Thanks to all for an excellent day's racing, specially Dan and Al for welcoming a returning 1/10th driver and being helpful with setup etc.

TBH driving a 1/10th buggy on a purpose-built 1/10th track was like playing a video game compared to the 1/8th brushless buggy I normally drive, it was so much harder but I think it was good for me. Also the 10-minute break at the end of each round was a good time to change something and try it out straight away, for me this really added to the true racing experience.

I really enjoyed myself, even though I didn't do all that well I learned a lot playing around with sway bars and stuff, on the way home a light bulb went on above my head and I suddenly realised that what my 1/8th car needs is more off-power steering so i'll be trying the same things with this next time i'm out with it. Sometimes you can get too close to something to "see the wood from the trees" and a change is as good as a rest
