Randy ain't run 1/4 scale sprinters. But the Most fun ive had on dirt is 1/10 Electric Sprinter. Clay track with foams. Man handles like a dream and fast. Some day I will have a 1/4 gas Sprinter. :thumbsup:

For a few years I ran the dirt with electric 1/10 sprinters too and a couple times with a 1/4 scale of a friend of mine . I think that's what got me hooked on 1/4 scale , it just took till 99 to dump all the smaller scales and just do 1/4 scale . Aint no going back .

Fred Murry makes some nice top and front wings . His top wings maybe a little heavier than the foam and corrigated side board type but they are a sturdy piece and take a beating . Been using his since 2000 .

I have a Arrow sprinter with a skellenger. I also Have that Tom hughs car from Vagas. But they both have skellengers. Mybe I can just bring My Super and run it. :) Just kidding of course. I might just buy a car if you can't have another one ready by then. I would rather get one of yours though. I guess I could always sell the car at the track when I'm finished with it. I just don't know which car to get.

Yea, I talked to todd about the tires today. I think I will just get a Pro1 It seems to be a good car. I'll call Jim tomorrow and see if he can sell me a car without powder so i can use my color.

I talked with Gary today about the offset car. He said a women bought it and I could'nt offer her enough money for it :cry: That sucks because I would love to have that car in my collection.

I can make the race if I can get the car in time. Only problem I had was a 6 race series we are running with 1/10 scale latemodels and sprints. This race falls on the same weekend as the third race of the series. Since they throw out a race i may just miss that one and head up there.

Later.

About two years back, Bob Jefferson sent over a DVD from Aussy to the QSARF with dirt 1/4 scale sprint car action. For whatever reason I could never get it to open in my windows media player. Well, brought it to work, slapped it into my laptop....son of a gun it played! The video shows some great sprint car and sedan racing. Makes me want a sprint car now. I have the need to plow the grass up my side lot and smooth out the dirt....LOL

I like it!!!!!

I have that DVD too (It wouldn't play in my vcr either. I watched it on my lap top.) Bob sent me a copy in 2004, that DVD played a major roll in getting us going on DIRT!!
