T San RC: Sid's First (and free) Race of the Season

Sid's Raceway's first race came and went this past Saturday. It started off rainy, and was very cold all day, but went very well. The race started later than planned due to the rain, but once it started to dry off a bit, the racing started. Unfortunately the weather contributed to a lower turnout than hoped for. There were 22 entries, with 4WD SCT and 2WD SCT having the most entries.

While many people had a hand in rebuilding the track, it is Michael Johnson (TractionRC) who deserves most of the credit for organizing the event. He also did a great job in getting Sponsors aboard. JB Catricalla brought the FastCats timing system, and set things up. Yours truly was happy to call the days racing.

The track was actually in very good shape by the time it started to dry up. I took JB's Tamiya 201 for a few laps and was surprised how 2WD-friendly the track was. I decided to take the ol' Torment for a spin before the track dried up, and filled it up with a ton of mud. (check out the pic below) However it ran very well before the mud built up. A lot of people were surprised to see how quick it was around the track. I bet it would have done pretty great in the 2WD SCT races. Next time!

I'm looking forward to more racing over the summer months. I might just have to pick myself up a 4WD SCT! Here are some pics and vids, taken by Michael Johnson, Will Parsons, and Ryan Luna.
