Took a trip to Yukon, OK, and ran the 2024 SC Mod Shootout. Being that I don’t have anymore SC vehicles anymore, I went and ran two of the support classes 10.5 Sprint and Late Model.
Round 1 Sprint was a handful and had too much steering I usually don’t have that issue and didn’t really know what to do to fix it at the time. Finished 4th in my heat car was fast just not very predictable.
Round 1 Late Model was decent just didn’t have the speed to keep up and ended up 6th.
Round 2 Sprint tightened up the car a little bit and it was better just still wasn’t very stable out of the corner. Was able to make a good finish and start 4th in the main.
Round 2 Late Model car was better switched up the tire choices and car was a lot better just had some bad luck in traffic and would end up 6th starting posisition in the main.
A main Late Model car wasn’t any better added some weight to the rear of car and car was good until track got dust on it and didn’t like it so pulled the car to save my car and not ruin anyone else’s night.
A main 10.5 Sprint car was a rocket ship made a adjustment to the chassis I had tried on the wingless and the car was a lot more predictable and first couple of laps made it up to first after Bryan Bub Bowers had a issue in traffic and for about 13 laps was able to keep the lead until Bryan came flying by me I knew his car was slightly faster than mine and didn’t want to make it a mess and with a last ditch effort from 3rd place had to pass them back to take 2nd place in the last corner.
My Team Exalt Specialized Silver Spec 10.5 was a rocket ship and it wasn’t even turned up all the way I believe I stayed under 90% throttle all night and was only a 10th behind Bryan. The Xr**ed 5700 mah battery and HB110 servo kept the car turning and burning all night. I ran the Rawspeed Radar front and rear Super Softs all night and they were fast.
I would like to thank Raw Speed Inc, Team Exalt, and The Graphic Shop for keeping my cars running fast and looking sick can’t thank them enough.
Thank u to Taylor Park R/C Raceway (Oval) track crew for keeping the track fast all night and even playing field for all the drivers and to Kevin Mcnatt for putting on a good show.
