This past weekend (3/11-14/2010) we attended Silver State nitro challenge, this was the first race on an American track where I used the long shocks. My car at silver state handled very well and I managed to qualify 5th in a very strong field of drivers. The track changed alot through the weekend which made tire selection the hardest part of this race. My car was very fast and easy to drive for the first 20 minutes of the main, I was able to get into 3rd place and keep up with Cavalieri and Tebo but as the race progressed my tires wore more than we thought they would and my pace dropped off. In the last 8 minutes Cody King managed to get by me and I ended up with 4th overall.
In Truggy I qualified 4th overall, again my car felt very good, up until the first fuel stop it was a close battle between Cavalieri, Tebo, Maifield and myself. I think that my car was as good or better than any of theirs unfortunately at the first fuel stop my pressure line came off my fuel tank and I was forced to pit early to put it back on and then pit again to put a zip tie on it, which put me 3 laps behind the leaders in last place. I was able to make my way through the field and back up to finish 4th overall.
I have attached my setup sheets from silver state.

Designed and tested by the Moore-speed design workshop, this is the ultimate nitro touring bodyshell!
Meant to do just one thing: perform, you won’t find a faster and more confidence-inspiring nitro racing bodyshell in shops today!
With an ultra-high downforce front splitter you will get awesome front traction, while the windscreen and roof channels direct air over the high downforce rear wing. The wing features three vertical supports to eliminate flex and lost downforce, and the rear end features aerodynamic wing struts extending to the bumper, giving you ultimate aero confidence!
The front bumper features a dual-level splitter, plus extra aero lines around the headlights for extreme front traction. Along the sides, this 200R is nearly flat for minimal drag, except for a slight door sill recess exactly where the pipe stinger needs to exit the bodyshell. Behind the rear wheels is an extended area for extra straight-line stability.
