AHHHH...such a nice day to practice!



I got a first look at the sg1 custom mod SC-18....WOW it looks great! And by the lap times....I think he will have the new mod track record.



For stock - I tried the new purple rear tires, I liked them allot - a little Red Dot and it stuck to the road!....My car looked good on the track -- watch out 2slow00 :eek:





Thanks Bud for the hamburgers.....oh wait a second....you didn’t share :(

See you all next Saturday!

Must be nice to live close to the track. hay mr. micro racer did you receive the body's I sent you I hope so if not let me know. See you in a week.

Yes I got them....very NICE!

Yes nice day to test !! Next Sat better be like today.

OHHH NO! I know it is still 5 days out, but it looks like rain in the afternoon on Saturday :cry: . A 20%-30% chance.....

You know Micro_Racer, our race director at CORCAR takes Karma points off of anyone saying that 4 letter r word. He views it as a curse word. I hope it doesn't affect our racing... :cool::D

Eveybody ready for Saturday?

I'm ready !!!!!!!!!

What's everyones new rides for this year look like?

Warbird -- I see you have a swampthing body! Looks good! You may want to put a back wing on.....

What body is that?

I believe Bud mentioned the gang from Sugar Grove was experimenting and had designed a body and were forming it from PETG plastic (pop bottle plastic.) Looking forward to the gathering at Da Track Saturday....

credit goes to Ron (swampthing), he used 20k lexan on the original pulls. It may be to light, testing will commence Saturday at the headquarters.

I like it.:cool: I want some.:roll:

I got my "swampthing special" body all ready to go....

It was GREAT to see everyone! The rain held off, and the food was mmm, mmm, good. Thank's Bud for another fun race day..

Yes it was! Will post some results Monday since I forgot to get them.

not only did the weather turn out great but that was some of the cleanest racing that I have seen. makes for a fun time. So thanks to all you drivers and special thanks to you BUD great time.

Well, mark one down for being done with no precipitation.
The skys looked threatening during the mains but no water fell
from the heavens. I left Bud's at 6:30ish and it was dry there
up until then.

Thanks Bud for putting on a good race. It was good to see everyone
and have some fun. Maybe I'll make the 2nd qualifier next time??? :D

Made it home fine, replaced the strap tensioning the alternator
of the green beast and all was well, had good charging voltage
on the way home. It must have been listening about the
replacement cause no trouble, yet. Broken tensioner bolts in
the block are no fun. I've tried grade 5, grade 8, and stainless
and replaced all the belts, bushings and even the alternator.
Time to dig another bolt out

Looking forward to some Road Course action in a few weeks.

See you all on the 26th -- Road and Mini-T's!
:thumbsup:

Just put the points in the mail along whit that Losi gear. You will have to do some machine work on the gear, but that is the largest 48 pitch one we have found yet. Happy gearing!

Thanks Don!!

Micro_Racer,

I'm curious, is the Losi gear for the MiniT or for your BRP SC18? The SC18 and the 60T RRP one is on the bleeding edge of usefulness isn't it? That particular gear is about the same size as the SC18 tires out of the package.

It is all “top secret"......



you will see it on race day :tongue: :devil:

I bet I know what he's getting!!!

Yes more speed...

Something to make the car hit harder in the corners??:jest:

Much harder.............

Points are on my web site.....



http://users.adelphia.net/~melwood/RC_Home.html



Don -- thanks for the points --- and guess what - the gear you put in the envelope was ripped OUT!!! I will show you the bag and envelope….:confused:

So, you weren't meant to have that gear after all? :(

???

Well, did anyone put a Mini-T on the track for a little testing? What tires or what type of track are we going to be running on (any grass/dirt??)?

Well I hope the postal worker puts it where the sun don't shine. I'll pick up another one tomorrow and see if I can I can find a safer way to get it to you before the race.

Minit76>> I ran with foams one day and it was good. We are going to stay on road no grass.

OK -- took the Mini-T to Da Track...Foam tires are a MUST.....Rubber did not work well!

What rubber tires did you try?

I had the stock front and the street meats in the rear.

K1M:

will the pa. posse be making an appearance soon?

Warbird: You betcha! We were hoping to make it for one of the oval races so we could dig the old sprint cars out again, they were so much fun! But dirt racing just got under way here in Pa the 6th and we've been havin a blast with the mini-t's and E Maxx. In fact, Joy has the track record right now with her mini-t loaded with Bud's hopups and running a stock motor! Mine is foolish fast with the 300 motor, but I'm having a little trouble getting a handle on it. We were shooting for the 26th at DA Track, but it looks like July 17 is better for the rest of the troops so we'll probably see you guys then.

Never did see any results of the race on the 5th posted here did I? Or did I just miss them, because I haven't been checking in too often? We're still here though....kinda "lurking" I guess. :wave:

K1M >> Thats good to here !!!!!! Just remember July 17th is a road and Mini t race.
Micro racer has them posted on his web site there is a link in the other thread.

Micro Racer >>> We need a good link to your web site !!!!!!!! If you need any help with your computer just call me :jest:

you can also click on Micro_Racer (above) and select Home page.....

Thanks Micro Racer !!!!!!!!

BUD.... Are you racing at the Gate Friday???

Micro Racer.... what classes are you running???

I heard TANGTESTER will be ready for BRP and MINI-T class... Anybody think they can knock his crown off.... just try it!!!! Whoever runs into TANGTESTER the most and makes him quit wins first place in my book!!

Hehehhe, I'll bring my EMaxx for RAFster to run!

I will not be there! Going to Mi for NASCAR. Maybe I will loan Don S my Mini T to whoop on Pat if he can.

I heard that someone wants to have theme music played every time they go to the drivers stand?!?!?…..anyone have any info on this?

It must be SG1 You know he is the current ROAR national champ :)

I heard that someone wants to have theme music played every time they go to the drivers stand?!?!??..anyone have any info on this?Something by Queen, I presume?

Someone have an update on 2slow00's progress on recovery? I'm gonna really miss the guy racing.

K1m, I'd love to borrow the T/Emaxx but I'm afraid they wouldn't let me run it. Besides, won't be at the oval race at The Gate.

SG1 special music huh? Has his height returned to normal or is he still walking on air? What's the band that plays the song ...can't touch that... needs to be a mix I think... Queen is appropriate though...
He needs a Burger King crown appropriately modified.

Hope to see you guys on the 26th at Da Track!

David

2slow00 is doing much better from what Rich said. He will still be in hospital for a couple of weeks however.
