I just wanted to see if any fellow Caster drivers would be attending the race at King Raceway in King, NC on 7/2/11.

I think Mike Shelton ana Mike will be there and I will too.

Looks like 2 E-buggys and 1 E-truggy.

What do you think Mike, you still gonna go to King? Anyone else? Toby, Blake, Greg, Kevin?

bring a bull dozer and we both could fix it in one pass. You drive and I ride. We could even make it wider at the same time. LOL

I'd like to see a crossover!

EVEN a "broken" set of whoops would be awesome!

Well,
I went racing at King Raceway in King, NC this past Saturday, 7/2/11. We ran 3 qualifiers and then the main event.

FIRST ROUND:
E-Buggy: Went out on the frist round and I had a CVD pop out on the left front and got a DNF.
E-Truggy: Went out on the first round right rear shock end pulled out and lost my spring and spring retainer, givinf me a DNF.
I worked on both my buggy and truggy to get them ready for round 2 of qualifiers.

ROUND TWO:
E-Buggy: Went out on the second round and left front CVD poped out again, thus getting me a DNF. This time it broke my light weight outdrive and bent my axle.
E-Truggy: Went out on the second round and the right rear shock pulled out of the ball end link again, but I held onto the spring and retainer this time. Still got a DNF.
I had to work on both my buggy and truggy to get them ready for round three. Tore down the entire front diff in buggy, rebuilt it with new out drives, and reassembled it. I put a new shock end on the truggy and it was done.

ROUND THREE:
E-Buggy: Went out for round 3 and finaly made it the entire race. I was so happy.
E-Truggy: Went out for round 3 and finaly made it the entire race. I was getting things to look up for the day.

I ran in the B-main for E-buggy and there were 2 bump up spots. There was 4 buggies in the b-main as 1 did not start. I did get the second bump up into the A-main. In the A-main, for some reason or another I did not place anywhere. I was told that the scoring only does top 10, but out of the top ten listed, 1 of them broke and did not finish so I am not sure what happend there.
I rane my E-truggy with the nitros yet again and was told that we would be scored differently, (but this didn't happen), so I managed to get an un-heard of 20 minues from a single 4cell 5000mAh 60c lipo. I did get second place out of the 2 electric truggys, but 5th place overall.

A very special thank you goes out to Mike Shelton and his son for helpping me repair my buggy/truggy between rounds and for turn marshelling for me so that I could put in some wrench time. These 2 guys are the absolute best friends that anyone could ever ask for.

Mike did have a good day with his e-buggy and pulled down the 5th spot in the a-main.
