Mike Lufaso-well-I guess he used to be from Columbus in his school days.

hes in MN now???

Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. He can definitely have my spot. Only give it to him. I'd like to see him there.

He is in Maryland now............

Are you going to run stock 12th then? Your gonna be awfully bored running one class!!!

Can I pay you to build me some motors then??? hahaha!!!

Just seeeeeedan stock for me. I will build ya a momo or two........... I wouldn't want to get bored.

Your HIred!!! BTW-did i tell you i got a Demon2 on the way?? Warpspeed is sooo Coool!! Totally hooked me up. If all the hype from the drivers in Florida and SoCal are correct-this car is the bomb-even on foam tires. Not twitchy at all, but fast as can be-especially if the layout is technical. I guess Danny from Fukuyama Racing said guys who he used to beat by a lap switched to the Demon2 and are now a few seconds faster than him.

If that guy knew Paul was getting his spot Im sure he would change his mind.... :lol:

Trickyone,

Kevin Kane races with Paul every week:)

ok, so all we have to do is follow Ian to the food... sweet!


Follow me.....Hell! I'm gonna have the guys set-up right outside Timing and Scoring!!

GOOD ONE RAY!

Trickyone,

Kevin Kane races with Paul every week:)

Don't you mean he's UNFORTUNATE enough to HAVE to race with Paul every week? :D

WOW

What and Awsome turn out! over 50 entries more than the original plan!

It's gonna be a blast!

Later
Pete

Go to the first page for updates to the entry list. Not only more confirmed people-but changes in who's in what class.

Ray

Looking at the number of people, It looks like it is going to be a very long weekend. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY :) :thumbsup: :wave:

Rob.....I know that I race....errr I mean Kevin Kane races with Paul every weekend....lol

:wave:
I hope you know who this is now.

Knuclehead!

C-ya in a few weeks!

I dropped for Lufaso.

Cool....that Mod class should be something to watch.....and stock will be too. This should be a VERY good race. See you guys in few weeks.

If I am just A10 in Stock Sedan on October 26th-I am going to be doing cartwheels in the parking lot!!!
i think making the A-in Stock sedan and STock 12th is gonna as hard as Cleveland Champs or the Nats.

Ray, I think there will less than 1 lap separating the B and the D drivers. I think there will be a few A drivers who Check out with 1-2 laps ahead of the pack.

I am assuming that the track will change for the Halloween race, or are you going to try to get the Groove layed down! I think with all of the racing and practice, it shouldn't be an issue.

The Halloween race will have almost 1/2 of the people as the Indoor Champs! That is awsome.

Dave U. came over last night and we trued tires and dyno'ed some motors. He did get a preview of my paint.

C-ya in a few days.

Pete

Man......we gotta have a new layout for that big of a race.....

Every word of it's true. I saw it last night! Pete's new paint job will truly be the class of the field. Whoever ends up racing with Pete, steer clear of his car. No fender rubbing! Pete, you need to get a life. You have way too much time on your hands to spend painting a body. You need to get married again. :jest:

Dave, I did get the rest of the body cleaned up last night. It took a little time, but I think I will be ready for the final phase! :) I still need to drill hole for the body mounts. My luck I be off by an inch or two!. Anyway, it WILL be ready for the Halloween Classic, and it WILL be run.

If I dont get TQ, or get into the "A" main, I will at least "LOOK GOOD" trying!

I spoke with Aaron, Jimmy and Ray. And we were discussing the layout of the tables at the track. One concern is communicating to all of the racers to keep the tables in even rows, and to NOT turn tables.

There will be about 150 people at this race and it is going to be very important to follow the layout of where and how you can setup your tables.

I thought this would be a good place to communicate to many of the drivers.

There should be plenty of room and power if everyone follows directions.

Well,

I just finished for the night. I just need to let dry, and then back up with white, and I am DONE.

Today was bitter sweet. I did lay down a really nice effect, which I added as a last minute thought. It really turned out to be just what I was looking for. I did run into a few other snags, which I was able to correct. It added another 2 hours, but was well worth it. If I wouldn't have corrected it, I would have been really disappointed in the finished product.

Over all I'm really pleased with the paint job. I bit off a pretty big project, and learned a lot. I can tell you that my next paint job will NOT be this detailed.

Time to get some rest. Tomorrow will be spent working on my diff's in the TC3. I don't know what I am going to do for a motor yet for the Halloween race. I will most likely drop in a old motor just to make sure the car is going in the correct direction.

Catch ya later,
Pete

Usnik,

Have a great trip, will see ya in a few weeks.

Thanks! Drive safely for the next couple of weekends and try to stay out of trouble. I'll tip back a couple of sakis' for you guys.
Can you or Danny true a set of tires for me while i'm gone? I can drop them off one night this week before I leave. I won't have a whole lot of time before the Classis after I get back. :wave:

Let me know what size, and I'll be happy to have them ready for you.

Well, I finished building the TC3. I should be able to get some track time with it this weekend.

I may just take a couple of laps in practice and see how everything shakes out. Not sure if I will be running 2 classes this weekend in preparation for the Halloween Classic.

Well,

I couldn't have a new car and body and run an old motor.

Guess what I bought.

:P

A used car and body? :p

Is there going to be any practice on Thursday the 23rd? Or is the track closed?

Greg,

Doors open at 4:00 I believe (maybe 3:00) and there is a club race that evening............

Rob

Is the Gate planning any Saturday practices before the Halloween classic?

A used car and body? :p


Good Call Rich!

Is the Gate planning any Saturday practices before the Halloween classic?
I would have to say no at this time. Time is short and Aaron, Jim and I have hundreds of big and little jobs to complete to make sure this race is a success.

And much of our free time and work time is devoted to this race right now as it is. Saturday being a big day to get errands done.

Sorry,
Ray

Ray, I see that there is a race scheduled for Thrusday "Halloween warm up", Will this be open practice, or a full 3 qualifier, and 1 main run. Also, will we be running on the Halloween track layout that evening, or will it change that night?

Pete-the club race will be a full out race with 1.5 hours of open practice at beginning. The layout will be new.

Friday is the big practice day for the race. Open all day with BRP sessions throughout-then controlled PT practice in the afternnnon and evenng. PT for Personal Transponder practice. We want to weed out ALL PT issues on Friday.

Ray,

My brother Dan told me there was a post about having some more caps on the motors or speed controlers. I couldn't find the post. Is this the possiable cause of the missed laps??

any 411 would be appreciated.

Ray,
I am coming out for the Thursday night race. I am going to use that time as my practice for the Classic because I can't make it out there on Friday. Will I be missing anything real important by not being there Friday?

I honestly dont know!! I am sure it woudnt hurt. I think the people missing laps is random and all with varying equipment (i.e. KO Servo, JR servo, GM and NOvak ESC's, etc.). We are devoting a bit of our time the next two weeks on Jlap.
