Website needs a list of what is run in the classes. What size engine, electric or gas, ect.

[sedanracer8]

[sedanracer8]

ok i was wrong they have that for the nascar but not for the trucks. anyone know the rules for trucks

[Jat1120]

I rebuilt my first motor, yes, and it runs..

[scott-69]

ok i was wrong they have that for the nascar but not for the trucks. anyone know the rules for trucks
if your talking bout the pro trucksmotor doesnt matter -tires are rubber street tires trucks that are fav. are jatos and rc10 gt

[black3]

One-Eyed Jack,

Well, looks like we can talk again if you check this forum out. Saturday you called me and told me you had something for me now but I still think it will be a second place truck. Hope its not as hot as it was Saturday.

Tricky :p ;)

[Fastdraw]

ok the pro truck rules page is on

Tricky :p ;)
It wont be as hot for me as it will be for you. The second place truck is not going to be mine. I am planning to bring two first place trucks with me Sat.

Well ,technically the motor does matter. .18 Max but I am willing to be flexible if sombody wants to test a 3.3 or a .21 on this track. It will be a real handful, but "Somebody" can probably do it.

One-eyed Jack

[sedanracer8]

what tires are everyone running on the trucks?

[One-eyed Jack]

what tires are everyone running on the trucks? Most of the guys with GT,s run pro-line Striker II or Duratrax. The Jato,s run the HPI Pro compound or the Striker.



One-eyed Jack

[sedanracer8]

do they have them at the track?
for the gt

[One-eyed Jack]

yes they have them at the track If you are wondering about the two dif. names ie Tachie and One-eyed Jack. One and the same. Using two computers and for some reason one has reverted to an old name and I can not change it for some reason.


One-eyed Jack

[black3]

one-eyed Jack

I'll be looking for those two first place trucks,don't give me room on the bottom, because you know the Red 8 will be going around you for first place and that is a FACT. I'll call you Friday. :D :)

[One-eyed Jack]

That is what is good about these two trucks, they only run on the inside line. They go around the track in an egg shape always flying and leaving no room on the inside to pass. The only problem is someone has to drive them. Who can I get?

[black3]

one-eyed Jack

I don't know, I'm still trying to fine some one to drive mine so they will get around the inside. When you fine some one, would you let me know/

[WS602]

Just wanted to let everyone know that we may have a visit by the Goodyear blimp during the race this Saturday. Hope to be in contact with the local newspaper to see if I can get us a write up in the sports section. I'll post more info as it becomes available.

[One-eyed Jack]

Hope it doesnt rain us out on Sat. Get our picture in the paper and everything !!!!

[black3]

one-eyed jack

Is it going to be a Jato or Gt?

[One-eyed Jack]

Hopefully it will be Jato #1, GT#2. I will be running both trucks at the same time. One will be making little circles around and across the lap counter. The one on the track will be there for show!!!!

[black3]

Well I can already see the GT will be # 1, as you are going in circles with that one truck across the lap counter, there will be two GT with your one truck, and the third truck will in front of the other Jato on the track doing its job, any way thats the plan for now.

[One-eyed Jack]

Well, I have rain tires and they all have tread.

[black3]

you got me on that one

[One-eyed Jack]

HPI tires have a v groove to get rid of the water. You have some unless you sold them.

[black3]

Well it looks like I'm back in the race, as I still have those HPI just hard to make them work on my trucks. I don't think it will rain us out, so the GT will be #1.

[One-eyed Jack]

Yeah,right!!!!!

[black3]

Well it looks like I'm still in the race, but I can't get my trucks to work well with those HPI, but I don't think it is going to rain befor we get the race in, any way I hope not as the GT WILL BE # 1

[black3]

Old age. already said it once

[One-eyed Jack]

Hoooollllllddddd on I'm bringing it to you.

[black3]

well we have just one more day to see if it well be a Jato or a GT, so just bring it on Mr. Jato.

[black3]

Talked with Lighting, and said he may try to make it, but he don't like the heat, said we would fans and tents and he could get under my tent, so maybe he will come and run

[One-eyed Jack]

Just hold the rain off and I'm a'coming.

[Ron Zee]

Black 3,,,is that who I think it is?? If it is you Dick, bummer about Smitty huh? Now my little M18 has nowhere to run. Maybe I'll go get some Lipos and a brushless for it.

[black3]

Ron Zee

The last thing I heard about Smitty was that he closed his track down. I tried to get a ready to run--out of the box-- 18 class going but the interest just didn't seem to be there. Come run at the Antique Barn with us every other Saturday. Tell all the old RC racers I said hello.

Dick

[Dee]

Hey Dick.

Dee here, hope the world is treating you alright these days. I'm gotta go check yall out one weekend. I miss oval racing. I used to race my Mini T on the oval at Smitty's track, and had a blast. I miss seeing him around.

[black3]

Rocket Man 2

Hi Dee. I'm doing alright. Running oval at the Antique Barn. I don't remember whether you have a truck or not but if you do come run with us every other Saturday. I tried to get a Mini T class going but just couldn't get the interest in it. I don't know what happened to Smitty. Can somebody tell me???
Have a good week.
Dick

[Dee]

Yea, I've still got my Nitro Rustler. I thought I would go practice with it and see if I can get it to handle. I've got some Proline street tires, I can try. My truck has the Pro 15 engine in it, with a HPI pipe. Has Steve got oval bodies that will fit this?

Smitty passed away a few months ago, from lung cancer. Two weeks after he found out he had it, he was gone.

[scott-69]

bboo

[sedanracer8]

dick,
thanks for the tips yesterday, tried them in my b main and it helped out alot until my rr tire came unglued. should of known better than let rodney glue them haha. anyways ill be back next race, hopefully ill get some practice in before then and get to work on the truck some. i had just gotten it sat night and had to do alot of wrenching just to race it so hopefully i can get better next time.

brian

[One-eyed Jack]

Well Tricky,
It looks like this electrician did not die but I shore have lost my spark. If I dont finish a main soon I am going to retire and save up some good luck.

One-eyed Jack

[black3]

Brian
I'm glad I could help you out. Glad you could run in the truck class with us. See you at the next race. If you need help don't be afraid to ask me.

[black3]

Dee
I don't know if Steve has the body you're looking for. Call the Antique Barn and ask him. Some are running Striker 2s, Duratrax, and HPIs. Whatever works for your truck.

[black3]

Marty
I guess you need to get a new distributor and get the spark back in that Jato 'cause I can't hold the Brown boys off by myself. What did you find wrong anyway?

[Brown91]

I don't know Dick, we're getting better all the time, but you're still faster than we are. But you never know, one day you might have to "pass the torch"!

[Lamm1]

Tracy,
Me & Ricky should have the nastruck ready by this Friday. I plan to practice it on Fri. afternoon.

-Shaun

[black3]

Tracy-Brown 91

I'll be happy to pass the torch on, but not right now. You are running great and it gets harder every race for this old man to stay where I'm at, enjoyed the hard raceing you gave me and it was fun. Got to see if I can fine just alitter more speed befor the next race, as you young guns are getting faster every race. Have a good two weeks. See you Aug. 5

Red 8

[Brown91]

Shaun,
I don't know if me and Lenny will be ready by friday or not. We will give it our best shot, but I am having to work a lot of OT these days. We will see. Until Glenn gets the rules posted on the website you can try and download the word file from my website (I think!) Lets give it a try! Try this:
http://www.easterntechnicaldesign.com/rc/Antique%20Barn%20Nastruck%20Class%20Proposed%20Rul es.doc

[Lamm1]

Tracy,
I got the rules. Thanks! I'll have the truck ready, just need a driver! I don't think I want to run 2 classes every week. Ricky should be able to run a few races, and I might pull "double duty" once or twice.
Shaun

[Brown91]

Yea, I know what you mean Shaun. I don't know if me and Lenny can do it every week either. I guess we can talk with the guys and see if how everybody wants to run it. Maybe we do it every other race week, once a month, or maybe me and Lenny will take turns and switch classes every other race week. Until I see you on the track, here is a preview of what I hope mine looks like when I get done. (well it depends on how this attachment uploads!)

[Lamm1]

Looks good Tracy! Are the carb. restrictors still a go?

[Brown91]

and here is what we hope Lenny's looks like

[Brown91]

I am for them myself, but Scott suggested we just hold off until we see how this goes. He said his handled so well that we shouldn't have a problem controlling them and being able to race close together. Like I said I am for them, but I will support what the majority wants to do.

[Lamm1]

Go ahead and design me one too! Looks like you've got the hang of it!

[Brown91]

hey a yellow and black #1 with the ETD logo on hood will look pretty good!

[Lamm1]

Sounds good to me! now, lets talk sponsorship! LOL I don't know if you want your name on anything i'm driving!

[Brown91]

Hey any advertising is good advertising! Besides, anybody will look good beside me and Lenny! As far as sponsor ship goes, I can't even pay attention right now! Gotta run, hope to see ya Friday!

[Lamm1]

see ya then!

[Ron Zee]

Seems I might soon have 2 Mimi-T's. One is sort of stock with shocks and other little mods,, the other might be all aluminum. Dee should remember it, it was Jimmy's!!

On the sad side, a few months back Lisa's mom got sick and died, and she and Smitty pretty much handled all the stuff. Then a few weeks later they finally find whats been causing Smitty to get sick so often.(that's why the track closed) He even went to his first round of chemo and was very upbeat about it. Lisa told me he came home afterwards saying that "I'm gonna beat this!". But, things went downhill real fast and like 2 weeks later he was gone.

He couldn't drive very good but he would help anybody out as best he could and always was there offering his support. I sure miss running at his track and I know he'll be missed by those that called him friend.

Okay, enough of he sad stuff. When I get a week off from the Wood, I'll come on up there and check it out. All my stuff is electric so,,, anyone wanna run 1/12th's?

[sedanracer8]

ron

rodney has a gt 10 you might be able to talk him into letting u drive.

[Dee]

Hey Ron.

You gonna keep both Mini T's, or are you gonna sell one?

[Ron Zee]

I'll have to keep at least one of them or Ashley'll kill me! BUT,,, the other one might go for sale. I'll let ya know soon,,,,

In the mean time, I got at least one Legend car with a lot of parts for like 25 bucks.

[One-eyed Jack]

Marty
I guess you need to get a new distributor and get the spark back in that Jato 'cause I can't hold the Brown boys off by myself. What did you find wrong anyway?
Trash in the carb or dried fuel dye. The 2.5 carb is the only one that gives me this much trouble. If I had your money "plus mine" I could spend yours on a high dollar motor and use mine for other stuff.


One-eyed Jack

[black3]

Marty
you won't get much of a motor with my money. I guess I'll have to try this 18 again, but I'm not sure yet. Looks like we may lose some truck drivers.
Talk with you later.

[One-eyed Jack]

I don't know Dick, we're getting better all the time, but you're still faster than we are. But you never know, one day you might have to "pass the torch"!

I can not speak for Tricky, but you are going to have to pry it out of my cold dead hand. LOL! You guys did very well. I do plan to come back and maybe I can finish the Main. That is a first x two for me and it really depresses me.


One-eyed Jack

[Brown91]

Now you know how I have felt for the past 2 years! LOL You've just had a bad streak of luck, I just had to take advatage of it while I could. I know you will have'r flying the next time and it will be all I can do just to make it to the "podium".

[black3]

Brown 91
Yes I know how you have felt these past years, but we all have been there, but you both are doing great, but I'm not ready to roll over and give the torch up just yet, but I know the day will come and if you win, I'll be just as happy for you as if I have won. As for old one-eyed jack he need to stay where he is with that Jato and let the GT show him how it is done.

[One-eyed Jack]

I have been showing the GT how it is done for the past year. It's about time you learned how. I have been sandbagging for so long now I have forgotten the fast way around the track. Guess it is time for Tricky's school of fast left turns.

One-eyed Jack

I feel like Wil-e-Coyote with his A-kicking machine. I could have done a better job of maintenance , Not saying I would have won, just finished the race.

Talk with you later.

I will just have to use yours as far as it will go then make up the difference. Don't matter what motor if I can't get it to turn left. I may have to get Killer Williams to set mine up.

[One-eyed Jack]

Sedan racer,brown91,
I see you are online but you are not saying anything. Dont be afraid; be very afraid. LOL

[black3]

One-Eyed Jack
The past is the past, and I can only say you should not be doing this sandbagging as you call it, just bring it on, as the Red 8 willshow you the way Aug.5. As for the motor, well I have one that turns ,maybe turns 1000 Rs you can have thats may help you out, but will also put you in the back of the pack.

[Mac Morgan]

Lay off the Jato drivers!!!

I just got me sum' more motor for mine...maybe too much.

Gonna leave the hi-revin' chit-head motor for the dirt oval if I ever make it over there.

No off-road race, so I'll be there again for the next one.

[One-eyed Jack]

Oh my,
The old red dog think the Sun gona shine on him all the time now. Bark,bark,bark!!!!! I could have bumped your elbow during the Main you know.


One-eyed Jack and all.

[Brown91]

Hey there one-eye! I am not afraid, but I know I should be! I guess it shows that I am online because I do my work with my computer, but I do flip over here pretty often now, so let me have it!

Oh bye the way, has anyone tried running the OS .15cv engine? If so, do you have any comments?

Thanks,
Tracy

[One-eyed Jack]

If you come back they won't pick on me so bad. One Jato vs ten or more GT,s. I know there is a bulls-eye on that truck. I know Associated says you cant beat a GT. They wrong!!!!!!! Put them GT,s out there out of the box and see how loud they bark. That means no Factory Works or other lowering kits and bodies. Yeah I am talking to you Tricky. LOL

[Lamm1]

Hey Tracy, I got my truck painted. Where are my ETD decals? LOL

[Brown91]

Oh yea, I forgot to mention in the rules that there is requirement to run the Eastern Technical Design logo across the windshield where the "craftsman" logo is on the real nastrucks! (just kidding!)

I will have some spare ETDs ready for any nice shiny blank hoods! lol

[One-eyed Jack]

Tricky runs the OS cv,so does Lightning.
Tracy if having the computer on turns on the light mine never goes off. DSL and I leave comp. on because it takes so long to boot up.

[Brown91]

Marty, you mean they have DSL in Scotland Neck? Thats like the edge of the world! j/k

Well how bout some info on a .15cv there Tricky. You got your ears on? Come back. Talk to teddy bear! lol

[sedanracer8]

same with me cable modem its always on. im not fast enough to talk junk yet but just wait till i get back used to some oval :). i learned in racing dont talk junk unless you can back it up . :cool:

[black3]

one-eyed jack you could have bumped my elbow, but I liked it better as a spotter. I see Tracy would like to know about the cv15. Well thats what I'm running Tracy and it is good motor. Just need to gear it right and get the carb. right and it will run good for you

[One-eyed Jack]

Well, Sedan I haven't been backing much up lately. Don't care if you dont talk smack to Tricky he will think you are mad with him. Tracy it is actually one step off the edge. One-eyed Jack

[Jat1120]

Hello all.. I just rebuilt my diff in my gt, after realizing the thrust bolt broke into pieces, the diff just doesnt seem right. If you spin the spur, with motor attached, only the left side spins a few times. Then the right will accompany it in spinning foward. Is this normal, I mean the diff feels really good, but something just aint right. If I hold the spur it does like a normal diff does, each tire in opposite directions. If i hold the chassis in my left hand and spin the right tire, it moves foward but the left does nothing. But then again if I hold the spur gear, the left moves in the opposite direction. I am asking this because I dont wanna drive it and spend more money because I goofed up the diff.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[One-eyed Jack]

Hold the spur in one hand , turn either wheel. The opposite wheel should turn in the opposite direction . Hold the spur and the left wheel; try to turn the right wheel forward. If you can turn it the diff. is not tight enough. Tighten the thrust bolt until it bottoms out. Dont wring it off just snug. Then back it off 1/8 turn. If you dont wring it off when you snug it down you should be close.
One-eyed Jack
PS I drive Jato with a gear diff.!!!!!!!

[WS602]

Congrats to the winners of our July 22 race http://www.theantiquebarn.net/RC%20RACING%20HOME/NEW%20RC%20RACE%20HOME.htm . Next race is August 5. Had some of the best racing ever to be seen at the Antique Barn and Hobby R/C Raceway. Several heats had lead changes on almost every lap. Many of the races went down to the last lap. Had several new faces racing that are going to give the regulars some serious competition. Nastruck class testing is scheduled for Saturday, July 29. Anyone interested should attend to see what the best setup will be. Follow the posts for updates.

Steve

[Jat1120]

Thanks one eye. If anyone has a JR am receiver they would like to sell please let me know. Just in case some1 has one laying around. Im gonna buy a new one prob in the next few days but would rather save a little green stuff.

[slakr]

I dont have an AM receiver, but I have the following for $65:
JR XR3i FM Radio w/ 2 receivers & extra crystals
...if you're interested.

Tim

[Jat1120]

I am def, interested. I am leaving town this weekend but will be racing next sat. Bring your radio and receivers and we can do some talking. If you sell it before then no biggie, but if you dont i'll def take it off your hands..

Jat1120 - sent you a PM with my e-mail address...

[Dee]

Thanks again for the help today, Dick. Enjoyed making a few laps around the concrete oval with the 'ol Rustler. I was surprised at how well the truck handled, just got to get the driver in gear.

And thanks for the info today, Steve. Hope to make it back soon.

Dee.

[Ron Zee]

Hmmm, got a class for an E-Maxx?? It's the only truck I got right now,,,,

[black3]

Rocketman2

I was glad to see you Dee as it has been a while. I don't know if I helped you or not, but your truck did handle good. Hope all goes will with your son. Let us know if you can make it this Sat.

[black3]

Ron Zee

No we don.t have a class for monster trucks, but if you can get three to come and make a class, you'll run.

[black3]

One-eyed Jack

I still think I have something to stay in front of that Jato, and think I can stay in front of Lighting 18. So just bring those truck on. How did you do at the dirt track??

[One-eyed Jack]

One-eyed Jack

I still think I have something to stay in front of that Jato, and think I can stay in front of Lighting 18. So just bring those truck on. How did you do at the dirt track??
Qualified 5th,finished 4th behind Lightning. Had a bad wreck at the beginning and lost a lap to the field. Got it back, moved to second,had another wreck with the leader,lost position, got back to 3rd but I could not hold Lightning off. My truck would not turn in. After the main I changed tires and ran a tank full of gas against 2nd place finisher, lapped him twice. Was afraid to change them just before the Main. Jeff Dunn turned 54 laps for the TQ with your old truck and won the Main. I am bringing a new plan Stan for you on Sat. I am through taking it easy on you guys.

[black3]

one-eyed jack. tell me what your plan is for Sat. so I can try and get ready for you. I was taking it easy on you but I've got a new plan too and I'm going to keep on winning at least for the time being. What do you think????

[scott-69]

boo scared you didnt i

[scott-69]

heloo

[Brown91]

Hey Scott, just wanted to say thanks again for your help yesterday. I know I never would have gotten that thing make it around that concrete circle without your help.

Shaun thanks for your help too, especially the pit work! I took that engine to Lenny yesterday and he had it running before I could make it back to my house. He said the crankcase was full of fuel. Sounds wierd to me, but it runs fine now.

[Lamm1]

No problem Tracy. I can't wait for Saturday! Maybe we can try to hang with Scott for a few laps! If you want to practice anytime this week, let me know I'll prob. be there Friday afternoon, if not before then.

Shaun

[sedanracer8]

i might possibly make it down to practice on thursday evening or friday evening. i have to go out to kenly to southern national tuesday to practice a big car so i hope to run down and get some parts while im down that way. hey dick and everyone else with gt's are you guys running the lowered shock towers with the touring shocks??? also what brand body is that that everyone is running??? thank

brian sullivan

[Brown91]

Brian,
For the most part everyone with GT's are running the lowered shock towers with tc3 shocks. I heard that Gary has not lowered his GT, but I really don't know for sure. Most of the GTs are running the "super mod" bodies made by factory works although I run a nastruck body on my GT. A few others also use the "crowd pleaser" but I can't remember who makes those.

Tracy

[Brown91]

Shaun,

I don't know if I can make it this week or not. I am buried with work. If I find out I can make it, I will let you know.

[black3]

Brian

Tracy told you right on the shocks or you can use HPI short shocks. The front and rear shock towers are made by Factory Works and the bodys is also made by Factor Works. Hope you can make it Sat.

[sedanracer8]

sounds good thanks guys

[Ron Zee]

Crowd pleaser bodies are made by Pro-line.

[One-eyed Jack]

My plan is to win Tricky. Very simple eh. Boo-hoo 69.

[Lamm1]

Shaun,

I don't know if I can make it this week or not. I am buried with work. If I find out I can make it, I will let you know.

Tracy, You better work! Its going to take alot of ETD's money to keep 3 trucks going!lol

Shaun

[Brown91]

I plan to pay for everything with all your winnings!

[Lamm1]

looks like we'll have very short careers!

[Brown91]

Shaun,

post a pic of that yellow and black #1 dodge you have out in the race shop.

[Lamm1]

I can't show everything just yet! Let me tear up my chevy first!

[Fastdraw]

How did the test come out Lamm and Tracy. I havent posted anything on the rules yet. Just waiting to see more on input and practice test.

[Lamm1]

I thought everything went really well. The trucks handled alot better than i expected. I think we decided against the gear rule. We'll see how it goes.
Shaun

[Brown91]

From my point of view, Scott and Shaun were neck and neck. It took us all day just to get mine to go in a circle.

As far as the rules go, it is my understanding that all the rules will remain the same at this point with the exception of the gear rule. We have pretty much decided to toss that one out. With the rules as they are, (and with a good driver) the trucks appear to be pretty stable and forgiving. Net result- nothing changed except for the gear rule, which was removed.

[Lamm1]

Fastdraw,
Did you get your motor fixed?

[Lamm1]

Tracy,
We know you were just sandbagging!

[Fastdraw]

It looked good when I was looking at it. Did Tracy run a nastruck or was yours the only one that has tested so far. Yes and I just ran 2 tanks today

[Lamm1]

Tracy, Scott, and myself all practiced our nastrucks on Sat. afternoon.

[Fastdraw]

Is everyone for the HPI nastruck bodies only. I think Steve was ordering a couple of each make. Ford chevy dodge and toyada

[Lamm1]

i think for right now, were just going to say a "nastruck" body. We figured that time would tell which was the best body.(HPI or Mcallister)

[Fastdraw]

I personally like the hpi body. More to the real truck. Would not want to get into different shape bodys out of context like the nascar cars are. To me the bodys James and Mike run are not really nascar shape. All nascar cars have a trunk that is rounded at the back and the spoiler is rounded with it. Not straight like those bodies are.

[Brown91]

I think the McCallister bodies look more like nastrucks than the HPIs. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

[Lamm1]

I do too, Tracy. Just like the real nascars, the craftsman trucks have lost there "street" look & I think the Mcallister does look more like a Craftsman truck. Just my 2 cents worth. It doesn't matter to me, i'll run whatever the rules say we have to run.

[Fastdraw]

I think you are right but we did see some that had a slanted back glass the role cage but can not remember the brands. The same goes for the high down force bodys. I know it still says its a monte corlo or fusion but the idea is to keep the bodys looking like the real cars

You are not talking much, I hope the HEAT has not gotten to you or you still working on your plan ???. Have a surprise for you and that Jato. Call you Friday, and get ready.

[Lamm1]

Tracy,

Steve got the HPI Dodge and Ford bodies in today. Have you had a chance to work on yours, or is it ready?

shaun

[Brown91]

Shaun,
I have been working from 7:30am to 10:00pm all week. Mine isn't ready, and I won't have a chance to work on it until Sat Morning, so I might not be able to race. :-(

[Lamm1]

Don't talk like that Tracy! Bring it to my house, you'll be ready to race by friday afternoon!

[One-eyed Jack]

One-Eyed Jack

You are not talking much, I hope the HEAT has not gotten to you or you still working on your plan ???. Have a surprise for you and that Jato. Call you Friday, and get ready.
The heat is working on me and my attitude. I am still planning to be there Sat. The surprise will be that I dont get PO.d with my stuff. Got a serious attitude. I may just have to drive it around the track and brake check anybody that gets close to me. Last man standing wins,LOL

[sedanracer8]

i understand the long days been working 12 hour shifts, that on top of my commute im gone from home a minimum of 14 hours. i did manage to get a body and the shock towers. getting them mounted is another story may be another busy sat morning.

[black3]

one-eyed jack, if it will help ,you can drive one of my other truck, I don't think they have any serious attitude right now.

[Dee]

Hey Dick.

My son's cardiac ablation went extremely well at the hospital this week, and we are already home. Unless something unforseen comes up, I should be able to make it Saturday.

Sure hope the temps go down by then!

Dee.

[black3]

Rocketman2

Glad to here all went well with your son,as I know how that is. Like you, I hope the Temp will go down, they say 89. Hope you'll come Sat.

[sedanracer8]

you will be ok Dee just bring your straw hat :)

[One-eyed Jack]

one-eyed jack, if it will help ,you can drive one of my other truck, I don't think they have any serious attitude right now.

It aint the truck that has the attitude, it is me. I was going to buy a used GT to run the dirt with but I think I am going to quit the dirt for a while.

[Jat1120]

If it doesnt cool down below 90 to 95 heat index I'm just gonna run dirt saturday. Been working in this crap all week, and im sick and tired of crazy temps. I felt like the top on my .15 today...

[f1fan2]

I have never ran there.Would like to know the tires to bring,and some gear info.I run a rc10gt with stock motor,with factory works shock towers,tc3 shocks factory works mod truck body. Need some info on rear spoiler an side spoiler height,and any other rules I need to know about.Thanks to anyone who might help. Kinda new to this. Thanks f1fan2

[Ron Zee]

I guess that means no Dee for Mini's this week,,,

What time do you guys start there? If I have enough time after the Wood, I'd like to come and see what's up.

[Dee]

Hey Ron.

I think Steve said they start racing at 12:00.

Just gonna take a break and run some oval. I've had this Nitro Rustler for years, and have hardly raced it any. I want to see if I can float the valves in this Pro.15! :eek:

Now, where is that straw hat..... :confused:

[One-eyed Jack]

ProLine Striker II or Duratrax for the tires. Have not run a Gt in a while so I am guessing 22-64 on the gear.

[f1fan2]

Thanks one eyed jack for the info,maybe this will help get me in the ballpark. Thanks again guy. F1fan2

[sedanracer8]

hey guys
the factory works truck body does the motor head actually go up in the cab when the body is mounted or do u have to cut some out of the bed to mount it??? just wanna try to get it right the first time if possible

[Brown91]

sedanracer,

The engine head doesn't go up into the cab. You have to cut out a lot out of the bed to get the body to mount. (on a GT anyway)

brown91

[Brown91]

f1fan,

I mostly use duratrax with good results. They have a good ballance between grip and wear. The strikers will give more grip and speed, but if you run them on the right side they will be done by the end of the day. I run a 20-60 gear on my GT.

brown91

[f1fan2]

brown91, thanks for your information.I am going to try to be there thi saturday to watch and kinda look around.Hope to meet you guys.Thanks again and if you think of anything else please giveme a message, F1fan2

[Mac Morgan]

f1fan2,

Hell ain't no need in watching! Go ahead and bring it on out. You can't do much worse than I did my first time out. Cart-wheels, flips, even hit a guy in the leg! Did almost everything except catch fire. BRING A FAN!!

[sedanracer8]

Saturday: Partly sunny and not as hot, a few showers or storms mainly south of the Triangle. Highs upper 80s to low 90s. A front sinking through the region will leave us with a northeast wind and a break from the extreme heat today, holding temperatures to near-normal levels and likely leaving any hit and miss afternoon and evening storms over the southern half or so of the state.


sounds like the big stuff might miss us LETS GO RACING!!

[Ron Zee]

Brian the weather man,,,,

[black3]

One-Eyed Jack, glad you won and I have fired the crew chief because he can't remember to put gas in my truck. The next crew chief won't make that mistake again and we will be back. Think all you guys ran good today and we had a good race.
Dick

[Dee]

I really enjoyed the racing today. I was making some progress on the driving and handling, when the motor started going sour. Hopefully, I'll have that fixed, (as in replaced!), the next time I go.

Thanks Dick, for all your help and hospitality.

Dee.

[black3]

Rocketman2

Glad you enjoyed the raceing yesterday and do hope you'll come back real soon. The help and hospitality is what it is all about and have fun. Hope to see you soon.

Dick

[f1fan2]

Thanks for all the hospitality and friendly time all you guys showed me Saturday.I am thankful for all the information I received,will be a great help when I come to pratice.Thanks and looking forward to racing with you guys shortly Thanks F1fan2

Thanks,
Even tho I found that win on the road dead a win is a win. Yeah all you guys did great you rolled over so I could win LOL. That engine will not be bothering me again. Tried the other truck after you left. It ran fine and handled great. Took the trans. apart and fixed what was broke. I discovered that I had the wrong tire on the right front that was causing some of the loose. Got,em both fixed I think.

[scott-69]

boo did i scare you:eek: :D

[One-eyed Jack]

boo did i scare you:eek: :D
No, you were not booing in the same class with me.

[Jat1120]

My luck is the worst in the whole racing world. The little clip that holds the piston came out just enough to lock the motor. Good news is I havent gotta spend any money... woo hoo

[Jat1120]

Wow this is even more weird, I thought it was the clip, I pulled the motor apart and saw deep scares, but the clip was fine. Then I looked at the bottom of the head and the glow plug looks like plastic after its burned. It was white and 3/4 was missing. Crazy stuff!!!

[Mac Morgan]

If those "deep scars" were in the cylinder wall or piston sides, you gotta get your wallet out.

[Jat1120]

Not this time at least, I gotta extra piston and sleeve..

[Fastdraw]

Race Results Are In Guys. Check Out New TRACK Record By Dick On Track Facks. I'LL WORK ON NEWS PAPER TUE OR WED.

"Track Facks"

Learn to spell with Donelle. ;-)

[scott-69]

mmm glow plug looks melted??? toooooo hot red hot that is:mad::d

[One-eyed Jack]

Tricky,
Let me look after your fuel tank. I will be sure you have just the right amount. Tighten the wheel nuts,be sure the glow plug is tight,charge the batteries. I will make sure eeeeverthing is "Just Right"

[Fastdraw]

We Need A Name To Call The New Truck Class. Nascar Truck Just Dont Sound Right. Maybe, Super Trucks, Street Trucks, Rc10 Trucks. Need Some Feedback.

[black3]

One-eyed Jack, you can be sure everthing will be "RIGHT" for the race on the 19th, as the new crew chief said "NO" mistake on anything. Glad you won, but just have that Jato ready as the GT will be back.

How about what everybody else calls them...."NASTRUCK".

[Brown91]

how about ETD trucks? lol, gotta love the shameless self-promotion!
Glen, I want to hear everyone's opinion, but I think "Nastruck" sounds good to me.

Tracy

[sedanracer8]

hmmm i think that could work with about a 10,000 dollar points fund put up for sponsorship by ETD. :)

[Fastdraw]

Nastruck sounds ok with me also. Will have the news paper on this weekends race up maybe by 9:00

[Lamm1]

I agree, Nastruck sounds good. ETD nastrucks with a $10,000 points fund sounds even better! Hey Tracy, I still haven't gotten that sponsorship check that we talked about!lol

Shaun

[black3]

Brown91

Tracy, I'm like Lenny, I need to talk with you about sponsorship. Mybe I can get in on some of that $10.000 points fund. What do you think ?

Dick

[Brown91]

Well guys, I might be able to put 10,000 into a points fund, but they would have to be pennies!

I don't know yet, but I may try to do something for the nastrucks at the end of the year since it won't be considered a legitimate series by the barn. I don't know, maybe some prize money or a glow plug or something! ;-)

Dick, you win so much that you don't need any sponsorship money. You're living off your winnings right now! Hey as a matter of fact you need to spread the wealth!

Brown91

[black3]

Brown 91

Tracy, I don't know about living off my winning,as these trucks will put you in the poor house. I did spread the wealth at the last race as you did. Old one-eye Jack won.
Sorry to here about the sponsorship, I'll just keep looking.

Dick

What can I say ? Last man standing wins!!!! I say, I think I can win one on my own now. You guys just played dead so I would get over my bad attitude. I really do appreciate that.

[black3]

One-eyed Jack

"NO" more playing dead. Glad you got over your bad attitude, and you had a good week. Are you going to the Barn Sat.? I may go as I have something I want to try and see if it will work. I'll call you tomorow.

Most likely I will be there right after lunch. I plan to race at the Alley Sat. night. I hope once was enough to jump start me . I changed the motor in that truck and changed the setup. I'm pretty sure it will work ,just don't know how quick the motor is.

[Ron Zee]

you guys gonna be out there tomorrow? Rosewood is off so I thought I might stop by,,,

[henryj]

Hey Ron, stop by the other track on your way home, I'll be there. Joseph is not going so I will be making my RC oval debut. Later....Hank

[One-eyed Jack]

Ron I am planning to be there around 12, Dick said if he could get away he would be there around 12:30.

[burntslapup]

WOW old one-nut won a race!!!!!! hmmm guess you can teach a old dog new tricks :D :D :D

[Fastdraw]

I was just fitting my truck body on for nastruck and notice that 3 1\2" works good on deck lid. Just wondering how some of yours are measureing up.

[Lamm1]

Glenn,
My truck body is sitting dead on 3 1/2". Are you going to practice tommorow?

Shaun

[Dee]

I'll be there around noon tomorrow. Gotta buy some parts, and decide on what to do about my motor.

And I picked up another Nitro Rustler this week. Somebody made me an offer I couldn't refuse... :D

[Billy McCormack]

Hey Ron, stop by the other track on your way home, I'll be there. Joseph is not going so I will be making my RC oval debut. Later....Hank

I thought the worms had eaten you by now. Guess they were not up to the task. When are you coming back down and race with us? At least you have a job the last I heard. I'm still sucking air.

[burntslapup]

you suck air??? I thought you were just a old blow hard :D yeah I'm still making dirty movies for the City

got rid of the truck and sprint, but I might ride down every now and again and hang out. ne ways good luck at the races one-nut

[black3]

How did you make out last night on the dirt with that GT??

How's it going Steven? Did you get rid of that TR I traded you? If not I may want to buy it back from ya.

[sedanracer8]

micheal if it is the one that was in his sprint car i have it. sprint car is stripped down for parts and i plan on either getting a second truck so i will have one for antique barn and one for thunder or im getting a custom works sprint. ill probably use the tr on which ever i get

brian

[scott-69]

i see you :D

[Fastdraw]

Shaun, If You Would Could You Make Me Some Numbers. I Need Two Sets For A Car And Two Sets For A Truck. White Numbers "28"

[One-eyed Jack]

one-eyed Jack

How did you make out last night on the dirt with that GT??
TQ with 53 laps, got knocked out by lap traffic. Trying to pass a truck that is out of control is like trying to drive a greasy nail, you get hit yourself. Thanks Slapup this old geaser is still trying to go fast and every now and then I do.

[One-eyed Jack]

i see you :D
Bad Scott you can't see me I have my eyes closed.

Brian, I don't know which one he put on the sprinter. The one I was talking about had the black crankcase. If you want another truck, let me know, I'll hook you up.

Michael

[black3]

Glad you got TQ. Lap traffic can get hard to get around at times. Need to get a GT for the Barn, How did Lighting make out??

Dick

[Mac Morgan]

Need to get a GT for the Barn....

I hear the tire bill to keep the GT's up front is kinda pricey.

Mac Morgan

Mac Morgan

Mac. If you want to win, you may have to pay. I take my winnings and buy my tires.
Can't get HPI to work on my trucks.

[Mac Morgan]

"I take my winnings and buy my tires."

Even if you re-use the rims, your still $15.00 bucks in the red. But then again, we are not in it to make money!

And as far as spending money to go fast, I've become all too familiar with that concept. I just recently spent a little again.

[Brown91]

Is it just me or do we need a forum of our own for the barn? This thread is going to get longer and longer, and I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it is starting to load slower and slower. Maybe the barn's web host offers a free forum that could be set up (I know mine does) or maybe we could use something similar to "yabb" to create our own forum. That might would drain the barn's bandwidth, I don't know, but it does look like we need to do something. But thats just my opinion, I could be wrong. ;-)

[One-eyed Jack]

Mac Morgan

Mac. If you want to win, you may have to pay. I take my winnings and buy my tires.

Now that is not altogether true Tricky. The right front tire is an HPI.

Mac Morgan
HPI Tire Owner
It didn't take you guys long to forget who "The Points Champ" is. And the HPI tires on that truck have over 2000 laps on them. 32 bucks divided by 2k is .015 a lap. LOL :D :eek: :rolleyes:

[Brown91]

anyone planning to run nastrucks saturday? I know we have 2 for sure. We need a third! Shaun? Scott? Glenn? James? anyone?

[black3]

One eyed Jack

You are right and I'm sorry. I told a story and again I'm sorry. The HPI won't work on the good truck, there is a HPI on the right fornt of the other two trucks. As you know I have try the HPI in both the compound and I'm going to try them again on the truck I'm putting together, but that truck won't be ready until the race in Sept.

Dick

Hey man, I haven't forgot a damn thing! Especially the tire bill, when it comes to the Jato. I saw the Brown boys burn up a brand new set of tires on those GT's....in less than one race day....on EACH TRUCK!!

Made me that much prouder to be a Jato kinda guy.

[oval racer]

hey guys, i hope you have fun this weekend. i will be at the .09 series race in fox mountain. i will be back on the 2nd, w/ "nastruck" in hand.
good luck to everyone!!!!
and no cheating dicky!!!!!lol

I am pretty sure you have seen the last of the Brown boys burning up a new set of tires! ;-)

[black3]

Brown91

What are you trying to say??

Dick

[sedanracer8]

well i hate i cant make it this weekend. had planned to go to kings dominion this weekend a while back. maybe next race . and hopefully i can get in the a this time. i think i could run fast enough last time just still having trouble keeping truck together. has anyone seen the gt2 that is listed on the associated site. looks like longer control arms and looks like the kickup on the front of the chassis is gone.

[scott-69]

james not going to be at the track sat.:)well thats one burden of my chest:Dhey one eye here one for you;):D

[scott-69]

are we running the nastrucks sat i got a driver for mine he running my truck im running the nascar classsee you sat.:D

[Brown91]

whoohoo! sounds like we got three for nastrucks!

Black3,
I'm headed down the HPI path, good bad or ugly! Probably just run nastrucks this weekend though. I will probably need all the free time I can get just to keep that thing running!

Brown91

There will most likely be some Good, Bad , and Ugly before you get it right. Once there the tire bill goes down.

[black3]

Brown91
I can't believe you're going to give up 2nd place in the points and not run the trucks since you're doing so good.

Dick

[sedanracer8]

what is the big difference with the hpi tires??? i ran two weeks on tires and the rears are worn but the fronts are still pretty good. of course i probably only ran half as many laps as everyone else.
brian

[oval racer]

Poor sponsored driver has to go to all the big races. It must be tough LOL.

YEA, BUT SOMEBODY HAS TO DO IT!!

IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL PROBABLY BE ABLE TO MAKE THE REST OF THE RACES THIS YEAR. I MAY RUN THE GASCAR 500 ON OCT 7TH, BUT THAT SHOULD BE THE ONLY CONFLICT.

BTW, I WILL PROBABLY RUN "SOME" NASCAR AND "SOME" NASTRUCK, SO POINTS WILL NOT BE ON MY MIND. JUST HAVE FUN AND TRY TO "WIN". I WILL DEFINATELY BE RUNNING NASTRUCK ON THE 2ND, AFTER THAT WHO KNOWS? I MAY RUN PRO TRUCK ONE WEEK, JUST FOR FUN. THATS IF I CAN FIND A GOOD RIDE? HEHE

I TELL YOU AFTER RUNNING THE CUSTOM WORKS SERIES AND THE RC-OVAL.COM .09 SERIES THIS YEAR, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH POINTS RACING FOR ONE YEAR. HOPEFULLY I CLINCH THE .09 POINTS THIS WEEKEND, SO I CAN GO TO THE LAST RACE IN EASLEY,SC ON SEPT. 23, AND JUST HAVE FUN. WE'LL SEE!!!

SCOTT, I EMPOWER YOU TO CREW CHIEF FOR MY BUD, TERRY, FOR ONE MORE WEEK. HEHE

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, AND BE SURE TO KEEP "ONE EYE ON DICK" LOL!!!!

The "doing so good" part is about to break me. I figure I've got a couple of bye weeks, so I am gonna blow one this weekend and just play with the nastruck. I will be back after I get some of this work off my back and get a chance to test on the HPIs. Don't write me off yet!

Tracy

[Mac Morgan]

Harder compond than the Proline or Duratrax. I've heard tell they never wear out. :rolleyes:

But on the negetive side much less grip. The short suspension travel of the GT's prevents them from working as good as they do on the longer traveling (and more foregiving) Jato's.

My $0.02

[One-eyed Jack]

Thats right when the tires have to do all the work they dont last long. If you could get the gearing in a Losi it would do very well with the HPI tires.

You ever treated yourself to new set of strikkers on your Jato? You would think is would be the fastest thing on the track.....but I've been wrong before.

Hope you do good this week end. LOL!!!

Dick

[One-eyed Jack]

You ever treated yourself to new set of strikkers on your Jato? You would think is would be the fastest thing on the track.....but I've been wrong before.
I have run Strikers and Duratrax. They both work well and require a slightly different setup. They still wear very fast. One race day for the right side, two to three race days on the left side. Speed and or lap times same.

[One-eyed Jack]

Scott I just broke 100 post. You better tighten up and catch up.

I'll have a talk with Dee befor the race and see what comes up. Did yoy get everything worked out on that Jato ?
Called Lighting, and he said he may run with us Sat. Give him a call. I'll call you tomorrow sometime as I'm having trouble with this S-10 pick-up

I don't know if I got it worked out or not. I made some changes on the dirt truck. I would like to see the dirt Jato do better. Maybe my number one truck will do OK Sat. The backup is still a little loose. Wait til you see the size of that Anaconda tire. I only have two for the front now. It will probabley take an .18 or a .21 to pull these tires.

[Fastdraw]

Has everyone looked at the Nastruck rules. Made some changes today. Would like to hear from everyone thinking about the class for some input and thoughts.

[Brown91]

Glenn,

I am OK with everything except the following:

1.4 airflow cut outs-I am OK with this in the future but currently I have a rectangular cutout and it's dimensions may not meet this rule. The way I see it anyway, is that the bigger the cut out, the more drag and less downforce you have, so a larger one may hurt more than help. Maybe it allows you to run the engine leaner, I don't know. But again, I am OK with this rule for the future.

1.5 No other cut outs allowed- maybe include an exception for the exhaust

1.10 Side dams- we had decided that the side dam rule was opposite of what you have in the diagram. I will be OK with this in the future however.

1.11 Spoiler width- I see that it is a good rule to have, but currently everyone has agreed it shall not exceed the body width. Again, I am OK with this in the future.

4.1 Tires- In order to keep control on costs, and to make sure no one ran a "special" tire, it was initially decided by everyone to run the same tire, which was take-off or RB

To sum it up, I think you did a very good job of clearifing the rules for everyone, I just think we should hold off enforcing the body rules for a while (at least until me and Lenny tear up the ones we have! lol), but if everyone else is OK with the body rules, the next generation of bodies coming out of the Brown body shop will comply.

Thanks for the hard work Glenn!

Tracy "Brown91"

Black3 and One Eye.

The new "part" came in today, and I now have it installed. Thanks for the tips on mounting the flywheel and clutch, it went on with no problem.

Someone else I think told me this was a "bolt in", well, yea, after grinding the mounts and chassis, and top brace, THEN it would bolt in!

I'm gonna try to make it Saturday, but I'm really gonna have to hustle to get the engine broken in and tuned. My son is in his school's band, and they have a football game tomorrow night, so I'll have to try and get up earlier Saturday.

Dee.

I agree Brown91 about most of the rules as far a enforcement. Most will be on trial and error to maybe work the bugs out for next year. About these rules and my input. Most of the rules I took off Nascar page with changes

1.4 Air cut outs I see no problem
1.5 this hole for sure is ok ( I just did not have it down. Nascar either)
1.10 This was meant so if you wanted to mount the spoiler on the correct way you could add the side dam to the spoiler. But I understand mounting the spoiler on backwards using the support for the dam as Scott had on his truck. Will work on better diagram in a little bit.
1.11 Spoiler lenght on the stocks HPI's is 5 7/8" Was just trying to keep it simple without adding more to it by using the stock spoilers that come with the truck. But you can angle side dams and get wider.
4.1 the tire rules was just taking off the nascar page and forgot to delete the other. was only in there because of the other track in the other series

But as the first line in the rules pages says, RULES SUBJECT TO CHANGE and they will as we go alone
Thanks for the input Brown 91

Well Tricky,
You ran out because you did not fill it and I have a gas hog. I will make the appropiate mods to see that it dont happen again. I qualified 2nd and Lightning 4th at the Alley. Lightning finished "1ST" and I finished 2nd. " THATS THE LAST TIME I ASK LIGHTNING TO PLAY" Beat me out twice in one day. I aint having that LOL.

James,

All I can say is that I loved it! Me and Lenny were talking today about how we can't wait till the next race. It was very fun even if I did tangle with with my brother in the main. Everyone is so equal and they are so stable that it really makes for some fun racing. I think 3 out of the 4 of us even posted the exact same fastest lap of a 5.00 flat. We even went 3 wide a couple of times while practicing. I know you will enjoy it too if we can just muster some competition for you.

Glen has listed the rules over at the barn's site. I think we all agreed that there is some flex on the body rules until next year, but being that you hardly ever wreck, you may want to make sure it meets the rules he posted. Just remember no .15 size engines! ~ain't that right Glenn? lol just ribb'n ya! :-)~
