Had Ladybug on the Racetrack




Had a opportunity to take "Ladybug" on the Track this past weekend at Texas World Speedway, Esc did not kick in once. Seemed to push a little in tight turns. 2.8 Mile road course

I purposely got it outta shape the other day when it rained and the ESC kicked in and applied the brakes to the opposite wheel from the sliding one. It worked.
