Nick, it is about time. Well, there is one more person, keep them comming. It is a little late for me though. Got a new car and I think I am going to be racing it on wed. and saterday night both unless we have a good turnout in the 4wd class. Just have to see but I am looking forward in running 2wd this wed. I went though the whole car after racing on sunday. I did the diff, shocks, and tore the whole car apart and put it back togather again. Its ready to go.

See everyone on wed. and saterday.

Dustin

Nick,

There was 8 of us there on Saturday. 3 novice, 3 sportsman buggy, and 2 expert buggy.

Phil

They havent been the 30-40 people yet because it was only our 2ed week and everyone like Tom was gearing up for the carpet that was comming up so just wait. They will get back up there.

Way to go big daddy.

LOL, yeah, we will just say Jesse added some more speed to the mini. LOL now it should only do about 40mph insted of 30mph, keep it comming Jesse. We love it.

Jared I think you need to sneak some extra hours in at work and not let the old lady see it and go buy some hope-ups cause you are going to need them. LOL

See everyone tonight

Ryan,

I was thinking of taking my oval car up there on thursday. let me know if you are going and I will make sure that I show up...

Phil

Anybody know someone looking for an XXX-4...? Problem is I have spares worth even more than the car (even a spare grapite chassis still in the package)! Before Jesse asks -- it ain't cheap!

Switching from 2wd to 4wd and back each night just never worked for me... Gonna try just running Buggy and Truck on Wed. nights (as soon as the wife stops working all this overtime)...

Ryan,

I was thinking of taking my oval car up there on thursday. let me know if you are going and I will make sure that I show up...

jessie said he was racing tonight and dustin said that he might! mitch and I will be there! ready or not!

Just curious, is anyone planning on making it to Novelty for their final trophy race of the season on Oct. 30th? According to the weather channel, the temp. should be in the mid 60s. Still pretty comfortable for outdoor racing. Oh, and one more thing, GO CARDS!

Ill be there, along with Joe and the Dirtcity crowd.. I hear most people are headed towards springfield for the weekend though..

I will be at CT tonight with my L40. Lisa will also be there running either the MFXXX-T or our newly aquired B4.

Later
Phil

Well Looks Like I am out tonight Cullagan man Coming To Fix Our Water Softner Forgot About That one Might Stop by If I cn Cut Loose.
Jared

Should have a good turnout even though a lot of other things are going on....Should be some Iowa and KC guys & gals and the regulars.....That's all I've heard so far....Sounds like Rich is bringing a few too.....'Bout as cheap as it gets for a trophy race

Is anyone planning on racing on saterday night up at hallsville cause if no one posts I am not going to be there.

I guess I am planning on running some carpet on sunday as well. See everyone there.

Dustin

I won't be there, I dont believe that Mitch will either! we plan on working on the track tommorrow to make it a tri oval I guess! see everyone on sunday!

I am planning on being up at Hallsville on Saturday night. I don't think Jared can come up though. If no one shows up, I guess I will just work on the track a little and practice with my Mini T so I can beat Jesse.

Gary,

I don't think I'll be at Hallsville tommorow, it turns out I live 250 miles away.

Now who the heck planned that! :confused:

Adam

ill be there to practice hacking gary:p ,oh i got a new chassis lol

And while you two are out there breaking stuff, I will be in the pits doing some of that big and evil "T" word. LOL I havent got to do it in a while and I started to feal left out.

See eveyone at hallsville and carpet.

Dustin

Tom I was wondering are you gonna be racing carpet on sunday? I need a few items for my rc10l3 the front spacers under the arm mounts on my car are too thick and it makes the car sit too low, I need some of those thin spacers and a flanged bearing for the front wheel! I will be going to hobby town and see if I can find what I need as far as the bearing, but I know they wont have those spacers! I think what I need is # 4127! well see everyone Sunday!!!

... we plan on working on the track tommorrow to make it a tri oval I guess!
Tri-Oval ... sounds great! I actually think I'll be able to run on Sunday, and I'm curious as to how the change to a tri-oval will affect the onroad layout. I would guess that since the infield will be bigger that the onroad section might change some too. I'll be running 1/12 pan and TC.

:dude:

well it sounds like the track is gonna stay the same for this week! I think I got a few things figured out on my oval car as to why it was so loose, but I still need a few parts to have it ready for tommorrow, but I will be there ready or not LOL see ya later!!!!!

Curt -- a lot of guys get flat washers for 3/16" screws to use as spacers on the front end... Get the aluminum "backing" washers for 3/16" pop rivets and they don't weigh much -- no more than nylon spacers... They are 1/16" thick, and you just adjust the number under each side to raise/lower the chassis... Sounds like you have the 1/4" blocks under your front end..?

OH -- I plan on racing Sunday... 4-cell stock oval and 12th scale onroad... Dont' have the sedan rebuilt yet...

Anyone looking for an L3O...?

Phil -- I put a standard L3O chassis on 'rent a ride' and it's for sale too... Tell Ron...

Tom,

Ron said he wanted the L30, can you bring it with you to the track on Sunday.

Tom I do have the 1/4 spacers in the front, but I think I got that part fixed and the body mounts also, just waiting on mitch to bring me a set of bearings for the front wheels! what size are they? hobbytown has a set of 3/16 x 5/16 are those the right size? I hope because that is all they have! see ya later

3/16 x 5/16 is, I believe the size for the on-center aluminum front axles from Associated... I'm running special 1/8" axles from Wolfe on my Terminator Pro, but I think I might have a few used 3/16 x 5/16, as that is what I run on my ADX that I race at Springfield...

Tom,
Ron said he wanted the L30, can you bring it with you to the track on Sunday.

Yep -- I'm going to bring both of them Sunday... that will pretty much put me out of the "used car business"... I have a partial G-Force chassis/pod (needs shocks, rear axle, and front suspension, but that is it...

Nice place you guys have there at CT. Looking forward to coming back with my son too.

Glad you were able to drop by. We had a couple time delays while club members are getting trained on the software today but are getting it worked out.

Hope you enjoyed the track!

Kelly

I will probably be back in 2 weeks. I will bring my son too, he's 11 and will probably run his truck on the oval, maybe on-road too. I have to start grooming him for oval so he can run with Tom.

If anybody needs help with you race program maybe I can help. We ran the same software at Pontoon. Also, if anyone needs help with the pancars, I am always available.

Mike.

Enough with the carpet. Now on to the dirt. LOL

I talked to Joe and he said he is going to come up on wednsday and race so that means I will be running the 4-wheeler again.

So I think this puts me out on racing carpet on thursday unless someone can give me a ride home to my moms. She lives off of Lake of the Woods Exit, so if anyone can I would be willing to give gas $$$.

Dustin

O.K I would like to know who will be at Hallsville Wed night? Mitch and I will be there if enough people are gonna be there! I know Tom said that his better half is working OT, but who else is for sure gonna come? please post! thanks

Curt

I will be there Curt and i'm gonna try to talk my dad into coming also. :thumbsup:

Me !! Me !! Ill Be There I Will I Will

Hey guess what not only am i hack :( I also was told that some people think I'm running a mod motor in my oval car! LOL! why :confused: ? who knows! all the hacking and things that went on during the races Sunday and I'm the one that gets the finger pointed at! we ll it sounds like I might get Justin to race wed night also! I got a XXXT and a v7 for him to use, I just got to come up with a reciever! the truck 90.00 and v7 65.00 are for sale also if anyone is interestd130.00 package deal! the truck has titanium tierods and ball studs, graphite arms, and rear shock towers and a few extra parts and tires! the v7 has the 5 chips for it and the only flaw with it is that the blue is coming off the sides of the case! normal for those! well I will see everyone wed night! Matt your gonna race wed night? how about Dustin, Gary, Brad, Jared?????

As long as i can talk the wife into letting me go.......... :devil: ..........I will be there to race. :thumbsup:

Hey guess what not only am i hack :( I also was told that some people think I'm running a mod motor in my oval car! LOL! ?

Its funny how you get a car really running well and that *must* mean your running a mod motor. During the oval race a guy made a comment next to me that Curts really fast, must be running mod motor. Some folks thought that about Jesse's truck and he's running a stock handout motor.

Once you find the right setup, gearing, etc your going to be faster than others. I know several folks still running their summer setup and some tweaks would really help, the carpet track is a a lot different.

Kelly

I have Plans to be there. Talked to Dad last night he said he should be there. sounds Like enough to race... I will try to talk Matt B. into Coming up He has Been Looking For a XXXT and he Has a Radio, Reciver, and servo So he will more than likely buy it if he comes up. Everyone Counts Right.
See you Tomarrow
Jared
