Hey Howler I was going to say it depended on what class you are racing
IE Puzzel cars need lower IR's
Pan Cars need more volts

But with your #'s you posted you want the 16 IR pack becasue .003 doesn't mean anything in any type of racing
It will not give you even a fraction of an inch or millisecond

As for the IR's you posted a difference of 5 and that does mean something
It will pull you out af a corner faster get you off the line faster
so it will give you a better time

Anymore ? ask me

Later

Well, I guess that Hock is going to lay waste to me this weekend, lol. Casey, I'll be looking for 4 cell packs. Belive it or not, I still have those panasonic metals that you sold me, lol. Not sure if I should slap them together for the weekend race or not. I think they were 1.14s at 18 & 17 IR

Hey you big Gorilla. Quit picking on my grandson ---Jake. He is too small and frail to stick up for himself.:lol:

Message to Hankster. If you are thinking about putting a spell check on this forum, ... DON'T. It is too much fun reading it with the errors. Sometimes it is almost a mystery, but always entertaining.

Any of you big guns who have to have the best batteries should make us back markers a deal on your old ones. My two year old 2000 packs left over from one of the three wise men, are still capable of pushing the car faster than I can aim it:( But when the night is over, the smile on my face is as big as anyones.:D

Casey, I am in class. I'm trying to get the java version to work but it is being stupid. :rolleyes: I dunno I'll keep trying....

George, thanks for sticking up for me. :) And if they had spell check how would you make fun of me by spelling kollige? :p

Jamie, If you can't afford to stay at a Hotel/Motel you can stay at my house. The wife is going to be out of town so it will be Me, Casey,and Big Rob.

I would let everybody stay but I don't have that big of a house.

If you would send me your e-mail adress I will send you the directions, If you come up with Mel and those guys you won't need them.

Let me know if I need to clean out another room.
See you all on Sat.

Jamie I believe mel and those guys are running stock and 19t, 19t will not get trophies only ribbons.
Later, Joel

Well guys this really sucks. I tried hard the past couple of weeks to get out of two family commitments on saturday and it just isn't happening. I'm not going to make the trophy race, I wish you all good luck. Perry and Pat, I guess I'll have to wait until April to meet you cheesheads. :D What sucks is that is that the April Trophy is the weekend before finals too..... who ever picked the dates this year did a bad job! :p

I really wanted to come up, if it were just school I could probably do it, I would spend my time on the stand or with my nose stuck in a book/laptop computer but I would get it done. If anything changes I will let you know...... :cry:
Jake

PS Please do rub it in my face of how much fun you had and everything, and Casey please take LOTS of pics of the Terminators, the track and people! Thanks!

Wow, I'm surprised. An hour since I posted that I wouldn't be able to make the Trophy race and no death threats in my e-mail yet. Thats a good sign. :D

12-04-2002, 12:50 AM
Don't worry Jake. I will not send you a an e-mail anouncing that I am going to hurt you....because I don;t know if I am going to make the race either. Joel, my e-mail is jh1480@chartermi.net. I am going to try and make it but still not sure how things are going to play out. Do not plan on me being there......but I am going to try. I still get crap from last winter when I missed the trophy race.

12-04-2002, 12:59 AM
Don't worry Jamie, I will hear about this one for YEARS to come.... Guess what? I got that pack built for you! :D

I left early yesterday becuase I came in early like today. Worked on Car stuff from 5pm til 1am. Totally ripped the car down a rebuild it, cleaned everything. Rebuilt shocks. Shrinked, glued and solder cells.


Then came in early to work after 4 hours sleep.

12-04-2002, 10:07 AM
Well Hock, at least you were doing something fun, we got about the same amount of sleep, I was just doing Homework the whole time.... :(
Jake

hock
12-04-2002, 10:11 AM
That homework is getting in the way of your racing. You gotta set Priorities, Racing or school :lol:

rowle1jt
12-04-2002, 10:21 AM
Yeah I wish, the good side to busting my butt is that I am in and out in 4 years, I don't know anyone here at CMU that has done that in years! But $2700 dollars a semester + living expenses really puts the binders to ya on my yearly budget.....


Check this out and let me know what you think:

CMU ?

Central Mich Univeristy

Is that a collage collage or like our UW state school system. Which is known as 13th grade?

rowle1jt
12-04-2002, 10:35 AM
Yeah, CMU = Central Michigan University and thats where I go to school at, and work for. :D We skip 13th grade, it is an unlucky number. If I had to say what grade I was in, I would be in 17th (senior) becasue we skip 13th. This is all to involving, I'm going back to my homework. :thumbsup:
