Anyone planning to go to RCMTRA Worlds @ Barnstormers? They have a BL class :)

Well it was a fun day of racing :)

Mr Mafucci showed up w/ his BL CRT, and his friend brought a Novak powered Gmaxx and a nitro Revo. Mike showed up as well, but did not have time to race.

We all ran together in the BL class. MacII was whooping us w/ his truggy and his buddy and I had a good battle going until he thermalled his Novak 6.5 and I drove away w/ 2nd place.

In the MT class I raced the Revo vs a field of 7 or 8 other nitro versions. I managed to Qual 2nd, I was very happy with that. In the main I even managed to lead a few laps, but started getting all excited, started driving tight & too aggressive and made mistakes and fell back to 4th.

Oh well, it was my 2nd race ever, and the first where I drove against more than a couple other cars on the track. I'm too green to drive consistantly, and the competition rattled my nerves a bit, but it was a blast seeing it pull in front of the nitros. Haha, on the start my truck just flew ahead w/ BL power. I felt kinda like I was cheating for a bit, but that feeling quickly ended w/ the 1st turn then driving ability took over.

My HV mgm/neu setup ROCKED. So much power, so smooth and sooooo cool. The difference over the MM/XL really showed. I also had the truck setup pretty well so it drove nicely, not like at the bash where I was running up on the boards every turn, and bouncing onto my lid nearly every jump. I'll def be going again.

MacII ran his CRT in the truggy class as well. He was running a very good race. He qual'd 2nd or 3rd, and was running a very clean 3rd spot for the first 12 min of the race or so. I was marshalling, and his and the track owner's were the only trucks I didn't have to flip over. Unfort it was a 15 min main, and his 4S 4900 TrkPwrs dumped @ 12min mark. Damn, he was only behind the track owner's truck and some wizkid who also won the buggy class. Very nice race Dave!

At the very end there was a side by side race-off of all the main winners to see who was the grand champion. Dave won the showdown and walked away as the Grand Racing Champion, and a trophy at least 3ft tall


BL represented well. Hope to see even more out there in the future :)
