Yesterday I spent the whole day racing- my rc short course truck. It was all done for my birthday!!!! And it was my first time actually racing my truck with others, first time using a real track, first time getting an award!
I got 8 laps in all three qualifying rounds (4th place each time- pretty good for my first time racing) and 4th place in the final race. I even got the fastest lap (out of everyone) in my second round of qualifying.
I went to a pro off-road track down in south jersey for the first time for my birthday. It was amazing! dozens of buggies flying off ramps, short course trucks (like mine) doing something similar to a demolition derby than an organized race, and gas-powered vehicles tearin up the roads and spitting out smoke like heck. Here are some pics (due to personal info, there are no pics of me below):

I shall be posting a YouTube video of the races, crashes, and my first attempt of driving on a real track soon.
