Well you've already put in half the posts on this thread. Give someone else a chance.

Anyone want to run touring car? I'm up for stock, 19T or mod.

Brian, you will speak only when spoken to! :p

I stopped by Rick's house yesterday and told him the good news. He wasn't sure when he would be able to start racing but was interested in the idea. With 3 kids all involved with school sports he is a very busy parent this time of year. I imagine the two of us will try to come up and visit sometime during the first few races.

I was fixin' on my TC just last night. My boy and I like 'em as 6-cell stock. I vote to go ahead and let the 3800's be legal at the start of the season. Many matching companys are already done with 3300's. BC

Any official word on Paragon?

Also, I thought we were running on friday nights at first? Either way...no complaints here! Look forward to seeing some of the old indy crew back in action. Anyone heard from Bad Brad McCall?

Bob,
TC3 as well,
I was already planning 3 Purples and Pink LR, guess I need to re-think that
castor 0 deg L; 2-4 deg R,
Purple Rear Springs,
White Front Springs,
60W all around (all though it seems a little thin to me)

Do you mess with camber rod location or shock mounting?

You're on the right track. My car is very modified, so stick with what you know and you'll be allright. Because of the mods on my car, what works on mine may not be good for yours. But what you have listed is right on par. BC

well for right now until I get my 05 Maverick built it will have to be 4 cell Busch or Arca whatever they ever decide to call it, with the ole T/M car.. I'm starting to get that car figured out.. The way I lo0k at it, if I call get that car going then I can get any car going.. but the ole Indycar also will be there and at times the ole mighty 10T Pendleton truck will make a rare appearance once or twice. :thumbsup:

I don't think we should wait for the guys in New Castle to post rules on a website. ;) We potential IndyCar racers need to get together and decide rules on our own. Isn't that how it kinda is now?

rules for indycar????????? those rules went out the window when the Woods indycar debuted..so the way I look at it.. 6 cell stock and run what you bring and let'r eat!!!

I saw Kenny k. He said he and Dinwiddie were bringing them as 4 cell, 19T. I'm in for the way we've been using them as 6-cell stock. Car is ready to roll. BC

This is what will scare me away from converting my 10L into an IndyCar. I'm not comfortable with this Outlaw 'anything goes' mentality. Too much money trying to keep up with the latest and greatest. I think we need to come up with a 'spec' and stick to it for the long run. I like close racing, not one or two guys lapping the field. This is why I came up with and like running Sportsman/Grand National. Just my opinion.

Don't get scared. Velo rules we've been runnin 6-cell stock forever. More of these run at the Velo than anywhere 'round here.

that's funny!!!! Last time I checked I run a indycar that's at least 10 yrs old and still can run with theses boys on carpet... ask anyone on here.. don't have to have a high tech car to run.. maybe at the velo but not stoutfield

I would buy them from a local shop and get the SMC "Top 2%" cells. Those '.com' places don't supply me with a track to race on. Of course, neither does HobbyTown USA Indy, but that is beside the point. Let's add this up using the prices from the site that Z-Main Loser supplied. (The Horizon site was more expensive and didn't provide as many options)

2 - 6 cell @ $75 = $150

In preparation for when only the 4 cell guys show up to race:
2 - 4 cell @ $50 = $100

For a absolute minimum total of $250. Probably need to do this once a season to stay competitive or to upgrade to the new standard capacity?


Grand National class:
4 - Spec stick packs @ $20 = $80

$250 does not even come close to fitting my budget for racing. $80 can and does.

My vote is to continue with the Stock motors for Indycar, 6 cell equal saddle packs, stick pack or side-by-side. I'm not going to jump right into the 3700/3800's right now. In the past we have allowed 4-cell 19t guys to run with what they had, but if they are going to run more than once a season they can get some 6 cell batteries and stock motors. While the 4 Cell Spec batteries are inexpensive, not all the cars can run them or place then on the chassis.
