This last weekend I went to the Harvest  Race at Rescue. It is the biggest race of the year with 110 entries. When I got to the track for practice my motor was not doing very well. I got it tuned and working okay, but I was only getting five minutes of run time with it. In my first qualifier  I was trying too hard and was just crashing all the time and I got third in my heat and ran out of gas just after I passed the line. The second qualifier was going better until I tried to go a little faster and I started to crash again. So in my third qualifier I was going to try and go slower so not to crash. It was working great when it looked like I was going to get TQ until I got tangled up with another car and it put me back about fifteen seconds. So for the A main I was qualified in the 8th position. Halfway through the first lap I was in third. But then I crashed and I was dead last!! Six minutes into the race I was back up to second place and I was chasing down first place, but then my car flamed out. My car flamed out four or five more times after that. As if that was not bad enough as I was going down the straight away when my throttle servo died! I tried to get on the breaks so I would not run into the wall but it was too late and I crashed into the wall. Luckily my car did not break. Over all it was a great weekend, I learned a lot about tuning a motor and that sometimes driving slower and not crashing is actually faster! I had a great time at the race. After the race I put in my back-up servo and let people drive my 801. They all loved my Tamiya and some are considering getting one.
