Below is Billy Eastons report on Alabama Summer Slam, where the TQ-ed and won Buggy and Truggy and was close to win the E-Buggy class too.
The Alabama Summer Slam was held in Helena, Alabama at a facility known as "The Warehouse". It is maintained and run by a known racer in the US, Alan Burton. This is a small indoor track that posts up around 15 second lap times. It is small but poses new challenges compared to that of bigger tracks. With the lap times being so short, the hardest part is passing and being a defensive driver.

Sarawak, Malaysia : Serpent bags both 1/10 & 1/8 GP title.
Date: 8th January 2012.
A great way to start off 2012, as this new track was complete late 2011.
Track was one of a kind in Malaysia as it is built on top of a shopping Mall 5th floor and track surface cement with waterproofing applied.
Surface condition was tricky for all racers, and tire selection was vital.

Training
I started off with 2 different 411 cars to see which worked better as starting point.
We had 4 practise runs, run 1 with car 1, run 2 with car 2, and last 2 runs with 411 that felt best. In the 3rd run I was always in the top-3 which was excellent. Last run was worse result as I needed to run in a set of tyres and was 7th. Still good enough to start in the top-heat.
