Speed World 2WD SCT Enduro winners!

That's right, Team Super Pit took the top spot at Speed World's first two hour 2WD Short Course Truck Endurance!

Super Pit's team consisted of the usual suspects, Bill Jones (left) and yours truly, Tim Sanderson. However, the third team mate was Super Pit's newest member, 11 year old Julia Ferraro. The three of us ran Bill's Traxxas Slash to the checkered flag. While pretty much all all of the parts on Bill's slash are stock, (with the exception being the electronics) it was 'Jonesed up' with the usual Bill Jones set up magic.

I thought this was worth noting, to remind the other teams of what beat them:


Firefox suggested I change the name of the truck we won with, to 'Trash Slash'. In yo' FACES!

Julia started off the rotation, followed by me, then Bill. It was very close for much of the race. After about 1.5 hours into the race, Team Dingo had a 5 lap lead on us. Then, Team Dingo's bad luck (or our good luck, depending on how you look at it) saw them break a front bulk head on the SC10. The time it took them to repair their truck gave us more than enough time to build up a comfortable lead for the remainder of the race.

Thanks to Alicia for taking the photos below:

I'll add captions with people's names when I have a bit more time.
