yeah they do... a points race starts next saturday night.

Jeff

So how'd it go in Lansing today boys??

John, i am not sure if they moved since you've been down here or not. They are in the strip mall on 436 and Howell Branch.... the races are held in the parking lot out front.

Yeah, they must have. They use to be in the "Greater" mall a couple of miles further north towards 17-92. (past Red Bug) I know where your talking about as well. Is the old Shell station and the furniture store still at that same intersection?
.

RC racers favorite craft store? I think not!!

It sound like you guys and girls had a great time racing at the track.

Yeah, sounds like the crazy guy and his kid are doing a fine job of ruining a good time for most others. Me thinks it be time to dump everything but the buggy.....

I refuse to let one or two morons ruin my fun. A more sensible solution is to simply make the race director aware of their "issues", and let him deal with it.

Could I get Phat Dakota & WarpWind to call Marty at (269)838-0966 cell or (616)885-1500 work at work after 11:00am PLEASE

Uh oh, you guys have been summoned!!! Please report for reprogramming... BTW never to smart to give out ones phone #s on a public message board like this. :devil: Lord knows they put PMs on here for a reason. Sigh, maybe I should race this year, life has been a little to drama free lately..... You know, just for the stress of it. But personally, (and I know you all care so much) I would tell the offensive to take the proverbial walk off the short one and kiss the hoobajoob...

Mike :thumbsup:

Well that was fun even with the lite turn out. John where were you?
I thought you were doing the wednesday night thing.....

Well, i just spent 7 hours riding in a car from Hawkeye downs in Ceder Rapids Iowa.

What a trip. Sorry i missed the racing today, sounds like it was good.

hmmmmmmmm ........ Chloe..... nice girl at Hooters...... very nice..... free drinks and all :)

when were you coming down again Andy? haha. Oh, and drag Roy with ya.

70 entries at the club race tonight, and that is considered a low turn out.... crazy.

Jeff

do they run nitro?

it was nitro and electric..... and that is with the Nitro Regionals going on at another track this weekend

i guess they have topped over 200 entries before on a saturday night points series race.

Jeff

Does anybody know how Marty did at the gas nats?
Or, does anybody know the web address to get the results?

It was state champs...nats isnt till september.

Marty got 4th in the A main

Steven, I emailed Steve Ragan, the Secretary of the DRCCC for the results.

pm john

Looks like I'm finally going to make it out this Saturday - took longer to get the new house in order than I thought it would... From the looks of last week's results all electrics are running mod/foam. Anyone thinking of 19T rubber, or should I run out & buy a mod motor & foams (don't have either). If so, what's a good motor & tire combo?

Thanks, Denney

Denney - Indoor foams work fine outside, i.e. purple rear, purple or plaid front (maybe double-purple). Don't bother truing them down like indoors, they don't need it. (Or just use leftovers from winter.) As for motors, I'm running brushless, so is Fred and Rotten Little "Fred Jr.", some guys are using the Orion motors, and I think Jeff Cook ran an 8-turn. I ran a 10-turn once and think it's a bit faster than the brushless, but I'd rather avoid the maintenance issues.

We've done the 19T-rubber class once, could do it again if there are enough to make a class. Of course, then we need to decide if we're using ROAR 19T "super stock" rules, oval 19T rules, or anything-with-19-turns rules.

Denney, are you planning on running the wednesday evening program?

Mel, I see you reading the thread and do you and some of the other guys plan on running some oval?

I would rather run ROAR 19t where it must have 19t tag .
But will run the way it is perfered.
But if you want to run 19t ROAR I will check for tag.
I will let ya'll dicied what way you want to run just let me know.


Any questions call me 269-838-0966

Any questions call me 269-838-0966 I would like to run in this 19turn class but I just looked at my motor it has no tag on it:( Its and old speed jems2 but its brand new and I have a extra arm. So I will just run in mod then if I have to.

Kevin,

The way we have been running tghings over here are the "locked timing" 19t's... Reedy Quad spec, the "lizards".. etc

Fred - I may make a few Wednesday's, but probably not too many.

Kevin/Tony/etc. - All I have is "locking timing" 19T (with tag), but last year we had a few guys run the adjustable timing 19T's & I didn't think it made any difference (top-end vs torque trade-off), so I think an "any 19T" class would work. I do like running rubber tires though, makes it seem a bit more like I'm driving, rather than just keeping the throttle pegged & turning...

Denney

As the officials sometimes say in the NFL : "Upon further review..."

After posting the 19-turn question, I went out and checked what the exact ROAR "super stock" rules were, then looked for motors that met the rules on Tower's web site. The number of motors I found that met every aspect of the rules was ZERO. (I counted them twice. ;) ) The ROAR super-stock rules require locked timing AND mabuchi-style cross-wrap windings. All the fixed timing motors use the "hemi" wind, all the cross-wrap motors have adjustable timing, so I guess we have to go with anything with 19 turns and a tag on the arm. In fact, if you want to run a 19-triple, I wouldn't object.

I would like to run in this 19turn class but I just looked at my motor it has no tag on it:( Its and old speed jems2 but its brand new and I have a extra arm. So I will just run in mod then if I have to.
Is it a gray can with a "Quartz" label? If so, it's a 19-double. Sounds close enough to me, but a "lizard" will run better.

Um...Marty...u have my Dremel still, right? And Jesse, i need my Servo.
