went to the race

I entered the touring class and the mini cooper class.

The cooper class:The time before last I must have been racing alot of beginners like myself(finished 2nd).
This time I finished 4th out of 6 cars.My inexperience really showed.

The touring car class,well,definitely need practice.I had some extreme crashes too.Messed up a tie-rod.Steering still isn't right.Body had a little damage.Practice,Practice,Practice.

Lol. :stupid:
Sounds like a good time though.
Practice makes perfect (well almost perfect).
Stay with it. You'll improve sooner than later.

My problem is that I'm extremely competitive and that can ruin a day of racing although I know it's my own fault.I had this problem when I was racing quads.I did get over that though with them.Hopefully I'll kick this habit soon with the R/C's too.

 

[RatzoRC]

I use to loose my mind, if it was my fault or not. I just look at it as a day out. I have a good time reguardless now.

 

[race-a-holic]

Definitely need to keep this fun.Hope to enjoy the race next time.
We have probably just one more race this year.The cooper class is fun because of the limited rules for them.The touring class I was getinng lapped often.Experience matters.A faster motor will just make this worse.

A faster motor will just make this worse.

phew! Thank goodness. Glad to see you understand the basics. Work that line!

I wish there was a racetrack around here.. the parking lot is getting boring

 

[race-a-holic]

My friend came up with a way to make a fairly cheap track.He uses old siding like off a house and paper plates for the corners.Duct tape is what he uses to hold it down.

"If you make it,they will come"
LOL!

True... just hard to find people that have on-road cars in my area. We have a place for a track - indoors, cement - even some carpet.. but setting up the track might be the tough job.
