Will all know that Tang is master of the indoor track, but can he improve on his 2nd place finnish last summer? Or will sg1 take 1st again?

A new class this summer will be the Mini-T's. It will be nice to get them out side and off the carpet......Tang you beter make sure you rais that chassis! Bud said something about "Big AIR".

OK who voted NO -- Bud was that you?!!! :p

How did you guess!!!!!!!!!!!!! I may conside a track like they run in England where we would run the road course and then jump over the barrier and runon some low cut grass. We will see.

Looks like the YES is double that of the NO, one suggestion Bud - a gas weedeater will take the grass right down FAST. If you run on grass with mini-t's it'll have to be cut short. We use a weedeater on our track in the back yard. Most dirt tires hook up on it really well. You've got a perfect place for an offroad track right next to Da Track.

5 yes - 3 no Bud I can help with the track!!!! I have some ideas........

I can help too. LMK

I think the mini-T track should a be road track with jumps in roll @ jump's spaced out @ high banks. It will show who can drive@ handle the jumps @ turn's and the winer will be based on driveing not on speed Don.

Bud clean off the track. I'm ready for the summer series. :cool:

OK as soon as it warms up !!!!!!!!

70% yes......

It's nice and warm....track building time!!!

Bud -- Did you make any tires with the new foam?

not yet !!!

What new foam?

I have some double pink rears that I want to try and softer purples. Fronts will stay the same. If you remember at times last year we were looking for rear bite and I think these will help. Hopr to have the track all cleaned up by 4-24 or so will keep all posted. :wave:

how about gray?

Will try it but I don't think it is as long of a wearing foam.

AHH OHHH -- 9 yes for Mini-T off road track........

Need about 90 for that to happen :eek:

OHH LOOK -- up to 11 yes....we may hit that 90!

OK when that happens we will build it !!!!!!!!!!

:) Build It And They Will Come :thumbsup:

Yes Bud.... BUILD IT!!!!! Also make the asphalt track bigger while you're building stuff!!!

AND SMOOTHER!!!!!!!! :) :jest: :devil:

So, if those who are interested in the bigger track, smoother, etc. would like to help build it and donate funds to make it happen? Bud might be inclined to have it occur.

So, what would it take ($) to pave a 75 x 75 square? Realizing this increase would impact the area for pit space. The current track is in a 50' x 25' area. An inch thick layer won't last on roadways; for a road it needs to be 2" thick. For racing and parking it probably could survive an inch thick layer. Typical driveway cost for concrete for a 15 x 30 foot area is $2000 or more if they demo the old asphalt driveway. I've not a clue what repaving would cost.
The fact that the property is for sale is not going to be something that Bud
would want to invest more money in a repaving is my guess. So, if we want a nice smooth track, then pony up with the cash. $100 x 20 people would raise $2000 for the effort. Do you know anyone who owns a paving company in the area?
Raffle tickets anyone?

:) As long as RAFster and Tangtester keep running BRP car and keep driving the way they due Bud would have the money in know time just on the replacement parts sales alone. :wave: (Just a little joke, Relax) I know right about now Tangtester's head is about to explode because I mentioned his name in the same sentence as RAFster's. All I know is I'm sick of breaking my car indoor's I want break it at Da Track with the sun shining down on my bald spot, 2slow00's dogs cooking on the grill, and Tang yelling at everybody because his car is a pile of shit. My race day is not complete unless I see Tang pick his car up off of the track and walk off of the drivers stand (area) in the middle of the race.

See you all next month.

Hey SG1 when is Test and Tune day, Make sure you put it on "THE CALENDAR" :devil:

I think as long as Bud can beat SG1, then SG1 is going to keep tuning and testing and tuning in his goal to make Bud sweat it. Beating SG1 on a day when he's got it ON is a feat. When you have folks wiping out a set of front tires each run in Mod, then Bud sees some cash for all that foam dust on the track for replacements.

SG1 spends lots of money and time on his cars getting them dialed to the max. I think that is where Tang doesn't spend that amount of time and effort and as a result he's fighting it and gets mad and walks off. Unless someone might provoke him into getting mad....:cool:
None of us would do that.

Me, I'm out there to have fun and enjoy the ambiance and company of friends and fellow racers. Oh yeah, Tang too. :devil:


My last race outing cost me the race fees, a new 52T spur, a rear axle and some replacement diff parts for those lost when the axle broke. Beyond that...
Now there was some $$ I gave Bud for a project I had going...
And SG1 for a separate project he was doing in his copious spare time.
The gas to get there and back and dinner afterwards with friends.
Worth every penny.

Simple!!! SG1 Just buy the building and then you can make the track bigger and you can build a Mini T track and all sorts of fun things :)
Anyhow SG1 is too fast You don't need a bigger track !!!
I will try to get it all ready to go maybe next weekend weather does not look to good this week.

Maybe I should show up with my BRP car again so Tang can go a second per lap faster and a lap faster over 5-minutes!! hahaha!! I dont know-from the drivers stand-Tang's car was pretty darn fast!!

So whats this about a bigger asphalt Da Track? Although its a major haul for me to go to Elyria at rush hour-I and maybe a few other sedan driva's might be willing to come out and pay for practice time to run on a big track like that on weeknights!!!

Ray >>>>>>>>> No bigger track, sorry!!!! Come on out with your BRP car no rush hour on sat.

How is the track?!?!?!!?

I hope to get it all set up this weekend!! :)
Have fun at Freddies Sunday

What looks like a good testing day for everyone?

Nice day for testing!!!!!

Only 14 more days to the first race! I am going to try to get a few more laps in.... :thumbsup:

Hello Mini-T guys. I'm ready to come play again with everyone. So are the Mini-T's going to jump into the very short grass or not? Are there going to be different classes or run what you show up with?

Did anyone end up going down to Freddies over Mothers Day?

where is your track? I,d like to race with you guys some day. I,m coming from clinton twp. michigan.

BIGG-K -- We race at the BRP World Headquarters.... check out:
www.brpracing.com for info....

OK -- the First race was rained out...:(

.... Next race is June 5th -- Oval ---.

Bud -- will we still have 2 throw out's? Orginaly it was 6 races with 2 throw outs...will it now be 5 races with 1 throw out?

We will make it 5 with 2 since it was a total rainout!!

Forget the June 5th Mike. I'm waiting for the June 26 Mini-T's race. Bud make sure Dan can make this race.

June 5th is merely 9 days away...
Ready yet for some Oval racing at Da Track?
2slow00; you think we need paddle blade tires and invert the bodies
and extend the paddle blade tires outside the waterproof body?

Anybody interested in practicing this Saturday around noon???? Tangtester is going to be doing some secret testing, so we should all be there to encourage him!!! Bud did you get my phone message???? Call me!!!!!!!

Ya - I could do noon...... Let me know if it's a "GO"...

I heard that Bud is going to have the AMB set for us and TANGTESTER will be running it this Saturday!!! Maybe BUD will buy us PIZZA and COLD BEVERAGES!!!!!

I have an idea..... what if we run a day night double header to make up for the rain out!!!! We could run roadcoarse in the morning and oval at night under the lights that TANGTESTER will set up!!!! Anybody for it????? I know BUD would approve of it:P

I like the day night idea...I also have some nice lights ;) .....See you on Saturday!

SG1>> We will have AMB all set!!

Day- Night Double Header!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds good!

:) The day/night thing with a visit to "The Lube" in between would just be about as much fun as one racer should be allowed to have. Maybe after the night race is over, we can all sit around a fire and sing a little "Kum-ba-ya". :o

We may have to if the next one gets rained out !!!!!!!!!!!!
