Ya it was a fun day! Pulled 8 laps 5:29 with my truggy vs 7 laps at 5:00 with the buggy. The truggys really hook up on a non watered surface! I think the track is great with the new changes and the computers running smooth as silk...

Sunday was a fun day of racing I like racing the three heats even though it makes the day a bit longer and gives you more of a chance to break. My Girl Jan seems to be getting better with the computer, I know she is trying her best. The mains took us one hour and forty minutes from start to finish. My LRM felt good and hooked to the dry track pretty good. My SUT ran so much better with Bowties I thought I was driving a different truck. Congrats to everyone and I look foward to the next race.

I agree that it was a great day, and the computer system went super smooth. The track was a real challange, but tons of fun. Can't wait til next time.

Eric

All I can say is watch out in a month, I finally got the LSP dialed in and the engine running smooth . It was a fun Outlaw race Sunday, there where alot more of them which made it more fun.

I personally think the Arena guy to watch right now is Matt Simpson. After Kevin gets more practice with the sportworks he'll be right up there also, he would of done better Sunday but was to tense and real "antsy" on the stand. I saw it all over his face. Plus he was black flagged for trying to run over people. lol


Having fun again!!!!

That flag was well worth it. That thing makes my VZB seem slow. I couldnt believe how fast i could come up on people. And it seems to own the inside lines. My racen...I dont think that was to bad for the second time out with it. Lap times were faster than with the buggy, but i think the big tires help with the traction at that track. Matts lap times were the fastest of the day(so he says )and had a great shot of winning both classes. When he puts it all together hell win.

Yeah, I'm waiting to check out the Jammin' truggy before I make the leap but I gotta say I really liked the Mayhem ST.

I think a tight turning truck that launches like that one will be the best at LH where we run all winter.

Let's face it, the big truggies are great for the big year round tracks in CA. and summers here but we run a huge part of our year indoors at LH. The longer trucks are a bit more stable on the long straights and in the air but I'm anxious to see the ST with a wing.

Overall I'm glad to see guys going to truggies so they can have their own races this winter and not be lumped with the MTs.

Thanks for the kind words Tex and Kevin That $100 sportworks .26 is crazy fast! I thought my sirio .27 was fast until i saw everyone else running The novarossi .28s looked wicked fast in George and Johns truggys also. The guy with the dialed lsp is John Adams. Ive raced him at the last 2 races ive been at and was happy just to keep pace with him this time. I think your right Satoch the Mayhem St will be tuff to beat indoor! Dirtdawgs has some serious MT racing going on now!

Brian won with his supermax in standard monster truck, followed by me in 2nd.

Not sure who won the other classes, but I'm sure someone will post it up.
