots on and it was real loamy and wet so mud was just caking up on the tires,but they where the only ones i had so i had to make them work, than everyone started asking what buggy is that and the normal comments,why u running that ,etc etc etc,
the bell toned and the race was on, of course the normal first turn pile up took 1 and 2 out which let me snake the inside and i was gone, i was leading the race by about a half a lap at the 2 min mark
when the race director started in on the fact that i was out in front with a 20 yr old + car
and no sooner did he start saying that,i was coming over a double set and it happened snap i was done
than the race director started in on, well! old parts are fragile and such i was burnt ,when i picked it up it wasnt a old part the broke but in fact it was a new b4 front axel that snapped rite where the pin goes through uggghh new parts oh well there is always the second heat
second heat
i started in the the rear on the grid bell toned and the same thing happened pile up in turn one i slipped through and was sitting in third, we where all nose to tail for about 5 laps i was was eating them up in the turns but they would pull about 6 lengths in the straight, we have a hairpen on the track that i was making up real good time on second so i decided it was time to make the pass i set him up out side in the cha cane that leads into the hair pen sure enough he went to block the outside so i dove inside and skinned the corrugated pipe and popped a ball cap! ughhhhhhhhh i asked the turn marshall to pop it back on he looked at me like what! do what to what!!! so one of the old guys ran over grabbed it and tried to pop it back on by the time it was on i was 2 laps down ugghhhhh oh well there is always the main
so here i em last on the grid in the b-main well at least they have bump ups
tone rang and guess what u guessed it pile up in turn one i was out in front within a half a lap from start (thank you first turn ) i was thinking wouldnt it be ironic all the problems i had all night to come from last place in the b-main bump up and come back and win the A-main! well my race night dreams came to a screaching halt as i heard my pinion let go
so there i was sitting in the infield as the race went onya i didnt make it nor even finish any of my heats but i had a smile on my face and it put smiles on other peoples faces seeing the potential that this old car has, ya its has some modern parts on it but its still a rc10, so ya i did learn some things, never forget loc-tite on the pinion grub screw even in a hastey rush and modern parts break just as easily as the old ones,and as bad as a race night can get, always remember that we race these cars as a hobby we love and that the fun is in the comradery of being out there with fellow racers like you enjoying this lil cars
than as i was packing up a fellow racer that knows i race and collect vintage cars came and put a box on the table and said here you go I know you like vintage cars you can have these, i looked in the box and i had to do a double take and this is what was given to me
well i hope you enjoyed the report
farmer
You will get them next time on the track, but what was in the box would have made up for it for me! 
Now, about that truck!
