| I am teaching and unable to attend, so not I.
If Bruce is going, I may see if he'll bring Victor to the field for battling. |

| Wow Sandy that first one looks real. That might be the best of all the Tamiya Centurion pics I've seen on any forum. You should post those on the club thread on Hobby Squawk. I'm going to post a whole bunch there. It was so good to get some different tanks to picture today. Those battles were so much fun despite the various screw ups. So many places on the field to go now. I was still feeling good so grabbed another 3 barrow loads and finished that raising of the elevation towards the water tank. Supposed to rain on Monday and Tuesday so will help bed in all the soil we put down today so I will come out Wednesday Morning and get another half dozen loads over to touch up the new stuff and start working on cleaning up the old hill that shrank by the church townsite  |

| Great day today. Martin, you are a wheelbarrowing beast!  . Feel free to post any of the Centurion pics on the other site. Nice to get real low on the pics for a more realistic perspective. Cheers |

| So to answer your question, maybe 15 seconds or so? Hard to say though...time goes slow when you’re having an ‘oh shit’ moment |

| Rare to see that as you normally don't get catastrophic blowouts with modern tires. Normally they deflate slow enough you can stop before it gets to that. Did you damage the rim? |

| The tire was almost to the wear bars and probably under inflated...I hit a pot hole a few klicks prior to the blow out so that may have been the trigger.
Ya the rim is toast as cosmetically it is beyond repair. Probably enough area for a decent seal at the bead but wouldn’t trust it. |
