I'll run with ya Ray. I actually was planning on running the TC3 tommorow night but the weather looks like poop now. I assembled a couple six cells out of the three four cells I broke down from the the original two six cell packs I bought used from Dave P. Got that?

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.
I didn't have to run Oval. let me say this first. Ray you have came along way over the past year and yes you are no longer a moving chicane. with that being said when i started running touring cars there were alot of fast drivers running Todd, Aaron, Bear, Earl, myself and rook then there were a few guys just a few seconds back Dave K, John Hart well you have seen what has happened. alot of the fast guys quit racing which left it down to me and Bear. We had almost 2 laps on everybody so what it became was boring. I can't speak for Bear but I didn't like it. Right now there is just a big gap in drivers keep practicing buddy.

Right ummmmm yeah..... I don't know what happened to this class but we need to fill it back up . Touring is a very cool class I may need to get another one hhhuuummmmm....................................... ..Here I come. Can you say X-RAY

Okay maybe I misspoke and I don't have to. I've always raced the same way, let everyone get out in front and chase them down one by one. But that only works if there's someone in front. With the fastest drivers gone to another class that puts me at or near the front and I always get complacent there. Also I've always been interested in running oval but didn't want to get the equipment. With the dwindling interest in touring now just seems a good time to switch horses, especially with the stream being so shallow. Don't get me wrong, the Shorts, Hart, Chris and Gino and most everyone I've ever raced against has given me reason to try harder at the races. But in order to get to my peak in touring it'll take more practice than I have time for and the maintenance time required to keep a touring car running right is more than my lazy butt is willing to do right now. Oval cars just seem simpler and I know that the tuning and driving rythm(sp?) is easier.

come on ray, ray go fast turn left. it's fun wwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

I want to run touring again. Not in place of oval but just something different. I can only run one class a night/day due to my current charger situation but I need to get some use outta my TC3 before it just becomes a giant expensive dust magnet.

when does the track run the nitro touring cars

when does the track run the nitro touring cars
We currently do not have a race day for nitro. We race at night and there are houses close to the track and the nitro's are a disturbance so we are not allowed to run said class. We had a Sun. day race scheduled once a month for nitro and all other classes but it stopped due to lack of entries.SORRY :(

if anyone is interested I'm selling a g+ with spares and hopups. blackbelt, oneway, aluminum screws and pivots, graphite towers. PM if interested.

Ray, Welcome to the darkside. Dont worry I'm not your father.

Hmmm?

Hmmm?
Not to much to chit chat when there were only 3 cars in touring last night :drunk: .

Hmmm?

So how are the 19T's working out? What gearing are you guys running/ran?
Ray? Steve? Mike? Mike?

Sorry Gino but i've rolled out of touring for a while. It weas getting hard to get enough racrs to put together a class so I'v become a left turn only guy. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of racers in that category.

May be if we made a new road course touring will come back????????

There are only three guys running touring as you know it, but there is another touring class with 5-6 guys and a kid. Spec 21t motor, 4c spec battery packs, spec tires, same chassis, it was here long before the Trinity's touring spec. We run Bolink Legends..... :jest:

OBTW my brushless system is in my losi now, so if I can run it with stock or 19t touring let me know. I'll run touring hehehehe

Touring legends would be fun to watch! I still have the L3 so I can run left turn only but the XRay has to be put to use lol. Run it Eugene! Doesnt matter to me.....heck not like I ever cared about winning anyway...or had a chance lol. I just really miss racing out there and am trying to get back regularly.

Where Are All The Touring Guys At???????????????????????

Ray check pm'

They went to oval racing, but you still have the Legend guys & girl touring around

May be if we made a new road course touring will come back????????
Do not change that course I got to run Tom Marlows car on it for the first time and that layout is alot of fun it has it all highspeed turns low speed turns and cool sweepers. it is just a very cool track.

After this weekends state race I will be selling my Corally Assassin. It was just upgraded to the new mid motor version and this weekend will be the first time it's been run.I'll also be stripping down my 1/10th pan car- Novak speed control, servo, reciever, batteries,and tires. "All For Sale Cheap".

What kind of Novak???

anybody thats got a nitro touring car brush off the dust get it ready for this saturday .there is going to be track change for nitro touring and racing . i'm counting on 6 of my freinds to be there . so break out the nitros

Changing the track?

What track change?

yep changing the enfeild for the nitros so it want be so tight i heard that they are going to run electric after nitros but i'm not 100% sure they are going to run electric

Hey Bubba who are you???? and the infield section of the track isn't tight. charlie Brown and jeff Keaton were out there running there nitro tc3 just fine.

So what section will be changed?

Dave Puliafico

i have talked to jeff and this is what he told me that they was changing the track layout early saturday morning and racing after that and they have to be done by 6 and i'm a dude that is trying to get more racers besides us

So will the layout be changed back for electric? We have a point series still going on...we have two electric classes using the road course...tour sedan & legends...we usually change the layout after points series are over....

i dont know

I just fired up my nitro tc3 after sitting on the shelf for six months and it still works...hmm I might just try racing nitro touring with you guys..

I guess we all will have to work it out tomorrow...

if you want to keep that layout let him know tomorrow i'm sure he dont know that there is a point series going on .but change could be good

Eugene I am looking for a touring ride. hint hint.

the track right now is set up just about the only way it can be. this is why, the oval needs to remain intact. no openings can be on the back straight. also the little oval must stay. so the options are really limited. the lanes are 10 ft and 8ft in tightest area. I think all that really needs to be done is just put the pipes back where they belong. the pvc pipes move an awful lot.

Do you mean this LOSI?

I couldn't race it on by NASTRUCK....didn't want to run breakout...so its in the losi...brushless touring...do you think it will keep up with the nitros...I know it will out last the nitros because they will break, flame out, run out of fuel and cannot start again...just yanking your chain BubbaH....don't be offended. :p

i aint scared

OOOOOOOKKKKKKKKK . lets recap. Hey lets get the nitro guys out racing.. Cool we worked it out they can race.......ummmmmm hey WTF happen to the lay out. they changed it . Wow if I was racing the road course in the middle of a series I believe that would piss me off. I agree with Dave I think the lanes are way wide enough. If you can't get your Nitro through there then maybe you should drive something that can handle a little better .....like ELEC. Touring car :jest: B

Good run Nitro guys...it was a blast to watch you all run. That 15 minute main rolling starts, pit stops, cars wrecking, running out of fuel...it was almost like the real thing...Congrats to Charlie Brown TQ & Win....but we know better right Bubba...fix the leak...I am seriously thinking about racing with you guys...hmm you think a new motor is on the way....

I've got gas! Well kind of anyway, I have a nitro TC3 I could play with too. Nice thing about nitro racing is never having to wait for your batteries to peak.

and you don't always have to have the fastest car. just one that doesn't flame out.

Yea, sometimes I kinda miss trading my RS4 for another TC3....oh well, I still have the XXX-NT.....not like it matters lol.

I May Come Back For A Few Races Tring To Work Out Something For A S-losi.

thanks fellas for letting us run on your track.i have to get a new fuel tank somebody hit me and craked it about a inch long. gas went strait threw the tank and on the ground and tires it wanted to do donuts so bad. cant wait to run again . so get your nitros out and get them ready for next month.

No....now its our (electric & nitro) track. Image when the word gets out that there is a permanent on-road electric/nitro track in NE Florida...maybe the t-maxx type guys might brush off the dust on their and come out....

Hey Butts (tm) you serious about running that nitro TC3....I have a RTR nitro tc3 and want to give it a shot with the big boys... :p

the nirto guys did a good gjob of changing the track without changing it to much. and I think it was pretty cool that the layout the came up with had alot of speed and breaking points.
