August 10, 2003 Old Town Hobby  

Had a pretty good day. Truck started up good and ran good. Temp was running 230 at the end of the 10 minute "A" main and this was with the turbo plug in it. Temp outside was in the mid to low 80's so wasn't bad.

I just ran the first Heat race and did 14 laps in it. That was the TQ to that point, then Lee came around in the second, or 3rd heat race and did 15, so he became first and got the TQ for the day. Robert and Josh both had problems, but they got most things fixed.

I ended up qualifying 2nd and ended up 2nd in the "A" Main. Lee Rader finished first with 27, me with 24 and Robert Spence with 22.

I need to work on getting the truck to stay in 1st gear, as I ran the whole race in 2nd and lost a lot in the corners because of this. Hope to build a new trans this week, and try a new radio also.

See what the next week brings.
