very nice must bring back fond memories of the good ol days... eh ;D
Big thanks to Gord for letting me torture test his 1/8 Truggy up in Nanaimo today! The last time I ran offroad was in the mid-late 90's I think. Things have definitely changed! Air Ink's track has some BIG jumps so it took some practice before I could do a lap without landing on my lid. We managed to qualify 3rd overall and we were running 2nd in the main until the 15 minute mark when a setscrew backed out of a CVD and left us with only three driveshafts.
Matt S scrambled to get his Truggy running for the last qualifier, but in the end, he had to start the main with little/no practice.
Gord was slicing and dicing between larger vehicles with his 10th Scale buggy (Associated B4?) with a 27T motor. It needed a 19T to have a better chance at clearing the big jump.
Thanks to Andrew for calling a lot of races and also for pitting some of our cars.
All in all, a very fun time. If you are looking for an offroad fix, you'll enjoy yourself.
I certainly don't miss the dust-cloud that is the track during a race though. Nothing like coming home and blowing brown/black goo from your nose....
Let's hope for sun in Victoria this Sunday,
Blake
Sorry I missed you guys. Too bad it wasn't a points race, I hear the numbers were low. Sounds like everyone had fun though, I'm sure you had a few guys a little worried when everyone showed up :-* I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good weather this weekend.
hey, was really fun, even though I didn't do any racing.
I must say you guys have a really nice set up. the guys were great. was nice to see you guys again. Now I know you guys don't have a loaner program. I guess I will have to get my T4 ready to rock, for the next time we head up island.
