My Racing History & 2008 Blogg by CuttingEdge

Well another Club meet went very very well for the Cyclone

Its its 10th meeting I think now & still Nothing Broken at all FANTASTIC , its taken some big crashes and nothing has broken Even Jim had a drive Sunday and crashed bad twice & nothing got broke or bent at all GREAT , To Win first you need to FINISH and this is what the Cyclone does every time ,,,,,,,,, Yes I have failed to finish a couple or 3 times but this has been down to my Electrics or Soldering NOT the car .................

In one Qualiy run I beat Ben Reyment this is something I have never done before and sent my confidence sky high although I know it was down to my motor being so much quicker and at the end of quali I was only 7 seconds behind BEN Fantastic
Having said that I needed to keep it on the Black stuff as well so my driving must be going in the right direction also ..........................

Having Breathed LIFE back into 3 older sets of SSB's with what can only be described as Illegal Tyre Additive as thats what it is, & checked over the Cyclone its ready for a Secret test session at Snetterton some time this week ready for the Weekend I don't really need a Test session BUT with the possablity of the track being run in reverse It makes sence to run it in reverse in a whole days test session just in case !!!!!!!!!!!

With my new SSB's arriving in the post today I am all set and with what can only be discribed as the Fastest 13.5 avalable the Orion 2008 I am confident going into the weekend ...................

Ill report back after the Secret Test Session q19

Well where to Start lots of stuff has happened since my last Entry Ill keep it short and simple

The Test Day at Snetterton went very well and I came away from it very happy with my car Except I was still getting slight Glitching of the Electrics ,, But It was Fast and thats what counted , The STCC at Snetterton was that weekend and my Runs were all bar a couple full of Glitching I ended Up 10 in the A Final after 3 DNF's in the Finals due to interference problems But on the upside I made the A which was my goal

And I came away feeling good as I had lent my Spare car to Team Sanders as there SD was Very Sick and Paul put it to Good use finishing 4th in the last A Final and posting the Quickest lap time of that Final with it also ....... Great Job Paul ......

Then I had a Club meet at Coastal which again was not great , well it could have been if i had not had the interference again ...... Enough was Enough having changed all the electrics on my car and Sold what would turn out to be a perfectly good motor which I thought may have been causing my problems when it draged on the ground I Sent back my Electric Speed Controler as It had to be the problem and sure enough it was Nosram sent me a brand new one by return post saying my Speedo was FAULTY ( Great Service From Nosram ).........

So Today with the New ESC installed I felt I had better get out there and Try it so a short trip down to Colchester and Yes the car was Flying going great with a new motor in also FANTASTIC MOTOR the new Losi Exceleron geared at what Losi recomended as I did not want to overheat it ,,, It could have gone faster If I had gone up 4 more pinions which I would have done if it had been a proper Race Meet , That is not to say we were not racing we were and armed with my 13.5 I showed everyone bar one person the way round although he was running 10.5 & behind me there was people running 6.5 as well as other 13.5 runners

Results Sheet below what can't Speak can't lie

If I had geared the motor to what I wanted to instead of being concervative I would had got a 20 Lap time easy , but not wanting to overheat it I played it safe geared at only 4.55 If it had been the STCC I would have geared it at 3.7

Well with a Club meet at Coastal next weekend then off to the KO GP at West London the following weekend I had better get things sorted out on the spare car incase its needed as When a possibly new recrute to the Hot Bodies family drove it this afternoon it suffered from bad interference on turn 3 on a number of different laps

To Be Contiuned................

This Is a very short Blogg Update as I have just got home from the KO in London having spent 3 days away from my family & we are off on Holiday first thing tommorow morning .........

I will update this in more detail next week ...........

Short Story is all 4 of us Coastal Drivers who entered in the 13.5 Brushless class made the A final which was Great ........................

Cam who was in the Mod class up against the Best in the Country made the C final which he was very pleased about & in my opinion he deserved to win the C final BUT he had bad luck in the first corner in all 3 of his finals , Not his fault but when cars spin in front of you thats it if you hit them well good night at this level ..........

I would like to say Cam has come of age over the last couple of meetings I have seen him race in and I am sure he will get there next season ( he has the Skill I am sure )

Team Coastal Photo Cam is missing he had left before we got Pauls and Bens POTS

We made some New friends this weekend also including BIG O as we called him he was very frienly and happy to talk Great Meeting him very nice Person .........

When he left our Pit area we told H who he had just been talking to for the last 30 mins

Full Repot to follow + all of Jimbo DNF Storys Watch this space .........
