Dont have a digital camera. And I hate to tell you for sure we will be racing because you are an hour away. I like t-jets jl or aurora,magnet lifelike stockers ,cheap stuff with slip-ons no sillysponge.I have been trying to get something going and if I call it a test & tune I think I can get more people out,and maybe next time race for sure .I have an easy to drive track set up with 12 foot straights.

Hey Sundance, I hope you haven't forgot about my race on Sunday.

Brownie, I'm about an hour away also. I'm having a race Sunday in my basement. I'd like to come over to your place sometime and do some testing, tuning, and racing.

I have a 4' X 16' four lane oval. 12'' & 15'' radius curves.
I'll be sure and let you know when I have my next race. I'm sorry I didn't post it. There is a few guys on HT that live around me. I live about 7 miles north of the Indiana Toll Road in Michigan.

I'll be having races during the summer through the fall. I work for the Goshen Street Department and racing in the winter didn't work out with all of the snow we had. Randy.

Trying to keep cost down. We also run some other special classes on occation. Correct 2 Flat? I'll be there about 11 tomorrow

Hello,

What Sundance said covers it. Except he left out JL-AW Tuff Ones. We combine the Magna-Traction with the JL-AW Xtractions with a NASCAR late 60's or 70's body on the chassis. Box Stock is TYCO 440-X2 and Life-Like Fast Tracker chassis. Randy.
