T.t.t...

This is going to be the short track race of the season not to miss all classes are close barn burners and its getting more interesting by the week!!!!!!!

Count the FoamDonut in for some 12th scale action. Things are heating up in this class, can't wait for the buzzer to sound. Dave next time you have to lay on the track to see what your looking for. Did you see how much faster my car was after I took that sticker off the hood. Should have the proper fuel cells on the new body come racetime. Watch it go then.

What classes for 1/10th pan 4cell? 17.5? 13.5? 10.5? rules?

17.5 for you Baldwin

Any 10.5?

no to small for that I would say

17.5 is plenty fast and competitive for this exciting bullring!

-1/10 17.5 4600 4-cell not sure on weight think its 40oz Nascar Body
-1/12 Scale Outlaws Rules???
-1/10 Sportsman Pro, 40oz, 4200 4cell, Nascar Body, Max Rollout 1.400000, chrome can purple endbell motor
-1/10 Nastruck, 40oz, 3800 4cell, Nastruck Body Max Rollout 1.400000 or Nascar Body Max Rollout 1.2000000 and 116 or 120 spur only with either body also green machine motor w/spec brush avalable in hobby shop, no drilling, slotting or timing
-Spec S/K Mod rules?????
-1/18 Minis, stock motor battery max???

17.5 - 4200 or 4600?

I believe 4600 4cell in 17.5

I beleive there is going to be a Pro Kascar brush class (any bushing 27 turn motor and 4600 battery)

And also i beleive it is 41 oz(2lb 9 oz ) for the 17.5 class i will recheck that and make sure

I would like to suggest that we offer a Pro-Brushless class for this race.
We would use 13.5's with wing if needed. I am sure that we can get enough to make a heat or two.

You can count me in!

Tony

We'll be there, can't wait for the big race, had a blast last year.

Roll Call!!!! who's all coming the this great race and class(s) you will be running????????

sorry guys i will have to miss this years race to :(. Big boss day at work on that Saturday and there is no way out of it. I miss racing with you guys but gotta make the money. good luck to everybody.

What time does track open Saturday morning and when does racing start??? 3 quals and a main??

track opens at 7 am racing starts at 1pm sharp.

After seeing the crowd last nite , the Jeff Sears race should great race to watch.

3 heats and 1 main

Haven't been to Plattsburgh in a while, can't wait to be back for some of the most competitive racing in the Northeast!

Got a question. If I could convince some guys from Granby to come up for the JSMR with some Losi Sliders, would you run em seperate or would you run em with the other 1/18th scales?

are the sliders stock or mod. that would answer that question. the 1/18 scale is box stock motor and 1100 battery.

I know they run box stock except for the batteries, they run up to 1400mah I believe.

They run the stock rubber tires and no mods to the chassis or the body.

One Question?

Where did all those people come from? Because there was alot of people saturday night? Almost Fifty on a weekly race wow??
ALiens INc!

Most came from their mother , except you Dave . i think you were hatched or beamed downed by aleins.:cool:(the guy from MIB)

I'll be there with the truck and 1/12 scale might have a driver for it though.

WOW Bill your letting drive my old car , THANKS

Anyone wanna spill the beans on what the hot setup for tires is?:D

I still like: LF-white, RF-Gray, LR-Pearl, RR-White
BSR's

Ran there on the weekend for the first time. Great group of guys, had a blast.
P.S. I ended up in the B main (17.5) and it was the first time i can recall all 6 drivers laughing on the drivers stand during and after the race!!! Good Times!
See ya's at the JSMR!

I will be there. Running 17.5.

Anyone wanna spill the beans on what the hot setup for tires is?:D

you can also try pearls on the left front and left rear,

a 70/30 silver grey right front and a pearl/white 50/50 right rear, this also works if you need a little more bite. tommyguns suggestion and this one both work well on my car there, depending on how the track is,

temp/traffic/groove.

Looks like the 17.5 Brushless class will be the class to win with all the Top Guns in it , even a King will be there

Thanks for the tire tips guys!

Been so long since we seen you Tony almost forgot what you look like.:dude:

haha agreed :thumbsup:

Tommy man,
You are still the KIng MAn!!! I don't care what anybody says, Hands down... even the voices in my head tell me the same thing, and they are yelling at me in my sleep:)

You did tell me to switch the wires on the flux capasitor!
ALiens!

Wow some more fast racing again at Plattsburgh Saturday nite , you had to have 96 laps to make the show.

i strongly believe that this years Jeff Sears race is going to be the best one yet,here's my annual midget picks
Brushless Dave Pelkowski
Pro Sportsman Cooper Whitman
Nastruck Ben Nephew
mini's Billy Norcross
SK Jon Heard
12th Dick Jarvis
Kascar if anyone runs it Jr Barnes

I'm doing my best to get a few guys from down here to join me to attend this race. I'm really itching to get out and race. I think since August I've got out maybe three times. I have a new 1/12 scale built and fine tuning it now. What is the Runline of this track?

run line is about 88 foot

Mike, enough with the excuses. Bring your new 1/12 scale ride and get your a$$ here!!

Who knows, maybe I will make a guest appearance in 1/12 scale if you come down (that means that Dan will have to revise his predictions).

Race should be alot of fun.....PS - "bring your own weed"

later,
Tony

HUm....

Should I run 1-12th also?? Maybe we will see! I really don't feel like building motors... this brushless thing is better than slice bread, but building motors is for the birds!
