What really sucks is that MP's opening date is the same day as the MARS baquet.... :cry: :cry: :cry:
Jake

Yea I know where you going to be that day HUH

MARS Banquet.... :thumbsup:
Jake

Anyone that would like a flyer mailed to them please send me your adress and I'll get one out to you right away.

Hey Kevin, you gonna make the trip up for our oval trophy race this year, kieth and the boys(a.k.a. the three wise men) always have a great time woopin' up on us, now it sounds like jamie might be comin up , hope we have a good turnout.

Later, Joel

I think the trophy races will go over pretty well, if you guys can get Scotty and the Trackside crew to come. I will get who I can from the MP area. Now that you have a website, marketing will be a little easier. :D
Jake

I know perry and I are going. We are trying to pry some of the tight wads round here to come and play

In Mt. Pleasant what clases do you guys run? Also how many show up for each class? Thanks

Originally posted by Xpressman In Mt. Pleasant what clases do you guys run? Also how many show up for each class? Thanks

6-cell pan car 3 heats
stock truck 2 heats
stock buggy (depends on interest) 1 to 2 heats
mod truck 1 heat
Legend 2-4 heats
Sprint car 1 heat
Touring Car 1 heat

Generally there are 4 to 6 in any given heat. MP is a pretty tight track, but he wants to run it in the GYM on a bigger track this year more, so we will see. Let me know if you have any other Questions.
Jake

Last night here at WWW.prostarracing.com.

We had:

6 cell stock: 2 Heats (6 cars total)
4 cell stock: 3 Heats (15 cars total)
Stampedes: 2 Heats (6 trucks)
Stock Sedan: 2 Heats (9 TC total)


Once we get a hold of the people who didn't know we started yet the
crowd will get bigger. I'm expecting another 5 in 4-cell stock next week. Had lots of fun last night and we were done by 10:15 our time last night:wave:

In case anyone is wondering, I'm hungry.

Oh yeah on a side and more important than me being hungry: I e-mailed Hank the EUPRC Track Flyer and asked him to put it up in the "Track Flyers" Directory on the main site. The address is www.teamrcv.com for those of you who come straight to the boards.....you sick sick people. :)

Mel, I was wondering if you might take a quick once over on my X-15 and let me know how poorly I have it set up? I think it is close, but I would like a professional opinion. Thanks, I really appreciate all the help you have given me and I'm also sorry for the constant baggering of you. Got the 12th scale, boy is it gonna be fun!!! Casey are you ready to have that 12L3 and your butt handed to you at the Soo? By a WOODS car! hahahahaha! You gotta remember, since I bought it from Mel it is already set-up and ready to WIN RACES!!! :D LoL, Don't worry, I'm sure at some point you will hand it back to me.....
Jake

I've bought a Terminator Pro conversion kit for the 10L3. Must basy I've been very very happy with it. Been tearing up the Green Bay Club track with it.

Joel! don't do it. the honeymoon is over at the exact moment you slide the ring on. Trust me I know. wife asked me if I'd ever re-marry if something happened. Told her Hell NO! :D :D :D :hat:

Hey Y'all hoping this season's indoor is a fun 1 looking forward to racing with everyone that was here in the UP last year :thumbsup: Was wondering if there was a final decision on the tires for foam for truck and touring car or not? If we can definately use them then some advice on what compounds i should get would be great help. :D I am new to racing with foams so i want to get the "proper" tires for my SUPER FAST TEAM LOSI's :roll: I'm looking for a few people to beat this year or at least come closer to then what i did last yr. Those of you that know how much i raced last season know what i am talking about. Jake....you need a tougher job hehehe. Your on here WAY to much. Thanks for the info though and see you's all at the races. :devil:

Russell

Russell, foams on trucks are a go, foams on touring cars will be decided at the first race by the racers.
later, JOel

LoL :D I will jump up and down on the table if it gets people to run foams on their TC. Do they realize how much more fun it is, not to mention the traction gain and less carpet wear? In case your wondering I will be making a very big push for foams in Touring Car. :devil:

Joel, even though I don't live in the UP can I still join EUPRC? I want the discounts for entry fees and just to say I'm a member of such an elite organization.:thumbsup:
Jake

Jake, of course you can join euprc, I will never turn down someone that wants to give the club 20 bucks....lol

see you saturday.........hint hint
Joel

I thought I would post this here. This is a reply I posted to a fellow racer in another thread.

Sorry but I am part of a conspiracy to push Four cell again in Michigan. If we could get enough I would be interested in some nineteen turn with the Arcor motors. That is the same speed as six cell stock. That should satisfy the six cell stock guys. Instead of buying that new Trinity Stock motor that is out you can buy a handwound nineteen turn with adjustable timing.
Bottom line is Four cell stock is cheaper and hopefully that would help add racers in the long run.
So Joel be ready to add Four cell stock to the list of classes for the Trophy race. This is being posted with the backing of the "Three Wise Men ". Any thoughts or opinions? Later Mel

The reply and "constructive criticism" is posted on that other thread...:wave:

:eek: SWEET. Thanks Joel for the info. Jake we borrow those tables and they are in rough shape as it is, so NO standing on tables for you hehe:p I'm not sure what a 4cell class is? Is is for stock truck or 12th? I'm not a big fan of adjustable motors and timing i'm new to mod stuff so i think that us nonmod racers will be at a disadvantage if it is switched to that. Umm that is just my opinion, if is an altogether another class then cool. Just remember guys, we are on a time limit i think and we need to make sure that we all are going to be marshaling when needed to be. :roll: I know everyone is good about it. Just reminding you guys who will be racing 4 clases hehehe. *cough casey* :D Of course if i'm not busy i will once again volintere my time to marshal.


Looking to have a great winter see Y'all there.


Laters.

Hey Russ You dont want to talk to me or what
Turn on Yahoo
I will be on for a little bit and than have to go and work on my R/c stuff in the garage
I know don't have a heart attack ppl it wasn't a typo
I have a mission this year and a few PPL know what it is
So I am prepparing for it BIG TIME

Casey

Russ, don't worry, mel is talking about pancar.
mel I would welcome the cheaper costs of 4-cell, but the last time I tried it it almost killed pancar all together up here.

I would love to see it go through though.
Later, Joel

cheaper cost of 4-cell is inhearent, but the cell's that I buy for my 1/12th car are $2 to $4 more expensive per cell, because with only 4 cells and motors that were designed to run on 6 cells, the batteries are more critical, as well as the motor setup.

Wigman.
First hope you know I was only kidding about the wedding thing :D

Now
I understand what you are going through trying to get 4-cell started. I believe most of your racees run Off-Road in the summer time and may even run pre-assembled battery packs. Nothing wrong with running those. I just understand it's now a major pain to convert these over to 4-cell.

In Green Bay we did not eliminate 6-cell, we added 4-cell last year and let the racers decide. 4-cell stock is outdrawing the 6-cell class almost 5 to 1 and is still growing. But I'm glad you guys tried it.

For the people who haven't raced 4-cell. The cost benefit compared to the speed aspect is almost even. On a short track like ours. (lap times 4 sec or less) there is only a 3 laps difference. The races are more competative. Instead of 3 to 4 sets of tires a season I'm only burning up one. With experimentation and setup the cars are actually working better threw the turns, which is making the cars faster.
To win our 6-cell stock class you need a 60 lap run and with 4-cells
we are pushing the 58 lap mark. So as far as being slower than 6-cell I think the only thing your missing is the acceleration.

:wave: :wave:

In the end I wouldn't be against it as much as I was last winter. Last winter 4-cell was the devil to me, I was off the pace oven more than 6-cell, if you can imagine that! :eek:

Over the summer, I played with a lot of Stock motors, just getting the feel for how to make them work better, and to get more power out of them. No I don't have dyno (yet, right casey...hint hint!) I would just drive the motor and see how it felt. So if all this pays off I will be bouncing off of people and walls faster than I did last year.... :devil:

So now that I might have a competitive motor in stock, I would give 4-cell a chance again. I will even have a decent pack for it from my 12th scale. If it sticks and I race 4-cell often, I will have to buy another battery pack. That will make Casey cry.... LoL

Russell, this is kinda like dividing up the pan cars into two classes. (In more ways than one...) Even though 4-cell is a whole different BEAST compared to 6-cell, I personally wouldn't call it a *new* class. :D

I definatelly can see what you mean, with the 2 less cells, the quality of the cells are more critical.

No I don't believe the cells are as much of a issue. 4-cells can go for 8 minutes better than 6-cell can therfore unless you have really really crappy cells they will work just fine. 2000's, 2400's, 3000's seem to all be competitve with each other. Becasue of the voltage discharge vs time is so much longer with 4-cells than 6-cells at 4 minute you are still very high in the voltage curve. I know guys who are winning races with cels you never would even condider for 6-cell stock.

Hey casey sorry about the on and off thing so much yesterday was looking for a few answers and saw that you weren't there so I left, i had to get ready for work. I got my truck all set. =) Hope it handles as good as it did when i drove it last night on lunch hehe. Cool thanks for the info Joel on the 4 cell thingie. I'm excited and can't wait for the RACE TO BEGIN. Chat laters :wave:

A interesting news letter on racing in wisconisin.

:lol:

1/8 scale in the lights...sounds cool. I would have put glow sticks on my car.... :D
Jake

Casey probably would duct tape a flash light light to his car.... LoL :thumbsup:
Jake

I considered painting my Terminator Pro a flourescent color and mounting a small light and some "A" size cells for running at night at the Tri-Clone. I have to find some Glow in the dark paint:D

Are there any tracks near Dearborn? I'm traveling there from Erie, Pa for a business trip and would like to race if there is a track near by.

Thanks,

Race3737

Hock, they make glow in the dark paint now. You use it in an airbrush, it was displayed at the Chicago Hobby Show. It is due out REAL soon if it isn't out yet. That would be awesome, to have a glow in the dark body....


Oh yeah, I beat Casey to a 1000 posts.... not that there was a competition or anything :D
Jake

Cool I'll have to look for it. I didn't get to the show this year I had to work. first show I missed in many a year

Originally posted by race3737 Are there any tracks near Dearborn? I don't about stuff down in the D-Town area. Mel might have a better idea, most of us in this thread don't venture down that far south. :)

Also you might want to contacr DJ1978 from these boards, he lives in Dearborn I think.

Jake,

Can I private message him or does he have an email address?
