[E-Revonut]

Just got home from the RC Pro Series NE round 1 race at my home track, CRC in Rome, NY. There was no class to race my Electric truggy in as their rules specifically state that electric and nitro can't run together. I don't have a buggy yet so that left me racing my SC10 in the SC class. First round of qualifying sucked, it was a mud bath, my truck gained almost 2 lbs and had no power to clear anything. Second round was going great, I was leading the heat until my motor fried with about 15 seconds on the clock. I wound up qualifying 8th in the B main. Bought ANOTHER motor and loosened my slipper (to much). I finished 3, which to me was really about fifth or sixth overall since the top half of the A was all pro guys. Another RCM member was there as well, Stum. He qualified for the A in SC and electric buggy, not sure where he finished in them though.

Big story of the weekend was ProBuggy A Main. Billy Fisher, Losi factory driver, was racing all weekend in both Pro Truggy and Buggy. During the Buggy race he got hit, wound up upside down and got hit again, which resulted in a broken left rear shock. This happened about 7 minutes in and he had lapped all but 2 drivers I beleive. He continued running for a couple minutes, maintaining his position but giving up about a second per lap. Came in and his pit guy changed the shock, only losing one lap. He worked his way back up to 3rd with about 5 to go in the 30 minute main. With 3 to go he took over second, but the leader was still 20 seconds ahead. The leader made a couple of mistakes and on the second to last lap he resumed his position out front and won the race! I know if I had broken a shock, I prolly would have just pulled my truck and called it a loss.
