This weekend I traveled with my XRAY cars to Piaseczno in the middle of Poland. It was Round 2 of the Polish Nationals, and the weather was pretty good at around 25°C. The track wasn't really long and laptimes were around 25sec/lap, but it had a lot of grip so I changed the diff oils slightly form 5-5-2 to 7-7-3, and also I put in stiffer anti-roll bars. I tested many tires and after all rounds of qualifying I choose AKA CROSSBRACES soft. The track was a little bumpy with few high-speed corners, but I stayed with 10° caster blocks.
We started qualification at 10:00AM on Sunday. In my first round of qualifying, there was a bit of dust on the track so the 0.9 clutch springs worked perfectly. I took the TQ title in both E-buggy and Nitro. I did four rounds of qualification, but I didnâ t run last fifth qualification so I had more time to prepare my cars for the Finals. I replaced a few bearings so the cars were like new for their finals.
Saturday finals were really good for me. After winning my semi-final, my mechanic set my RB B11 very well and it was easy to run more than 10 minutes with the engine running at 105°C. I started the A main at 12:30PM. Right from the beginning my XRAY was doing a great job, so I was in the lead from start to finish. I won the main final by more than 4 laps over 2nd place driver Pawel Wilczek (XRAY XB9) and 3rd place Darek Stefanowicz.
Overall it was really good weekend for me, the weather was good, I met all my friends again, my cars was good, my mechanic Adam showed me that he is the best mechanic (at the same position as my father)⦠everything was good!
