03.08.2009, 03:38 AM
so after work i went to the track to watch the races. and when i got there they had just started. They do 2 qualifying and 1 main. Well after the first round of qualifying by boss who was announcing the races told me i should race cause there was like 4 cars in beginner and i had a pretty good chance. so i said sure. went out to my car and got my stuff and got ready.
I have 2 batterys and one was half charged and the other was dead. I stared to charge both and the half dead one i used for the qualifying race and the dead one was going to be charged by the time i had to do the main.
After the first qualifying race i had placed 3rd. and then the main came. by battery was 95% charged. and it was time to race. so i put it in my car and went out there. i did not warm up lap i just sat on the pit wall and waited for the race to start.
The race started and i jumped into first on the frist straight away and after that i keeped the lead and my lead kept getting bigger and bigger. after 2 min. into the race i stared to conserve by battery. i was bearly on the trottle at all the rest of the race. and its a 12min race.
So i was on my last lap with about 20sec to go befor the raced was going to end and i was going to win my first race when my battery died!. I was so so so close to the finish but i got a big DNF witch sucked!. but everyone says i still won but to me i lost and now im going to starte messing with my setup so i can get a full 12mins of race time.
well i just wanted to share with you my first buggy race.
