They are getting rather thin.. I didnt get enough of em... please bring some... and a bit of everythng would be welcome.... Im getting bought out and empty hooks remain... I still have a bit of everythng.. but gettng down to just 1 or 2 each.

So, how did racing go?
It was a beautiful day for racing.
What was the finish order for mod and stock?
Was Wayne or Bud winner for mod class?
Or, did someone else pull a hat trick?

DWBryan...do you plan on posting results from the races?
The more the better...

I hope the weather is as nice for the season closer at Da Track.
Hurricane Ivan off Cuba is a monster, category 5 again.
They say we will be getting rain off of it Thursday and Friday.

Stock Was:


Bud Bartos

The track was allot of fun to race on. I think it is a little bigger than classic’s, but not as banked. Personally, it was the fastest my SC-18 has gone! It took me all day to get the set up right, but by the last heat I was a rocket! The last heat all 10 BRP’s ran on the track. Off the line Bud got stuck in some traffic, and I had the lead for a good portion of the race. In the end Bud was able to catch up, pass, and eventually got a lap on me. :(





A big thank you to all the School Yard guy’s for making us feel welcome!



Great Track + Nice People + Yummy Food = A GREAT TIME RACING! :)

Yes it was a fun day of racing!! Thanks to all at schoolyard :)
SC18 V2 has a great first race showing, it was smooth all day. The Mod cars were just super fast too bad SG1 melted that pinion off. Micro did get a important run in and we now know for sure the 2/3 A cells kick it. Power push baby
Dave said he would post some results soon.
Thanks again and it was nice meeting all of You !!!!!!!!!!!

Race results are posted on the school yard web site under Saturday Results...

It was a LOT of FUN... Thank All of you for comming the distance... it took a bit longer than I had expected and hope that didnt discourage anyone from doing it again next year.
Next year I believe it will be a more standard format.. heats & main.
What we did was to run 4 races... total the best 3 for each driver throwing out the 1 that had the least laps. In the event of 2 drivers having the same number of laps we then went to who did thiers in the fastest time as a tye breaker.
Here is a cut/paste from my site of that nights run.

Bud should have the listing for that motor I ran!!! You can get it from him :)

Hey WAZZER...
Is you sprint car OK??? I just looked at my car and I have 2 more broken screws in the front and a T-plate that is holding togather by the resin it was laminated with!!!! I can't believe nothing happened to yours!!!

-Wayne

Nope, just a slight bend in the nerf bar. I think it might have been laying on its side at impact, and you hit the bottom. I blew a pinion off that last heat, and it was soldered on?

sounds like I missed a good one, good job Micro!!

Bud at the School Yard...

And that guy is a past world champion???

Heavy Equipment thats how it is done :)

Heavy something!

Thanks for the promotion and statement about me... I do understand, You are fairly new to the sport.
And now you have gained the 1st had experiance of what can happen at a competitive atmosphere race.
I know you didnt mean it to happen and I also believe that from now on you will understand its better to pull a car with a problem and fix it over trying to race with a broken car.
After the race you showed me that the motor pod only had 1 screw left in it on the bottom thus causing the whole rear end to swivel around and making you go out of control.. it happens from time to time.
So dont let that 1 bad experiance discourage you from the sport, just learn from the mistake and then if it happens again you will know the proper thing to do and you'll see, it may cost you that 1 race.. but you can always make it up in the rest of the nights run... handling is the whole nut in the shell... if it dont handle it cant win and will just give you and others a hard time.
Add screws back to the assy, and keep em tight... and all the race will go just right.

Ahhhh I see my 1941 Cat road grader made it to the forum... and guess what, it still runs great!! I race it around clearing or installing building sites when IM not building a race track for the awsome sport of RC racing. ;)

Dave,

Great event, quality racers, and excellent food. What a combination. Looking forward to next year. Keep spreading the word, you should have a bigger turnout.

The spread in Outlaw Stock between you and I was only one thousandt of a second. Unbelievable, that's probably the length of a BRP at speed.

I know you didnt mean it to happen and I also believe that from now on you will understand its better to pull a car with a problem and fix it over trying to race with a broken car.

DWBryan -- good advice!

Many SC-18 racers have had the same problem with the rear screws -- a few tricks are:

1. Put a dab of Lock-Tite on the screw - that will prevent them from backing out
2. Super glue the pod plates to the T-Plate top and bottom - if a screw backs out it should hold for the race.
3. This is what I did - buy a 4-40 tap it will come with the drill bit, tap the pod plates and top, bottom T-Plate and use the Associated Button Head Socket Screw 4-40x3/16" part number 6920...I have never had that problem again!

Yep Wazzer, we where close!! real close... (theme of Jaws) daaa du, daaa du, du du du du dududududududu. hehehe
What I did was take everyones most lap race and the fastest finish time.. we didnt do it in ther same run.. but all in all we where neck and neck getting smoked by 1 and beat by 1. hehehe it was FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got so excited I almost forgot to breath.
Had to return to basics.. wax on wax off... in through nose, out mouth.
Yea next year will be even a faster feild and MORE!! Cant wait.
Hay Bud did you find a good spot to put all that hardware. :)
AWSOME RACE!

Wazzer, last race it was bumper/bumper with Bob, this race with DWBryan. It is ok to jump out and leave everyone :p

Dave>> Yes it is displayed at world head quarters !!!!

NIL--- Where were you????????????

Yep this weekend is the awards run for the 10th scales... the Fall Classics. ;)
_______________
Cooooool in the Worlds head quarters... thats a good place.
I had some neg feedback about them trophys from a couple of the 10th scale drivers... "BIG & heavy hardware for such little toys" and " Why didnt the 10th scale get trophys like that!!!" Ohhhhh well, maybe I'll get more than just 5 racing in more than just a 5 week run that was rained out twice.... maybe there is a link between # of drivers -v- weeks of racing and also to be considered in the equasion... IT WAS a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE!
Cant please all the people all of the time is all I can say. :(
But the 18th scale did get the 2nd biggest & best trophys I have ever provided here.. AND I have no regrets getting em. ;)
maybe next year it will take a 2w dolly and a 3/4 ton truck to haul em away.

Casting of a BRP Sal7 body in concrete with add on tires for details...that'd make'em heavier! :D Then for the person who caused the most trouble on the track give them the trophy of the cement shoes and a ticket to a ferry on the lake? :cool: :devil: ? Well, maybe not. That would be insensitive.
Besides, I don't want to drag a pair of cement shoes back to Ohio. It would kill gas mileage...

NIL--- Where were you???????????? Teen ager/family issues. Easy once you're through it, but tough at the time. Anyone who's raised a teen probably understands.

It sounds like it really wasn't a race for my limited skills, anyway.

Just tell the 1/10th driver to switch to 1/18th BRP of course!!!!
