CRCRC Day Two




So the track was soaked last night and traction was awesome all day today. Slicks were still in fashion and hopefully it will be again for qualifying. The track is so much fun to drive. Again the lap time battle was on and times are now into the low 17 seconds for 4wd (Jesse Robbers with a 17.1 I think). Robbers is looking good out there (always does here) so are Tebo and Losi duo Chambers and Evans. Cavaleri looks a little ragged out there but his times are fast still. The Losi cars looked dialed out there right now. Not much practice time with the controlled practice, but that is par for the course with almost 400 entries!!! The old "watch the triple" had been replaced with "Watch the double double". The announcer is a machine and does not get the thanks he deserves. Things have been running smooth and efficient as can be with this many people. My car is pretty good. I think there are a couple of different basic set ups people are running on the RB5's (Betts and Tebo) and mine is pretty similar to Tebo's with minor camber height differences. I didn't think I would like running the 13.5 class as I typically just run mod, but I'll say that it didn't feel that bad out there.

Random Thoughts:
- Henry from CRCRC personally gave me a Medium sized shirt...lol...I got a XXXXXXL last year as a joke cause they ran out of mediums. Thanks my Filipino brotha!

- Still lots of tire grinding all day long. There was a constant whir of belt sanders, drills and dremels
- Again props to the CRCRC crew for running a great event and keeping it running smoothly today
- I will pray to the traction Gods tonight hoping the traction stays like it is.



Jay'isms
- Jay spilled the tire bucket...although it was NOT entirely his fault as Steve had moved it under their table without telling him it was there.
- Jay is looking good out there and is driving well. Props to Jay.

Ryan'isms
- We placed a wake up call to Ryan this morning consisting of blasting "Jessie's Girls" over the phone.
- Ryan is being relentlessly ball busted over this whole thing still.
