At the No Prep Event

Hi,

Just had a quick look through this Thread, Awesome build mate.

Cheers

1125$ pot 45 cars the competition was out of my league I was kind of surprised at the cars and drivers that were there, a few sponsored guys (Associated, Tekin....) a few out of state guys and a hell of alot of fast guys and gals..

I picked #12 chip LEFT lane against a fast car but to much power came in to quick and the car blew over mid range, sucks I had the other car covered so now I know what I need to do..................... I'll need to find a good video of my pass once posted...

This is only a quarter of what was out there and i'll have a short video soon.

Went out first round, during testing I had it turned down and it just wasnt fast enough to compete but it went straight and no power wheelies so my dumbass turns it up 2 notches when I should have done one and guess what........................................................power wheelie out about 10-20' rode the wheelie bar and shot me to the right you can see the still shot at the end of the video next time I guess..

Car was great driver was asleep at the light in the 2nd round, car went straight every pass but no slow mo videos of the rear tire movement this time. It’s time to put the good electronics in I’m about 2 car lengths behind against the super fast guys.
