Here's a new thread for the tuesday night racers. Thanks for the great season last year. Anyone having questions on the rules for Speed GT they are at the raceway and are posted here http://home.comcast.net/~scottaheath/pdf/Speed_GT_2007_and_2008_Rules.pdf. Any questions on 1/12 rules see John Kissel or ask them on this thread. Thanks. :wave:

Well I just got bad news. :cry: I was just informed by my "advisor" at school that I need to take a certain class with another that I have already have scheduled this fall :drunk: . This will lead me to withdraw my entry with Team Mazdaspeed this fall on Tues nights. My apologies to my teamate Denny Anderson. I will look forward to the semester being over and will be able to make a comback shortly after classes are over in Dec.
This will open the door for me to come race 1/12 and touring Sun. with the foamies. So I'll see you guys Sundays.

David

That sucks Dave. Educations always get in the way. Good luck and get that sucker out of the way. Tuesdays will always be here. I'm stuck on a swing shift until Sept I hope. 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off nights. If this package I'm working on now turns into the huge opportunity it promises to be, I might be swing shifting for a while. I can still race half the month worse case senario. That won't help me get any faster though. Sundays will be tough for me to make, that's the only day of the week both Teresa and I have off together. So obviously I must choose my priorities very carefully. Time will tell.

This week I've sold three cars and bought two. I'm starting to become the RC car jockey Sean is.

I'm glad we have a 2007/08 thread started. Fun stuff.

Ben

So what did you swap for? And I don't want to hear what type of tires your going to use, just what type of car.

Wow, now there is two words that don't go well together, It would have to be one of them there Clydessdale for Sean to be a jockey. :p :tongue: :p

Don't fret, I sold my L4 and a pile of L3 parts and bought a sweet Gen X. Then I sold my BK2 and bought a XXX'cr and a bucket of BK2 parts. I think I could possibly put a whole BK2 together with the spare parts. If I did that and sold it, I think I could end up breaking even or +/- $20 for all those transactions. Not bad considering I feel I upgraded in two areas. The type R stays on rubber, the Gen on foam, and the CR on knobbies. Now I need work to give a poor guy a break.....

Karl - are you going to run on the rug this winter? 1/12th is going to be hot this year!Seriously Karl, this past season was really competitive. It would be an outrageous 'A' this winter if you'd run 12th too...

-Sean

Seth- are you going to run 1/12th scale this year? It's time to step up an see what ya got! If ya run a Gen-X I can get ya in the ball park before you even put the car on the track.

Brad, Ron, Cory, Karl, Lee and company, Phil, Phillip (if he isn't still occupied with being a teenager), Seth, Shane, Steve Dunn, me, Ken, Ben, John, Scott, Dave Perez, Tracey, Terry, Barb and Frank, not to mention the occasional David Lee or Chuck Lonergan sightings...that's 22, did I forget anyone?..

Sundays have become a family day, I may race every once and a while. Tuesdays are out for me as of now due to work time. I have only raced 12th one season and I had fun, the day just dosent work out for me.

That Caddy body almost fell into place. Thing fits awesome on the car. It's been the easiest body to hang out of the 30 I've done. Shape doesn't look too bad. The windshield could be laid back a little more, but I like it. Paint job is gonna be sweet too. Plan on there being a lil' pink. I might paint my 12 to match too. "Lil' pinks" I'll call them... :thumbsup:

I thought it was Fosters that did the crushing. I'm not too far gone until bottles of Zima start falling from the sky to kill me.

Where U goin.

Welcome back Ben. First chance you get stop by the raceway let us know how your trip went.

I am back and up five dress sizes. Talk about tons of food....

We were supposed to do a Western Caribbean cruise, but our buddy Dean scrapped that and we went Eastern instead. Lots of sunshine and did I mention the buffet??

After I get the yard mowed and gutters cleaned out I'll be back to myself. Looking forward to racing. Of the 3300 people on that ship, no one looked like a rc racer. I even wore my Summit shirt a couple days with no comments.

Ben

Track will remain set up for oval practice through September 11.

oh that's right the layout changed and now the front staight is the back and the back is the front :thumbsup:

I'm in need of some practice. All this work stress and travel has got me behind.

When does tuesday night racing start?

Tuesday night racing starts on September 18th. The first points nights for Tuesday racing is the first week of October.
Sunday racing begins on September 16th.
Here is a link to the September Calendar (http://home.comcast.net/~scottaheath/pdf/September2007.pdf). It should be posted on the website tonight.

This thread needs a bump.

Bodies are painted and looking great. I dorked out and painted the 12 to match the TC. I'm checking some school stuff out tomorrow. Busy plate in front of me.....

Ben

Last sunday during our oval racing we ran the mains by the new BRL rules and the guys really liked racing that way. The qualifiers were IFMAR timed and the mains were ran by number of laps. The qualifiers were 4 min. and the mains were around 5 min. when they were completed. We could do 5 or 6 min. qualifiers and run longer mains by setting the lap totals to equal longer races.

That might be fun. So we'll see what TQ is, then add 10 laps? Something along those lines. With the step up the whole club took last year, I can't wait to see how far the bar will be raised this year.

Ben
