Hey guys, come on out to Hoosier Hobbies in Linton, IN. They have a 60' X 60' carpet on-road track. New carpet, only 3 weeks old. The track is very nice.

Here is a link to their homepage:
http://hoosierhobbiesraceway.com/

They have their own forum on their website.

They have a great owner (really cares about the racer). A decent stocked hobby shop. If he doesnt have something, tell him and he will put it in stock (most of the time). Awesome place to go race.

Right now, the biggest class is 13.5 or stock 1/12th onroad.

They race on-road on saturday nights. doors open at 10am and racing starts at 6pm.

They have 2 nice pit rooms, with good lighting.

Hope to see you soon at HOOSIER HOBBIES in Linton, IN

Did you buy a 12th scale? I bought a Gen X tonite but I probably won't be able to be there Saturday nite.

yeah, i bought a 3.2R carpet knife. (well actually i traded my tc5 for the 3.2r with servo and 4 cell gtb).

the on road track is also an Xray design, Jarman {owner} talk to the boys at Xray and told them there demnsion's of the carpet and Xray gave them the layout.. Pretty owsome!!!

Yes it is Jon. It was alot of fun to race on. Im lookin forward to this sat night so i can race on it again.

Well maybe I can do some good down there if I ever get time to go practice and enough guys still want to run TC. Are they still doing two practice nights a week? Working all the time is making me go nuts :freak:

Looking forward to running this Sat with 1/12.

I know what you mean. I havent got mine yet (maybe tomorrow :) ). But i know what i got, it is a 3.2r !!!! :)

Sounds like there will be several 1/12 scales Sat. night. We'll be there.

wheres Linton?

wheres Linton?
nevermind, got it

Looks like mine won't be here until Monday and the parts to fix my sons 12th won't be here till next week.

awwe man, that sux. well hopefully we will see you next weekend then.

Not lookin too good for next Saturday either. I have to leave the next day to Orlando for work. Hopefully I will get some practice in this week.

So is everyone pretty much going to be runnign 13.5 brushless in 12th? I am going to break down and buy a BL in the next couple of weeks and want to make sure i get the right one.

Thats what i am going to run (maybe stock). Jon and roy i think are running stock.

Stock for me right now. I think you'll be fine on a road course with a good stock against the 13.5.

Well it doesn'tlook like I'am going to make it Sat. NO CAR YET. Have fun and let me know how things went.

Sad to hear that roy. i was really looking forward to you bein there. I am pickin Jon up tomorrow though, so at least he will be there.

I just might stp in just to see how things are going

That would be cool. I will let you take my car for a few laps if you want to.

I hope to stop in for a few minutes and check things out. Wish my car or parts would have came in by now.

Hey guys cant wait to come down and check out your track....Can you guys post any picks of tonights action I would like to see the track......Also why dont you guys try 17.5 in 1/12th that is going to be the standard 17.5 w/stock according to ROAR...just a suggestion anyway....Glad to see another track running on-road in Indiana....

How big are your turnouts for 1/12th and 1/10th???

yeah, i bought a 3.2R carpet knife. (well actually i traded my tc5 for the 3.2r with servo and 4 cell gtb).

....You parted w/the TC5:cry:sounds like 1/10th isnt goin good down in Linton either....I have a 3.2 I will be looking to sale or possible trade....

:woohoo: I got my Gen-X in the mail toinite. Couldn't believe all the stuff I got with it. I hope to give it a try tomorrow night if I get it ready by then. For you guys who have ran down there what is a good gear ratio to start out with? Soemthing to get me inthe ball park with a 13.5 brushless.

Thanks,

Bob

you guys run on tuesday nights to......any of you guys gonna come run at Indy slots this wens......I know its far for some of ya...:wave:

hey how far are you guys from kalamazoo MI thougt a few guys would come on down.

Tuesday and Thursday nights both tracks are open for practice. Usually only a couple guys running. Litnon is in the SW part of the state. Kind of in the middle between Terre Haute, Bloomington, and Vincenness.

hey how far are you guys from kalamazoo MI thougt a few guys would come on down.

Summit Raceway in Ft.Wayne,In would probably be the shortest trip for ya guys.....Tuesdays and sundays...1/12th and 1/10th on-road they have a pretty big 1/12th following....But hey if you guys want to come down come on down the more the better:wave: you guys run at hobby sports or CEFX

we run at hobby-sports CEFX are there motels in the area?

Hey crptracer, i think me and throttleking are going to come up wednesday night for some 1/12th action at the slots.

we run at hobby-sports CEFX are there motels in the area?


Yes there is a hotel in linton...Not sure of where or how far from the track...If you go to mapquest it will give you the option of finding a motel near by.......I am not from Linton...I am 1.5 hours away myself....hope that helps:wave:

Hey guys, had a blast in 1/12th tonight. I ran pretty good all night. Qualled 4th and finished 2nd in the main. Jon had some problems with his transponder in the heats (wasnt counting). He finished 4th in the main.

Jeramiah also had problems all night, sorry man. Didnt fair too well. Dont worry man, you will be fast next weekend!!!

Hats off to ERIC, you are a heck of a driver. It was nice running with all of you tonight.

Cant wait for two weeks to go by, so i can be down there again for hopefully another good day of racing. :)

I ran 1/12 scale last night and LOVED IT. Wasn't the fasted but has a ball.:woohoo:

Well, maybe one more guy in a few weeks. Bought a T-Fource roller from Jarman when I was down there today. Nice looking rig. I have a motor and ESC for it - just got to put er together (and figure out how these things work).

If you need any help on a baseline setup let me or perkins know. we are really starting to get the hang of this onroad stuff. i love the 1/12th.

Cool. I was able to download the manual for it, so starting to study tonight. The center shock came with, but is not installed. Apparently with some setups you don't need it. Hopefully I'll be able to get down Saturday and pick up some info. Wasn't able to stay long today, but did watch some awesome dirt racing - stayed for mod buggy and stock truck.

I't be interested in a body if someone is selling an old one in decent shape.

What are you lookin to buy?

As far as the center shock goes, you need it no matter what. i would run a gold spring to start with. i run 80wt in the center some will tell you different.

I't be interested in a body if someone is selling an old one in decent shape.Jarman I think has a new one in stock and also I think Joe's has some also in the back if you can find it..

Basically I'm looking for anything that will fit on the T-Fource and is already painted. I figure I'll put an old one on to start, then paint up a nice one when I have the time and can get around the track without hitting too much. Just a used one that somebody doesn't need or is kicking around the shop would be fine.

Can't help you on a body Joe. If your at the barn you can ask Jon Buck Or Joe if any of those old used bodies he's got are for a 1/12 scale. at one time he had a bunch of used bodies he was wanting to get rid of and probably still has them in the back or upstairs.Won't hurt to ask if your in there. Also I'am trying to get the guys from the barn to run thier legends on the road course on the 15th. Seems like some want to do it.

Got back from Florida today. Ready to try this 1/12th stuff out next week. Hpe to be able to get out to work on setups Thursday night. What tire compound are you all running?

Bob

I'am running greys on the rear and purples on the front. They seem to work Ok. I would like to try whites on the rear blues on the front and see how that works.

Couple of us came out last night to check out the place. Nice track, might try to make it out in a couple of weeks. Need to pick up a car. I have not ran 12th in 4 years or so.

we will be glad to to have you there.
