Rosewood R/C Raceway, Goldsboro, NC

[GAR]

Hey Glenn, Laurie does not have any power and might not make it to the track early in the morning. Just wondering if I could pick up a key from you in the morning around 9:30 or 10:00 at the shop.

George

[npresme]

Ron what size shirt ya want I told ya I got 1 for ya..
2100 sq. Ft. :eek: :D


See you guys on the tarmac!

BTW I am going to get like 10 2 liters of grape soda....you guys think that is enough?

[Tarheel]

George, no problem. Come by the store.
Anthony, this isn't going to draw ant's everywhere is it? i thought you all were going to use VHT or something like that.
Glenn

[npresme]

I doubt that is draws ants. or the track in Easley and the track that is hosting the nationals wouldn't be using it every week. I haven't ever read anything about an ant problem.

[npresme]

George are you going to be able to spray the track Fri.? I know Laurie said he bought a sprayer. But wasn't sure if you had one or not.

I will not be able to make it out Fri.... But trying to figure out what to do for Sat.

[bmelton]

It doesn't draw ants. We used straight soda at Fernando's for three straight days, not any ants.

Ants only like things they can carry away, lol. Once it adheres to the asphalt it ain't going anywhere :D .

Grapesoda doesn't attract ants. We have a large population of fire ants around the TC track, and after spraying it NO ANTS were ever seen on the asphalt. I think all of them gathered under my tent and attacked my feet :eek:

[Tarheel]

Good enough for me then. Thanks.
Glenn

[SpaceCowboy]

Where is the TC track?

[CCapece]

Where is the TC track?

In Greenville, SC

[dbracin]

Glen

Do you have any shocks for the Mini Cooper, besides the pinks ones and
do you have any matched batteries at the track?

Dale

[Ron Zee]

Hey Dale, If it's for the mini, just a thought,, but mine with a matched 3300 pack turn exactly the same lap times as my 1800 sport pack. But, then again, one of my "good" ones died on me in the main last week. Hmmm, maybe I should cycle them before the next race,,, OH NO!! that's tomorrow!!!

[John Tag]

:D Less than 18 hrs till the Yokomotive gets derailed :D

[John Tag]

Is it tommorow yet...Looking foward to a good day of racing.

Who all wants to see a Express south race :eek: Stay tuned maybe in winter of 06 we can get those rebles where we want them..on home turf :D

[Billy McCormack]

Glenn - I'll be there tommorow to get a mini cooper...you still have some in stock??...Maybe i can have it together in time for the race :D

BillyMac

[Tarheel]

Dale, i have shocks and other items for the Coopers. Billy, i just got 5 Coopers in today including a RTR. matched packs, no prob.
Glenn

[Tarheel]

Let the smack begin.
Glenn

[JimmyMac]

See everyone in the morning..... ;)

[Tarheel]

I want to thank everyone that showed up today for coming out to race our summer bash with us. Most of the racing went well today except for some mistakes on my part. I want to apologize to Will and Bill for not having a drivers meeting and explaining what packing the mains means. Apparently some drivers heard me say we were going to pack the mains and some did'nt. Second mistake was not stopping the stock main and waiting to see what the weather was going to do. All of the STOCK drivers that raced today have a free race at the WOOD next time you come out to race with us. My apologies to those drivers for mismanaging things. I hope some of you had a good time today. Congrads to the winners:
George Ryles in Mini Cooper, Anthony Saunders in Stock, and Mike Laruso in Mod.
Glenn

[axrayed1]

Congrads to the winners today watching the mini's was fun. I'm glad that I found out I'm not as bad a driver as I thought now if I can just get my car to stop glitching I think I can be even faster.

[CCapece]

Congrats to Mr. Laruso. I'll see you and the NC crew in Florida.

[Tarheel]

Correction on the MOD winner. Mike Lufaso is the correct name.
Sorry Mike.
Glenn

[Billy McCormack]

I had a great time at the Wood sat..Congrats to all the winners

Thanks for letting me borrow your mini chassi Mark..Those little things are fun..No way i was going to get mine together before the Main..

I got mine built as soon as i got home that night...lol..Now i just got to find some speed...I did the motor trick Ron was telling me about and those new batts i got coming in for next time should help..

I'm looking to have everything back together to run Stock once Rosewood goes back inside to the Carpet track..If anybody has a good Charger they are looking to get rid of , im looking for one...Turbo 35 or Integy 16X9v6 is what im looking for now..

Thanks agian everybody and looking forward to another great field of drivers next weekend..Was real nice to see everyone agian..

Talk To Ya'll Later,
BillyMac

P.S. How about that Rayn Newman today...#12 Rules !!!!!! :D

[CCapece]

IP.S. How about that Rayn Newman today...#12 Rules !!!!!! :D


You know!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's my boy. :D :D :D

[npresme]

Glenn- I had a BLAST in the Stk. Main!! If we had waited then the Mod guys would more than likely not got to run at ALL. Ask Steve B. and JP what happened 2mins after you pulled off...

For once it didn't come down to who had the the "right tire", KILLER motor, Awesome Batteries and 2 million laps on the same layout.....It came down to the people that adapted to the condition the fastest. I thought that is what racing is!?!? How much fun would NASCAR be if ever week they ran the same track, for 500 miles for 36 weeks?

Also the track was the SAME for everyone. The ones that ran and finished the race ALL came off teh stand with a SMILE on their face and a laugh on the stand..... I know I did..... "Tag stop trying to pull my finger off the trigger!"


Also if you look at the results the same guys were up front in the main that were there ALL day.

So again Thanks Glenn!


The above words may be of a bais opinion! LOL

[JimmyMac]

I agree. It was a fun main. Just wish I didn't pike it and let Anthony and Tag zoom/slide past by me!!! haha. But still.. it was a blast. I just wish more american tracks would race in the rain like the European RC tracks do. Maybe that's another reason why they are kicking our butts in Touring Cars.... At least the TCS races race in the rain as long as there is no standing water. That's how my main was in Maryland last year! Anywhoot...

Congrats to all the winners. Good run in Mod Mike. Mini's was fun too. George won it like he said he would! Gotta get Tom out here to run them! I hear there are more Mini's (from women!) out there too. That's good. A little bird told me a certain boy (who did the durability test on my car during the 2nd qualifier) is getting one too... ;)

Anyways, catch yall next weekend. Oh Glenn, if ya can.. I'd like to try out a new Protoform body (PF1479) for carpet season. It's new, so it may be hard to get a~hold of right now.

Oh Terell, where are you ordering from tonight? I can't find the aluminum steering knuckles except from Rainbowten. http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/english/

[mshap33]

cable guy check your pm

[John Tag]

Glenn...We found out Grape soda really doesn't attract ants......But did find out it attracts Beagles..

[Ron Zee]

At least he didn't start chasing the cars!

I was thinking of maybe trying mod, but my old motor found it's way into Justins car and,,,,

Can't belive it, my mini goes about as fast as everyone elses, but for some reason, Glenn just wont let me pass him!! Joseph either!!LOLOLOLOL No other class I've ever run in has been as much fun as these little buggers. Low Tech RULES!!!

[John Tag]

Hey all... Just a little FYI with all this carpet chat going on. We are planing a Winter Express North South Shot Out down here come Nats time as a Nats warm up type race and we plan on it being just as big as the spring race. Date TBA location will be Rosewood-Glen's Hobby near Goldsboro NC. Real nice indoor carpet. Let's see if those northern boys got anything for us southern fella's. Were looking to pull some great names to this event as like the last time. So if you feel you got something make plans to show or we'll know you scared!

[Billy McCormack]

Oh Terell, where are you ordering from tonight? I can't find the aluminum steering knuckles except from Rainbowten. http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/english/


No one knows where to find these for the coopers??I need a couple myself...Poor mike has already broken both of his in about 15 mins of practice...lol..

Also , does anybody know where to get real turnbuckles for these mini's??

Talk to ya'll later,
BillyMac

P.S. thanks Marvin , see ya in a couple of weeks ;)

[npresme]

GAR- can you PM me that phone number we were talking about Sat.?

[Tarheel]

Thanks for the kind words Anthony and Jimmy, i appreciate it. Yes grape soda is the way to go for traction. Billy, i got in some tires and wheels and knuckles for the minis. Let's talk this winter carpet race up guys. I think it can be a good thing for our area.
Glenn

[m3ndo5a]

I found some it wasn't easy. About 5 hours of searching......

[Billy McCormack]

I found some it wasn't easy. About 5 hours of searching......

Im looking for a place in the states to order from...Plus, that site looks like a 10 year old built it...Thanks though ;)

[Tarheel]

How about GLENN"S HOBBY CORNER? just a thought.
Glenn

[Tarheel]

John, sounds great. I just hope the new shop will be done in time. I'm working on it.
Glenn

[npresme]

I am trying to convince the DRCW guys! But they want leave the comfies of home....

[JimmyMac]

Billy, Glenn has the aluminum steering knuckles for the Mini's. Remember, TCS rules for the Mini's which means you need Tamiya parts. Glenn can get them all. Also, what do you mean turnbuckles? You can only change the steering tierods. Not the camber links. So far Glenn has most of the hopups for the Mini's. Shocks, ball diffs, tires, and aluminum steering knuckles.

Maybe 1 or 2 will leave DRCW. Someone from there always shows up for carpet. But never asphalt. Anyways, maybe it'll be time to dust off the ole 12th scale for this race? hehe..

[npresme]

Funny how after only one week of racing the mini's he has more parts for them than the TC's that have been running there for 2 1/2yrs..... LOL :D

[npresme]

BTW if anyone needs/wants any GOOD gp3300's I got 3 packs left to sell...

$25 each or take them all for $65!

[Billy McCormack]

Ill be there Sat..I'll take all 3 if you still have them then... :cool:

Thx Jimmy...Glenn said he has them in stock as well..I need somthing that will hold up when you are hacking people before they even start the race...lmao...j/k...

[npresme]

Billy-I will be working but.... I can mail them to you and you can Pay-pal me or just mail me a Money order if that is cool. I can send them today and they will be there THurs/Fri. with priority mail. LMK
If you have pay-pal, my pay-pal is:
ansaunders@adelphia.net

I forgot I will not be at the Wood for over a month with going to the Nationals and work.

[Billy McCormack]

Sent 65$ to your PayPal address..

Thanks
BillyMac

[npresme]

Cool I will goto the PO right now and mail them to ya.

[Ron Zee]

Hmm, not trying to upset anyone but why would you need turnbuckles anyhow on the mini? Seems to me once the steering is set, you usually don't have to move it again. Also, if it doesn't have a Tamiya part number on it, it isn't leagal. And where are we gonna get inserts for these things?? Glenn tried both Great Planes and Horizon, and neither have inserts, or "foam inner liners" for the mini's.

All this aside, man these things are a blast to run. I wish we had done this years ago.

[John Tag]

I made my own iner foams from old dirt inserts..

[Tarheel]

good idea. John, you got a mini?
Glenn

[John Tag]

got 1 yesterday from my supplier....Andrew will be at the wheel...he wants George...LOL

[Billy McCormack]

You guys are Nascar fans right???

Remember Robby Gordons helmet as he threw it at Waltrips car??

Well check this out

http://cgi.ebay.com/Robby-Gordon-race-used-NASCAR-Helmet_W0QQitemZ5245335747QQcategoryZ50121QQssPage NameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thats Unreal!!!!!!!

[npresme]

All of that money is being donated to the Hurricane victims..

[Ron Zee]

Somehow I dont believe that when the auction ends, the top bid is what the hurricanne people get. I bet there's gonna be some kind of,,, "handling fee".

[henryj]

Somehow I dont believe that when the auction ends, the top bid is what the hurricanne people get. I bet there's gonna be some kind of,,, "handling fee".

10% should do it!

[npresme]

Somehow I dont believe that when the auction ends, the top bid is what the hurricanne people get. I bet there's gonna be some kind of,,, "handling fee".


Did you even read the auction and all of the questions?????

Prob. not typical Ron, click link, see one line on page and go open mouth! LOL

[npresme]

Also along with ALL the money R. Gordon has donated $20000 of HIS money and is pledging $7 for EVERY lap he finishes from now to the end of the season and 10% from merchandise sales!

I don't like him, but he turned a bad situation into a positive one.

[npresme]

Anyone notice that the Helmet has been removed by e-bay? LOL

[SpaceCowboy]

I looked at it this afternoon before leaving work. At 3pm it had been removed.

[jtn]

it was relisted...... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5246187188

[Billy McCormack]

They had to relist it cause the bidding exceeded $10 Million Bucks and they couldnt verify the bids..Also, they said on the radio this morning that Robby didnt have all the right paper work to make sure the profit went to relief efforts..

All the money they spend to win these races on Cars , Pit Crews , Pit Chiefs, and Research and all they really have to do is toss there helmet at another car and its worth a fortune..lol

I still dont know why he got so pissed,,,HE WRECKS EVERY RACE!!!....LMAO

[burntslapup]

Glenn you check your PM's

[npresme]

I still dont know why he got so pissed,,,HE WRECKS EVERY RACE!!!....LMAO


Thats why he got so mad, he didn't get to wreck himself!

I was hoping they were going to park him for the rest of the year. That way he would save some money on blown motors! :D

[Ron Zee]

Well, it's supposed to be a nice weekend again, only this time no rain. Got my mini ready to go!!

[dbracin]

I will not be racing my mini again until racing moves indoors. Please keep us posted on when the indoor seaon begins.

[JimmyMac]

Next month...

[JimmyMac]

Man, this LIVE stuff is awesome from the IIC in Vegas!! Scotty is da man!!

[John Tag]

Hey all a little FYI on the Express North South Shoot Out at Rosewood, We have come up with a date we need to run accross Glenn, Jan 6th and 7th...I got a good amount of out of state feedback already so this looks to be a 80 racer (125+) enteries race. Were looking to run Touring stock and mod,1/12 stock and mod and minis.
Got some great sponsors lined up also..entry form is being done and will be out soon....

[npresme]

:( I want make that race.....

[Billy McCormack]

Im in :D :D :D

[Ron Zee]

Hey John, did you ever get my PM? Just wondering,,,

Here's to hoping we have 20 mini's this week!!

[JimmyMac]

Damn.. Jan 6th/7th. I better get my 415MSX before then so I can practice!! If not, I'll have to race my TA05 graphite conversion.

Marc is a wheel! TQ'd Mod Foams so far. Listening to the race live is sweet. Now we just need some live video feed... That would be awesome!

Catch yall in the morning. Trying to decide if I should race my EvoIV or TA05.... And bringing the Mini. Can't let George win this time! :D

[bmelton]

:( I want make that race.....
I can already tell your coming down with something, cough, cough.

Just get someone to switch that weekend with you.

[John Tag]

Working on entry form..Glens hobby or Glenns Hobby

[jtn]

The 2nd one.... http://www.glennshobbycorner.com/

[npresme]

I can already tell your coming down with something, cough, cough.

Just get someone to switch that weekend with you.


Get someone to switch isn't going to happen.... The two guys on the opposite shift are like 22 and 24 they like there weekends off more than I do....

[bmelton]

Get someone to switch isn't going to happen.... The two guys on the opposite shift are like 22 and 24 they like there weekends off more than I do....
And the point?? They will get off the weekend they were supposed to work. You are off two staright, then they off two straight, they don't lose a weekend, just switch one.

[npresme]

We can't just SWITCH weekends! We have to switch within the same pay week.

So for me to get off on Fri,Sat. and Sun. I can only work for them on Mon. and Tues. So that puts the person switching working 3 weekends in a row....

I know its screwed up! LOL but that is the way it is.

[bmelton]

Like I said, cough, cough. Where did Sunday come into play? Race is over Sat, you won't need practice, it's your home track.

Glenn- We have worked out some details and this race is shaping up real fast with some real good drivers on the docket!! Eric Anderson of EA Motorsports has said he is coming, and Michael Sceen of Thunder RC, Robert Dirla (nashrcracer.com. Working on some other good names as well. It won't surprise me if there's 100 entries!!

[John Tag]

I already got 25 e mails...Yea Yea all looking to run Melton down....

were also working on putting a brand new touring car in the event prizes..

[John Tag]

Final round of 1/12 stock heats were run at Vegas and Express got 3 drivers in the A main...

[JimmyMac]

For those who want a live audio link to the Vegas race, here it is... http://www.iic-live.com/

Good run today guys. Someone's gotta take out George next time! Both classes! My day was blah... My battery flew out in the main with all the tangling I did in Touring. And my Mini... haha... I ran a flat tire in the main. Bad idea! Glenn and Laurie both got a new lap record in Mini with 12 laps!! Laurie was hitting 25sec lap times with a new motor he just bought from Glenn! Anyways, I bought some new tires for the Mini. This time I'll run inserts.... No more 2 piece tires for me! At least not til carpet season.... :D

Anyways, sounds good John and Brando. Sounds like this'll be a huge race. Talked alittle with Glenn about pit space. He said it would be okay to use the "new" extention to the building if the hobby shop is not finished by then.

Well lemme head out. Gonna build up the TA05 for next weekend.... The EvoIV is done for asphalt racing. Time to switch out to the new chassis and get it ready for carpet. The Evo ran okay with a slow 8turn today for practice. Blah blah blah.....

[nomac]

when's the first carpet race at the "wood"?

[Ron Zee]

One more race day and all the drivers in the mini class still smiling. Seems everyone had a good day with them. Let's hope this continues. Just wish I could figure out how some of you guys do it. Man, Lauries traction rolling??!!?? All in all though, I think I'da done better if I hadn't benn put in the spin cycle by a few.(JIMMY!!) LOLOL

Here's to next weekend!!

[Billy McCormack]

Great Racing Yesterday Fellas :D

That Mini class is a blast!!! Lauries traction rolling rubbed off on me..I wasnt doing it all day until the Main....Not bad after a 5 min. race and Laurie and George still manage to finish almost side by side..lol

Can't wait until we go inside to the Carpet track..I got a new TC4 FT on da way :D

[John Tag]

Hey all we came up with a date that doesnt conflict with the other major races this fall/winter. The date is going to be Dec 9-10th so dont delay getting your entry in as this will fill up real fast. Flyer will be posted later today and we got some real good talent coming to run from Nj,MD,PA,Tenn,Sc,Ga already confirmed.

[axrayed1]

[John Tag]

[axrayed1]

John are you racing anywere this weekend like Rosewood or Durham.

[John Tag]

No..I'm running my off road truck local as my onroad stuff is all set for the nats next week as we leave next tuesday...sorry

[axrayed1]

Have fun, I was just trying to save a stamp.

[sedanracer8]

cheapskate

[Ron Zee]

Why wont it download to this stupid computer? How about handing them out this weekend at Rosewood???????????

[John Tag]

Ron goto www.rctech.net and go to electric onroad fourm find Express motorsports link and look down the fourm there 1 there that downloads real easy.

[Ron Zee]

no matter, Dial up sucks big time.
So, I take it I don't have to sit behind the computer screen at this race? Hmm, maybe I can actually practice some,,,,,

Uhh, looking at the flyer, you might want to specify Johnson or Mabuchi motors only for Mini's. Looks like someone might show up with a Monster stock in his mini and have a cow if he can't run it.

[John Tag]

Entry says TCS rules

[JimmyMac]

Ron, the flyer says TCS rules for Mini Class. Duh....

[JimmyMac]

Haha, same time post...

[bmelton]

Ron- yup, got a pro race director set-up. Does all the national level event sat the farm2 in Charlotte. (offroad)

[John Tag]

Ron....this way you can race and relax and hang with the fella's..

[npresme]

Flyer will be posted later today and we got some real good talent coming to run from Nj,MD,PA,Tenn,Sc,Ga already confirmed.well yall hve fun will not mke that one because for one the race is on a fri the 9th and not going to pay to play onlly the 10th for 45 bucks i guest i spectate,what happen to sat/ sunday race :eek:

[npresme]

Reggie I may be wrong but I think the race is Sat. Sun with Fri. as a practice day. But don't hold me too that!

See Ya in a few days in SUNNY FLA....

[John Tag]

The Race is a 1 day Saturday show with Friday as a practice day, The reason for not running into sunday is we can get this done in 1 day and allows travel time for those driving over 6+ hours ex.NJ,Tenn,pa ect..

Reg Maryland was a 1 day show and you went...cough cough

We did this in NJ for our Outdoor on road race and had 128 enteries we started at 11am and were done with trophys at 8pm so still time to go out or get on the road for monday work..We had great feedback from that deal so the same format goes here too..

[npresme]

See that is what I get for thinking... I am excused today! Its my Birthday! LOL

Reggie, Come on down. You will have run on the track before that weekend anyway! Not like you will need tons of packs for practice...Also there is open and controlled practice on Sat. morning.

[John Tag]

Hey all just a little prop for those looking we are taking $5 off all enteries in before the deadline...

[John Tag]

This is the Reggie special..lol

[John Tag]

Practice will be sat also 8am till 9 open practice
9 till 11 am controled
11 till noon open practice

First heat 12:30 SHARP

[jtn]

is that $5 off for both classes if you are entering 2 classes?

[John Tag]

$5 per class...

[axrayed1]

Now you do that I've done sent my entry off.

[John Tag]

I'll refund the $5 dont worry

[bmelton]

Reggie- it's $40 with a pre entry, but there will be some cool door prizes and things you may win. AND, there's some awesome TQ awards that aren't cheap, and the plaques are of top notch. I promise Tag isn't trying to make money, but when you figure the door prizes, TQ awards, plaques, hiring a pro race director, and Glenn get shis cut for each entry (only fair) , it doesn't leave room for club level entries.

But I promise you with the response of driver caliber, this will be far from a club race. Although it's only verbal commitment, so far, we have Cuffs, Denton, EA, Skeen, Williams, Lufaso will probably come. Hopefully I can drag Lemieux out of the woodwrok as well. It will be the best crop of talent the wood has had in there at one time for one race.

[Ron Zee]

John, will your guy be registering everyone or will I still be needed to setup the computer? Just wondering,,,

[John Tag]

Ron..Dec 1 I plan to have the list to Glenn so if you ant you may enter them in or we might just do it friday.

We did this in NJ for our Outdoor on road race and had 128 enteries we started at 11am and were done with trophys at 8pm so still time to go out or get on the road for monday work..We had great feedback from that deal so the same format goes here too..yeah ur right i guess i was looking at the date u had was friday for the race and saturday but it will be sat for the race

So what ya getting for your BDay Anthony? Lap Dance?? hehe.. Have fun in the Sun guys!

[bmelton]

Glenn- you have PM.

[m3ndo5a]

J/m are you still look for some tires. I have some BF G-force (z rated)225/45/17 and 215/45/17 (z rated) All Season (super smooth tires) New Kuhmo. You can get these at a good price. I sold my Saab.......and Angie's Yota.

[JimmyMac]

I'm having Hank get me some tires Terell. That's what he deals in. Sides, I only ride on Yokohama's.. hehe...

You coming out tomorrow?

Anyways, catch yall in the morning I hope. I'm fixing my TA05 and should have it ready to run.... And my new Mini tires are mounted up since I wore out my kit tires...

[JimmyMac]

Oh, forgot to mention... My Miata uses 16's.. not 17's. But Thanks for looking out.. ;)

[Billy McCormack]

Jimmy-You could use bicycle tires..I never once seen you go over 60mph on the road...lmao

Got my mini body i bought from Glenn all painted up and ready to go..See yas tommorow ;)

http://www.sbrgamers.com/images/Billy_Mini1.jpg

[JimmyMac]

Ahhh the ole paint scheme! I remember that.

Me do over 60mph? Never.. I'd never do that!! :eek: However I do know that the Miata will do 140 before it hits redline on the way to Logans. But that was the turbo dayz... :D

[mshap33]

cabke guy check your pm

[John Tag]

Hey guys I got 12 MFG to date..theres gona be some real GOOD door prizes..Chassie kits both 1/12 and touring,batteries golore,motors galore,bodies ,car kit..this will be better than a chineese flea market..LOL

Get those enteries in there rolling in everyday.....

[JimmyMac]

Tag, can I just hand you my entry next time I see ya? I want Stock Touring for now.

Good run today guys. TA05 did pretty good. Connecting with other cars and corner dots in the first few laps of the main loosened up my front spool. So I ended up pulling the car in. But watching the rest of the main was fun. Anyways, car was great. Drives alot smoother than my EvoIV. I was even able to get the heavy plastic car under Roar weight!! :eek: At 53.4oz. Rosewood is 53oz rule. I think Roar is 53.7 according to Tag. JP paid me $5 just to get his car legal and up to Roar weight.. hehe..

John Piant made some major improvements today. Goin from consistant 21 sec laps into consistant 20 sec laps with just a change or 2 to the car. Nice job John!! Don't give up on carpet just yet!! ;)

Mini's were fun too. I think the best fun was after racing when we started to run around the pit wall.. haha.. We can blame Laurie for that one.. :p

Anyways, catch yall next time. Gotta get up early in da morning so Laurie can pick me up...

Oh yeah.. Terell.. nice car!!! And... do you want me to sign you up tomorow at Dur? L8Rz...

[sedanracer8]

hehe what you calling early. going into work at 5 so i can leave early to make it to durham by race time :D

[John Tag]

ROAR 53.7 with transponder rubber and 50 ozs foam ..Yall run light in rubber and heavy in foam...I guess its the sweet tea...

[Ron Zee]

Had a good time with the mini yesterday, seemed to actually run pretty decent. Don't know why it seemed to go faster but if I figure it out, I ain't tellin'!!

Here's to next week!!

[burntslapup]

Ahhh the ole paint scheme! I remember that.

Me do over 60mph? Never.. I'd never do that!! :eek: However I do know that the Miata will do 140 before it hits redline on the way to Logans. But that was the turbo dayz... :D
I didnt know Logans was down hill from Rosewood?? that and you must of had a strong tail wind and one foot out the door to hit 140 mph in that ricer...

[JimmyMac]

And this coming from a man with a V-6 Camaro.... What a waste! You couldn't handle the V-8? Remember we have all seen the video of you going in a straight line with SOMETHING with a LITTLE HP......

[JimmyMac]

Some advice for those who do laundry... always check your pockets before you toss your clothes in the washer. I had a perfecting working temperature gun today at the track. I now have something that reads out funky looking characters on the display screen... haha... :o

[npresme]

just let it dry out....

[chance]

Anyone interested in running mod touring on a regular basis this winter?
If not why? Just looking for some info guys. Thanks

[burntslapup]

shoot with the gas prices these days I'll take the little V6 over that V8 any day, what can I say 350 miles on a 12 gal tank, that's almost 30 miles (29.16) to the gallon...

Like I said before when you have something that goes 0-80 in 1.6 seconds, you dont have any control, your just along for the ride...

[npresme]

Anyone interested in running mod touring on a regular basis this winter?

Chance I will run Mod on a regular basis on carpet this winter...If not mod I know I want to do 19t AT THE LEAST! Now that I can get mods I will be more willing to run them more.

[JimmyMac]

I think the reason there is no mod is because there is not enough drivers to form 2 Touring classes. If there was, I'd be running mod instead of stock. But I'll tell ya what.. if you show up and want to run Mod... I'll run Mod with ya. Don't forget though, I don't wanna hear you whine about goin through a new set of tires every race day.. :p :D

Now I just gotta find a car I can run mod with... :confused:

[chance]

HaHa! You know I'm going to whine about something. :)
Only one day for a set of tires....? I would think that a good track layout would solve that problem. ;)

[JimmyMac]

Wait... I forgot you like to start your tires tall... Okay... I'll give ya 2 race days for Mod... :p

[JimmyMac]

Oh yeah, I forgot... I got a certified letter today in the mail. I guess the "city" thinks my Miata is an abandoned car! So I have to get it off our property by the 10th. Or toss it in the back yard with a manufactured car cover! If not... they'll tow it! haha. I guess I'll have to order my "rag" top tonight. Also, I forgot to put on my 2006 "sticker" on the tags. So I tossed it on tonight. Oh well, gonna have my Dad call them up tomorrow and get it straightened out. If not... I'll just drive it to work on the 10th and leave my Mz3 at home.. haha...

If i had a Miata , i would abandon it too...LMAO

I just found out the guy i slammed into doing 50 cause he pulled out in front of me in Raleigh didnt have any insurance...lol

[chance]

With the off road track out of the picture, will the carpet starting date be moved up into Oct?

[Tarheel]

Carpet opening will be either the 5th or the 12th of Nov. Gary and I may be working out a deal to put in an off road in at Rosewood. If we do, there may be a race on the 5th. Gary is supposed to get back with me soon.

Jimmy I am glad I did not leave my van longer than 3 days when we went to maryland. They would have towed it and crushed it and then sent a warning.I will see you sat. Have a good week.Laurie

[burntslapup]

that's just sad Laurie...

Hey Jimmie I'll take the miata off your hands if ya dont want it no more... My dog needs a new dog house, and the Miata is just the right size for a 3 pound shitzue...:D :D

[JimmyMac]

Damn, where's the love.. haha

Well the Miata deal is squared away. I just forgot to toss on the 2006 sticker which was laying on my head board under a bunch of junk mail. Dad called them up and straightened it all out. But now my Uncle is inquiring about my car..... Hmmmmm What to do.... What to do..... Hmmmm I forgot where I hide my title!!! :confused:

Anyways, I'll catch yall this Saturday. I have more testing to do with the TA05. Looks to be a great car. Seeing as how the 415MSX may not be out til Dec/Jan... I may have to race this car on carpet too. I just can't wait for SpeedtechRC/Xenon to come out with their graphite chassis! :D Now if only I can work out a sponsorship deak with Xenon.... :rolleyes:

[tarheelquality]

Anyone that is interested I am selling my 2 T1R Raycers on Ebay. One is set up for carpet. Give me an email if interested. John North ran 1 at Rosewood and did fairly well with it on the pavement.

[jtn]

looks like it will be a wet day tomorrow......is the new layout down for the carpet yet?

[Billy McCormack]

We running carpet tommorow???

If so , Glenn , do you have foam tires for sell??

Figures , i just got done setting up the TC4 for asphalt and its going to pour all weekend...lol

[Ron Zee]

There's some foams out there, not sure how many or what though. But remember, the mini's get to run on rubbers! Hope some of you guys still have some treads left!

After being "ill" this past week, please watch your weight and what you eat so you don't end up with diabetes like me. This stuff sucks big time.

[axrayed1]

Sorry to hear that Ron.
You know you can be skinny and have diabetes.

[JimmyMac]

Well I say let's run Rubber Tire on carpet. This way everyone doesn't have to go out and buy foams. Just setup the car with 2 or 3 degrees rear toe... and go from there. Best to use traction compound on the tires too. Or you'll slide everywhere. Anyways, that's just my opinion. It'll make for a fun day of racing. Especially if you have a Mini Cooper... ;) Remember, it's the same for everyone!!!

Anywayz... catch yall tomorrow.

[Billy McCormack]

I Say,

Foam = Carpet

Rubber = Aspahlt

That is unless Glenn doesnt have Foams for sell...lol ;) ;) ;)

[Tarheel]

Rain in Goldsboro. Looks like CARPET today fellas. We got foams for the touring cars. TCS rules for COOPERS. See ya.
Glenn

[Billy McCormack]

Great racing today fellas!!!!

Congrats to all the winners

Carpet rules!!!

[Tarheel]

Thanks for coming out today guys. Carpet was fun. Jimmy Mac let me win coopers today. Thanks Jimmy. He had the car. Congrads on your win in stock also. See everyone on the asphalt next week.
Glenn

[jtn]

Yepp, was fun today. Whoever decided to go the opposite direction......it was a good idea!

[Dee]

WOW! Thanks again for letting me race your Mini Cooper in the main tonight, Laurie. Didn't know these cars were so fast!

It's going to probably be sometime in November before I can go back to racing, but I'm going to try this class out! :D

Dee.

[Dee]

Hey Ron, you've got a PM. :D

[JimmyMac]

Had fun today. Coopers was a blast. I finally figured out my traction rolling issue in Mini Cooper Class. Racing with Glenn, Terell, and Thomas for the lead was fun. Terell almost had me at the finish line when he tried to put me in the spin cycle. But my car "rolled" over the finish line before his did.. :D Same with Thomas! Good to see you again buddy!

Touring was pretty good too. I see Mark and John turned up the heat in this class. They had some pretty fast lap times. Looks like this is gonna be a pretty good carpet season coming up.

Well lemme head out.... maybe I'll write down my carpet setup on this "plastic car"... :)

[Ron Zee]

Well, I just got a phone call and this person is also thinking of running the Mini's so Glenn listen for the phone Monday, he's gonna call you. Man, I never thought this class would get so big!! Let's go!!! I LOVE this stuff!!!!!

[Tarheel]

Tag, you have a PM.
Glenn

[scoot]

Sorry about the douce Billy, But maybe the 5 car will work out for you.

Good win yesterday Jimmy ! I hope that monkey does'nt get of your back though.

Hope everyone has a good week ! Laurie

[Billy McCormack]

np Laurie, long shot for sure...lol..o'well better luck next time... :D

[John Tag]

Cool looks like some rug was run..I might be there sat...

Glen back at ya...

[Ron Zee]

Well, 3 more pavement races. Hmmm, wonder if I can get the 415 out there again??

Well, JImmy Wilson's BACK??!!! He bought a mini from Glenn today, and if he can get this Sat. off, he'll be there running with us!! Whhooo Hooo!!! The more the merryier!!!!

[Dee]

Now I've got to get me one too! :D

[DBWalker]

rocketman2---you got pm.

ron zee---is glenn gonna let you awl dryv thimair midjit thangs on the rug? ;)

(my confuser is sick :( , so time on the wife's mochine is limited until it gits better.)

take care guys and God bless.

[Billy McCormack]

ron zee---is glenn gonna let you awl dryv thimair midjit thangs on the rug? ;)

I think he is asking if glenn is going to allow the minis to run on carpet :confused: :confused: :confused:

Yes , he will...They ran them last sat..I think they were 8 of them...It was a blast to watch..Specially the big crash right at the end...lmao

They actually seem to be alot more fun on the carpet...They are alittle slow for the asphalt track..

[tarheelquality]

Anyone running a different M chassis( rear drive?) or is everyone still running the Austin Mini?

[dbracin]

I think everyone I've seen has the M-03 chassis with 1 exception, ol' burntslapup, has the longer M-03L chassis.

[tarheelquality]

Just wondering because I was looking at the M04L with the Alfa or Eunos body

[burntslapup]

Na Terell has a M-03, db your just mad that mine looks better cause it has side mirrows...

[burntslapup]

Na Terell has a M-03L, db your just mad that mine looks better cause it has side mirrows...

[cheerwhiner]

Getting ready for carpet-


Well I plan on comming down every other Saturday to run carpet when the track goes to carpet. A few questions though--

-- which traction compound is the best for the track?
-and just to clarify, when does carpet season begin??

I am planning on coming down a week from Saturday for outdoor action if I can make it and I'll talk to everyone then. Basically every other Saturday I need to work at the store and the weekend between I can race.

Thats all.

[bmelton]

niftech traction compound

[cheerwhiner]

Assuming Glenn sells it at the track right? Just checkin' ;)

[jtn]

Not sure if he has it yet Cheer......but it is what most guys run. I used to mail order it but lately I have been to other tracks that carry it and have picked it up there.

[bmelton]

Assuming Glenn sells it at the track right? Just checkin' ;)
Last he told me was that he had only Jack the gripper and Paragon FX2. You may want to inform him now if you would like him to get some for the carpet season, it's what you'll see in everybody's pit. It's the easiest to use as well. Put in on, leave it for 10 min, then run, no messy wiping or rags.

[Billy McCormack]

that black paragon works well too...the smell is bad though ;)

[bmelton]

it does work great, but glenn does not allow it

[jtn]

it does work great, but glenn does not allow it

ooopss :D

[Billy McCormack]

he did last Sat. lmao...

i didnt know that though,,,glad you told me before i got in trouble...lol

[John Tag]

I got my carpet car 60% ready to go...I plan to run it next weekend..I just hope it rains in Goldsboro so everybody will be on the rug...

[Billy McCormack]

I 2nd that :D

[Tarheel]

Cheer, carpet season opens Nov 5th. Yes we will run MINI's on the rug. I opened an account with Niftech on Brandons and Lauries suggestion and have plenty of compound AND all of their other items on the way. Basically, we don't allow any compound that has a smell to it, ie wintergreen smell. It gives some people head aches. I also have parma and jaco tires coming in for carpet.
Remember, if you get your MINI from me, you get a free race night with it.
Thanks for the questions, hope to see you on the asphalt or the rug soon. Tag says the North-South shoot out is shaping up. Get your entree in soon.
Glenn

[JimmyMac]

I would get my entry in.. But Tag keeps avoiding my question... Tag.. can I hand you my entry the next time you race at the Wood? :p

I'm not sure if Glenn has FXII... I thought it was Traction Action (Paragon's odorless version). Or he may have both... Either way, I've been using Niftech.

Anyways, back to Ghost Hunters on SciFi... they are in Mansfield, OH where I used to live... :eek: haha

[cheerwhiner]

alright if you are getting niftech stuff i'll buy it from ya. Remember I bought the ICE charger from you waaaaaaay earlier this year :D

Nov 5. Ok will work perfectly for me to start then! I plan on entering the Team Express carpet tourney just need to get my paycheck this week before writing a check to John.........

[Tarheel]

Cool, welcome aboard.
Glenn

[John Tag]

Jimmy...yes next time I'm there you can give it to me.....

[John Tag]

Hey all...Entry form for Express race is posted at www.tmxpress.net

[JimmyMac]

I can give it to ya? I'm not that kind of guy Tag... I think you've been having too much fun at the Nats.. :p

[Ron Zee]

Ahhh, the days of cooler weather are coming. God I hope it gets here soon. Hmmm, How many registered in 1/12th scale John?

[John Tag]

No 1/12 yet...lots of touring stock and Minis and few touring mods

[tarheelquality]

John, went to the site and did not see the entry form there. What is it under?

[JimmyMac]

It's there Tom, look hard.... you'll see it in the eXress banner....

[John Tag]

top right corner of home page...click on the express race banner and entry form comes out.. www.tmxpress.net

[tarheelquality]

Thanks John, I had to refresh to see it, unfortunately it looks like I will be on call that weekend so I wont be able to make it, but if anything changes I will be sending you an entry.

[axrayed1]

What happened to posting race results?

[JimmyMac]

I guess no body has asked him to... hehe

[Ron Zee]

The race results from last week are still in ther laptop. Someone forgets they're there,,LOLOL
Guess I wont be able to run 1/12 if there's no entries. At least there's the Mini. Then again, I haven't run the 415 on a rug yet,,,JImmy, will you help me???

[John Tag]

I hear theres gona be a few 1/12 mods so far..

[JimmyMac]

Catch you guys at Logans. George, I'll call your cel after I get out of work... Have a fun day of racing.... :(

[CCapece]

Jimmy, how does the BD do on carpet? Is there too much flex, or does it do fine with foamies on the rug?

[Ron Zee]

No 1/12 yet...lots of touring stock and Minis and few touring mods
Well, I don't know Jimmy, but it looks like I was right! So there!!! :p

Had a blast today with the mini, glad to see Jimmy Wilson out there again. Had the new car jitters, motor not compleatly broken in and such, but did a good job first time out with his new mini. A little more time with it and he'll be up in the pack looking for a win soon.

Stock was fun to watch with all the cars running what looked like pretty good laps.

what, 2 more weeks then it's carpet time. See ya'll later!! :cool:

[JimmyMac]

I hear theres gona be a few 1/12 mods so far..

Actually Ron, you spoke too soon. I was right.. :p You gotta read farther down the page ya Lunk!

[JimmyMac]

Jimmy, how does the BD do on carpet? Is there too much flex, or does it do fine with foamies on the rug?

Chad, the BD in stock class is fine. But in 19t or Mod, there's too much flex. You'd need to get ahold of Mach10Shooter (I think that's his name, something like that) on RCTech. He has a custom chassis with no cutouts and thicker for the BD on carpet. I think it was $90 shipped with top deck too? I seen one up in MD a few months back. It was stiff. Only problem is the car width with foams. It's close to or a hair over 190mm... Actually... lemme check real quick. Oh, and best to use Parma foams due to offset. If you don't... Jaco's will rub on the knuckles unless if you use axle hex shims like the Tamiya ones... Okay, the check showed the wheels are just a hair over 190mm pending on camber and toe. Maybe 1mm over.. maybe. Also, you'd need to run the newer rear 2degree block. Newer version since this allows you to lower the block (take out the shims under the block). The older version sits 1mm higher (I think it's 1mm). Then you'd need to run the 1dgree rear hubs reversed Left to Right... Right to Left.

Anways, when I ran it earlier this year, it was pretty good in Stock. I just wish Yokomo and Tamiya were more carpet friendly. Although I think Tamiya is noticing this after Marc R won the Vegas race in Mod Foam class. So they are actually working on a front diff for the 415.. and maybe a 4mm carpet chassis....

Blah blah blah... hope this helps... Anymore questions just ask... :D

[trm]

Brandon,you have PM

[CCapece]

So if it's over 190mm, then I can't run at a roar race?

Are you talking about the 2* block that comes with the BD? Also, by reversing the rear hubs, would that give me 1* less toe-in then what the rear block is? Like reversed hubs and a 3 degree block would give me 2 degree rear toe-in?

Also, do jaco foams rub on the c-hub or the carrier? Can I dremel the carrier to make them have full steering throw?

[bmelton]

Chad- Parma tires are offset wider than Jaco's. I always have to dremel my steering blocks, but it takes what, 2 secs.

[JimmyMac]

Chad, Parma foams front is like 191mm, Parma Rear is 189mm. I'd be surprised if anyone can tech that close... but ya never know. As for Jaco... yes, you need to grind down the steering knuckle (where the steering linkage connects on the knuckle) or.... cut the wheel down from 28mm to 26~27mm wide... or (I'm tossing on foams on the yok right now and measuring them hehe...) use Tamiya Red axle shims (but that'll put your width to 192mm). It's a pain to run a Yok on carpet. For Tamiya, you just simply use narrow suspension blocks to bring the width down to 190 or less. But if you have a tire truer, some say it's very easy to just narrow the tire down to 27mm. All you need would be a razor blade. Let the tire spin, then carefully press the razor down onto the tire until it cuts that end off.

As for the 2* block.. the BD came with a 3? block I thought. And for the Yok, it's very hard to get under 2degrees since that is as low as they go for aluminum blocks (unless if you use the plastic 1degree suspension block, but that sits too high for carpet). So using the 2degree block with reversed rear 1degree hubs will give you 1degree rear toe. If you ground down a plastic 1degree block and reversed the 0.5dgree rear hubs you'll get........ ;)

[CCapece]

If I'm just looking for .5 degree toe-in, then couldn't I use the R 0degree block in the front and rear mounts for the rear arms, and run the .5degree hubs on the correct sides?

[Ron Zee]

I here they are coming as opposed to they are registered dude. So,, if they're not registered, theres none there. I'm still right.

[cheerwhiner]

with a tc4 and jaco tires you still have to dremel down the blocks a little - Race Factory what the heck incident I had ;)

WELL one more asphault race for me then its foamy rug season with you all. Nov 5 any time now then the big un'. I think that might be it until after Christmas for me unless I'm doing very well down there :D

[Ron Zee]

Looks like I should try to resurect an old gas truck in the shed. You were right John, and I was told by the man himself today.

[jtn]

well, I was only going on what I read on TTT and they had changed there minds 10 times already......hopefully some of them will run with us on carpet this winter. :D

[trm]

Does Glenn keep plenty of stock motor brushes on hand at the track?What are most of you guys running?Reedy?

[npresme]

If you are running stk. touring then you want the "F" brus or either a 767.

If you are running 19t TC then get the "xxx" brush

[scoot]

I got my truck out and dusted off! When is the track going to be built?

Hey...I thought you were selling yours to me? :eek:

j/k....but I am going to start keeping an eye out for a deal on a xxx-nt.

[John Tag]

I got a T4 for sale only 6 race days old $175.00 + shipping :D

[JimmyMac]

I'll only race offroad if we get a class of 4wd Mod out there... :D Nah... I'll probably be working that day.. haha..

Chad, what R 0degree block? Are you talking about a BD or SD? BD doesn't have a "front" rear blocks. They are more of a "single" block per arm (CGM style). They are fixed and don't determine toe. The only blocks on the car that determine toe is the rear/rear block. To my knowledge, they only come in 3.0/2.5/2.0 aluminum. And 3.0/2.0/1.0 plastic. Not even the front/front block is compatible in the rear. So you can't cheat with that like you could on a TC3/4 using the front/rear block on the rear/front.

Hey, I'm not working this weekend. Guess I get to race...

[John Tag]

Track done yet Jimmy...MoJo..Jojooo

[Dee]

Trucks? have I missed something? :confused:

[Tarheel]

Dee, New OFF-ROAD going in at the WOOD. Gary Martins (from ILP)is putting it in with Dave(Landscaper).

Hey guy's, couple questions. What batteries are allowed at the Express race? Didnt the batt. rule change after the trophy race?
Tag, can we run brushless system in mod 12 scale?

Thank's. Tried to make it Sat., was all packed and planned to go after I did a favor for someone. That favor wound up lasting two day's! Probably won't see ya'll until Nov. 19. Gotta get Joe some time in on the rug before the shootout, I think I'm gonna let him run two classes and I will wrench. Anyway lmk on ?'s and I'll be needing some 4 cell pack's Tag.

Later.........Hank

Jimmy, is there a set up somewhere for that thing on the rug?? I'd ask Laurie, but isn't his just that much different than mine?

Chad, what R 0degree block? Are you talking about a BD or SD? BD doesn't have a "front" rear blocks. They are more of a "single" block per arm (CGM style). They are fixed and don't determine toe. The only blocks on the car that determine toe is the rear/rear block. To my knowledge, they only come in 3.0/2.5/2.0 aluminum. And 3.0/2.0/1.0 plastic. Not even the front/front block is compatible in the rear. So you can't cheat with that like you could on a TC3/4 using the front/rear block on the rear/front.

Yeah, I was thinking of the SD blocks :(

Cool! Looks like I need to clean the dust and spider webs off of my XXXT and Nitro Rustler!

Any idea when the off road will be built?

Don't sell all your Mini Coopers Glenn, I still need to get one! :D Should be able to go back to racing next month...

Gary and Dave are getting started right away. He has a web site where he posts whats going on too. I will let everyone know more as i learn whats happening. Don't worry about the MINI. I keep them in stock. Don't forget, you get a free race with it too.

Ron, I thought I gave you my setup I ran at the start of last year? It was good til I started listening to "other" 415 racers from another state.. haha. Should have kept doin what I was doin instead of listening to someone else... Oh well... I know now. If you can't find it. Let me know. I think I saved it on my computer. You can start there and we'll tune it accordingly...

Hmmm yeah, good question Hank. Can we use brushless in 12th Mod? Which reminds me.... I still have to send in my GTX to Novak to replace the casing that I broke up in MD haha...

John T... I was actually planning in doin the carpet track Saturday morning. I'm off this weekend. So I was gonna get there early and get started on it.

Laurie, let me know how early you will be at the Wood this Saturday...

Hmmm which reminds me.. gotta get my cordless drill charged up and ready to go...

Well, we follow ROAR rules right? and brushless is approved for Mod so, I would think it should be ok.....
Tag....has anyone signed up for 1/12th stock yet?

[JimmyMac]

Glenn or Ron, I'm off tomorrow (Wednesday)... so if you want to get started on the new carpet layout... let me know tonight or tomorrow morning. I know Laurie said he was gonna make a few joints (sorry Ron, not your kind of joints.. haha) for the track. But he was unsure if he could make it out during the week to help out on the layout.

John... stock 1/12th? Why not Mod?? hehe I have an 8x2 V2 I could build up for ya if you need one for the class... :D I'm actually thinking on converting my 1/12th scale for carpet. Maybe I can get ahold of an Xenon chassis or something... I'll have to ask Steve Wang from Speedtech if he can get me one... If not, maybe I'll just order up a RC12L4 chassis... Hmmmm

Jimmy, what time is good for you? Any time after 10am is good for me. I have to get my other half settled at the store in the morning for her stained glass class. After that i'm free. If we need extra wood for joints, we can use wood from the bleachers that is coming down. Ron, meet us there when you get off.
