<p>Sunday March, 7th.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wow what a crazy, psycho, long, sad, happy, tired, all over theplace week. That is what the Psycho Nitro blast turned out to be in2010!</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To start off with my 801X buggy and 801Xt truggy came to playthis weekend! On a track that I have always shown well but neverfinished well it was my time to try to shine.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Qualifying went decent for the first two rounds. I was able toput top 3 runs in both vehicles whilst setting the fastest lap times.In my round 3's at 3am my luck wasn't there and I bowed out of both.Overall I qualified 3rd in both classes. A good starting position forthe Hour long A-mains.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Truggy main was up first and after warmups I decided to do a tirechange. My choice to run AKA S Gridirons paid off and on the first lapI powered my way past Truhe and Drake to take the lead and never lookback! My 801Xt was dialed and just floating over all the bumps! My801Xt consistently laid down the fastest lap times and I ended uptaking the win by about 30 seconds over the Drake.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Buggy main was up last and by this time everyone was whooped. Ihad a good start and moved up to battle with Drake for the first 8minutes. I took the lead before my first pitstop but Drake was on alonger pit strategy. It ended up working out for him as he extended abit of a lead. I would stay right with him for the first 30 minutes orso but eventually with a few mistakes he pulled away a bit and withless pitstops I just couldn't catch up to him. My 801X laid down thefastest laptimes but it was only good enough for 2nd. Overall thoughafter my last 2 weekends it felt good to get some decent finishes andhave my Tamiya Vehicles working good!</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Next up Silver State!</p><p>Alpha Plus powered</p><p>Truggy - S852
Buggy - Z852</p>

2010 Icebreaker

2/28/2010

The Icebreaker is held at the Indy RC World facility in Garland Texas each February. This year RC Pro Products/Alpha Plus Team Drivers were in force.
Team drivers Ryan Lutz, Gary Haggard, Frank Sell, Ron Fleck Jr. and Tanner Hagler made the trip along with privateers Jason Howell and Jason McAllister.
I was there to help as needed and managed to stay busy most of the time.

Qualifying went well for our team guys with Lutz taking TQ in both Expert classes. Making the arena Truck A from the RCPP team was Gary Haggard, Ron Fleck Jr and Frank Sell.
at the start of the A main Ryan lost an axle drive pin and once repairs were made he was about 8 laps down from the leaders. So he played catchup but was only able to get back to 7th spot by the end. Ryan did put on a show for everyone track side trying to make up time and literally drove the tires off his truck coming in from the 45 minute main on bald tires. Frank Sell also developed a problem with his truck and dropped out after only 10 minutes and had to settle for 10th. Ron stayed steady and brought his Mugen home in 5th at the end of the 45 minute main. Our top finisher was Gary Haggard with the 3rd spot in his Losi.

In the Expert Buggy Tanner had handling problems during qualifying and had to settle for the C main but was leading it by 1/2 a lap when mysterious problems came up and he had to retire.
Having much the same qualifying woes Frank Sell had to bump into the A main by winning the B with Ron just one spot from a bump spot at the end of the B main.
In the A on the start Ryan flamed and as we later found out he had lowered his idle during warmup. Once the idle was raised he went on the hunt for the lead pair and tried to make up his 2 laps deficit. Frank once again had as he said maintenance issues with buggy breakage which relegated him to 10th again. Gary Haggard had worked his way into 4th and was looking fast until he took one turn too wide to setup for the upcoming chicane and found the only open pvc pipe end on the track which dissected the front end on his Losi and ended his main in 8th. Jason Howell running the F850 hung in and took home 5th. Now while all this is going on Ryan is tearing through traffic and gaining spots but only managed to get the 3rd spot by the end of the 45 minute main. He ran near the top 2 buggies the whole race but was only able to get back about 1/2 a lap on the 1st and 2nd place cars at the end.

Jason McAllister running his Alpha Plus F850 qualified 2nd for the Sportsman A main and brought home a podium finish with a 3rd. This was Jason's 1st big race and he did very well for only having a month or two running a nitro.

Congratulations to all the Team drivers as well as the privateers running the Alpha Plus engines.

Expert Truggy A Podium - sorry this is the only shot that I could salvage.
