Took it out for the first time since loonie run. Aired the tires, topped off the Struts, and took 3rd in the unlimited class out of 20+ rigs.

Then @Grassman stole it and ran up Bounty Hill a couple times :teehee:.


Parked back in the garage awaiting rbor Bundy race on the 18th. Maybe I'll check the oil before then :sonicjay:... Probably not though.

Race 2 completed. Pulled double duty this race.
@BigBird did me proud and ran a strong race in the drivers seat. Laid down a hard run that was good.

I wasn't sure if I was gonna match his intensity :sonicjay:.

He ran 6th and I 11th.

During his run however my fans came unplugged so by the end the engine temp was pegged. So I got them hooked backed up and engine cooled in time for my run. His run could of been a little quicker I think if it hadn't got so hot. Lose a little power (don't have near as much as my competitors lol) when it gets hot like that.

I was able to put down another penatly free run :woot:.


It took a minute to get used to the steering again. The buggy has the same p/s pump, ram, coolers, damn near the same length hoses, only difference between buggy and jeep is the orbital. And the buggy steers way faster then the jeep. And it was obvious to me during the race lol. I kept over steering everything lol.

But it held together for both racers/races :woot:
