Practice Goals
Improvement Focus
- Learn to handle new truck. Make adjustments if necessary. Gather setup info from other racers.
- Average lap times in the 18s, record at least one 17
Practice Outcome
- At the end of the day, my truck felt like it handled just like my old one. I don't think my racing line changed at all. Gearing set properly at 25/76.
- In the morning, I was driving pretty poorly, with laps like 20 and 21 seconds happening frequently. In the afternoon, I got them down to 18s successfully. I don't remember if I got a 17 during practice, but during the qualifiers, I got a couple 17.9s, and during the main, I got a 17.7, with a top 10 average of 18.7
Contributing Factors
Car Setup
Changes to SC10.2:
- Ride height lowered slightly - No change
- Bald bar-codes instead of Rebars - Significant traction improvement
- 25T pinion, instead of 24 - Slightly quicker, could hit triple for longer.
- Diff loosened 1/8th turn - Reduced oversteer, but also reduced straight line speed.
Track Conditions
Track was very damp, and weather was humid, making it take longer for the track to dry out and improve traction.
Race Results
Qualified fourth, finished second.
