See what a lighter truck can do? lol You used the 50ton monster for those first results, and the lighter truck for the second set of results!

Actually I used the same truck at both races. I did have it tuned better for the 2nd race though.

Earl, unfortunately, everyone was going faster on the new layout. Those lap times are faster than the last track. But it is good to run all the way to the finish, yes!

Definitely. I (and others) were dissapointed in the way people who raced before us marshalled. I actually watched one guy who put forth very little effort to nudge my truck out with his foot so I could continue. Others had some very colorful language to describe it

A-main GT guys get stuck marshalling the lower MT mains and they can't understand alot of things that go on during that race. To them it is a crash up derby.

When a truck turns over when I'm marshalling, boy, I'm moving at top speed. And IMO those in the a-main crash twice as much as those in the c-main.

IMO, that is true for the M/T class. This Sundays a-main M/T race was horrid, it looked like everyone was out of control crashing into each other....only 3 out of 11 trucks finished the race

Fast marshalling I guess.....
At least 6 out of 7 trucks finished the C-main, which is much better then 3 out of 11 finishing the A-main.
What does that tell you?
