Being my second year racing 1/8th buggies, I have learned alot about going fast is sometimes driving slow, you dont always need to go all out to win. I am still working on finding my "perfect setup", there is ALWAYS room for improvement and one day I want to bump up to the Pro Buggy class, I just need to whittle my lap times down some more and keep them consistant.

Today (January 13th) was a great day for me, not only did the buggy perform as it should, but I qualified 2nd in the A-Main (13 racer's in sportsman, 8 made the A-Main). I managed to avoid the first turn crash and took an early lead. I held the 1st place postition for the full 15 minutes, never really challenged, but I knew they were always there just waiting for me waiting for me to make a mistake. At the end of the main, I had turned 36 laps and the engine ONLY temped at 210 degrees. THIS MOTOR IS SIMPLY AMAZING!!! So far this year I have finished 2nd, 1st and 1st, hopefully many more victories for STS and maybe a TQ or 2. Thanks again for helping me stay out in front of the competition...

Good luck to all in races to come, you dont need a $300 engine, you just need a STS!!!
