C'mon people....lets hear some excitement! lol

Looks like this points series is going to be big with everyone getting so fired up for the breakout and/or truck class. I am just excited to be able to race again lol.

Picked up 2 C2's yesterday (all they had in besides SPeedgems) so will be ready to go for stock or 19T whichever. I need to measure the comms on the stockers though, they have been cut a few times lol.

As long as the weather holds out I will probably be up there Friday night for some practice....am going today too but only taking the oval chassis. I am probably going to stink it all up and break in every qual....yea, even the XRay can be broken lol....but I am going to have fun doing it.

Like I say every week though...apologies in advance and will do my best to stay out of the way....or ahead...bwhahahahahahaha

I am leaving the stockers at the house in protest! 19t or nothing!

Ray Ray is Silly :jest:

Got my spurs ordered last night :) Should be here by Friday. Might want to bring 1 stock with you just in case the Short's dont have a 19T yet. 2 can't make a class lol. (for them or us)

John's gonna be back too and i don't think he'll have a prob w/motor availability. I've also gat a C2 I could probably loan out if anyone needs it.

I like touring . I just need a break from all the tuning all the time and it's alot motre money to keep one up and going at race speed than it does a lefthander. May be next series .........who knows. I will never race stock touring again. I do know 19 turn or not at all

Well, I havent missed you yet Brad lol....of course I havent been out since you have been gone....but I will miss you this week lol. At least the laugh anyway lol. Stop by sometime if you arent doing anything.

I second that. The stop by sometime part ,That is.:rolleyes:

Just a little side bar. It looked like you guys had alot more fun with the 19 turns??? I bet they held up alot better too huh???

way easier to go fast w/ 19t but now I think I need a spool 'cause goin' that fast needs brakes

Did everyone give up Stock and switch to 19T or are both classes running?

Yes! they switched to19 turn. It has to be C2. It's not open 19 turn like Oval.

Just put the diff back in silly Ray Ray............ :tongue:

sorry but i'm addicted to the on power rip of the one way so it's a spool

I put a C2 in my XXX-S today. Wow! That's a fast little sucker!!

So what gearing are you running Ray?

Should be the same or one tooth higher. Even though I'm not Ray there you go

Thats what I was thinking too. But on rctech most were saying they go everywhere from 3 to 6 teeth lower?


edit: for instance I was running a 93/28 and I got a PM from a BMI driver saying to run a 87/28 and go up or down 1 from there. We geared the Monsters everywhere from 7.05 to a 7.5 and they are all saying run the C2s around a 6.1 to 6.4...... :freak:

well a 6.1 is a taller gear than a 7.05. C2 can pull more gear than a monster. If you go up on the pinion the gear will get taller.(more top end speed / wider power band)

yea, I got that but 6.1 is more than 1 tooth away from a 7.05 lol. Plus one I can run with the stock spur and the other I have to change the spur to get. Just curious as to whether I need to go ahead and change the spur out or not.

No big deal though.

I'm running a 128/33 w/ the 1.83 internal it comes out to 7.1 final but I think I need to come down a few teeth 'cause if anyone remembers after the main we did a reverse oval thing for a few laps and I was geared way higher than everyone for top speed.

Yeah but I remember them calling out atleast one very quick lap on you. If you can do one with the gearing you had you should be able to do more. Confuscious say. To go fast consistantly one must go consistantly fast.

Yeah what Butts said uuummmm yeah......... Sorry Eugene I guess we just got our signals crossed. just run the same gear (7.0 ) You don't need any help through the 180's you need to carry the speed through the sweepers where your struggling. Ray was topped out before he even got through the center of the back stretch. If I was him I would go up a tooth. Ray you where killing them around the oval because you were the only one with battery left. Tom's was dead and Johns was almost dead.

jeez a guy can't run 1 14.3 (to which I said "14.3?") and all of a sudden there's all these expectations and stuff, I can't take the pressure! C'mon dave you're goin' to ruin my sandbagging effort! ROTFLMAO!!! :roll: :lol:

Ray, Where were you lastnight? I may bring my TC3 out of retirement in the next couple of weeks . Can we play? I havent broken any parts on, uh Raced my TC3 in a quite a while. I have three C2's that should be cruise missles in the car with 6 cells pushing them. If not I'll run 8. Cells that is.

coming out last night would have involved booking a babysitter and securing a ride to and from the track. It just wasn't in the cards. I'll be there next week though and I know for sure I've worked out the every third sat thing (since the wife needs every third fri) I may waffle a little on the touring though since interest has greatly dropped recently. I'm working on getting an oval car though now that should be interesting!

Oh boy! if you had been there for oval lastnight you would've made entry number ten if you signed up for stock. Thats with several of the regulars not being there too. Several guys that havent been running tourng lately are talking about it again. Bear even ran lastnight.

Sorry I couldnt be there Ray....I was about loaded up to head to the ER when I finally started being able to breathe again. The case of strep I had has done a number on me....that and the fact that I found out I was allergic to pennicilin after I started taking it. I seriously was scared there for a little while....not being able to draw a normal breath and then totally losing your voice on top of it is not fun!

Hey, where is this track? Do you have a website with pictures?
Thanks!
Racer

Here is Hobby World's Unofficial Website (http://home.comcast.net/~shawnleary/hobbyworld/),there you can find the track info. and contact info..

Y'er preachin to the choir(brain fart I can't remember how to spell choir?) man. My mom is a nurse and she always said there are only three reasons for someone to go to the hospital/doc 1. can't stop the bleeding 2. can see the bone 3. can't wake them up. I had that same strep and it made me miss 5 days of work. On top of that I started to get dehydrated from not even drinking. Finally I ponied up and started to gargle with boiled salt water, listerine, and HYDROGINE PEROXIDE. The first two weren't that bad but the HP tasted like water and burned like acid. If I didn't have family at a doctors office (can you say free antibiotics) I'd have had to go in myself. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids so I can wup up on that x-ray this Fri. JK hope you get to feeling better.

Let a couple of hurricanes come through and nobody talks touring anymore? Wuss's,


I hope everyones ok

Has anyone got one of the cold heat soldering tool off the tv, if so how does it work?

Thanks

Had to, no one wanted to race touring it seemed. It's painful to remember but I was bad for years and never gave up. Now, well at least I'm good enought to get out of the way before adding 2 sec to someones lap time. Actually I just need some more consistant practice and I'll be way better.
