But on the better side I cant wait till sunday.Kinda bumbed about the top motor already havin a bad rod.I dont understand why it would go bad already other than I could have been running it TO rich .Kind of ponderious.

Hey Rich running it rich shouldnt put excess wear on the rod that would be dumping more oil in there and keeping it even more lubed up, running it to lean on the other hand would be my first suggestion or some of the very fine clay dust made it in there some how because that sunday you raced there was alot of it out there :thumbsup:

Rich,

Maybe you just had a limp rod to begin with!

Rich,

Maybe you just had a limp rod to begin with!

LOL :jest:

I will assure you,No limp noodles here.I have herd that runing to too rich at higher rpm will put exsesive strain on a rod and wrist pin.My motor never had run over 185 210

I dont know for sure, but I wouldnt rule out the clay dust possibility maybe?

I dont know every thing I was ever taught or learned about engines the more lubricant the better? :(

You might be a Michigander if you use your air-conditioner and heater on the same day!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Ain't THAT the truth!!

you are correct in assuming that an excessively rich condition wrecked your con rod. At high rpm thats alot of strain. I've broken a rod once in the first five minutes of break in because I didnt make sure that the needles were set right out of the box. also if you changed cooling heads, make sure you had the correct head shims.(duh) But also measure the combustion dome depth (to plug face) and the machined portion that actually fits into the sleeve. Bad crank bearings could also lead to the same result. By the way we have O'Donnel 30 in stock again.

We are getting somewhat of a late start this summer,
after all, indoor season opens back up in October.
Which is only a total of 18 weeks away!!!!!!!!!!!
It's going to be a GREAT summer guys!!!:thumbsup:
Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time to enjoy the sunburns from the driver stand @ WOOR... My guess is that summer is starting this WE...

What about the points series? When is it starting ?
The sooner, the better... We all know that if new racers are coming, they'll come back 'cause the track is AWESOME and the peoples over there too.
And if we start it early enough, we can have 2 or 3 round of pint series and that will help people to show up...

So let's start the official season ASAP!!!
What about next week ?

Hey Josh, where are you . still alive ? Are you racing this year or what ?
Are you guys from Kzoo coming to visit us soon, and show the local guys how to drive an 8th scale ?

CU sunday guys,
Mike :wave:

BTW, I have real breaks now. So hopefully I can try to give a hard time to the OFNA guys...

Hey Cliff, Check your PM...

I am not sure that this would work but........
IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES DID NOT PURCHASE A DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.
AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF
OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL
COMPANIES.
THEREFORE MAY 19TH HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK IT TO THEM DAY" AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF GASOLINE THAT DAY. (Mark your calendars and be sure to fill up the day before)

THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.

WAITING ON THIS ADMINISTRATION TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?

REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF GASOLINE GOING UP BUT AT THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH EFFECTS PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING MATERIALS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY, WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE MAY 19TH A DAY THAT THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"

READ THE BLACK PATCH UNDER THE US FLAG;http://us.f810.mail.yahoo.com/ym/us/ShowLetter?box=Keep%20These&MsgId=4374_467902_5054_1240_139241_0_17757_186320_ 538184573&bodyPart=2.2.2.2&YY=60462&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b

This SHOULD be on the front cover of Time, Newsweek, etc.

But it won't.

Let's "put it there" by forwarding this all around the world (so to speak)!

(The flags are France, Germany, and Russia)-- in case you didn't know.

Hey Damage........

your link don't work first of all, and what about tomorrow,
you wimping out again or are ya going????

.

Well poo. Guess I'll have to figure out how to put a picture on here. As for racing tomorrow, all my plans are on hold until I can get Sandys car fixed. Thats why I'm doing another brake job tomorrow. On a FORD no less. I guess when your scraping for cash you take any job- LOL! And to top it all off I had to replace another brake line on my car today since it decided to go bye-bye this past wednesday as I was trying to slow down after getting off the highway. BUT- I did figure out why my EFI was giving me grief... Loose wires from the power module to the logic module was making my fuel injector not inject fuel, no gas means no go!!! :D :devil:

Sorry Guys I wont be out to race this week some things have come up that doesnt allow me to make it out this week :cry:

I hope to get out for practice a couple of times this week to try and dial the new ride in some more, seeya soon. :wave:

Well I am ready for tomarow.Its looking like its going to be a real nice day.

I am ready to I hope.Just finshed packing things up to take.

Well I am ready for tomarow.Its looking like its going to be a real nice day.
Oh yeah, you got that right Rich...
It will be FUN !!!

Mike

Well I have to say it was a joy to have you guys from rnl out there today.It show how much more I have to learn.You guy did great today!I hope I will be just a bit smarter by the next time you guys come out.All in all it was a great day of racing I had a blast and for you guys that didnt make it out today you sure missed out!

Yea Yea rub it in Rich, some of us had some important problems to try and solve and still dont have it solved :rolleyes:

What a great day of racing!! I would like to say Thankyou for all the help today Cliff:thumbsup: I was just about ready to pack it up.But after all your help I finshed every race :)

Yeah I got to admit, it was quite the day of racing! Can somebody remind me of what OFNA stands for again?? From what I seen today, there wasn't one in the top five. The main was won by a Mugen, second was a Kyosho and so forth. But I have to give credit where credit is due......

Ed Lamberson (wreckscuba) made his maiden voyage with his new OFNA and finished all three heats, then finished the B main in 3rd place!! Jason Jacobzik (sp?) anyway, Boatman would have made the A main a little more interesting except the car he borrowed developed a flame out problem at the start. New track record goes to Dan Cook, but Boat was right there thruout the heats. Funny thing is this..... Chad almost didn't make the A this week!!!!

Once again, thanks to all of you that came out today, great showing by everybody!!
.

Jesse......

It's past 8:00, I see you made it home.
How'ed the ebay deal go?????

BTW: Blue is NOT my favorite color!!!!!

hey guys besides the blue taxi (state pig) i arrived in today it was FUN out in the dirt. Thanks to ED for letting me drive his buggy ill be joining you guys for some 1/8th scale racing shortly. But i had one quick question? seeing how i wont have a lisence for a while i was wondering what motor for my buggy would be strong enough to pull a little red wagon with me in it out to westolive from caledonia any help would be great thanks Jesse :lol:
p.s. chad what buggy kanai 2 or kanai 3 thanks

Ya Jesse Did you get your new toy??

Yep, now that you mentioned it, I have to admit I was a little shocked when I got the voice mail from the boys in blue with them mentioning your name, then looked up to see you and Shelly sitting in the back of his car!!

Glad it all turned out okay!!!!!

Jesse......

It's past 8:00, I see you made it home.
How'ed the ebay deal go?????

BTW: Blue is NOT my favorite color!!!!!
yep i hate blue now too it used to be my favorite color hahah i think i found a better deal just waiting to make a choice it was 9:00 neeed to hurry up and pick :thumbsup:

Man, the things I've been missing out there! Looking out the window here I'm abit bummed I didn't venture out there. But I guess there's always next weekend.

So, how many electrics showed up? Were they running stock or mod? And while I'm on the subject, what tyres have the truck guys been running?

I think there was 4 elec.trucks and they where all runing mod as for tires not sure

All i can say warner is that i tryed.I hope buy next we I will have a little bit better set up.

Yes I had a few gremlins in my pit sunday, I was sitting in 8th in the A but fought my way up to 2nd, Hats off to Cook since there was no way to catch him. Jesse, I have a K2.... What buggy did you get K2 or K3? Either way I'm sure I can help ya set it up!!I bet if ya had an RB in that K car it would make it here pulling you in a wagon.......

Dave Walton, check your Pm's.

If you download the update for Windows media player (9 series), then it should work. Otherwise, Apple quick time should be able to open them.

I'll take pictures and more movies next week. So get the update guys...
