Just a pity about that speed bump that kept appearing at the end of the straight! Can't believe the only damage from my collision with it was two ballcups...

I think I'll be digging out the 5.5T - 10.5T just looks so pedestrian in comparison!

My brother really enjoyed his first night's racing. He was actually worse than I thought he'd be, but the truck isn't exactly nimble...

Put the rat together for him, it will be far better than a truck with no steering!! Must say that the 5.5 was a bit too much for that track, 6 or 7.5 would have been as fast if not faster.

I didn't have it down mate, just took the Cougar. I qualified 3rd in the A final behind Mark Penney and Paul Jennings. I was having trouble all night with the drivetrain, so much so that I couldn't run in the final. Haven't a clue what went wrong till I get her stripped later on today.

Yeah congrats David, you had a good run all night but it was a strange night for breakages - I think the wee gremlins were out.
Loads of breakages and things going pop - including my batts!! (twice?!?!)

But totally agree - another great nights racing.

Thanks Ed!

Good to see a good crowd again. Lots of car types too - Losi x 3, Associated x 7, Durango x 1, CR2 x 1, Schumacher x 2.

Still, with the B4 coming 1st & 3rd in the A and 1st in the B not too much has changed!
