blueracer55 03-30-2004, 08:47 AM ????KGF?????no not kgf u. i'm not dogging sarah. she is a darn good driver. and because she gives people room, and respect she gets it back. it's all about respect. i was a slow guy in the way many of times. sometimes still today. but i never wreck a guy that has a good car. y, cause u don't want ur car ruined.
being fast isn't always cool. but having the respect from other drivers is alot better.
just use ur head, and stay cool. take what people tell u, and use it.
i've seen people help u kris. u need to listen.
u ever heard the frase.(he ran out of talent)
means use ur head.
sorry for pickin on ya. next time use that head.

Krisfo 03-30-2004, 09:05 AM Karl Womack and I are gonna be switching on and off thru the summer. We are doing this so the two of us can venture out and race, or spend time with family. I think 2 race directors is an awesome idea, and that is what the facility needs. So I will be helping him with sign -ups and tech this week.... :freak:
So ttyl
Kris :jest:
Not some comments made by poster deleted .......
sharkster 03-30-2004, 03:02 PM Kris,
So you are saying that the computer missed 4 laps every time you ran?
Hmmm thats my fault for not believing the new scoring system. Sorry.
I'm not starting a war, just wanted an explaination on the discrepency. I just hate liars, and so does everyone else. If you don't have your integrity, what do you have?
And I assure you I did not take you out intentionally, Nor anyone else. I wonder how I could have taken Paul out last week, I did'nt even race.
I am not dog'n KGF. glad you are sponsored.
I will be glad to talk face to face next event that I can make it to, I'm not hiding behind a computer.
here's a thought. Next time you think I took you out, don't hide behind intentionally trying to get back at me by blocking, discuss it before the main. I'm out to have fun, not start a rivelry.
blueracer55 03-30-2004, 08:23 PM shark, dud u didn't do anything. ur alright. kris did.
kris, it's too bad u have to bring her down. she's a good driver. ur motorsport thing. i don't get it.
our race team spent a g just becoming incorperated.

$5.00 per person..........track get 10% winner gets 90%......cuz I have a feeling we are gonna be the crap out of each other.........lol
Last one running wins after 4 mins.....cool????
And we flip a coin to decide which way we run.....Phil does the coiun flip????

davidl 04-01-2004, 08:48 AM Mark R. - Is this for Saturday only or will there be oval on Sunday, too?
Mark Recio 04-01-2004, 09:27 AM David, Saturday only for us. not sure if they have anything going on on sunday.
Kris,
I've never run an L4, so I can't really say what would work. But, you could try the following:
Gold L, Blue R - 25wt
Green Center - 40wt
RF red, LF green with some type of king pin lube
RF BSR Purple or Grey, whites everywhere else.
That should get you in the ball park, of course, your mileage may vary.
Xpressman 04-01-2004, 01:57 PM David, Saturday only for us. not sure if they have anything going on on sunday.

Kris,
Here is some info on the setup I run at Summit on my L4:
Front:
Non-progressive Wolfe Grn. with medium hydra
AE 9110 hinge pins as king pins
outside and all the way down on the RF caster block
inside and middle hole on the LF Caster block
BSR Purple RF
BSR Pink LF
-2 degrees camber RF
+1.5 degrees camber LF
Inline front axles
Rear:
50 wt. Trinity oil #2 piston on stock AE shock
Silva Copper center spring
30 wt. Trinity oil in side shocks
Red LR spring
Gold RR spring
TRC Med spring steel t-bar
0-rear steer
offset pod spaced so rear is right at 8 in.and the tires are centered side to side
BSR double pink rears
Protoform HD Monte with Thunder Big Wing
Silva battery tray extender, batteries all the way back and to the left
I don't know what my LR weight is as I go strictly on feel on the track and by tire wear.I have ran this setup in 19t and mod and been very fast with it. I tried running 2 different front springs but never liked it. I felt the steering was very inconsistent. I have ran 2 reds but the chassis started to dump over. Plus for stock, I assume that si what you are running, the stiffer spring will get the car up out of the carpet and free it up some. I have never ran anything other then a spring steel t-plate. If I ran a fiberglass on it would be a .075. As for rear springs I ran the red/gold combo also to free the car up some and it made the car more responsive. But most of the time I think the gold/ blue combo gives a better feel. The tire setup I stated is really on edge. I love to have my cars turn alot. For stock I would go with BSR purple RF, BSR grey or white LF, and white rears.
If you need any other help feel free to ask.

sharkster 04-01-2004, 01:59 PM Kris,
The e-mail was NOT from me....

paul

Krisfo 04-02-2004, 12:33 AM Sharkster & Paul.....I know ya all didn't send it........it from someone else......it just irks me this stuff is going on........
as the Trackmaster told me.....be careful what you say......or it will come back to bite you in the bud.........I might make an appearance saturday to help Karl......gonna take a week off from racing....
Today was spent testing up at Lagrange....aka "littl darlington"......boy was that fun......6 cell stock ......awesome......4 cell 19t awesome......4 cell stock.....ehhhh, might work......6 cell mod....WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO....so fast down the straights.........kinda tricky in the corner......
Tommorrow......Velodrome Test session............anyone know about gas sprint cars????? mainly a barts.........needs help!!!!!!!!!!
Kris
Krisfo 04-02-2004, 12:37 AM Pisano???? What has that littl twerp been up too??? Ain't heard much of him this year.....he still gots a mod motor obsession????? lol
DWBryan 04-02-2004, 12:54 AM Well Krisfo, Dont let it get to ya... You cant please em all or even 1/2 of em 1/4th of the time... or at least that is my experiance, I bust my tail and get only a bit over 1/2 of the credit for a 100% effort.
Well I have to say yuo looked pretty good out there today, smooth and missed all of the traffic.. even the BRP with foamys sliding in circles!!
I have to get my pan out and see if I can get it that hooded up. ;)
blueracer55 04-02-2004, 08:38 AM ya kris he still runs a 8x2 double, and says it has no power. bad thing is his car feels the power. brake, snap.crack. he's an alright kid just has to learn power ain't every thing. robbins is talkin about doin some oval again. i don't think the velo is goin to be real busy this year. i hope it is for gregs sake though. he's a good guy.
paul
mcastor11 04-02-2004, 11:34 AM Any updates on the DO in Ft Wayne?
looking to pick up a Enforcer when Custom Works launches the new Gearbox version.Going over to Milford Il to run the Dominator this weekend...Gonna whoop up on some T/C's I hope.....
sheath 04-02-2004, 11:15 PM Sorry this is not up sooner, but Phil told me to post that Saturday and probably Sunday (April 3 and 4), he will be out working on the outdoor oval and offroad tracks. Any volunteers are welcome and appreciated.
Corey1701 04-03-2004, 09:00 PM What is everyone gonna run on the dirt oval this year? Sprint cars? 4wd's? Just wondering what the majority of people will be running.
DWBryan 04-03-2004, 11:25 PM I dont know how often I'll get to make it down there for the dirt oval, but when I had the opertunity I was going to bring my Ele Truck STK\MOD & the Sprinter.
Anyone have a reasonably priced used .21 to sell? I just aquired a OFNA MBX 2 pro 1/8th scale that I want to get together... also need engine mts, Header & tune pipe.
Krisfo 04-04-2004, 02:46 AM Dudes...thanx for the setup advice....that might even help Corey out so we both won't be roadkill...lol
DwBryan......yeah it did look good out there...but it still pushes a littl too much....maybe track temp hadsomething to do with it......Thanx for the compliment.......*blushes* We will have to get Kevin and John Cumming out there to play when the weather gets warmer like in upper 60's and sunny , then maybe we will hook up and run faster lap times......
I think a majority of us are gonna put together some direct drive RC10's or just run gearbox stock there. I know Jason Lash is outting one together, and I will too. Trackmaster has his dominator.....and I think I heard some of the homies mentioning dusting off their intimidator 10's.........
and what is this about Robbins??? Concrete??? ashpalt??? Please give more details.......
Our test session at the velodrome was a success. After we figured out we had an evil motor that was casuing a very bad glitch.......spent about 2 hours getting the car around the track...and finally Sarah and I got about 2 runs in before we packed it up and headed to Hobbytown.........:) Next time you see Sarah.......give her a big pat on the back...she made a complete run around the Velodrome without crashing into the wall, and turned a bunch of fast laps......:)
Kris
Krisfo 04-04-2004, 02:49 AM Sheath.......Don't know if I will ber able to make it.......after playing Thursday and Friday.....I didn't get the trim around the doors and windows...so Sunday is work on house day.....but if I finish early I will come down and help.....Cool???
Kris
EMK68 04-08-2004, 04:00 PM I just looked at the results and it looks as though Dave laid the smack down
in 4 cell stock. What is the dealio on getting back to the track before the end
of April (Dusty,Mark,Monti,Dave,etc). You guys planning another trip?
Later Eric
bluelineracer 04-08-2004, 05:44 PM to be honest...there seemed to be very little interest for the carpet track last week. to be fair they were cutting the dirt oval which drew some attention, but the local racers were in very low numbers. seemed to have fair turnouts in the touring and truck classes but the pan cars were only the out of town crew. it's probably going to take an announcement from phil as to when to "take it outside"...but it's tough to drive that far and see the lack of interest for the indoor show. i know with monti and koback headed to the nats they won't be here or be very fired up to race upon their return(i'm guessing). if we could all come together on a saturday where all are available it would be cool.....btw....where have YOU been?
as far as mr. whitesel....DO NOT upset the elder statesman of our r/c racing circle. he flat layed it down saturday. i had nothing for him...couldn't even get close enough to give him a donut. van briggle was the next best car...but he lost the draft as well. hey brent, do ya think dave ran so well 'cause he didn't have to keep his "edge crew" headed in one direction? :)
we'll try to get one together if possible.....sonny,mark,dave,brent, o'mali(whoops) when do ya think???
oh yeah, saw the trop artic getting distributed from the #66 last weekend....you're not the weak link are you? it must be randy, :wave:
