I'm gonna try to make it out there for Bomber on Friday, and maybe drive the 12th around the track a few times.

Just a plain old 12th scaler, not crazy modified or anything like that. I'd never do that... :p

Batteries discharged, packed up and everybody look out! Bumper car driving is a comin.

Heck yah!! Super fun. TRIFECTA. Although it was only a third place finish in 1/12, I was able to snatch the crown from Marty, and losing second place to the Dr. by 4 tenths on the last lap is winning enough for me! Thanks, that was great racing. Dave, you got 3rd, 28 laps @ 6m10.29 , 11.863 fast, 13.225 average. Tom and I got 30.

Those who weren't there missed the debut of the Mamba-powered pan car, and yes, it was stupid fast on 6 cells. Little 900mAh'es only run it for 5 minutes, though.

Even with that, I still wasn't as fast as Vicky. :freak:

MAD1

Tons-O-Fun folks. Sure was good to get back at it again. A bit rusty and in need of some tweaking. Still dragging. Change ride height....come back in and it mysteriously is dragging again. Must be a problem with the active suspension. Bench racing is in order. Congrats to Jeff on the Crown. Your car was much better looking in the Main...stupid fast?

:thumbsup: awesome night of racing congrats to BRP driver and short bus member Bill Weaver on a fantastic 3rd place finish for the season... Congratulations Patriot Glass on the big trifecta great driving , I'm certain that title will be yours for a very long time cause nobody else is willing to punish the living crap out of themselves to try and run 3 classes a night :freak: You gotta race sunday we need to see what kinda difference a wing makes... Mad 1 you gonna be there sunday? :confused:

The sheet says you didn't start gaining ground until lap 20, but then you shaved .4 to .6 per lap!
Tighten it up!

Boy, it sure is hard driving a boat on an on-road course!!

The Go-Mad has the go now but I've gotta figure out a way to strengthen the body mounts.. too much body movement in the turns. any ideas? I'm running the parma extended mounts.

fun night nonetheless!

I won't make it Sunday. The little woman has a few things she wants me to take care. No more lying around watching TV and expecting maid service. Time for pay back for the month of February.

I forgot to congratulate Mr. Weaver on his nice big shinny trophy...way to go team mate!!! Trifecta....what Trifecta. Tiny truck, bomber and Crown? That must be it.

Doesn't look like I'll make it this week. My R-1 puked its steering wheel return springs halfway thru the last heat (about the same time my back said enough was enough) and anyway I'm getting a new toy to build.

So you'll have all your transponders, and one less backmarker.

We racing tomorrow? I had to make an emergency car rebuild. I can't figure out why my car would bottom even after I raised the height. It has something to do with the side links I'm sure, but no time to figure it out. Rebuilt the old Associated....hope it runs.

I'm ready to race! My cars are, well, the same as last friday. Are the points ready? are the last few races for points?
I'm interested in an airbrush, any suggestions?

Get a good one. I've tried 3 different ones. Badger....no like. Aztec...works, but I have trouble with some paints flowing through it. Pasche...keep it real clean. The one I should have got is the Iwatas.

The air compressor is real key no matter which one you get. I was surprised at the difference. I got a little Scorpian and my Aztec started to work much better.

Thanks Mitch, got any used ones left for sale? I paint like I drive, I'll learn, then upgrade.

I guess it was a fun night. A 1 lap heat ain't all that fun, but the car is way faster than I can drive.....that's a good thing....eventually. Thanks for the body mounts Jeffrey. Just when you think you have seen it all!!! Not to mention Tom's wheel, that was wild!!

Hey Jeff, I have a Iwata Eclipse airbrush, works great, I bought it at Pat Catans for around $60, had it a few years now with no problems
They also sell small compressors at good prices
If you want to try mine out just let me know
