Had the 1st test an tune Oct 11 at J&C Hobbies Raceway.
There are a few distractions in the mall. I had a nice crash couse of 1.
Its going to be a FAST track to race on. I think at one time in the day there were 20 to 30 people watchen...
Would like to thank Steve for driven 2 1/2 hrs
to play with me. THANKS!!!!
Thank You to Jim for putting Up with me
for most of the day.
Hope You thought the day was GOOD????

Tony, I got worried when I saw you had posted at 1:00 a.m. Very well behaved. Is this the kinder gentler Tony? :woohoo:

Could someone let me know is the 13.5 class truck bodies or car bodies ?? The web site is kinda unclear on this and I need to know if I need to paint up a truck body for one of my chassis.

Car bodies. You just cannot cut the back out and no wing.

OK cool then my present bodies are ready to go !!:thumbsup:

JW and I will not be there tomorrow

Practice??? Saturday is race day!!!!

ok, dumb question. What is the gearing for spec truck? or Roll out.

If I had to guess I would say 1.80 for 27t stock motor and 3.80 for 17.5. That may be way off though but should be a place to start.

I am going there for Friday practice, I am going to make sure the walls are secure on the track for you. It will be my first time back on a track in 14-16 years. Cant remember getting old. But I look at flyer inside a new tekin 411K speed controller i had purchased and never used and the flyer said 1992..... Does anyone remember the telephone speed control from Tekin??????

Ok, Now I am really lost 1.60 is the inch roll out. I never used inches. that is correct?

That is correct sir.

Practice??? Saturday is race day!!!!

That is if we have racers show up for racing. :thumbsup: Racing starts at 3:00PM, doors open at 10:00AM. plenty of practice time. I need to have a race before the memorial race, so i can brush up on the computer and the mic. :rolleyes:

Just a Question for the Oval racers.. Would Sundays Work out Better For Oval??

No not for me

No day has been good for me the past month unfortunately but Saturdays work better going forward. I am planning to be there 11/1 to run 21.5 and spec truck.

70 laps 4:01
