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.

No problem Neil. Least you got some racing in even if it was at a vintage pace
. Make sure you get those spares for your pedator when you get it.
Have a good xmas and new year mate and see you in 2012.
