First trip to the track

November 18, 2006

Well this morning I took my first trip to the track near my house (since Im home on Thanksgiving break). The place smelled of traction compound that's for sure...

I asked around to some of the locals while they were wrenching on their cars. I gotta say the guys were really nice that I talked to. They answered my questions which will really help me in getting ready for my first club race next month. They even offered me some pizza before I left. How cool is that? I expected these guys to be nice but not THIS nice!!! While I was there I also picked up a set of servo mounts for the TC3 while I was there.

On the new car front, I was able to work out a deal for a TC4 which I should have in time for Christmas break.

Well that's it for now but I will definitely make sure to let you know how I do in my first race next entry.

Problems already

November 2, 2006- Well I haven't even run my first prepatory race and already I have problems.

I went into the closet of my dorm room to pull my TC3 out and give it the premilinary once over and lo and behold, the body is very badly damaged and the body posts are bent in towards the center of the car. So I haven't even run a race yet and I already have to replace stuff. THis could be a long few months...
