Toys for Tots Race 2008
Every year the Homestead race crew holds the "Toys for Tots" race for the less privileged children. I love being apart of this race to raise as many toys as possible. It is nice to see racers in a different mind frame. Putting the kids first and being a part of an awesome cause.

This weekend we had the 4th round of the Florida State Series.
I arrived on Saturday morning to find the track had been prepared very well. I decided to run both classes and looked forward to hanging with the boys.
I started practice with the 1/8 scale and felt like it was very hard to drive. I started working on the setup, but could not seem to find a balance I was happy with. The car was so nervous to drive I could not turn consistent laps. I decided to take a break and run the sedan for a tank to see what it was doing. I had my standard setup and it felt good. I parked the sedan and...

We have just completed Round 3 of the Florida State Series which was held at the awesome Kissimmee race track in the Orlando Florida area. Paolo and I made our way to the track on Friday afternoon and decided to get some practice. Paolo ran 1/8 and I ran sedan. We shared pit work and tried to get our cars ready for the weekend.
On Saturday I wanted to test the set up I ran and the Nationals, as it was different than I normally use. I ran the first 2 qualifiers and played with some minor adjustments. The car was really good, but not what I am use to. I had to change my driving style a little...

At 2nd of November we had our first German National qualifier in the 1/12 scale race season.
The race took place at the beautiful Schermbeck track, which is one of the best indoor race facilities in Europe.
In practice my car was immediately handling fine. The car was a little nervous and sometimes it lifted wheels, due to the mega traction at Schermbeck.
First of all I went to a harder side damping, I changed from 1400 cst to 3000 cst oil. This solved not all issues, the car was very smooth now, but still lifting wheels.
I decided to move the cells as much forward as possible and this...

Team Serpent sweeps Puerto Rico Rd 10
The 10th round was ran last weekend, with a beautiful day and not one drop of rain. Traction was good from start to finish. Juan C. "My Bad" Rodriguez took TQ and won the sedan class.
The A-main was a very close one, at the beginning of the race Juan C.Rodriguez had radio trouble and lost almost 2 minutes in the pit. After coming out of the pits, it was a battle against time in order to reach the front of the pack again. Meanwhile, it was an intense battle between Mugen Team Driver Andy Baez and Serpent Team Driver Geovannie Gonzalez for the first...
