Thumbs up USA TEAM DRIVER REPORT!

Here you go yanina,
so here is the report for the "BATTLE AT THE BERM".
by : jeff jenkins

A1. Everyone lined up on the starting grid. the grid consisted of all kinds of cars . there was my x11 and some kyosho lazer sp's and a losi xxx4 and there was bj4 worlds car and i think there was also an academy sbv2 pro.. so it wasn't a one brand show.. anyway's the buzzer sounds and A1 has started i go into the first corner and head on to the backstretch.

I kept it smooth and i am not pushing the car i know if i stay consistent and don't take any risks i can walk away with the win. i made it through the back straight with no problems and started to pull away little by little... till towards the end i had a massive lead of 28 seconds!!!!! and in my head i was thinking wow because in no way was i pushing the car to its ability i was playing it safe and the car was so good it could drive itself. so i ended up winning the first a-main with no problems.

4WD MOD ELECTRIC A1 Main Round# 4, Race# 10

in the second i main i started to have a little trou ble as the weather was affecting my car.. it was all of a sudden very windy and affecting my car in the air and now i am making mistakes and it is costing me big time.. my car flipped i think twice in this race and 2nd and 3rd managed to get passed me so now i was thinking.. catch up and take it smooth and take caution in what is going on.. so i catch up and pass both 2nd and 1st place as they got tangled up off of the quad jump before the straightaway.. but when i got to the back stretch i got into a little trouble as the wind caused my car to nose down hard off of the first double and the back end slapped hard and got loose which then when i went over the next set of bumps i was on my lid..lol damn. now 2nd went by me again. so i chased him down and stayed right on the tail of him and waited for my shot. i saw an opening at the end of the s-section into the corner so i used my horsepower to get around him and them i laid down the hammer and got a good lead going and took it easy from then on and got away with the win but as you will see it is not my best race as my lap times suffered as well as the time it took for me to get 12 laps in.. but i will tell you that this was the most exciting race i had all weekend kept me on my toes..lol

so this was my somewhat race report for the weekend hope it was okay.. all I can say is the predator x 11 is an amazing car and was a dream to drive .. it made all of the people start talking about the predator now as they have never seen one and it took them by surprise.. thank you team xtreme for a great car and cant wait for all of the other developments that come along to push the car further.
