Q2 Report from the ROAR Super Nationals
We have just finished up with the second round of
qualifying here at the ROAR Super Nationals. The track is staying
together much better today along with holding more water than
yesterday providing a more consistent track. This is really good but kind
of made yesterday a waste for setting up on the vehicles. We have gone back to some of the
standard set-ups rather then what we found to work yesterday when the track was dry.
The team is getting closer to a happy place with the set-up
on the TLR 22SCT. Surprisingly we
have been stiffening the truck so it won’t roll as much. Some of the guys have liked the 30 degree kick in
the front and other like the 25 degree kick. For the final round today we will be trying a softer front spring with
thicker oil. We will see what happens.
Dakotah Phend was back to himself in the 4wd SCT Modified class with his Orion powered TEN-SCTE taking a second for the round.
The final round today we will be lowering his body a little to try a lower CG and get a little more speed out of the truck. Mike Truhe had another consistent run and Billy
Fischer picked it up with a 6th place finish for this round. They will go into round 3 with the same setup and are just looking to improve their runs by cleaning it up a bit and taking
out the small mistakes.
1/8th Electric Buggy did not go as planned for the second
round today with none of the drivers making a top 10 run. For the final round today the team are going out with the a key component of just
not making any mistakes. We will see
what we can do in the final round today.
