Thought I would let you know about the debut run of my caster ZX1.5R GO 5port.
The weather has been so poor over the last few weeks I have not had the chance to run in the engine or setup the car properly before this weekend. Neither did I have a body shell painted for Race Day, (a quick spray can on it in the back of my van sorted that out quickly) :-) Just waiting for the return of my body which is being painted by RacePaintsUK
This Sunday just gone 6th December it was Round 3 of the Nene Valley Raceway Winter Series.
The day consisted of 3 qualifying rounds with 2 scoring rounds to count towards the Main Final.

Round 1:
I was quite anxious as this would be the first run of the car on the track.
The other racers were aware that I was driving the caster and it was all eyes on the New Car.
( let’s see how it performs ) they were thinking.
Well, The clock started and I was into the first heat.
During the first round I was getting used to the handling of the car the way it responds, what the car is doing with this setup on the track.
I was getting a good feel for the grip, steering, throttle response etc So I could make changes / adjust for the next round.
Anyway, at the end of the 5min qualifying run, the caster zx1.5r came out on top.
