I hope the power stays on for this event. I hope the turnout is a good one also. You are competing with two other races that weekend. One being the BRL event in IOWA and the 2nd the Brushless invitational race at Maximus.
I can not attend any of them because of work that weekend..
I wish you guys the best though.

...I read where the power got turned off at the last try...

Does anyone have a GENERATOR? Bring one - if the power goes off - flip the circuit breaker off and back feed the generator into the wall sockets...

I am in for 13.5. Who else is in for 13.5? Lowering the price to $20 for this race is a good deal. Can't wait!!!

another note, by a majority vote we wanted to switch to the murdock spec packs for this race in the nastruck class. and the rest of the year, or the rest of time for that matter !! ill be doing my best to get about 20 of these packs at the shop by mid-end of next week. i ran em tonight and they are nice. no run time issues. all i did was cycle mine 2 times at home and i ran em tonight. i will keep everyone posted day by day on updates. but the order almost has to go in on monday for it to work. rich lohr is from ohio and he said hed get his friday at the track and thats plenty of time for him, so i dont want to hear local guys saying they dont have enough time !!!! im guessing most guys would want to have like 3-4 of these each ? they are 25 bucks each. if anyone wants more, please let me know and ill get more later, this initial order is just to get things moving for mext weekend. so please do not go there and suck em all up as soon as you see they are there, ill get more if the shop runs out !!

How many truck regulars are there? If everybody gets 3-4 then 20 will go quick.

it would just be very bad to run out the first weekend after the change. it is a big decision to switch so availability will be crucial. IMO.

no just woke up. Now i will be up all night. I don't even run truck so it doesnt really matter to me but i dont think the extras will go to waste. JW will probably buy 7-8 packs. haha

it does look like a fun class. I have the car but just can't see buying another esc for only this class. Are you allowed to run the pro 10.5 in spec nastruck?

if the track gets em in time, we will switch for next week. you do not have to worry about getting em, im getting a load in at the shop. it all matters if they get delivered by friday or not. if ya want, i can have jw pick you up a few and even cycle em for ya so they are ready to go when you get there saturday morning.

Can I trade in the three spec packs I just bought? Only kidding, A week ago we were sticking with spec packs, now we are changing, think it is a mistake, but I can go with the flow. I looked at them on Murdocks site and it looks as if they are wrapped, are you going to allow the wrap to be removed so you can put them in discharge trays or do you just run them the way they come? Is the price at steel city going to be $25? Thanks If you could let me know the answers to these question, I would appreciate it thanks again Randy.

briano_72
11-25-2007, 09:53 PM
no, run em like they come. just like a trinity pack. they apear to have some sort of cover over the ends, because you cannot see battery bars, its smooth on the cell ends.

penny
11-25-2007, 10:10 PM
so you are just charging them and then discharging them, you will reverse cells just like you are doing in the spec packs that is why they won't last, and I think that will happen to these also. Will like I said I will go with the rules and the batteries you voted on, but I think it is just another expense, not only in the batteries ,but the trucks will be faster and that will cause more tire wear and more crashing, just my 2 cents worth. RANDY

briano_72
11-25-2007, 10:14 PM
it was only a little faster if you read my post from last night. the trucks are the slowest class out there, a little more speed aint gonna hurt no one !! this is not a "masters" class. lmao !!!

Mike@SteelCity
11-25-2007, 10:44 PM
From discussions on the "other" thread - we are going to stick with the battery packs we already have! No worries... No last minute changes to rock the boat!

Doors open at 8am - racing starts at NOON.
4-Quals with SINGLE A-Mains...
Back to basics guys! A day full of racing... :wave:

$20 for 1st entry, $10 for every other.
If you enter by Friday, you will have track usage all weekend thru Sunday close. Oval will be set up all week for practice.

As mentioned before, the awards presented are limited to what we had from last month - we do not anticipate any power outages with the Mall!
