PUNK? PUNK?? PUNK???

Pretty big talk for a guy who doesn't even have headers on his SC18SC!!

You know darn well I can't wait to get some of that purty orange (or whatever color it is) paint on my wheels!

The way this week is looking we may have to settle this at the Can-Am Championships this weekend.
Smoking Maxx's at 10 paces...............BOY!

10 paces..... didn't you get your new glasses yet, GRAMPS!!!! Bumper- to-bumper push 'til you break or win, you up for that old man??

:lol:

Budda vs Gramps head to head. Yeah......I'd pay to see that.

Ya'all are killin' me! :lol: :lol:

BUDDA????? O.K. now it's PERSONAL..... :eek:

I was watching ISMA racing on TV from Sandusky, OH tonite and I realized where ZXBOY gets his inspiration for that big front wing. I also thought wouldn't it be cool to hook up a moveable roof wing to the steering servo so it would tip up when the wheels turn left like the ones I was watching do.... :rolleyes:
I didn't catch his name but the announcer said one of the drivers was from Elyria too.

Bud: If we do have a sprint car class in September, do you think it will be mod or stock guidelines? We could run Big Blocks and put alittle weight on the rear pods so they pull the front wheels off the ground coming out of the turns! :lol:

always looking for the next cool "real looking" physics.... :thumbsup:

Sprinter rules would be anything goes! :devil:

Hehehehe! The ONLY way to go! :thumbsup:

Hmmmm....let's see...how can I get that 9t 540 in there??..... :devil:

The Micro guys have built a 540 chassis conversion kit that one guy has fabricated and designed... They use the 4/5 Sub C cells (Sanyo CP-1700) in them. PMR (Pro Matched Racing has Voltage Enhanced cells)

40mph+ on stock motors???

K1M:
we have one of our sprints ready, as soon as time permits I will get some photos posted. As a reference, we used 6 AA's, full size electronics (they were laying around), sc18 tires. We will have 3 ready for the last oval race at DA Track.
How about those pix, Warbird?
Come on man, don't hold out on us!
:D

hope this works

let me know if this does not open, photos 1s thru 5s are the sprint

http://home.columbus.rr.com/warbird/

warbird: It works fine...nice lookin sprinter! this is gonna be a gas!

Bud: Hows your SC18sc comming? Is anyone else bringing one to the Sept 13th race?

Bud: So........You gonna have a sprinter for the last oval race?

To early for him to have it ready, My best guess will be on Friday the 12th :jest:

You guys better watch it...Bud has a shop full of tools and some time on his hands between filling orders. He could be building his out of Carbon Fiber or other materials and putting a whole new suspension on it for improved handling...

It doesn't take him long to sort out a car and he may lift the rule of he doesn't count at his races and lay down a whuppin' on you fellows. You will think it is Friday the 13th when he rolls out his creation and proceeds to smoke you guys.

Maybe it will be convertable to a Stadium Truck...Big honking tires that are gooved and slotted...to run on packed dirt tracks.

He did say it was anything goes on the Sprint Cars...

We know how bud loves a suprise.....just trying to get him to tip his hand abit. Actually I wouldn't be suprised if it ran on NITRO! :devil:

I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to find a NOS equivalent for Nitro cars and started using a simplified NOS injection system or a TBI NOS system. I would imagine the added weight of the system would outweigh the benefits. Not to mention, too much NOS can be pretty dangerous with exploding motors.
Dynajet cars for straightline fun?

You guys ever make a CO2 powered car for a Pinewood derby style
event, level track tethered cars with timing gates and everything.
Mechanical engineering guys did them when I was in school. They had a device that punctured both cylinders at the same time, then it was who prepared their car the best.

I worked on the sprinter, I moved it over to get at the candy jar :tongue:

I did start work on the sprinter! It will be revolutionary :eek:

It is coming along nicely :thumbsup:

How about a spy shot pic, Bud?
Sure hope we have enough sprinters for a class. I'm not so sure I could slip mine in under stock class rules! :devil:
Mine just underwent a full dose of bearings along with the Don S. rear pod brace. I added a rear axle thrust bearing too to keep it fast & smooth no matter how much those fat rear tires slam the wall. My Kydex front bumper came out pretty good, just hope it'll hold up. I also ended up bending a battery box out of lexan that also has a transponder mount built into it. CanBquick scored me some awesome numbers to finish up the body & wing. And wait til you see his ingenious body mounts!
It's really all starting to come together now......11 days left til
Da last oval race at Da Track - Sept 13th
http://pennswoods.net/~fortner/wavingflag.gif

Soon as complete I will show all. No rules in this class Just a sprinter body.

I read K1M's comment about stock class different than you did Bud...I read it as, if there aren't enough for a Sprinter class cars, then he doubts his car could be considered "stock" with all the bearings.

Also, as far as class goes, 3 from the Sugar Grove Gang and 2 from the PA racers and Bud will make it more than enough for a class...

I think the collective will needs to start soon or we will have to put paddle blades onto the wheels and pontoons...Ohio is pretty wet lately.
3 inches of water a day isn't uncommon lately...
:(

Can someone with a digital camera get some pictures of the Sprint car "line up" for us less fortunate that cannot attend?

I plan on having the digital there for the last blast.

Hey WARBIRD;

Let's talk offline sometime...
I'm going to be away this evening until sometime after 9:30 but
call me sometime. I need to chat with you...
890-1422

Thanks!

It is almost done. And it is hot, just hope it works :)

are these sprint car bodies still available for purchase?

blind@blindbatts.com

They were when I spoke to Bud last week. How many do you guys over in SoCal want?

1 is positive, but I'll have to make some calls because somebody else may want one also. It's not for me so I would just be passing it on to my bud who is in the process of making a 1/18th scale sprint car with a full tube frame chassis ;)

Add me to the list RAFster, mine's about 90% done. Just have to paint the body. Did a test session last night with the chassis and have some minor adjustments, but should be good to go.

Bud, how about a concours competition for the last race?

See ya'all at the track.

warbird and rafster are you planning on racing the sprint cars at Classic this winter? Also is this going to be a modifidy class? If it is I will build one too. It will give you guys one more back marker to pick on.

2slow00, I don't have a Sprint car body or Sprinter...
Back marker...ha! you mean you want me to be chasing you, right?

If funds allow I will race at Classic, I'll probably be working 2 part time jobs then to make ends meet if I don't find a permanent position before then. 93K more people were laid off in August according to one report I saw...

Racing at Buds on the 13th and at the Arts In The Alley F360 Challenge
fielding 3 cars at both is taking a chunk of the extra funds. I'll not be racing in October as a result.

RafSter I know what you mean about the cost. Hope you land a job soon.

2slow00,
Sugar Grove gang plans on being at classic when the rest of the BRP's are, kinda like spints at Talladega. I'm thinking of putting a couple of zero's on the bottom of the chassis so after the big one I can at least identify the proper carcass to bring home.
See ya on 13th

My car has been seen by others!!!!!

Well......
Did they laugh? :tongue: ...Did they go blind? :dude:
Lots of OHH's and Ahhh's :thumbsup:
I'm sure!

It's secret. :drunk: Hope to have some pictures up by tuesday :eek:

It's secret. :drunk: Hope to have some pictures up by tuesday :eek:

So they gonna be detail shots???? so some people can do that sincere form of flattery (copying) your design cues?

So, who has the spy shots of Bud's creation? Who's paying for the spy photos?

Christmas came early and I went to the races with a buddy tonight at Columbus Motor Speedway and saw the full sized winged Sprint Cars race. I'll have to get the photos developed this week and bring them with me. #98 or was it #99 wrecked right in front of us...sliding in turn 4 right into the wall hard. Tore the upper wing clean off and trashed the right front suspension. I didn't get the camera up quick enough to catch it on film. Would have been a cool shot.

Look out guys Bud's sprinter is realy tricked out.

Looks like Bud wants to keep all the marbles for himself...he isn't sharing pictures yet...Tomorrow? or will it be later? :jest:

Timing belt broken on my car yesterday...working on fixing it today...
one less day to get the cars dialed in...

OK here are some spy shots of my BRP spint car

Here is a view with the body off.
I use a reg SC18 chassis but cut out of carbon fiber, added side roll springs from the pro chassis and also the AA battery holder from the pro. We will see how it runs on sat :wave:

OHHHH...AAAAHHHHH!
:lol:
Nice lookin sprinter, Bud! I'm looking forward to seeing it Sat. We'll have to get lots of pix of them for webpages, etc. Have ya got a motor in there that'll pull the front wheels up? Those look like some custom SC18 wheels/tires too, huh?

K1m>> It ran great will not pull both fronts off ground but it does carry the left front pretty well. Right rear is wider and I used a rear wheel on the right front boring it out for BB.
The thing looked so neat, can't wait to race them. :thumbsup:

The Sprint Car race was everything I expected and more! We had some real scale racing action and they looked so realistic! From pulling the inside front wheel off the ground to spectacular crashes and big time power moves on the track, it was 1/18 scale oval racing at it's best!
