Being the oldest and wisest finally counts for something!!!!!!!!!!!!yah, they could count the wrinkles, and deduct .1 sec from your total time.... you'd prolly have like negative lap times......

-Tone

hey tone did u try out the cyclone yet

just making sure that it works, ok
no

-Tone

I think we ought to give handicaps based on age -- the older you are, the more laps you get!!:tongue:

Ohh boy I will leave it alone.

the weather looks fine to me

It's always about traction, and staying out of trouble!! You ought to try 1/10th gas truck!!!
I want to race 1/10 gas truck....

Nick

I want to race 1/10 gas truck....


Nickif you want to try a 1/10 gas truck, i got an xxx-nt that needs a battery box, engine rebuild, and a reciever - if you're interested.....

-Tone

I think we should go with that forcast

Nickyah, that forecast..... i got a forecast for you.... doom and destruction on saturday, when Wayne sticks his size 12 in my arse for the wrinkle comment...

So you going to the track with Wayne on Saturday?

That is very interesting....You want me to rebuild it? Then I can race it?

Nick

So you going to the track with Wayne on Saturday?

Nickyah, because i can run faster.. not by much... thats where the age comes in...
BTW, i've read a few other clubs threads in the past.... and ours is pretty tame with the smack talk compared to some... its nice that we can all "get along" or at least be hospitable to one another...

Thats a matter of perspective now isn't it?

Nick

I wonder what all the flooding has done to the track? supposedly the drainage system aint workin too well

That is very interesting....You want me to rebuild it? Then I can race it?

Nickno... it was more of a statement of futility.... i wish i could rebuild it myself... i just dont wanna do that, i am too lazy... maybe, just MAYBE, if i buy a new engine (dynamite .12spd) i will let you race it sometimes! i was gonna do the "Go Fast.... Turn Left" thing w/ it... i'm not sure what it needs to make it work (other than radio eq)... for all i know, the engine might be good.... it DID make a POP noise before it died.. and the header stripped out the bolt holes in the crank case.... it was running about 245* w/ a nice bit of blue smoke.... any ideas?

-Tone

Thats a matter of perspective now isn't it?

Nickright now, i am seeing the world thru beer bottle colored glasses.... brown and green.... yummy yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-tONE

Tone, just to set things straight I wear a 13. And the weather seems to be the same as it has been this whole week. Chance of showers late in the day. I think we will get the race in with no problems.

I wonder what all the flooding has done to the track? supposedly the drainage system aint workin too wellewwwww... mr. negative..... go stick your head in a toilet, chew on a urinal cake, and give yourself a swirly, until you learn NOT to be so NEGATIVE!!!!!!!

I'll think about it tomorrow, tonight I go to bed. G'night all

Nick

Tone, it wont run without the header bolted on tightly because it wont get any back pressure. try tappin out larger threads and usin like 5-40 bolts

Daaaaaaaaaaamn Big Foot.... i figured, since you look like Tuttle Sr., and you SOUND like Tuttle Sr. , that you wore the SAME sise shoe...
i've actually been enjoying the weather this week.... i like the LATE evening T-storms that light up the sky, and all the wetness that i smell the next morning....

the WORST thing about the wetness.... NYC smells like a giant JOCKSTRAP...

-TOne

Nickyah... please do....

-Tone

Tone, it wont run without the header bolted on tightly because it wont get any back pressure. try tappin out larger threads and usin like 5-40 boltsi redid the screws in a fashon whjere i had to use NUTS on the other side to hold it on.... but it STILL wouldnt start.... still seems to have decent compression..... oh well... i might bring it to the race sunday.... just to see what is up....

-Tone

ewwwww... mr. negative..... go stick your head in a toilet, chew on a urinal cake, and give yourself a swirly, until you learn NOT to be so NEGATIVE!!!!!!!

-TOne
ok, maybe i will restate what i said earlier


I can't wait to see the great new features the flooding has lef for us. The drainage ruts, dmaged jumps and massive puddles should make for some great racing.



now that is glass half full positive

i redid the screws in a fashon whjere i had to use NUTS on the other side to hold it on.... but it STILL wouldnt start.... still seems to have decent compression..... oh well... i might bring it to the race sunday.... just to see what is up....

are you getting fuel flow? if not check the gasket behind the carb

Does anyone have an extra extra long battery strap for the t3

Actually, it was my understanding that the class was already decided. My understanding for offroad is that stock configuration Maxxes with up to midblock .21s were one class, evrything else was Unlimited MT. On the oval it was only small block stock config Maxxes.


I stand corrected: Off road TMaxx is small blocks only, up to and including .18's. All .21's, including the new midblocks by Picco/Ofna/Orion, are NOT legal in TMaxx. Sorry for the confusion, me bad.

fuel is flowing, it was pissing out the pipe.......

-Tone

ooooh... i thought offroad just didnt matter... my bad as well....

i thought that too, i'm pretty sure that wayne said you sould run any motor you want offroad and small blocks only in oval

i'm goin

your going next weekend?

i thought that too, i'm pretty sure that wayne said you sould run any motor you want offroad and small blocks only in oval
There is an unlimited t maxx class for anyone that brings one. that would include 21s and up. and what ever else t maxx type truck there is. off road t maxx is a "stock" small block t maxx class.


I think :confused:

wow cheese i love mustangs as much as the next guy but u r a freak

and your a idiot, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuwipp

Well, anyhting under a .21, so "mid-Blocks" are allowed too

Its alright, my plates full with the stuff I want to race anyways, and the list keeps growing...what was the count now, Mike? 6 classes I wanted to run?...I think a bit too many.

I don't know Tone, I'd have to take a look at it, it could be a lot of things.

Nick

The members voted that monster offroad and monster oval must be small block motor. No mid size 21. Open monster offroad is eveything from mid size 21 and up. They arent TMAXX classes anymore because ther are so many other trucks that fit into the class. WAYNE

Nicki didnt say it was a EVERY WEEK NICK WOULD RACE my XXX-NT... i mean, lets say, your buggy and truck EXPLODE one week, and you dont feel like fixing them... anyways, i might try to fix it this weekend, just to see what is up.... i doubt it tho... anyways...

-Tone

your going next weekend?
i think so, my friend ray has a nice 5 liter and we're plannin on goin

SWEEEEET, how many seconds does his run? rick and i may see you there

I remember that vote... thats what i thought..... so basically a .46 TruckZilla Savage can run w/ a stock TMAXX, correct?

well...... If both were in Open Monster offroad.

Lets see
1. Buggy Mod
2. Truck Mod
3. TMaxx
4. Gas Offroad
5. Mini T (puts pinky finger to lips)
6. XXX4 uhhh I mean 4WD

You could do it nick.

There seems to be some confusion on terms here. Small blocks are .18s and smaller. They are all basically the same size externally, and they can be mounted interchangably using the same motor mounts. Big block .21s are physically quite a bit bigger than small blocks, use different motor mounts, and physically don't fit on stock TMaxxes without lengthening the chassis to make room for the motors. Mid block .21s are a new size of motor specifically created to bring .21 power to stock chassis TMaxxes, extending the trend begun by the various manufacturers that bought out direct drop in .18s for the TMaxx last year. Introduced in early 2004, mid block .21s have .21 displacement, but they have crankcases that are bigger than small blocks, and smaller than big blocks - hence the name. They can't bolt directly on to a TMaxx motor mount - they are sold with a motor mount adapter that does the conversion between the slots on the TMaxx chassis, and the bolt pattern on the motor. But they do have cranks that are compatible with the stock TMaxx clutch, they can use the TRX EZStart, and they are slide carb/rear exhaust so they can use the stock TRX pipe and throttle linkage. Picco makes them all, and they are marketed by Werks Racing (Picco), Ofna and Orion, in pullstart and nonpullstart versions. At DR, they are not legal in the offroad small block TMaxx class, and are not legal on the oval at all.

Thats what I thought, thanks Wayne, you have a much better memory than I, kinda funny, since you are the oldest, eh? :tongue: :lol:

-ToneI know Tone, I understand that. Right now, I have 4 classes I could be racing weekly, and I am still planning on a XXX4...so that would be 5....Besides, it's yours, you race it!

Apparently, for the offroad, it doesn't matter, anything goes, if it is an unlimited MT class.
