Q: As winter means Indoor season and lots of 1/12 scale racing, I imagine you must enjoy it now ?

Mark Green winter-change to 1/12 (25/01/2009)

Mark Green (Serpent works-driver), as many other 1/8 scale racers, do the 1/12 scale racing in winter, to keep in rc shape.
Great way to keep the reaction-speeds.
Mark Green entered for the 12th class in the Carpet-Wars series. The mod class would be nice too, but needs better contacts in the battery-motor field ;)

Northeast Grand Slam Race # 3 at 360 Speedway
Friday I arrived to the track and it was the first time I had been to 360. Let me tell you this was one of the nicest carpet tracks I have ever been to. Very bright, clean, and had all the things you'd expect in a carpet track.
I got to run my 120 a few times during the day in open practice and right away it was one of the fastest cars there. It needed a few adjustments to take away some steering as the 360 track had a lot of traction. I decided to go to heavier dampening in the center dampener from 1000 to 2000 cst. This calmed the car down...
