Thanks to Dan and Martin for running the meeting for us. And Glenn for doing the 4wd heat.
I managed to total the cougar halfway through the first race, smashing the front bulkhead to bits and snapped the shock shaft and bent a turnbuckle. And with none of it in my spares, my day was done.
But no.......i remembered i had my old B3 in the car for my son to use at the end of the day. So armed with a 17x2 brushed motor from 1997 and an ancient esc i was back in the game. Well kind of - i didn't have a choice of tyre (as the B3 has 2" wheels not 2.2") or enough grunt/traction to reach the table top. So i kept landing on the up ramp.
Sorry to anyone in the 2WD that i held up, i did spent most of the race letting people thru.
And to top it all i pulled a muscle in my back when i was marshalling so i have to have an office day today
Still thats 2011 race season over for me, the cougar will be up for sale soon. Roll on next year with a fresh start in 4wd.
Cheers
Neil
