GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrr...............two weeks of no racing, time to dust off the play station and wear out the gran turismo 2 disc!

Chris, what do you say to off road @ Stricklands on the Jan 15? My T3 super turtle is ready to go!

Hey does anyone have any of the pictures saved from Shawns older hobby world site? Namely the one of me and Dave P.(Daves squared) with our cars from earlier this year? I lost them a couple of months ago when my puter took a dump.Butts(tm)- I used to have it. I managed to copy a few pics off of his old site before it disappeared. Some of those pics ended up being on our new site-some did not. I'll have to look on our 2 computers at work & see if they may be on any of those.

My buggy is ready ( almost) and so is my wife to have our first child ...so It will be late Jan. or never (J/K) before I can go back to the place I luv called stricklands :cry:

Eugene, When you were running your brushless setup in the oval car did you ever time how long it would run in practice? Chris Collinsworth won the 100 lap enduro here in Macon last year in 12 minutes and then proceeded to run another 20 or so laps before expiring.

Sorry to change the subject.....Anyone going to the birds that is going to want tires I will be placing an order thursday this week, or if there is anything else you may want. Dont wait too long stuff starts to be hard to get. This will be for the new RC4Less tires only. You can mail or PM me. Thanks, Jeremy
:p

Hurricane you have PM

My buggy is ready ( almost) and so is my wife to have our first child ...so It will be late Jan. or never (J/K) before I can go back to the place I luv called stricklands :cry:

Dude if the "event" is impending you're not going anywhere for at least six to eight weeks after and rightly so. What I remember most is anxiously waiting for them to give me my kid and everyone to get the f#*! out! Oh my what a circus! Good luck and LMK when you start selling your stuff! HA! LMAO :lol:

DaveP, what tire combo are you going to run in 19t at the birds?

Cool, I'll prob try black right sides and like a grey or tan lefts.

My stuff will not be 4 sale and I am in complete control of any situation forthcoming....My wife has me 6 days a week I will have my one day of racing. bet your a$$ on that. :hat:

A big factor is how fussy the baby is....and if he/she? is anything like his/her father, then he is in some deep doodoo :D J/K

Seriously though...the first 3-4 weeks can be hectic. Close family members like mothers and mother in laws that like to help out are great. :thumbsup:

yah right when she say jump you say remember I can only jump so high. and when she says poop you say what color??????????? lol

This is your first baby right? It's more like your wife/baby will have you 24/7 and you what YOUR stuck at home...no joke We'll see you at the track in a couple of months probably in the summer LOL Enjoy the newborn when it arrives and have fun but don't use your transmitter to control the baby. :p

and if you do get a day off rent a room and sleep!

you just need to stand tall oops I forgot this is Chris you need to stand firm and tell her how it is going to be!!!!!! 1 race day a week. don't push more than that and you'll be fine, still an Ompa Lompa but a racing big wheel riding one!!!!!!!!

rent a room and sleep

...and AGAIN I agree with Ray!! lol
I was lucky in that mine slept the entire night through every night after the first. But from being born at 3 in the morning and not going to sleep myself until sometime 2 days after that...well, I slept every chance I could for about a week trying to catch up lol.

Butts(tm)- BTW,I couldn't find the pic of you & P w/the cars. -George

No problem George, The other half of Dave squared had the pic. Now I do too.

Anybody on 79 ... damn baby's glitching Put the Missus on her side. That should help w/the glitch!!! lol

Nice one Kevin....I'll try to take an updated pic of the track

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Pilgrim
the track will probably be closed saturday for new years day. unless we can get someone to open the gate for us. I my self would rather practice on saturday as aposed to sunday so I can start earlier and not worry about getting home cause I got to go to work the next day.

George has a key!!!! Let's go George!!!

he's probably got a party to go to with a bunch of hot chics and drinks with umbrelas in them so when it rains it dont thin out the liquor. :jest:

I hear that south of the Mason-Dixie line it's a felony to thin out liquor. :eek:

stone 2 things don't add up George and hot chicks!!!!!!!!!

Need a little help guys, when running 19t with a D5 motor @ 36deg and the tires are cut down to 2.2" about what gear ratio should I be running in JAX? Here we run caps and they are around 2.48" and we run in the neighborhood of 2.6:1 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also what is the runline and track record in 19t? Has anyone tried the short track taurus down there yet? Is 3 pinks and a purple right front a good place to start on tires?

track record is 36 4 flat i know that much

stone 2 things don't add up George and hot chicks!!!!!!!!! P- LOL! I'll have to show you some old band pics sometime,when I can dig them up again!! lol
Stoney & Pilgrim-I'll have to check on the Sat deal. (I would think they would be open??)
Echeconnee- Last time I or anybody's checked,the HW runline is approx 360-366' (somebody please correct if I'm wrong or heard anything different). 3 Pinks w/Purple RF is what I think the majority is running. I've ran 4 Pinks in my Pro-Spec car & tire wear or handling couldn't be much better. I do know that one of the guys is running a 100/43-45,and he's currently in the lead in our points thing. Dave P posted his 36-lap setup for his L4 awhile back-I'll see if I could dig it up.

this is my set up that was good for a 36 4:01.1

front end parts Irs king pins
wolfe 1/8 axels no shims on the inside
hyperdrive 5 hole castor blocks
custom adjustable brace
LF
Spring red std wolfe
camber +1 o deg castor
castor blocks in 3rd hole
shims I run 1 silver on top of the steering block
shims on top of upper a arm 3 silver and one black so that the nut is at the top of the nylock
RF
spring std green wolfe
camber 1.5 2 deg castor
shims 1 silver on top of block
top shims 4 silver

tray I run the silva x factor tray extender in the 6 hole from the front with the 4 cell tray

hyperdrive shock mount with the bottom hole cut off to clear the t plate with the shock in the 3rd hole from the top
center shock is an assoc hard coated threaded with assoc silver spring thread about half way. 4owt assoc oil
side shock stock vcs with irs adjusters gold assoc springs i space the shocks with a white assoc washer on the pod plate.
t plate assoc symetrical .075

pod
I run it on center so you'll need the shorter diff hub
axle spacing 1 gold wolfe washer on the diff side
and I space the LR out 1/8 inch from the LF

tires I run RC4LESS pink rears pink LF peurple RF
cut tires to 2.300 rear and 2.3.00 front.

tire sauce I use trinity red dot or corally jack the gripper full rears full LF small stripe in the middle of RF

ride height 6 mm front and rear body is HD protofrom monte carlo 1/4 cut off rear spoiler with a Pedano wing monted on the body so that it is just below roof line.

electronics futaba S9252 digital servo novak xxl reciever mounted flat behind servo novak GTX mounted in RR coner of chassis.

that is my car hope it helps
Cliff- Here's Dave P's L4 setup. Hope it helps!
-George

gear wise I run from a 38-43 depending on tire size. start with a 40/100 with that tire or around a 2.5 ratio. 3 pinks and a purple is what just about all the fast guys are running. as far as the bodies go the Protoform HD monte carlo is the way to go.

Is it Jan 8th yet?

edited :D

Dave P- Are you mounting BOTH the upper A-arms in the 3rd hole on your HD caster blocks,or just the RF?

edited :D

sorry about that George the LF is in the 3rd hole and the RF is in the 2nd hole from the bottom.

Does anyone have John Hart's phone #? I want to see if he has anymore Personal Transponders.

email it to me if you have it. travymoto1@cs.com

Thanks

[QUOTE=Echeconnee]Also what is the runline and track record in 19t? Has anyone tried the short track taurus down there yet? Is 3 pinks and a purple right [QUOTE]

Clifford, Allthough the track dimensions have changed a liitle bit in it's almost twenty year existance it used to measure out at 325' around the bottom(when it was dirt it had an actual inside wall) and 410' around the outside for a middle line of 367.5'. No one runs that exact middle line and the pvc is now set in about two feet wider than the old lane width so who knows? Maybe 350' is more like it but when figuring out mph I always use the 367.5' measurement as it makes for a faster mph.

I dont know of anyone using the short track Taurus allthough Phil Owen has them but has'nt run Jax in months.?

Three pinks and a purple will get you in the ballpark if not hit a homerun. I had to go a little firmer(magenta)on the rear to free up my car. Some guys were experimenting with a purple rr and a pink or magenta lr. With the speeds 19t cars are generating if you try to run anything softer than a purple rf it'll be just about a one run tire. The last time you guys were down here I ran three pinks and a red rf on my L4. As a matter of fact those same tires are still on it and last time I ran it I turned some 6.6's. That aint track record times but it sure aint slow either. Weeeeeeeeeee!:devil:

The official track record in 19t By Bear Yarbrough is 36 4:00.24 . I was there and seen it wit me own two eyes.

anyone going to the track friday ?
