VTA at mikes 8/11

heat 2 VTA.

I did reasonably well thursday night. Even with the 4th place finish. Had a good time, and really didnt have but one bad race. Had a bad lap in the main, and was behind from there on out.

Mikes 8/6

Great day of VTA and F1 racing. Car again was great in VTA, I missed TQ by 2 seconds, and finished 3rd in the main. Car seemed slow on the straights, and lap times showed it. Never got into the 13s in the main. F1 car was another story, went straight to foams after one lap of practice on the very dusty track. Very loose in the rear again in first heat. Got it corrected a bit after talking with Robert Bremer and lowering the front mount of the shock, to make it more level. That really calmed the rear down. Also got ahold of some CRC side springs and did that mod. Big difference. Car got better as the day went on, my driving did not. Crashed out of the main with a busted camber link. Fixed and practiced for a pack after races. Car is coming back around, silvercan is pretty quick too. Nice surprise there. Vacation this week, so I will be at the track all day Thursday. Much needed practice day.

Heat 3 VTA at Mikes 7/30

Trying out some free video editing software. So there s a big water mark on the video. But heres heat 3 of VTA anyway. I dont know how I edited this race from the rest of the video, it was a 28 minute file. Now its 7, and the 2 F1 races and the VTA main have up and disapeared. Im new. Excuse me.

F109

Had a crappy raceday this past weekend. Loose out of the turns. Thought it was just the new tires. But now I believe the culprit is my side springs. I haven't done RobK's side spring mod, but I believe it may be the one "must do" mod to the F109. My side springs are collapsing in the turns and not rebounding. Helps me spin out on power out of a turn, doesn't help getting good laps. I have replaced with springs from my speedmerchant Rev6 and will get the spring holders ASAP. Or I will mod it some other way. I have also replaced the new body for the old body and painted it black. Totally rewired the car, swapped 17.5 for a silvercan and replaced the broken left A-arm. Should be good to go this week. I'm running the first heat on rubber tires again. If I don't like it I will go straight to foams for the rest of the day.

Heres the diffuser I made with a wing from my VTA 65 Shelby 350 body and some carbon fiber looking decal. Once again, I was bored.
