There is nothing wrong with having a mod class. My only point was when you have 10 guys racing a class dont give them options cus then instead of running a 10 car class your running 3 classes with 3 drivers in each. How is that any fun???

PPR will be open all weekend if any want a race. Will be adding calcium and ariea tommorrow cant wait to see what difference it makes.

Ill probably run all pro open classes except a stock shortcourse and let everyone duke it out amongs themselves. That seems to be the best part of racing. But we will work on the rules for Left Turns latemodel class Id like to see a 17.5 brushless or stock and any shortcourse only tire and wheel rule.

On an unrelated matter we broke out the drag cars for the first time today at Muncie Dragway and the car I built brought home a First Place win with Jenna Pierce behind the wheel. Thats right a girl took home the win tonight in a drag race.

Sounds good for the first time out. Congrats to the builder and driver.

just got my new buggy done be there sunday looking to kick some buggy but lol

I'll be looking for you Fred......

Should be a fun day.

no ....i have not tried it yet just wanting to know if i could run both types of batterys in the li-po cut off mode

If you run a nimh while your esc is in lipo cutoff mode you will recieve poor performace from your truck because nimh's drop in voltage faster than lipos. The lipo cutoff monitors your voltage on your battery.

Did you get a Losi buggy?

New announcement: Venom is releasing it's own short course truck. This one has one really unique feature. The motor and tranny can be in the rear or mid motor. Steve, remind you of X 6, X 60, or SCX from X Factory. There is a link to the announcement on the offroad racing at Indy Slots thread on HT.

This combo might prove very interesting on our tracks. I saw some pics and it looks like it is well built and designed. Time will tell how well it works.

yes i got a losi is there any other lol

ALL KINDS OF OTHERS......FRED

C ya.

Fred,

If you got a XXX CR here is something you need to know. The EA 3 material that they used for chassis, shock towers, and arms is very brittle. It breaks too easily. Most of the guys who ran the buggy switched back to graphite chassis immediately. They switched out the other stuff as they broke it.

I drove one of these before I went to the B 4 that I did run. B 4 was better. Then went to X 6 and liked it even more. I found an X 6 for Steve and now I have another for myself.

C ya Sunday.

Im not big on venom products, but thats just me...

Cant comment on the buggy convo other than I love my B4, but Ive never drove any other kind of buggy.

Ill just shut up now... LOL

It should be interesting. I know the SCX 60 by X Factory that is being tested now is very fast and handles well; but it won't be available as a kit for a while. The mid motor design works well but Venom has a shaky rep so who knows how good it will be.

I thought I was going to be able to make it down for the race Monday but my niece has here graduation open house on Monday afternoon and evening. Gotta do the family thing or get my chops busted.

C ya soon.

Come on over and Steve or I or both of us will let you run ours. They drive a bit differently and his set up and mine are not the same. But each of us likes ours the way they are. I am still getting my buggy legs back after a long lay off. I have been running SC truck and high banked carpet oval and no buggy for a long time.

In 35+ years of racing, I have run about everything. Traxxas (when they built raceable kits and had a race team), Kyosho, Losi, Associated, and X- Factory.

Remember PPR is open today for practice or nitro racing if enough show up.

Racing tomorrow as well. Regular electric program. You can prepare for the big race at Indy Slots Offroad on Monday.......

Wow was it hot; but a great day of racing. Some of the INdy guys did not come due to getting ready for their big race tomorrow. Still had a good number of racers and some fun racing.

It is always a great race at Steve's. Glad you had a good time, sorry about the heat. Just can't get that outdoors A/C to work (LOL).

Good luck to all the PPR racers going to INdy Slots today for the Memorial Day race. Get er done........

I wanted to race yesterday, I had a family cookout to go to. Kinda sucks, this track is less than 5 minutes from my house and I haven't raced there once yet.

Im glad everyone had a great time. Its not worth doing anything unless someone else appreciates it. The only bad thing that happend yesterday was I got beat by a losi how embarising right. As for Freddy Jr. goes Im going through both of my riggs this week and next Sunday hed better run a tight ship. Oh Yeah!! bring it.

Steve,

Did you guys make it to Slots? I have the graduation party to go to and didn't try. If you are there, hope you are doing well. No matter how it goes, have fun.

I wanted to go but Kelly asked me to work.:confused:

Well he does do a lot for the existance of the track, so I understand. I think I have my buggy straightened out. I will be ready for some car wars next Sunday. I may even run both buggy and short course.

Have a great day even if it does involve working. C ya.

Where were you guys??? We had a great turnout 94 entries the rain stopped short the feartures so we paid out the top three qualifiers other than that things went really smooth

Eerybody says I hae to talk shit to you guys for not going so here it is shit shit shit and ore shit

I had to work and it sucked, it was freaking hot and humid and i was sweating so much my ass crack felt like a freaking water fall. So why dont you rub it in how much fun it was so i can remember what I was missing out on. Oh yeah buy the way glad you guys had a good time wanted to be there more than eating chicken wings and watching Clone Wars the cartoon.:cry:

Now that is a picture in my mind that I could have done without (LOL).

Weather now says some scattered rain on Saturday and great day on Sunday with temperatures more in normal range. Sounds like it could be a good PPR weekend.

Ass crack felt like a waterfall???

I was sweating real bad. swet was rolling down my back. You get the picture.

I got the picture :freak: LOL

thats enough talk about Steve's ass-crack

Cracker,

I think you are right about that one.

Sounds like it might be a good weekend for racing except maybe Friday night. But then again the weather forecast may change many times before then. Take off your hat, stick your head out of the window, if it comes back wet....it is raining; if not....it is time for racing.

Or have Steve stick his.....:wave:

Well I was trying not to go there.

Looking forward to this weekend. Hope to see you at PPR for some great racing.....

Had a great time last weekend hoping for another. Can anybody bring down Privett Jr. I'm sure going to try. Better Bring your A game I'm tired of looking at the back of your cars all through the race.

Fred Jr. isn't invincible, but he is very good.

You are going to need to cut the corners close, take the jumps smooth, and stay right on his backside.

we will be there, freddie got a old losi buggy should have it up and running 2 weeks, its a bk2

So I take it Fred Jr is no longer interested in the B4 Team car I offered him. Let me know, as I have someone else interested in it.

Remember races, Saturday nitro racing (if they show) or practice and Sunday is electric racing day. C ya.

thank you , but is there an entry fee, and from what you posted I take it we may not park and pit from our vehicle at track side.

Sorry about that. Entry fees are $15 first entry, $10 second and $5 third.

There will be some door prizes also.

You WILL BE ABLE to pit from your truck in several different places. We are keeping a lane open along the edge of the track so the fire department can drive their truck down the side and water the track if necessary. The other side of the track is a farm field and nothing will be on that side. You should be within 10 to 15 feet of the track depending on where you park.

Thanks Fred. I didn't want to sell it out from under him. I had someone offer me $25 more than I priced to him at and didn't want to sell until I knew.

Thank you sir, just wanted to know what to expect [how to pack] when we get there.
