I could probably be persuaded to run my RC10 at the JC race. My buddy Robb and I will be running them there this Thursday shaking out the bugs before the Vonats if you can make it down.

Won't be able to make it Thursday night. You will really enjoy the layout, I think it will be very vintage friendly. I would love to see this layout for the big race, but I am sure they will change it up.
It would be great to get more vintage buggys for the 17.5 class. Last year it Freddie V. and myself. The pros were impressed with how well Freddie's buggy ran.

Finished 1st in the D-main. My transponder was not working, but the race director and everyone watching the race knew the old Vintage RC-10 got the win
. Unfortunately, due to the problem with the transponder I did not get a trophy...

Alex was on fire! I am sure he will become a household name someday.
I moved the transponder off my carbon fibre batter brace to my servo using double stick and it counted every lap in my C-main(I got the bump
) which I placed 9th in.
I needed to cut 2-3 seconds off my laps all weekend, in both 2wd mod and 17.5. Plan to get back to the track after I rest up to see if some of the locals can help me shave some time.
The worst part is I run the same lap times with a B4 10.5 as I do with a RC-10 17.5. So I know all the problems are with the driver.

Spoke with the track owner and it turns out my plaque was in the shop.
A Great photographer by the name of Michael Simard was there most of the weekend and managed to get an action shot of my RC-10 during my main.

I am the last picture of 347. Already ordered a 5X7 glossy to go with my plaque.
