Thanks for the info on the track fellas. Yeah, I hope to see you in two weeks at the Cheeseland Challenge. Should be a great time. Anybody for HOOTERS afterwards, lol. Last time we had to wait a bit, but it was worth it. Just ask Chuck about his experience, lol. :thumbsup:

For those of you who use Spec packs for racing, here is the #'s on my 6-cell 1600. I dis-charged at 15 amps so Rick could compare to my numbers. Even though he uses a TEKIN! Charge at 4.0.

Cycle #1
383 rt 1595 capacity 6.20avg/1.03 per cell 230IR/38 per cell

Cycle #2
391 rt 1658 capactiy 6.28avg/1.04 per cell 218IR/36 per cell


Kingpin tell me that they run AWESOME on the track in a Sprinter...... That just means I will beat him by that much more..... :devil:

Sounds like George is planing on coming down to L-Town to race the champs with us. :D

Maybe he can be the "3-wheeled" Legend State Champ. :p

Hey Jake , How big is Lansings track?
Also Kevin, what kind of rollout are you guys running in 6 cell pan.
I might run both 4-cell and 6-cell stock down there this weekend.

Jake do we still have a place to stay?????

George, you better go down to the states.

See everyone Saturday, except jake I'll see you fri. night.
Later, Joel

For two yes, I don't have enough room for three if Rob comes. :(

In 4-cell we are rolling out about 2.20 give or take on the motor, Kevin will have to answer for 6-cell. I think its a 175 running line Nick said? :)

Rick Rad
02-19-2003, 07:04 PM
Hey Jake,
I discharge the 4cell at 15 amps for legends.
The 6 cell I do at 20 amps.
A couple of 4 cell pack#'s 422 seconds at 4.34 avg
volts & 437 seconds at 4.34 avg volts
6 cell #'s at 20 amps 311 seconds at 6.36 volts
317 seconds at 6.28 volts
See you sat. morning

That would be fun, but I don't know how many classes I want to run.... It is more expensive than a club night. :(

02-19-2003, 08:23 PM
Joel - We haven't run 6-cell very often (and I haven't been taking notes), but I'd guess 1.6 to 1.8, depending on whether it's a high RPM motor (Green 3, Monster) or a torquey motor (P2K).

Wow, I can't believe no one has posted anything on here today.
I got hame from the state champs at 3:30 this morning, what a long drive home. Had a great time down in lansing except when i was racing, i did horrible, I raced in the club race friday night , broke the car in both heats, I think I got 3rd in the main, then saturday in 4-cell stock I broke in 2 out of the three heats then I broke in the main. In 19t I broke in 1 heat and manage to finish 3rd in the "B" main.

Nick and the gang at Hobby Hub north did a great job at a great facility, I really like the track even though it didn't like me.

I have to thank every one that helped me out thids weekend, casey for the ride down and back, and for the Bettery he let me use for the day.I have to thank Jake for the place and for shooting my car up with speed juice before the heats.
Thanks to Jamie for the 19t I ran on Sat.and all the set-up help, thenks to Keith Racknor for the set-up help also, I learned alot from you guys (mel too) this weekend, I hope it all sinks in so I don't have to keep asking the same questions next time I see you guys.

It was nice to meet Mr. Leading Edge himself, Hope your ride home wasn't too bad Dave.

I hope to alot of you guys up here for our trophy race in April, Later, Joel
