This race was super interesting! After watching the video I can see that lapped traffic just wouldn't let the faster guys by at all. I was turned around, flipped over, and pushed well over 5 times. Don't get me wrong, that's what makes this so fun, but you'd think lapped traffic would give to the right of way in this case, and not try to take the leaders out. In my case, at the very start of the race my car did not react at all at the buzzer; it literally just sat there stalled for whatever reason while about about 7 cars went by me, yet I must say it was fun coming from the back to catch the leader. I was able to catch the front runner even though there were some tough battles I fought in the back. Traffic just seemed to get the best of me in this race. I did get within 2 seconds of the leader when lapped traffic took him out. I was able to make a clean pass to grab first, but the former leader and I got together coming into the straight (right at about minute 4:27ish) and I was sent over the pipe; which gave the 2nd place car the lead again. As the marshall put my car back on the track, I was smacked a few more times and lost even more ground. Again, I started to march up to the leader, but there was not enough time. Congrats to the winner! I believe the score is now Team Losi 50 and Associated 1...lol. Anyhow, always a pleasure racing with you all. I will be there next time to capture first place. It's always more fun to get everyone a little rallied up on it. This way there will be way more tension on the next race...can't wait; I wish we could run again tomorrow!! See you all next time.

Oh Yeah, Tell old Westley his language is not PG-13 on the video. lolololol I lost count of the F -Bombs he threw out there. Great video though, and I can't wait to get back at it next time.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Well most of you guys. Robert is there anyway you can upload the video without audio. Unfortunately that would fall under explicit content.

Cant make it to DD need to take a break from that EP drive. Probably just start racing in EP twice a month. 1 on-road 1 off-road. With gas going up $$ im spending like $100+ on just gas a month to race. I wish the out of town folks could get a a break on the entry fees. Gas is supposed to go over $4 a gallon during the summer. Probably just get back into Motocross and desert riding.

I hear that. It is much easier for those who live in EP. Well it was really fun racing with you last weekend and hopefully we can do it again. I was hoping to start up a friendly rivalry, you know, Associated vs. Losi, and get everyone worked up. Anyhow, let us know when you're coming down again.
