Thanks Charles, and Sean for the awesome UF1 Series we ran at TQ Raceway these past few months. What a great group of guys to race with. I haven’t had this much fun racing in a long time! It was a blast watching everyone step up their game as the weeks went by. I think every racer who participated in the series walked away as a much better driver compared to where they started! William, I’m glad the Series ended when it did. The way you improved over the last two races of the series, we’d all be racing for second! LOL
Johnathan, it was a blast competing against you right down to the very last race! They could of tied a two foot string between our cars the entire day (the entire Series for that matter). I knew if I made one mistake you’d be by me! You’re car looked TOTALLY dialed this week end. An 11.2 lap in the last race? You’re INSANE!!! My car had to be 3 feet wide all weekend to keep you from blowing by me!!
Cuda, glad you got guilt feelings in the middle of the Series and switched to your F104 for a race or two. It let Johnathan and I sneak ahead enough at the end of the series to hold off your charge when you came back to your senses with your F103. Same goes for you Charles. Ever the F1 purist, the competitive juices got the best of you and you saw the light and switched to your always ballistic F103 for the last few races Thank Goodness you didn’t think of it earlier!LOL
Panda, this sereis is just what you need to sharpen your skills for TCS! My dad and I will be sure to have our parts order in to you when you’re at the TCS World’s in Japan this Fall. Too bad you’ll have to miss the last race of the UF1 Series in October to be there though (who says Charles doesn’t have a sneaky way of getting rid of his competition)!
I’m really looking forward to the Summer Series. My dad and I are trying to figure out what chassis and class to run. Johnathan and William, I’ll have my Exo104 ready to run with you guys in the “Realistic Class”, but we need to start practicing on asphalt right away to keep up with Charles and company (oops did I leave the cat out of the bag)? With the UF1 Series running just one race per month, I hope that everyone who races F1 can set aside the date and come out and race with us. It would be great to get a big turnout for both of the classes! This is a great bunch of racers and I’m happy to be part of the group!
