With most the TC3 touring guys switching to losi or xray you might be able to get one from the track. Just ask around

Actually Katie I think there is a girl racing Legends. Where you been anyway? Taking some time off from whooping those other touring racers?!

Me and Jason just bought two C2's each. Doooh!

Guess we'll just have to run them, they must be slower if Phil wants to change to another type of motor ;) ;)

I am selling mine for 100 bucks. Had it 3 months and it works great. Thought I would try the Losi out and ended up liking it a little better. so The TC3 is 4 sale or trade.(Oval Car)

I need a power supply. nothing special just need a 10 amp or above. Just needs to power a charger. Anyone got one I need it by fri. money a little tight this week but let me know what you got and how much and I'll see what I can do.

All rightey then. Now we're getting more current on our classes. I vote to open up the 19t class myself. I dont really think the c2 motors will be at a big disadvantage until everyone really gets all the nuances of being able to adjust the timing on an adjustable version. Plus the C2's have become almost non-available from hobby worlds major distributor. The Florida state oval series already adopted the adjustable timing rules since roar opened them up for oval classes and from my understanding the restrictions on touring car motors was just an oversight and. EEKS! 2 magnets, 4 magnets, Stand up or laydown brushes and even the new Orion revolution 19 t motor will be legal. Wow! Even the element 19T's that have been given out in the raffle lately will be legal to run. Imagine that?

I aswell as a couple of other racers are planning on jumping to 19t from stock and pro spec after the current points series is over and I only have two 19 turn motors as of now and both of them are c2's but I aint skeered. I'll run what I have or I can stick one of my c2 or C1 arms in one of my older mod cans as long as it's a trinity or epic can and according to roars rules it will be legal to run too. Just no cross breeding or morphodite motors can be run.

Well,seeing that everyone's talking about going to the 19t class w/the proposed intro of the ARCOR-type motor to HW (and seeing that I do own one of the said ARCOR Bulit motors),I'm gonna throw my Pro-Spec drivers hat back into the darkside of 4-cell 19turn starting this next point series! I WANNA PIECE OF PILGRIM'S BUTTS(tm) THIS TIME!!! MUAHAHAHAHA! :devil:

I think 19t would suck on the small oval because of the amount of racers that are moving up but we did run the small oval when it use to be on the parking pad. I think if you want to run the small oval run stock or street spec but thats just me. I am glad to see all the intrest in 19t but please make sure we dont forget about stock and pro spec. I would like to still see those classes run also I the run what you brung class for the kids. I think George and the rest of the guys are going to give us all some compation in 19t but we will see if George can get John P.that will be fun to watch as well as the rest of you guys.

cliff you got mail,

WARNING READ OUT ON YOUR OWN RISK, MAY CAUSE MENTAL DAMAGE..:thumbsup:
its just me but i think a point series that runs the small and big oval would be challanging to the all drivers on setups and their skills.. which would be cool, the small bullring makes it hard to drive away from the field because you are always in traffic, that was one thing i loved about the small bull rings. plus a invert of the top ten in the amain,,, now let the racing begin. or hey while iam still dreaming ,,lol. how about a luckdog pass,, the winner of the b main , gets the pole of the amian the following week, and the other nine cars have to race into the main, that would make the bmain more interesting also.... that way when he wins we all can throw coke cans on the track,,lol. or paint a yellow out bonds line so you want hit the pipe on the touring entrance to their track,shawn can film the race for judgement calls,, and after the drivers meeting we all can get on the driver stand and throw paper air planes during the playing of the anthem for a fly by, cewl huh??? ok ok enuff fun,, just something to think on...hee hee....

A: Sorry,I don't dance!
B: Would love to see 19t do the small oval,but as John said,it would probably suck. Try getting out of a burning building w/only ONE fire exit door open & you'll get the idea! Tempers will be very hot-if it isn't already,sometimes! (Think Bristol & you'll get the idea! Could be fun to try,though!) :)
C: "Lucky-dog Pass"= Winner of B-Main bumps-up to last start spot in A-Main. Everyone in B-Main would have to charge an extra battery-just in case!
D: There's only one person/car I'll throw Coke cans and used parts & tires at if he wins! See my last few posts for a hint! lol
OK,new hint!: He has the most 2nd place points plaques in 19t in the last 3-5 years! And still owes John Hart approx $60 for the whippage over the years! Ha!
E: I'm all for an HW fly-over! Maybe we could get Greg to fly one of the floor sample r/c planes! Balsa wood planes are cheap,too! We could go for a Blue Angels formation-thingy if ya want.
F: Don't forget about Stock & Spec! Those classes are going strong right now. Hate to see them disappear after this series. Especially w/ new drivers waiting in the wings.

Don,you got some killer ideas! Maybe we'll vote on one or all of them! lol

I'm building a second car for 19t so I will still run some Pro-Spec but just not for points. Should be fun running both.

I plan to have a second car set-up for Spec,also. Whenever KGB gets it to me! lol
Yes,rain sucks! I've heard 30% for Fri night. We'll have to see Friday.

My second car is ready. I only need to paint the body, get some tires and put in the speedo and receiver. I thought I'll have it ready for this Friday, but it will have to wait. I'll be running both pro-spec and stock.

Bradford is racing this Sunday. I am thinking about going there for some Nastruck anyone else?

Friday: Mixed clouds and sun with scattered thunderstorms. High 78F. Winds ESE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
Friday (24 hours): Scattered thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the low 60s.

The 103rd ST HW will miss the scattered thunderstorms so we can race. Just my prediction...I am no weatherman :p

Hey Tuna....... Per Bean, Billy says open @ 0800 - Race at 1400. YOU say open @ 1000 - Race at 1300. What gives here? WHO is in charge of setting Schedule ???? We that drive over two hours one way would like a FINAL decision and stick to it. That 4 hour delay almost killed me last weekend. By the time we started first qualifer we should have been starting the Mains.

Hay guyes if you know of a good laptop that is cheep please let me know. All it needs to do is run the lap countig system. I thought that I had found one but when saw it was in bad shape and the guy wanted $300.00 for it. NOT!! Looking foward to the new blood in 19t sounds like it is going to be fun.

What are the requirements for the laptop ie operating sys, memory, speed etc...and how much to spend

DEEPBLUE
04-28-2004, 10:12 PM
It is A simple program it fits on one flopy disk and needs dos to run the program because the timing will not work in windows. Price depends on the codition but around &100.00 to $300.00 bucks but it does not need A big system to run and all I need on the computer is win95.
