October 12, 2003 - Olde Town

Started out as a cool morning, but got up into the low 80's by the time we raced.
I was going to run the Dominator, but never could get it to keep running, then when I did it wanted to cut out when it started getting hot. Think this was due to the Large head I put on it (Of which I am sending back) as I found that the stock head does fine until it gets low on fuel in the main tank. I went from 30% back to 20% in it, but still didn't solve things. I ran all 3 heat races with it and just wasn't happy at all with the performance as after about 5 laps it just felt like it was dead, and think that was because with the big head I had to lean it out nearly a whole turn on the main needle and that made it only about 1 1/2 turn out, which was too lean when it got hot. Also started running with the Maximizer rims with the slicks with foams in them, but like the low Profile Pro-Line 40 Road Rage wheels better and put them on as they are so much more predictable.

When it came down to race time I ended up going to my T-Maxx. Only got to run about 3 or 4 practice laps, and but thought it would be ok, and ended up getting the win with 21 laps and Lee with 19. He got in some wrecks, think I even hit him on one, but the rear left wheel stripped the hex out inside the wheel and I only had 2 and 3 wheel at most, so it was very unpredictable, and was all over the place most of the time, but I ran it hard.

The Spence boys weren't there, so I got 100 with the win and Lee 98 and think he might have gotten the TQ with 3 seconds faster then my Dominator.

Good day though and each week I learn more.
