The first round of the RC Pro Series June 11-13 in the Northeast was held at one of my favorite tracks to go to , CRC Raceway in Rome, NY.  My weekend definitely didn’t start off on the right foot and I should have taken it as an omen.  On the day of practice on Friday, it was beautiful and sunny.  To my misfortune, I ended up sick all day and missed all my practice, but I would still be able to get a few laps on Saturday morning.  When Saturday morning came around, we stepped out to a whole lot of rain.  It finally broke for a little while, but the track was definitely wet!  My first qualifyer was my first run on the track.  I was doing ok and taking it easy since I hadn’t had any time on the track but something just wasn’t right.  It felt like my throttle was sticking and my steering was not working properly.  I was not able to finish the qualifyer.  I came back to my pit and changed out my spektrum system and switched to my Futaba FASST system.  And to be on the safe side I also switched out my steering servo.  The second qualifyer was not run on Saturday due to rain so it was run early Sunday morning.  I started off well in the second qualifyer with my electrical problem fixed.  Then it fell apart.  I lost the motor mount plate screws and I was doomed from getting a full qualifyer on the track.  Being still hopeful going into the mains, I was qualifyed for the C-main.  I was fighting for second for a while and fell back to a solid third place.  With only a few minutes to go, a marshall stepped out on the track as I was in mid air.  My tires caught him just right and I wrecked my servo gear.  Definitely one tought race weekend for me overall, but weekend like this make me try even harder the next time.
