Well I already see what the problem is..... Ken is like totally confused! He posted "fuzz on our cars" hummmmmm, I don't recall him running any CARS during the winter. And since only the cars ran on the new carpet, he must be talking about the trucks & buggies which only ran on the older ozite.

Maybe this will clear things up??

:eek: :rolleyes: :wave: :thumbsup:

Nope. Just my Vision. a very Sweet vision.

Steven... where you at?? and when you coming back here??

Well lets hope you have a good one because I am bringing out my new nitro car also.

Hi Johnny Boy!!!
Is the club racing sat night??

I'm gonna assume that after last nights game and ensuing practice, Fred must have gone to bed and can't get up. I mean he hasn't posted nothing since before the game!!!!

I'd like to say yes, but I would imagine it's pretty doubtful since the MORL race is on the following day. I can't envision people staying around to race late at night, then getting up early to drive to Lansing! But, we'll see!

umm, im at my moms. Some time tomarow i would think.

I do however know where Wally is..... He's in a state of shock due to NitroMickeys deeeeeeeep shot to right center field. Where that came from beats the snot out of me!!!!

Where was Tom Konesni this past weekend????????

I don't like sitting in the HOT sun on blacktop all day long.
Been there done that.. Lame!!!
I'am the smart one. I Know My Limits.

Noones on late!

i spoke to soon. Hiya
scott! BTW, Whos working this saturday?

John if you would recall I did run some stadium buggy last winter. Which I think you knew, I think the point you were trying to make was that I did not run any touring car last winter. Don't worry I get the point and am planning on running some touring car this winter AS WELL AS 12TH SCALE BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE MANDATORY. :eek: :thumbsup: :wave:

I think this boy needs some help, he's suffering from GS on the brain.


And did you see the new body Losi has???

if not, here it is
http://www.teamlosi.com/newprod/2002pics/Alfa_full.jpg


Did you notice it doesn't have those stupid three foot tall side windows that make your car look fruitier than the village people

The body looks pretty darn nice,
but that wing... what's up with that???

It has a larger whicker bill area for more rear traction, but you can remove it if you don't need that much downforce. I think it's a little overkill too

Yeah, that wing looks like it belongs on an oval car, or maybe even a sprint car!! Yikes!!

it looks good. I love that paint job.

Genuine Ozite racing carpet .....

i realize you guys had Ozite, but someone told me there was a backing on it or something to make it less resistant to temp changes in whatever underlayment is used, and it also "holds in " the traction compund and rubber that is laid down. Basically a new version. This could also be a load of bull, but that's what I was told. Anyway thanks guys.

I don't think there has been any changes to Ozite in recent years that I know of. I know there are several companies that make a "cheap" version that's called something different that doesn't hold up as well as the Ozite. The new stuff we just put down does hold in the traction very well, mainly because it was a nice tight weave. I do think they put a thicker backing on it than before, John if you could verify this or not since you know Frank pretty well, that does resist the weather changes and whatnot.

Hey Ya'll... don't forget the track opens at 10:00am in the morning. Be there to help lay it out or don't complain about it afterwords!!

Pete, you running tomorrow???

Cya there JOHN deere green.

Ya, what a special deal!!! So lookie, lookie... Freddie crawled out of bed after only what, five days or so???? Fred, rest up a little more, don't forget we have practice at 6:30 Monday, and a double header on Wednesday!!

I dunno. Actually I think his wife has restricted him from the use of the keyboard. She's letting him read the posts, and look at the pictures, but without a keyboard he can't say anything. And you know what they say about who wears the pants!!

I take it Pedro is not running with us tomarow?

Did anybody read where Porsche is coming out with a new SUV? It'll have a twin turbo 4.5 liter V-8 with a whopping 450 horsepower!! That's more than 50 horsepower more than the 175mph Z-06 Corvette. And it only costs $65,000.00!!! 0-60 in less than 6 seconds.

wow. Sounds like AJ's new dream Truck.

ha ha ha So what John you beat me today, but I would have thought that someone with your onroad experience compared to mine should have crushed me by a lap not a tenth of a second. Congradulations to Mr. Beebe though for hanging on for the win, congradulations to us for the top 3 all being within a half of a second of each other and also none of us FLAMED OUT!!!!!!! electric is better period.



p.s. John I will be looking for you to show up at the offroad track ready to take me on in stock buggy or modififed whichever you prefer:devil:

Yeah, the new stuff is supposed to have a rubber backing on it. It is supposed to mainly keep the carpet together and not have problems with the carpet bunching up and/or wearing through at the high use sections.

Yes, Rich you are correct to a point. The new stuff we just bought from Calandra does indeed have a type of backing on it. It's more along the line of something that's possibly sprayed on at the factory to better hold the fibers in place, and to help prevent the carpet from crunching or wrinkling up. I noticed that it was much easier to lay because it didn't strech as much as the older stuff did.

So, how'd the racing go this weekend? How'd everyone do in Lansing?

I was also wondering if as a group anyone would be interested in doing a points series this fall? I was kinda thinking of scoring like in full size racing. So many points for TQ, so many per lap for leading, so many for winning, etc. etc.

Any ideas?

I'd be up for a points series, especially in stadium, which is the only thing I'll be racing this fall and winter.:cool:
