Sunny California was this year not sunny but cloudy and cold. Anyway very nice World Championshis, one of the best I participated.
My first race was G7 OMO. 50 entries is a huge starting field. It starts to be very popular class. I qualified on 9th. place and moved to B main. No special fast but I run smooth segments with 112 - 115 laps in 4 minutes. Only on green lane some small problems (108). Final fineshed on place 14th. with 904 laps.
I run SMF chassis, Koford body, Voki 14M setup with PK 74,5 armature and tried Koford WX, WXX and B52 tires.
Second race was G27 Pro. Many hour of testing didn't help me to find extra speed. I qualified on place 12th. with 1,735. From quarters moved up from group D on 3rd. position. Semi B results seems to be easy to move, but the fight was very hard. Anyway the A semi was much more harder with 6 drivers fighting for the move up.
The main was clean with no chance to fight for podium. I run SMF chassis, Parma Phantom body, Voki 18M setup with Koford .490 arms and Skinner doughnuts self made tires on giant B52 hubs.
The last race was the G7 Pro. 40 drivers and I qualified on place 12 with 1,512 sec. From quarter D I moved up from 3rd. position to Semi B. This race was very good. I run on first place and finaly moved up from 2nd. position one lap behind Carlos. My main began with smoked motor in second minute. The motor was not fast enought and I want to keep the pace and turn down my choke to early. The rest of the race was my fight to come up and don't make more mistakes. Next motors were OK and final position 5 was satisfaction for me.
I run Koford Chasssis and body, Voki 14M setups with Pk 74,5 armatures and Skinner doughnuts tires.
