Hey Eddie,
You might want to re-think anything HD for vegas. You should have enough downforce with the wings and you will want less drag on a track that big anyway. Just my thoughts though. What classes are you running out there?

Yea i know.. thats true.. i have been thinking about running the Taurus as well but we'll see... i am running stock and probably 19 turn

Yeah, I heard the Intrepid works well out there but I just dont really like that body. Your best bet would be to bring 2 or 3 different styles, if you have the wheel base on both your cars the same, it would be easy to trade them out and see which one works best. I believe in 2000 at the nats at western Rossi played around with different bodies and it made a big difference in his car.

Didn't we run pontiacs out there last time? I did run an intrepid in mod when we were there last. Greg good idea might see if Lar will paint 3-4 b4 we go :jest:

Protoform Intrepid - the body of choice for the fast guys who ran there recently

Greg ran a pontiac at the 2000 nats, just the light weight no HD. A screwed up speed control kept him out of the A. :wave:

Either way.. it was "that there one of them racin' deals".... But you were in the right place at the right time.. And it was a good race anyways. We all ran 67... which was pretty good, but i think we should be able to get 68 :thumbsup:

Great day of racing guys. That was a great main, 8 cars and we still ran a great time. Everybody is getting really fast out there. How about running some 19t when this point series is finished?

DUrsetta-6-
05-11-2003, 02:34 PM
ya i think that would be way better then stock and if everybody has 2 cars then we can run both if we wanted.

Ya 19 turn sounds good.. It will be nice to have a little more power. And hopefully we will start getting more guys by switching to fridays, so we could have a couple heats or more of each class.

THE DARKSIDE
05-11-2003, 07:16 PM
Yea, 19T could work, probably after the Las Vegas race. 2 classes in 1 night is kinda rough....ask Larry.

Stu Waterman
05-12-2003, 12:24 AM
We're looking forward to racing Fridays, but I can't figure out how we can finish before the shop closes at 9... With our current turnout it takes over 4 hours. Are we going to drop a heat, or what?

Thanks, everyone, for all your help! Chris and I are having a blast! :thumbsup:

BTW, anyone got an extra Associated RS rear nerf wing? Chris broke his this weekend :eek:

So... is "EVERYONE" going to run on friday.. cause it would be good if we could get all of our guys out so that we can set a good impression for Jim and Tim because i know that we all want the track to stay open!

Hope to see you all on Friday

HERE ARE THE NEW POINTS STANDINGS.... BECAUSE I MADE THE FINISHING INCRIMENTS FOR THE POSITIONS SMALLER... NOW INSTEAD OF THERE BEING 5 POINTS IN BETWEEN EACH FINISHER THERE IS ONLY 1 POINT IN BETWEEN. AND NOW TQ GETS 1 EXTRA POINT INSTEAD OF 5... But dont worry this doesnt change any of the current points standings and it doesnt give anyone any better advantages than anyone else.... I mainly did this to make it a little easier on me because it gets pretty complicating when the numbers get up so high.

Top 10 after 6 weeks;

Pos. Pts. Name
1.403 Brent Redlin
2.399 Eddie Belec
3.397 Eric Dimmick
4.389 Dom Ursetta
5.382 Dan Ator
6.376 Chris Waterman
7.370 Stu Waterman
8.360 Paul Ake
9.277 Al Brewer
0.272 Rick Watson

**and your two worst finishes have been dropped**
