John are you talking about the Luanne stuff or the sheet metal not holding up?? The wife of one of the civil engineers I work with works at a sheet metal stamping place and he said that he would ask her if they had any 24ga. sheet metal they would sell us or any scrap that they could give us. I figured that about 40' would be enough if it came off of an 8' wide roll.

Yeah but at least we know that "Bigfoot" won't be racing with us to have to worry about that, plus there won't be any prototype Losi cars out there either, unless I runn my XXX-4:eek:

I'm talking about the Luanne material. It doesn't hold up to the foot traffic and moving the jumps around. My choice would be the sheet metal!

I wondered about that part. Just how light can we go with these. I'm sure racing traffic won't be a problem. Sheet metal should hold up pretty good. I'm curious how it does with the Marshal/free-range children test....

MASONITE!!!!!!!!! masonite is what we used on skateboard ramps it is totally smooth durable and very pliable if it works for skateboard ramps it will definitely work for your jumps. Even though running a dirt car on carpet is blasphemy just thought I would throw that out there. As far as my green chair cool,anything for the club I will just pick it up the next time I am out that way. c-ya.

Steven had mexican food for lunch that day, and I think he went for seconds on the refried beans!!! You might consider having it dry cleaned or maybe even replace it entirely!!!!!!!!!!

Oh That, I have a copy of that. As much as I hate to, I'll have to leave that as it is. Its that being tied down factor that presents the problem if you know what I mean. Gone all the time.

Ken, Why werent u at the mars race?

psycho02
08-25-2002, 09:24 PM
I could'nt go to the mars race because where i work there are 3 of us that are in the department me, one guy that is the boss and the other guy. well the other guy that is not the boss his wife went into labor on friday so I had to take his on-call hours for the weekend because heaven for bid the boss might have to work if he would of taken it. So I am basically screwed for the series now which sucks because I believe I was still in the top 3 in stock buggy with a good chance of winning the series with a good day at vicksburg. Oh well, I will probably not go to the fifth race now because if I can't win the series what is the point. I know that I can win the individual races because I have done it a couple of times now. So as far as mars is concerned it is all about next year for me now. Right now I am more or less getting geared up for indoors and considering running 12th scale at cleveland but that is still up in the air. And I saw some stuff on here about the carpet racing league I am very intersted in that and looking forward to that.

Wow, that was different. Lazer was a blast, with there unique set up, long and narrow lanes it takes some getting use to. I love that car ramp, what a kewl deal that is. For the nitro guys, that hard charging driving stile don't work there. Its all about rhythm and smooth driving lines, slower is faster at Lazer. I'm glad I went.
