The Quest for the Extra Lap

[MrSlow]

Another excellent night.
Was it just me or did there seem to be a lot less grip this week?

I was promoted into the heat with the other grown-ups and it made a huge difference. Rather than getting caught up in all sorts of carnage caused by other drivers, the only carnage now was caused by myself

With the inspiration of the drivers around me I managed to get the elusive 10 laps in the first heat. I could have gone home happy at that point

How did the rest of you find it?

I really enjoyed it too - first trip out on foams which seemed to bed on during the night, I think they highlight the cat's weakness though as the car was very twitchy and not as well balanced as on pins. I will make some adjustments for next week and hopefully get that 15 lapper.

Ah, so we have a bid of 15 laps for next week from the rallymad-catter, any more bids for next weeks target?

And I'm also interested in what strategies people are going to use to grab that extra lap.

I'm going to aim for 11 laps. My main tactic is to spend more time on my wheels and less on the roof
I'm also considering going down a pinion for a bit more acceleration.

I too am aiming for 15 laps and even maybe 16 as I have done a 15 already. I am going to have to up my game to keep a head if that Damn xray!! (very quick car and Steve is a good driver).
I have got a new screw for the servo as it is coming loose again which made the car unpredictable in the corners.
I think the less grip u have maybe down to more people running foams and additive.
I must say it was a heart in mouth moment before the start of the final, but after an adult conversation all ok and no damage to either car.
I was thinking about the qualifying heats and until this week I have been probably in the wrong one, but I never expected to be pushing the top of the b or bottom of a after 5 weeks, so it's just the way it is
I think we were all pushing each other this week which is great.
I am loving racing again and proving how good the yokomo bmax2mr is, maybe more will be turning up soon?
Booo to the dirty H2's!! Hahahaha

Hi guys

I'll not be there tomorrow night. How inconsiderate for my friend to have a birthday on a Friday!

Hope you have fun, I'm sure you will.

Let me know how you all go on.

Good luck!!

Boooooooooo
Beers or racing, always a difficult choice.

You see, I like beer and I like racing,
but which do I like best?
Only one way to find out!!!!!
