Doug,

The schedules for all of them are about the same. Check out the first page of the roll call threads for the other races to get an idea.

When we were there before they allowed jack-the-gripper,can we still use it?

oldguy,
In Bridgeville ,very close to the track, there is Holiday Inn Express & Knights Inn. The HDI is newer but IMO expensive. I have stayed at the Knights Inn and it was fine.

I have raced there for a year and still do not know the answer to this question. On a weekly basis I think it is Niftech only but when there is a big race the rule seems to get very vague. I am also curious on what the rule will be for this race.

Bob-that what was going on when we were there.Dave spoke to Mike at that time and he ok'd Jack.They were running it at the "Birds"and we were testing a chassis for that race,so we wanted to stay the same..Maybe Mike will clarify(I know he is extremely busy)the situation soon.

We can hope so. Maybe try to call the store to find out. Keep us posted if you get an answer. Thanks. Bob

I am not sure if Sonny (BRL) restricts this - but SCH is sticking to Odorless at the minimum.

Odorless is fine. It's up to the individual track.

Mike check your e-mail when you get a chance.

What all brands are considered odorless?

there is a brl race this weekend, and you guys are asking for the schedule of this one already ?? just look at any roll call thread, sonny runs the same show each race, if you have been at a brl race, you would know this. its the best show i have been too, with the most cars too !!

i will be working on hotel rates this week.

odorless compounds are jack, niftec and tq. these will be ok.

we have never ran jack there, but freddies and beaver uses it. we ran tq when the place opened, it does make the carpet kinda black pretty quick, not like paragon, but still. the main reason we use or prefer niftec is the carpet stays grey. just think of it this way, if you spend 2-3 grand on living room carpet, do you come into your house and leave your shoes on and walk all over it ??

Paragon?

Yeah what about FX2 which is odorless Paragon? I have no clue Fastman. It wasn't on the list a few posts back so I assume not.

this decision may want to be put in "STONE" very shortly

BRhodes
02-25-2008, 11:35 PM
Sounds like it is Jack, TQ, or Niftech only from Brian's earlier post. I guess that is final.

briano_72
02-25-2008, 11:38 PM
i didnt know any paragon was odorless. the main reason here is the front of the hobbyshop is pretty much a clothing store with about 20k worth of shirts and such. no one would buy em if they stunck !!

FYI got the official word form Mike.

Niftech or Jack The Gripper will be your options for traction compounds on the BRL weekend.
