Sorry for messing up whoever hit me but the damn Marshall threw my dead truck in the middle of the straightaway so it was sitting sideways! On the plus side....Mike had a MMM to sell me so I could still run ( don't know why it wouldn't work during the main cause it works fine now and I haven't done anything to it, I even left the unused battery in it from the main). I think I have the CRT.5 figured out, just a stupid little issue. Look forward to next year!

Damn dude, that was me. I meant to ask you about that... :( I didn't even see you there at the end of the straight in the track until just before the truck hit you and I was going WOT. Was not expecting stationary objects to be there. Hope you are alright.
I had horrible luck also, didn't finish a single race w/ the old Revo (should have sold it and got that slash instead...)
Truggy was going ok, but the main was awful, anything that could go wrong did go wrong, including hitting Joe apparently. (esc wire came out of RX, had to pull it off, got bitched at by race announcer for jumping track after marshall put me in the wrong place and I drove over pipe to get back to my part of the track, tried to drive around a pile up nicely only to get hit by some guy pulling out of it then being picked up
last...and apparently slammed into Joe's leg at 35-40mph) I don't understand how I didn't end up in last place on that one. Sure felt like it.
Lastly was the .5s. The one race that was going well all day, then I lose a stupid motor screw. I was able to quickly just pull it over, shove the motor back towards the spur with the one screw left, and put around like my grandma so it didn't DNF.
I felt much better after I was able to do the long jump contest. Got the F'ing Revo to do a full backflip on two or three jumps. Best I got was two laps on that thing all day, but somehow coming down from 15ft high backflips repeatedly doesn't break it. wtf.
Oh well, was lots of fun anyways (after I get over being so pissed how it went lol) and it was nice seeing you all again. Jhautz can't complain too much as I know he was tearing around in the mini-hyper. Nice racing.
