Yeah, well not all of us can be Walter.
Yeah I know....

I have some Reedy motors and some Reedy based, never paid attention to winding though. I will have to look.

Very true, BUT everything Walt has is genuine Reedy and not third party.

Walter,
What are most of your arms? Hemi or Mabuchi? Would a 10 turn Mabuchi be faster/more powerful than a Hemi wound 10? Just curious.


Everything I have is hemi except for the 19 turn stuff. A hemi should be faster, but not by alot. Walter

Thanks guys for the info! Now I need to take a look at my motors. So if the C1 and C2 are Hemi's, that would be another reason why they would be illegal not just because of the lay down brush hoods.

VB

Yes your right ball blazer... The C1, C2, and virtualy all the motors that have come to be known as 19 turn 'spec' motors are hemi wound and therefore would be illegal for ROAR's 19 turn oval class, unless ROAR specificly leaves off the refferance they currently have that specifiys a Mabuchi wind.

Hey Nick,

I am going to try and come race with the real racers Friday instead of the sissy road course guys. I am running 1/12th at the Snowbirds and was wondering if you thought I could run my 1/12th scale car in Mod or 19t...........Some of the guys are old enough (Racknor and Deano) that we can just tell them "The subject is closer than it appears".

What do you think?

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ted

Happy Holidays Too All!!!


Ted, I would think we could put you in somewhere. Frank has been wanting to run mod. You should think about 1/10 th 19 turn though. That class has been getting very big and very close racing!


Also if anyone is interested in a 3 month old M-8 let me know...


Walter

I don't know about 19turn, I am bringing in a special guest from Virginia to run 19turn. His main function is to yell at Deano and Racknor, so we have to have them in the same heat along with you and Jamie. That will provide the rest of us some really good entertainment!!!!!!!!!

I guess I should go find my 1/10th scale car, haven't seen it since the Nationals. Actually I might have left it there, I didn't want that evil thing in my house.

See ya Friday.

Ted

Ya we heard you were importing a ringer--LOL

Ted,

ANy other racing plans for the weekend? At the track in Fort Wayne we are having a half off trophy race on Sunday and a club race that sat night. I knwo some of the guys form MI came down the weekend of Thanksgiving and had a blast. Kacknor and Deano said soemthing about coming down and I think some others are going to too. Anyways I am going to drive to Lansing again on friday and back to Fort Wayne like I did last week so i will see you at the track. This roundy round stuff is too much fun.

Brian

What time is the track going to be open on friday?
Also are people going to be able to practice on Thursday?

I know there's a few people that need some track time that might show up.

No, Dave, we won't be open on Thursday. We will open at 2pm on Friday. The usual program, racing at 7pm.

We are only three weeks away from the Snowbirds warm-up. Starting this week, we will be running the Snowbirds style ice. We should be within a couple of feet the the Snowbirds runline.

See everyone on Friday.

So what are you saying Dave???? :cool:

So what are you saying Dave???? :cool:
Hmmmmmmmm.

Well... my daughter should be born by the 16th... Right now they are telling us they will do a C-section on the 13th or 14th, since the baby was breech at yesterday's Dr. Apointment... If my wife stays true to her word.... I hope to be back racing in time for the Snowbird warm up race... Then again... I don't know... new father on Wendsday.... off racing on Friday... We'll see.... If nothing else I'll come up and visit that weekend.

Congratulations in advance Glenn,
Hope you can make it.

Glenn,
Hope everything goes ok for you and your wife. After seeing my brother in laws reaction when my nephew was born...... we'll see you in Feb as you will be to excited to go racing!


My Bro-inlaw even turned down beer!

jan 2 2004
the first oval race for the year
and 28 shopping days left

Thanks Dave....

Yeah Jake, I hear you... I figure I'll either not want to go because I want to play with the baby, or I'll not want to go because it's only been a day or two since wife and baby got home from hospital, or... well I figure it'll be pretty hard to predict just how things will go.... I guess my plan is to have my RC stuff ready to go, and then decide what I really want to do on the 16th and/or 17th... I am pretty sure I'll at least come up and say hay to you all.

Here I sit at work wishing I was at the race track. I am not sure if I will be there Friday or not. I have to work till 7 again. If I make it I guess I will see you all there. If not, have fun.

Congratulations Glen, I trust mother and baby are doing well. What did you have? Greg

Smitty, you misunderstand... The baby is not yet born... We are at 37 weeks, expecting a C-Section delivery around the 13th of January... Baby is a Girl based on all testing...

I'm trying to figure out if I can make it to the Snowbirds Warm up race on the 16th... :) Smitty.... What do you think? Will I be able to go racing 2 days after birth, without getting a divorce, or having my Mother-in-law hit me up side the head? (now that I put it that way... I don't think I'll be there on the 16th... )

does anyone want to run 1/12 oval

Please, please, I need to run 1/12th oval. That is what I am running at the "Birds". I assume you mean at the "Warm Up Race"

Ted

Anyone Else For 1/12 Oval
Lets Here From You So We
Can Plan A Class

Dean-o....... I see you lurking. By the way, did you remember to turn the coffee pot off last week?

Oh, yeah I forgot to say....

"IHAUL" You should change your name to "ISUCK"...... LoL....... :devil:

Can I run a Arcornite arm in a P-94 can for 19t truck? No big deal if it's not legal. I'll pony up for a legal motor if I have to. Just tryin' to save a buck or two!
What time do the doors open on Friday? This will be my first time coming to the hub. Be gentle.
Scott N

Scott, as for motor Legality I think the combo is illegal at our track. I think Nick is trying to keep the trucks with a fixed timing motor. I'll let him jump in and clarify that fact for you. 19T Truck and Stock Truck are both very popular at the hub, they are our two biggest classes by far!

Just make sure that you bring Jonny B. from the hobby shop with you as Legends are very popular as well!!!! :thumbsup:

It's looking more and more like I'm not going to make it for the Birds warmup race weekend... more i hear about the C-section deal, my wife is likely to be in the hospital untill Friday... and my better judgement tells me I had better not run off and be gone all day on Saturday... I still may come up and say hello to eveyone.

Oh, yeah I forgot to say....

"IHAUL" You should change your name to "ISUCK"...... LoL....... :devil:
OK
you do ! so what ?
now everyone knows
:wave: :jest:

OK
you do ! so what ?
now everyone knows
LoL..... Just messing with you Jon. :p And you are right..... ISUCK at roadcourse. :devil:

Hey, so whos comming Friday?

The 19 turn truck class should be very big this week!!! Lookout Bill

Very cool Glenn!!! Congrats. And I will be there.....I am always there...... :p

Was there a Snobird Warmup Race at your track last weekend? If so could you post the results.
Thanks!

Well, due to a unscheduled vist to the Dr. and the fact that we've gotten about 4 inchs of snow in the past 2 hours... I'm not going to come to Lansing tonight...

I hope any of you that do go have fun... but be carefull if the roads are as bad up there as they are down here...

just to let you all know theres
a new truck in someones pits
looks like another 19 t rocket

yipeee fridaaaaay

Does the Hub hold races year round? I want to start running in another class but I'll wait if I can't race indoors this summer.
thanks,
Scott

www.hobbyhubraceway.com is updated......

ok so this weekend will be last last race for at least 5 months because of work. ANyone have a job for me? SO to go out with some fun I plan on running stock? ANyone up for it?

I'l be there, George said he would come down too. :devil:

Last race for 5 months? You deffintely need a new job Jamie.


I'm planning on being there Friday... I'll run stock if I have to... but would still rather run 19 turn.

Don't worry Glenn, I am sure there will be a 19T class.

...maybe nobody heard me a few posts ago: :roll:

DOES THE HOBBY HUB RUN RACES ALL YEAR LONG?

Sorry Scott, I missed it. No, we do not run indoors all year. There is usually a couple of races w/ touring cars outside or offroad but not much oval. I know some of the guys used to run on a 1/4 scale banked oval over the summer.

I was wondering if there would be any others interested in trying to run the Bolink Sprint cars at the Hub :confused:

Talk to Kevin, Sam, Rick and George. I am sure there people that would run them.

from IHAUL
another class to make the nite
L o n g e r
so lets just run 3 cars in a heat
and stay until 5 am

People are welcome to leave at anytime, we do not require that people stay until there main is over. Wouldn 't want anyone up past there bedtime..... :cry:

LoL :D :thumbsup:
