From what I watched of touring cars the passing style is bump and go, not at all like buggies where it is open wheeled and you HAVE to be clean or run the risk of taking yourself out.:D

That's not what I used to hear them say. I always heard it as "give em the horn"! And I don't think they were talking about using that little ring on the steering wheel either!!

That kind of stuff happens when it is needed. I think all the stuff you have been saying about him had something to do with it. He just wanted to wait until there was a good croud to prove to you he could get the job done. Way to go J-Rod.:lol:

Genuine Ozite racing carpet

For years, the Ozite brand of racing carpet has been the leader in no-fuzz, high grip carpet for model car racing. The U.S. Indoor Championships, the 1992 IFMAR Worlds in Grand Rapids and most of the ROAR Carpet Nationals have used the Ozite brand. There was a time when it was difficult to find Ozite racing carpet. However, now through a joint venture with Ozite Corporation and Calandra Racing Concepts, we are happy to offer this carpet to R/C tracks, stores and clubs who won't settle for anything but the best.

Some information about the carpet....

In general, rolls are 125' x 12'. We occassionally get "wildcard" rolls that vary in size, some shorter, some longer. Call to check current stock. A roll that size is 166.666 square yards and the price of the carpet ranges from $3.75 - $4.25 per square yard depending on quantity and ordering situation. Call for more details....

In most cases, we will have your order ready to ship within 24 hours of payment. There are times when supply is low. If we have to place a new order with the factory, their lead time is 4 - 6 weeks.

You can get any color you want, as long as its grey!

Resists fuzzing, no more destroyed axles and bearings - lower racing costs=happy racers.

Resistant to tire compounds! This is where Ozite really shines! Unique manufacturing process.

Carpet is thin, but strong. Less rolling resistance=faster cars and more battery life.

No "weave"- fibers are in random directions. Unlike weave carpet, cars do not pull left or right.

Call Calandra Racing Concepts for price and delivery information.
