Glenn

Are you going to be running indoor offroad every week at all, if so do you know when? Just wondering, as for the shots its not as bad as it sounds and It did wonders for me.

[Tarheel]

Can't say as to the WOOD running every week end or not at this time. It kind of depends on the crouds. Last year we did because the crouds were 70-80 drivers every week through the real cold months(Jan-Mar), so we will wait and see. it makes track maintenance very hard to keep up with every week, but I will agree to go every week if the crouds show like last year. According to the vote earlier this year as to keep the track or put in a carpet track, we had hundreds voting to keep the dirt. So we will see how it goes. i would love to race every week end starting in January if the crouds show.
:)
Glenn

ps. Thanks for the info on the shots.:)

[chance]

Well....in an effort to get my racing "fix", I've started putting my truck back together. I guess I'll be running a truck this week.

Anyone still planning to show up early for some track maintenance?

Jeremy, long time, no see! You going to make it to Rosewood this weekend?

[npresme]

Jerry and myself will be there early for some track work!


Anyone interested in a xxx-ke or xxx-t mfe?


If not I am not going to haul them around, to much stuff as it is! LOL

[jeremymoemorris]

chance

how are ya buddy thought I was moving in Jan but orders fell through and not leaving till Aug yeepiii.....Sorry I wont be able to join you this weekend going to SC with the wife for TG wont be back till Sun. However, will be at the next indoor offroad on the 14th see you there.

I do have someone interested in the MF is it a roller and what are you looking to get for it? any interest in a trade for a hopped up MAXX

[npresme]

The mfe is a rolling chassis I have a body for it but Jerry is using it until our bodies come in from Skipgear! I was looking for $100 but that may be negotiable!

Not looking for a trade! I have 2 buggies and 2 trucks a 4wd and a gas truck. I am just looking to get rid of some of the ones I am not using!

[Bodido GT]

Prepare for some of our VA crew to be down there for some racing Saturday. Josh K, Jady B, Ryan C, Derrick (Dirty D), and myself. Looking forward to it. Haven't been down since last winter.

We might show up early enough to help some with the track as well. When are you guys getting there? I don't want to be there before everyone else.... Long drive and all, Don't want to get up any earlier than necessary... ;) I read Ronzee's idea of filling in those steps on the tabletop and maybe that dropoff from turn 2 as well. I think that is a great idea. I think that it would remove allot of luck from that section. Turn marshalling there would be allot less stressful as well. Just my two cents.... I'll help regardless.

You think there might be any interest in mod truck? There may be 4 or 5 of us wanting to run it. We'll come prepared to run stock OR mod, just in case. Hopefully some of you guys might be up for it as well.

See you fellas soon....

Chad

BTW

Just read that Paved nationals is in Durham (I believe)..... Freaking cool!! With Mod off-road at Tiltyard and this next year is gonna be a killer year to be on the right coast.

[npresme]

We try to get there around 9 to work on the track! Not sure about Mod truck! But I would be up for some stk. buggy!!


Tell Bo Duke its on!!!

[npresme]

Bodido- There is no luck involved now at the table top if you have any skills at all!!! We filled in the bottom so there is a landing there now also put a lip on the table top so you can jump off of it! All the table top needs now is, there is a hole on the run up that will kick you to one side or the other! That needs to be filled in! Filling in the whole table top is going to be a job for more than the 3 or 4 people we get before opening and I am not sure if we will have enough GOOD dirt to do that! The faster guys had no problems with the table top and some of the new guys got it after so help with set up and a few driving pointers!!

[JWEST]

Glad to see ya comin down.... Looks like a good turnout this weekend... Mod is fine with me, just would rather run against more than 4 or 5...Bigger classes always seem to make it more fun.....

[npresme]

Bigger class also means more money for me!!!! LOL

[chance]

No stock buggy for me:( , I've already pulled the electrics and got the truck ready now, even changed the mud...I mean oil, in the shocks.

Might be interested in trying mod truck, never run mod, only got one el-cheap-o machine wound motor. I could help fill the class anyway!

[jeremymoemorris]

npresme

thanks for the info on the truck I will let my bud know, don't hold it or anything. he just showed a bit of interest.

if anyone is interested in a loaded T-Maxx and has a good T3 or XXXT setup the would like to trade it would be great. We could always use another entry in Stock Truck if you have one laying around (Ron)

[henryj]

Hey what's up everybody. What spring and shock oil combo did you guy's run on the LOSI truck's last time out. Joseph will be running the xxx-t in stock, and I'll have the T-3 in stock also; it worked pretty good last time we ran, maybe I can hit 15 lap's with a smoother track now.
Thank's in advance for any Losi help, and we're still gonna try to be there early for track maint.
Anyway's JIMMY 27, GLENN, don't ya'll eat to much today and I'll see ya'll Saturday, looking forward to eating some dirt:D :D :D
Bye for now, Hank and Joseph

[Ron Zee]

Well, I know that filling in the tabletop is some work,, heck, it took me like 5 or 6 wheelbarrows of dirt to do just that little on the bottom of the thing, which did make a definate improvement. But,, if it was all filled in, if we wanted to, the track could be run in both directions.

Now, to all you out there, if you'd like to try a class that's not as easy as some think, come and try running Spec trucks. Most think of this class as a beginners class,, it's not. It's a cost control class. Cheap batteries and motors makes for some interesting runs. Yeah, they can go fast, but with maybe 1300 packs, gear too high and you dump. something to think about,,

Well, I'm talking to the boss, and maybe there's hope for me and Sat.'s. I might be able to persuade him to let me work in the mornings, leaveing the afternoons open to run the 'puter.,,,, Well see,,

Later,, it's tinme for turkey!!!:D :eek: :cool:

[Part-time]

happy Thanksgiving:D

[rc4me2]

is there a nitro touring class at your onroad track?

what about a 235 mm nitro class?

and what are the tournouts like for these (if you have them)

...and how large is the outdoor onroad track?

thanks

[JWEST]

Ron, Ron ,Ron...lol....lol.../

We put about six more loads of dirt on the landing area before you even showed up that morning... All you did was watch after you got there making comments about what you didn't like.... You want be happy until its carpet anyways.... If you want to fill in the table top go for it... Good Luck...

[Tarheel]

Jimmy27 is going to open the track at 9:30 for those that want to do some track maintenance. I'm going to try and get there around 10 myself. I did'nt find a truck yet, so i quess i'll have to wait another week.:( Looks like good weather for racing tomorrow. Hope to see you there.:)
Glenn

[JWEST]

Glenn, Anthony S. has a XXXT MF edition he wants to sell, maybe you can get it pretty cheap....

See ya in the morn.....

[Tarheel]

Hey, that sounds right up my alley. Tell him to bring it, if the price is right, it's sold.:)
Glenn

[henryj]

Hey guy's', had a blast last night. Joseph got third in the main:p ; and I picked up the win:D :D My run was'nt pretty but it is'nt over till the bell sound's and I just happened to get there first. Anyway, Joseph was running consistent 14's all night; and I finally ran a 15 lap qualifier:eek: woohoooo!!!!
Good to see you again Phil, looking forward to some good buggy racing in the future. I know of two other fella's that will be running the buggy's some this winter, so watch this forum and we'll keep you posted. Boy modified was fun to watch last night, there was some heavy hitter's in the house and they were flyin :cool: Hope to be there again in two week's.
Well let me go; JIMMY 27, just a little bit more gas there at the end and you would have had that race, sure was close.
Bye for now, Hank

[Tarheel]

It was a great night of racing. Congrads to all the winners. Had fun racing Ron's truck and hope to have mine going soon. Hope everyone else had fun as well. A special thanks to the track maintenance guys and the guys from Virginia. Thanks guys for comming down and hope to see you all in two weeks. Next week end we're on the asphalt again. Good racing by all.
We need input on the time for the "WINTER BASH". Don't want to clash with any other big race. Let me know whats good for you and we will try and schedul the race to fit as many as we can. I know we can't please everyone, but we will do what we can. This year's race will have trophies and cash and ??? Don't miss it.
Again, good racing by all and congrads to all the winners. See you next saturday.
Glenn

[chance]

Hey Tarheel, I have an idea for the "WINTER BASH". Maybe you could hire about five people to be corner marshalls for the day. I think five would be enough, two on the front straight, one on each side of the table top, and one on the wall next to the pit area. They can rotate stations after every heat race to keep from getting worn out.

Now, where does the money come from? Glad you asked! Say you have 75 enteries, if you add just five dollars to the entry fee, that's 75 dollars per marshall for the day. I don't think five dollars is going to "make or break" anyone. If the entry fee is 25 or 30, what's the difference?

Here's the best part. What does the racer get? An entire day of racing without ever having to marshall a single car. PLUS...and here is the real selling point, for marshalls, hire some of those nice ladies from...HOOTERS!!!!!!

What do you think?

[LEADFOOT]

that would be H :eek: :D terific!

[npresme]

Why would I want someone that is not a racer to marshall my race!!! Racers need to marshall racers! But just my $.02!


But if Glenn can get the Hooter's girls I would pay $5 just to see them run and bend over to get my car!!! H*** I would wreck just to see that! I guess I want win the bash if that happens!! LOL

Congrats to all the winner's! I know I saw some new faces in the front of Stk. Truck this week! I know they were glad there was a mod. truck!

[JWEST]

Winter Bash any weekend after the first two weekends in Janurary (some of the VA guys will be in Columbus Ohio those weekends)

I know Snowbirds are early Feburary, so maybe after both of these events would be better......

[Ron Zee]

Jwest,, actually, I'm in favor of eliminating the thing totally and replacing it with maybe a set of doubles like in the middle of the track. The one thing that absolutely needs to be addressed on the table top is,, the board the runs the width of the thing along the lower "step" of the tabletop. My truck and a few others happen at times to hit it just right, and it'll stop your forward motion dead, and in my case, the truck bounced off of it, backwards! The board was put there to help "Hold" the dirt on the lower step, which is why it's raised up a little bit. THe raised part is what is snagging mine and other trucks.

And,, I hope you don't think I was complaining that day,, I think of it more as ,,, "constructive critizism".:D You guys did a lot of work on the track,, and it needs it. Besides,, I think I did make a comment like,," you guys are doing the work, who am I to bitch??":) Maybe the next offroad race, I'll be able to get there earlier and actually hep out with some of the repairs. But, you know how Glenn likes to keep me up in the 'puter room,,,,

God,, I had so much fun watching 10 Mod. trucks run,, it was hard to call any of the race!! 10 trucks started, and 9 finished. I don't know about you guys, but thats seems pretty darn good to me.

I'll post the results soon,, forgot the floppy in the toolbox,,,,:(

[JWEST]

It takes me a little under 3 hours to get to the track, so I can't be there except on race days, so tearing down the table top would have to be done by some of the local racers....It is a good idea though... Only if the jumps put in its place was something new to the layout, or just an improved table top.... It's hard to build jumps to accomadate all skill levels and the speed of mod versus stock... So if new jumps are built these things need to be kept in mind.....

[LEADFOOT]

Why would I want someone that is not a racer to marshall my race!!! Racers need to marshall racers! But just my $.02!

Actually, to be technically correct, you have to be a ROAR member to marshall a race.

[npresme]

Leadfoot-that is only if the race is ROAR sanctioned! But good point!

[rc4me2]

for your new onroad track, will you be racing nitro touring?

and what about 235mm 1/10 nitro?

thanks

[LEADFOOT]

You're right Anthony.

But it just stresses your point about marshalls. Racers know (well, should know) the proper way to marshall a race. You can't properly do the job if you've never been on the other end (screaming).

rc4me2,

Click on the www button on Tarheel's posts. It will take you to the track 'site. The class list is on the home page.

[Part-time]

Marshals alls I know is that no matter paid or not whoever marshals needs to do it like its them who crashed. There is a certain person who raced there last season that took his own sweet time getting to crashed vehicles. Is that mfe xxx-t still for sale or did you buy it Glenn? Anyone looking for a Factory Team T3?

Rob

[Tarheel]

Zak got the MF xxx-t. But how much for the T3? I just need something to race in spec.

rc4me2- Go to rosewoodrc.com, all the classes listed there.
Hope it's good weather saturday.:)
Glenn

[Ron Zee]

Right now, Rosewoods setup on the road course is a little technical,, so the faster "super nitros" would find the track a real handful. "Normal" sized nitro tourers seem to getting by pretty good though, but the 1/12th scale cars do turn faster laps. Then again,, it's like driving a car with 30' wide lanes to them,,,:cool:

Glenn

I need a set of tx and rx crystals for an M8 on 27mh any channal. Could you have a set for me for the 14th?

Still have a buddy dying to get into the stock truck action will trade a very hopped up T-MAXX for xxx-t or t-3 setup.

[JimmyMac]

Hey Glenn, what time is racing starting this Saturday for outdoor asphalt? Anyhow congrats to all the winners for the race Saturday. Looks like indoor is starting to pick up. I should beable to race the next one... hope to see yall there!

Jimmy Mac

[Part-time]

When is the next indoor? 12/14? Glenn do you still need help w/ the track maintenance? What time will the track be open if you do?

[Tarheel]

Kilruf, The track opens at 10am this saturday for asphalt TC racing and we start racing at 1pm. How'd cleveland go Jimmy? Heard you did pretty good. See you saturday.

Part-Time, Yes we still need help with the track maintenance. We open for maintenance at 9:30am, normal opening hours are 12:00, start racing at 3pm. If you would like to help, come by at 9:30 and Jimmy27 will let you in. Next off road race is next saturday, not this one but the next one. We appreciate any help we can get and you will get free racing for the day. Thanks and hope to see you there.

Glenn

[jeremymoemorris]

Glenn

Any way to get those M8 rx and tx craystals in the above post.

[npresme]

Ron- When are you going to post the results on the web site? I wanted to see some of the times for the mains!

[Bodido GT]

Well... I must admit. We were slow.... Sad but true. As a whole our VA crew had our heads hanging real low at Denny's that night. At least til the Oreo pie made it to the table. ;) We were really hoping to lay the smack down on you guys, but it just didn't happen. (Chad tips imaginary hat towards the south) You guys spanked us for the most part. Even Josh couldn't really put it together... Normally he's the saving grace on road trips.

Jerry West is fast!!! I guess you guys know that though. 16 laps in that much traffic is freakin impressive.

An added note on the main.... Everyone seemed to play real nice!! I was pretty worried that a hackfest was unavoidable with 10 in the main, but it seemed real clean considering the crowded track. That was just my perspective, though. It could have been ugly up front, and I wouldn't have noticed, however. I was busy clawing my way from dead last, due to a first lap incident with my bud Ryan at the banking dropoff.

Mod is a ton of fun on that track... That was only my second mod race, so I don't have too much experience to back it with, but what a blast. It's a whole new ballgame when you only see full throttle on the straight, and not for very long, either. I was waaaay overmotored with a Peak 10 double, but I ran what I had, and smiled allot!!

Thanks guys

We'll be back
Chad

[rc4me2]

first off, do you run indoor (and outdoor) year round?

how do you alternate schedules?

how large is your outdoor onroad track, and what is the surface like (smooth, high bite, bumpy, etc..)?

and on indoor offroad...do you ever have a turnout for 4wd buggy??

thanks

[southbornracer]

ortis--you going to be running at rosewood this sat? if so would you bring that RC10L3..man hate to give your charger back,,that thing is really nice.:D i really appreciate you letting me borrow it..that is probaly going to be the next thing i get..jimmy told me that now the reedy quazar pro comes in an even smaller case...it worked perfect for what i wanted to charge my batteries at...

tif and me will be there this sat running spec, stock ,and 1/12 scale if enough people show up.looking forward to trying this high numbered monster stock .;)

well, talk to ya'll later...............billy

[Tarheel]

Jeremy, sorry for over looking your post. No problem on the crystals. 27 mhz. I will order them right away.

Rc4me2, We race indoors one week end, then rotate to outdoors the following week end. The outdoor asphalt track is high traction and smooth. The layout we have at this time is somewhere in the 700 foot range. No we don't have 4wd on the indoor track yet, but you never know. A class might jump up anytime. We are racing this week end on asphalt if the weather permits. Are you racing?

Chad, thanks for comming out and racing with us. You guys did'nt do bad. Yea, JW is fast, but anything can happen, you know that.

Glenn

[Ron Zee]

I was gonna say I posted the results,, but then when I went to look for them,, for some reason, Mod got left off the page. Trying to fix it now,,,:confused:

[JimmyMac]

DAmn, I have to work Saturday! I might try and make it though. Depends on the crowd I guess. If I can get off early enough, I might beable to make the last qualifier and main. We'll have to see with this weather!

Cleveland sucked for me! Well I did have fun and learned alot! But I did bad. Now I have a setup for carpet (after the fact) but I'll be much better prepared for Snowbirds in February. This time I'll also race 1/12th instead of sitting around all day waiting for my 1 heat to come up. :D

Anyways, chat with yall L8R....

Jimmy Mac

[Tarheel]

I'll make a post Friday night about racing saturday. Trees are down in Goldsboro with ice every where. Weather man says warmer today. Hope this is all gone by saturday. We want to race.
Glenn

[jeremymoemorris]

Thanks Glenn, I thought you had overlooked it. I will be there the 14th.

[chance]

I still think they would have made nice marshalls :(

Anyone got any ideas for repairing turns 1&2. They seem to grow buggy eating potholes. It's going to be hard to patch because the dirt is so thin on the banking.
How bad would it be to strip that area and put new dirt down. Or do we need to just patch as needed to get through the winter?

[Tarheel]

Chance, i would like to clear the banking wood from one and two and make it flat. But it would take 5 or 6 guys to do it. I could get the paneling for the inside walls like we did the rest of the track. But like I said, it will take 5 or 6 guys. The alternative is keep repairing untill summer and fix it then. I will do what everyone else wants to do.
Glenn

[rc4me2]

yes, ive looked at the website...and liked what ive seen

my ?...do you forsee racing a 235 mm onroad class anytime in the near future?

thanks

[f1racefan]

Come to a race and ask around. If there is enough interest we can run any scale from 1/18 thru 1/4. We try to run under ROAR rules were practical so you will be prepared for racing anywhere.
I have asked for 3 rule deviations for the Reg and Nats because our track can handle the haorspower.
See you at the track
Don
Sorry I answered in the wrong forum. Rosewood would also run any class if enough interest is shown.

[rc4me2]

are you from the rosewood track?....your last comment made me think you were speaking for some other track, and then rosewood

[Tarheel]

Sunny skies and at least 50 tomorrow. THE RACE IS ON. Come out to "THE WOOD" and get your TC fix, I am. Hope to see you there.
Glenn

[rc4me2]

what time do races start tomorrow?

i'd like to come check out your facility if you plan on having a semi-normal tournout (im coming from wilmingon)

thanks

[Tarheel]

RC4me2-Check out our web site. Rosewoodrc.com
All the classes and times listed there.
Open at 10am, races start at 1pm. Three qualifiers and the mains. Indoor pits with AC power, plenty of lights if it gets dark. You might want to paint your car a bright color though for night time racing. Hobby shop on site with parts and cars. See you there.

[JimmyMac]

Glenn, if you get this, registor me for Stock TC. I "might" make it out for one qualifier and a main. I'll have to call to make sure. I'll be at work, but I'm gonna try and get off semi early to make it out for the end of the race. I don't feel like changing my setup, so I'm gonna be running a carpet setup. :D Oh yeah, I need to pick up a truck body for my T3 as well..... hmmmmmm what else.... I dunno. We'll see.

Jimmy Mac

[Tarheel]

Sunny today and at least 50 degrees. Come on out if you can make it.
Glenn

[Dougefresh]

What time does the off road start racing next weekend (12- 14- 02), and what time do the doors open? What are the rules for spec off road (motors, batteries, etc.)? Hope to make it next weekend.

Doug T.

[Tarheel]

Doug, The indoor track opens at 12noon and we start racing at 3pm. Spec trucks run the Trinity spec motor and the 6 cell spec battery. You can run any truck, spec just refurs to the class not the truck. Come on out and join us. Check out our web page for additional info on times and schedule. We also post the racing results on the web page. Rosewoodrc.com
Maybe we'll see you there.
Glenn

[Dougefresh]

Glenn- Thanks for the info. I was looking into the spec class for my son, but I don't know if I will have time to find a spec motor. He can just run stock truck. If I run stock truck and mod truck will I have time inbetween heats to change my motor? Do you guys allow 3300 batteries? Thanks Glenn.

Doug T.

[JimmyMac]

Well looks like outdoor season is coming to an end huh? hehehe.. time to dust off my T3. Looks like I'll have to save my TC and 1/12th for Virginia Beach and Jacksonville this winter! Glenn, I'll be by the shop Monday to pick up the Paint and T3 body. Guess I gotta get my T3 ready for this Saturday...

As for 3300's... Glenn sells them... so he allows them. I've ran them there as well as other people. Very nice batteries! Oh yeah Glenn, did you see Trinity's new Spec Batteries??

Jimmy Mac

[Tarheel]

Doug, don't worry about spec motors. We've got them at the track. Yes, we sell 3300's and allow guys to use them. They will be ROAR aproved in January anyway. Hard to say if you will have time to swap motors between stock and mod. Depends on how many heats there are and which heat your in.

Well guys, you missed a great day for racing at the WOOD today. Oh well, quess everyone is doing honey do's and shopping. If you guys aroung the triangle still don't have power, my sympathy goes out to you all. I know how it feels. Hope everything gets fixed asap.

Jimmy, yea i heard about the new batteries. New spec batteries comming out, 1600's. We don't really need them, but they will be nice to have if you want them.

RC4me2, not getting on your case. Come out and run with us when you can.

Glenn

[chance]

Too cold for me to be out, my blood is thin!

Concerning 1/12th scale, it looks like most places run 4 cell. Do we need to go to 4 cell at Rosewood too? No need to be odd, if people from other tracks show up, they are more likely to be 4 cell anyway. What do you think?

[chance]

No banking in 1&2....sounds like fun. Can 5 or 6 people do it in one day? It might be better to just patch for awhile till everything is ready.

What if...remove the wood bank and run the track down to the wall, making a short straight along the back wall with a double or table top. Just have two 90 degree turns with something in the middle, that way the track won't be the same at both ends.

[henryj]

Hey everybody, I sure would have liked to have been there; but I had to work, Joseph had B-BALL camp, and I've been sick on top of that.
Doug, I've got a spec motor that Brad at MINDBLOWN just tuned for me; don't need it now as my son want's to stay in stock classes. He drives so great I cant tell him no. Anyway's, I got the motor, 5 spec batteries, and a XXXT that I need to sell if your'e interested. Let me know here on any of it.
Hey Jimmy, what setting's do you use on the 16 x 7 to charge your GP-3300's, and to cycle them? Thank's for any help! Want to ask a few thing's about carpet setup's when I see you next. I'll try not to bug you too bad though.
Anyway's ..........see ya :D Hank :D

[Tarheel]

Chance, good idea about the two 90 degree turns with a jump in between. 5 or 6 guys could do it in a week end, but i don't know if this is the time to do it now. Indoor off road season is here now. If we got 5 or 6 FIRM volunteers then we could. Maybe just do the repairs in turn one and two for this season and then do it in the summer. What ever the drivers want, i game. ;) See you this saturday on the off road.
Glenn

[chance]

It's something to think about for next year. We'll just have to patch for now.

[Part-time]

henryj: how much do you want for the xxxt?
I'll be there this Saturday. What time is the track going to be open for maintenace Sat? I think you told me 9:30 Glenn, but I wanted to make sure.

Rob

[henryj]

Hey Parttime, actually I have two that I could sell. Looking to get Joseph a buggy since that is what they run at some of the big races that have a youth class. Anyway's, I'll take $75.00 for one, and $100.00 for the other. Both are roller's with good tire's; holeshot's of course. First truck is mostly stock, has bearing's etc..Second truck has lunsford turnbuckle's, light main shaft in tranny, and a lightened motor plate. This truck only has three run's since I rebuilt the tranny, new case on tranny also. Anyway's I could take them Sat. , but I can't stay, got another family get together Sat. evening. I got to be good cause I want Santa to bring me an MX-3 for Christmas :D :D
Anyway's let me know..........HANK

[jt queen]

Glenn when will you have new 4 cell spec batteries. I need some
more 4 cell batteries I ran 32 laps at sandhills Saturday night and got a 2nd out of three racers. I borrowed batteries for the main and it made all the difference. Do you have the instruction manual for the hyperdrive 500?

Terry

[Tarheel]

Jt, i can get you new batteries if you want them. You might want to wait though because they are comming out with new spec batteries within the next month. They will be 1600's. Just let me know what you want and i'll get them for you . Yes i have a set of instructions for the 500. Congrads on your 32 laps at sandhills. Sounds like you are on your way up to stock. Any comments on the Rosewood body?

Rob, we open for track maintenance at 9:30. Should have a good crowd this week end.

Chance, I think your right on the changes.

Glenn

[jt queen]

Got a lot of comments many had seen the body in the showcase some even knew Dennis . I did not get to run it because i did not finish cutting the fender wells and body mount holes. Was a small
crowd but some great racing I am learning and got good comments from Mike russell on my progress. The Jacksonville crowd was there with their 1/12 scale "what rockets they were".
Did I leave the rear tires at rosewood for the hYperdrivewer not in box I thought they were there Friday night.

Terry

[Tarheel]

Don't know if you left them there or not. We'll look this wednesday when we're out there working on the off road.
Glenn

[Ron Zee]

Well, I've decided to not screw around this weekend.Jimmy and Bob are gonna have to fight it out for second cause I ain't waitin' for nobody this time!!! Then again,,, I do need rear tires,,,,,

Anyhow, sorry to hear about the turnout Sat. It would've been a great day of racing. Looks like it'll probably end up being one of the last good weekends until spring. But, I will be hope the weather holds,,,

Hey Glenn, there you go,,, If Hank is selling both trucks,, you got a good shot of getting one for yourself!!! Then again,, what's he gonna drive??

Oh, on the wall,,,, I think that Dave still has his Saws-all. That would make removing the banking a lot easier than unscrewing the boards,,,, Should I find out???

[Tarheel]

Ron, got me a T3 saturday. i hope to have it ready for up comming week end. Hold off on the saw untill spring. See you this week at the store.
Glenn

[henryj]

Hey Ron, I still got a T-3; will probably get another one if both truck's sell. Then all my car's and truck's will be T-A.. Will still be getting the B-3 also, maybe two; who know's. That's the tough thing about Joseph and I both racing, we both gotta have one, he he:p
Anyway, I probably won't make it back until after Christmas, did'nt realize we had so much planned.
See ya.......Hank

[npresme]

Henryj-I got a xxx kinwald buggy not sure if you wan't a Losi or not but the buggy has not been ran that much!! I will let it go for $100 if you want it let me know on here! I have to work Sat. but Jerry is coming down he could bring it!

[henryj]

NPRESME, Hey man that sound's good; main thing is to get some buggy experience right now. I won't be able to race Sat. but I will be able to stop by for a few minute's, got to be somewhere at 4. Anyway's send it down and consider it sold.
Thank's ....Hank

[Part-time]

I'll be at the track all day Sat. Consider one of those xxxt sold.

Rob

[jeremymoemorris]

anyone looking for a tmaxx, I'll be bring one to the track on the 14th. Very nice, wants $240 RTR let me know if your interested.

[chance]

Anybody running stock buggy?

[blake whitehead]

anthony,is jerry sure he is coming this sat.If so ill plan to come.

[JWEST]

Blake I'll be there...

Chance it is possible I'll run buggy just depends on turnout....

[chance]

Jerry, I'll "pencil" you in!
Phil...you out there? Are you and Wayne planning on running this Saturday?
Brad...you out there?

Come on guys, Glenn has two nice B3 buggies for sale...

KilRuf, my 12L3 manual states for a 24 degree stock, 26 pinion and 75 spur, thats 48 pitch. It does not state if thats with 4 or 6 cell. I don't know if cell count matters.
I should have an esc by next week, then my 1/12th car will be ready to race again. I don't have any 3300s, but I do have some 2400s that are 4 cell and should be good enough.
I want to visit that track in Jacksonville, I think it's the closest to us. Let me know when you want to go, maybe we can get Billy too. My Expedition should have room for us all, if you want a ride.

[Ron Zee]

Fine, I didn't want to go anyhow,,,:(

Went to the "Birds site and they have an entry counter for the classes at the "birds along with a list of registerd drivers. I'm on it!!!! Looks like I'm really gonna go!!! So far, Me and Jimmy Mac in one car,,, who else???

This weekend at Rosewood is offroad, and come on Glenn, I'm a waitin',,,,:D

[chance]

Thanks Ron...I feel real good about myself now.:(
Ok, none of you get to go now! j/k
Jimmy Mac has, or is getting, the info about the track. Lets see what he finds out, then figure who wants to go. I'll take as many as my truck seats, if yall want to ride. And yes, Ron, you too!

I'm still waiting to see if anyone can put a 26T (48 pitch) pinion on a 12L3 ;)

[JimmyMac]

Hey guys, well picked up my T3 body from Glenn today. I just have to paint it someday.. haha... Anyhow, I'll be running Stock Trucks. Glenn, would my blue endbell handout motor be legal to run in stock truck? hehe... Man I have alot of work to do to that truck to get it running again.....

Chance, I'll post my findings about Jacksonville on the Durham forum. And thanks for the 1/12th info. I just need some Gray rears for the 12L3 and I'll be set.

Glenn, I'm seriously thinking about getting that Graphite Plus from ya!!! Although I hear they are coming out with a Yokomo MR4TC Special v2! hahaha.... sheesh... it's just a hobby and I like buying and putting together new cars.... Maybe I should just keep them this time instead of selling them off.... Then I don't have to switch back and forth!! :D Blah blah blah, let me head out. See yall Saturday!

Jimmy Mac

[henryj]

Hey Part-time, I'll take them by sometime Sat. by 12 I hope. Gotta do some work, then a family cookout at 4 I think; but I will get by there. I'll see you then.
Probably be there the 28th if we run then. My daughter is gonna have her 13th birthday party next Sat. [weeeeee!!!!!!!!] Boy I'm getting old fast; my dad told me this would happen; anyway, gotta lot of thing's going on around Christmas to do, then back to some racing.
Hey Phil, we will have the buggy on the 28th ready to go, so count us in for stock buggy then for sure. Oh well I gotta go to bed it's late. Bye for now......Hank

[npresme]

Henryj- No prob. I will send it by Jerry ... Or I may be sick and skip work!!! LOL

[Tarheel]

Well Jimmy Mac picked up his secret weapon today. I'll let him tell you what it is.

Ron, come by the store when you can. I need help setting up my T3.

Jimmy27, your new FT TC3 is on the way bud.

Hope to see a good crowd saturday.
Glenn

[nomac]

are you racing touring or off-road?

[Tarheel]

Nomac, we are racing off road this week end. Come on out with your T3 or XXXT and race with us.:)

Glenn

[JimmyMac]

I have a new 4TEC!!! SaaawEEEET!!! Too bad I can't race it til Asphalt season.

Jimmy Mac

[Tarheel]

Jimmy, I forgot to give you your free race day for buying the car from me. Remind me saturday and i'll give it to you.

Glenn

[Ron Zee]

4-Tech my butt, you got the god awful graphite thing didn't you???:cool:

[Tarheel]

I'm not telling? lol.

Glenn

[Part-time]

Glenn, I just wanted to remind you to bring those bearings for me on Sat.

Thanks,
Rob

[lowbugit]

Hey guys hope everyone is having a good holiday season. Glen I was wondering if it would be OK to go to the outdoor track tommorrow afternoon. I have a new engine to break in and I really prefer to break one in on a track. I would be more than happy to pay ya for that opportunity next time I see you guys. Thanks and good luck everyone at the birds. Kevin Mac.

[npresme]

Glenn- are you planning on running the weekend of the 28th? I need to race one more time before Ohio and I have to work this weekend and am off the 28th. So if I need to get sick in the next few days I would like to know now!!! If you run the 28th I think my HEALTH will hold out 'til then!!

[Tarheel]

Npresme, we do plan on running the 28th. Come out and race with us if you can.
Glenn

[nomac]

tarheel

thanks for the invite. but my t3 is like// wowus me! my buggy is in fair shape though. just need rear rims & tires. (rims are scarce around here and ACRC in level cross is like a ghost shop. does rosewood have a lot of wide ae rims? what rubber/insert combo is popular with b3 buggies? at ACRC in greensboro(God rest it's soul) i ran of x-2000's silver and red compounds with pro-line dual stage buggy foams. when the tires start go bald i would cut them open and use dual stage truck foams. my favorite front tires were losi diamonds ( now discontinued-snif snif) and pro-line radious ribs. i also custom made some losi front tires called the "big asserz". they were wider than the old wide-fives from pro-line a few years back. and they worked too!:D

[jeremymoemorris]

I will be there to run stock truck this week. would anyone be willing to cut a few comms for me this weekend?????

[Tarheel]

Nomac, we will probably have buggies this week end also. The crowds are getting larger as it gets colder. Hole shots work real well on trucks and buggies. Ribs work good on the front. We have rims for ae in stock here at the track. Come on out and have some fun with us. Look me up when you get here. I'm the old gray headed fart in the parts room. I just got an ae truck myself and maybe i'll get to run this week end too! I know it's a ways from Greensboro, but we would really like you to try the "WOOD".


Kevin, we have had a lot of rain lately. I don't know if the track will be dry or not, but come on out and try.

Glenn

[nomac]

tarheel

what's a good time to get there? i wanna front row seat for the festivities.

[Tarheel]

Nomac, some of the early birds get there to do track maintenance about 9:30. The festivities officially open at 12:00. So any time before registration closes which is 2pm is good. We have enough pits for 85 drivers right now, but i doubt they will all be taken untill January. Soooooooooooooooo, come on down. :)

Glenn

[chance]

Anybody planning on showing up early Saturday for track maintenance? I'm sure there are a couple of potholes that need filling and it could use a good sweeping, if nothing else.
I think most of the surface is in good condition. Just need to get some clay packed into a couple of problem areas.

Glenn, it sure would be nice if we had another push broom or two.

Jeremy, I'm no motor man but, I have a lathe and I'm not scared to use it! The more you cut off, the lighter and faster it gets, right! ;)

nomac, several tires will work, most use holeshots with firm foam. I think Phil ran bowties on his xxx last race, they seemed to work good for him. I've seen X2000s used also.

[nomac]

phil who? phil rash? heeeeyy man! i used to race dirtoval with him back in the early 90's! if you see him tell him pete say's hi.

speaking of dirt oval,,,, does anybody know the wheelbase(axle to axle) and width (with wheels on) of the intimidator, dominator, or the enforcer from customworks?

[npresme]

Pete, Pete, Pete.. always tring to be different!! You know that if you show up with that same Junk you ran at Charlie's it aint going to work anyways!! Just come on out and race you know you will be fast with what every you bring!! Get you some hole shots with some firm foams and race! Quit tring to be like Kinwald and making "your own kinnda tires"! Btw those radius ribs are A**!!!! Get you some Losi red's or some Pro-line m3 4 ribs!


BTW-this is Anthony.

[blake whitehead]

Calling Jerry West. will you be at the track early.If so what time,also bring that 2wd.If you still dont have a speeder,ill lend one to ya.Anybody else that has a 2wd bring it truck is getting old and the track is better suited now.:D



Npreseme,dont you feel a little peekish now.come on :(

[npresme]

Blake I don't think I am going to make it this weekend!! Did you get that e-mail I sent you??

[nomac]

hiya anthony!! you need to stop talkin to me like that! you know i'm married! (you're starting to make my head turn burgandy!)
naw but seriuosly though my wife works for the cable place so as of the last couple 'o weeks, i've been babysittin'. but if they cut her overtime for this weekend i'm there!

[Part-time]

Chance: I'll be ther with my buddy at 9:30ish to do some maintenance.

Rob

[Tarheel]

Rob, your charger is in.

[chance]

Rob, that will be good. I think mainly we need to patch some potholes.

nomac, I have an Enforcer 10, I think the specs for wheel base and track are the same as the DD car. Axle to axle with 1.5 degree mounts is 10 3/8 in or 265mm. Front width on the axle flange that the inside bearing goes against with the arms level is 7 5/8 in or 194mm. Rear width from drive pin to drive pin with the 1.5 mounts and arms level is 7 1/2 in or 190mm. I'm using rc10gt rear hub carriers, they widen the rear 1/8 per side and have a higher camber mount location.
I gave numbers with no tires because of the different offsets of different rims.

[nomac]

chance
you are a life saver!!! my chassis was broken about 7 years ago. from what i have, i guess i threw away the front half and kept the rear half intact. i would love to put the enforcer/intimidator back together and run cooper's at least ONCE before they close the doors again.

[JWEST]

Blake, I'll bring the buggy....

I have my V6 to run in it so I don't need to borrow, thanks anyway....

I'll run buggy if there is a good turnout, would hate not to run truck because I know there will atleast be an A and B main....

I will get there around 12, can't make it up there early this week....

[Part-time]

Glenn: SWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTT:)

[jeremymoemorris]

Thanks Chance I should be there early enough to help out with the track maintnance as well and If I remember I will bring a broom.

[Tarheel]

Chance, going to try and get by lowes today if i can get away from the store and buy an extra broom.

Well Ron is putting the electrics in my truck for me since i don't have time to. So it looks like spec truck this week end for me.
Thanks Ron.

Hope we have a good crowd saturday. CYA

Glenn

[Ron Zee]

Yeah, I'm working on it,,, right,,,

What he don't know is that I've crossed wired all the electrics to go up in smoke when he pulls the trigger !!:D

Hey, maybe I'll bring my buggy too,,, Would I run the Monster Buggy in stock or mod??:confused:
See ya'll tomorrow

Ron Zeee:cool:

[Dougefresh]

Anybody have any ESC's for sale. I am looking to get one. Let me know what you have, or bring it to the track tomorrow. I will bring my XXX4 too, if anybody wants to run 4wd. Thanks.

[Tarheel]

Doug, I have a used Tekin. I forget the numbers on it but i'm sure it works. $35.00 if you want it.

Glenn

[Dougefresh]

Glenn- Thanks, bring it tomorrow. I am looking for one with no motor limit. See ya tomorrow.

[Tarheel]

Doug, you got it.

Come on out and run some off road today if you can folks.

Glenn

[chance]

Wow, had a ton-o-fun! Let's run indoor again next week!:)

[Part-time]

I have your bearings. Sorry I forgot all about them. When will you be at rosewwod next? Or do you want me to mail them to you?

Rob

[jeremymoemorris]

Sounds good to me chance, Good run today you finally worked all the bugs out to bad about that crystal, maybe next time

[jeremymoemorris]

Sounds good to me chance, Good run today you finally worked all the bugs out to bad about that crystal, maybe next time

[jeremymoemorris]

Sounds good to me chance, Good run today you finally worked all the bugs out to bad about that crystal, maybe next time

[jeremymoemorris]

sorry

[Tarheel]

Thanks for comming out and racing at the "WOOD" today. Hope everyone had a good time. Congrads to all the winners. We need to get the buggy class built up some. Had a good field of stock trucks though. i quess i'll stay in spec a little longer untill it gets bigger, then i can move to stock. Anyway, next week on the asphalt if it's warm enough. Have a good week and we'll see you later.
Glenn

[JimmyMac]

Wow, what a hack fest in the Truck A-main huh!! hahaha. Well had fun for my first time on dirt since Spring. Now maybe I can get the truck hooked up with some tips from Chance (thanks). We'll see next run out. This time I'll have the truck ready instead of putting it back together at the track... haha (yeah right). Well Congrats to all the winners! Hope to see yall next time.

Glenn, if you get another GM motor box save one for me. Thanks again... Let's see how the turn out will be for next weekends outdoor race. Anyhow.... chat will yall L8R

Jimmy Mac

[chance]

Part-time, just hold on to them. Are you planning to run the next race at Rosewood? If so, I'll get them back then.

KilRuf, a couple of weeks ago, Glenn was looking a truck to race, you should have traded with him for one of those buggies he has. ;)

[JimmyMac]

Had I known, I might have!!!!! Well if the offer comes up, I just might...... Of course this means you'll have to help me with a setup! ;)

[Tarheel]

Jimmy, I'll trade you a nice B3 for your T3 if you want to go buggy. I have 3 buggies to choose from. 7th out of 22 is not bad though. That's the top 30%. Remember this was your first time out this year on the off road too. It gets better as you go along. But i'll still trade if you want a buggy.

Ron, thanks for setting up my truck. It ran great, I just need to cycle my spec packs. Good calling job as usual.

Jimmy27, thanks for your help calling and the parts room. We just need to work on your volume. I think we will turn it down when your up there, and turn it up when ron goes up.

Driver of the night: Jairo Ortiz, he's a natural. Just started racing off road this year. Has only raced a few times and finished 2nd out of 22 stock trucks. My hat goes off to Jairo for great driving. It only gets better from here Jairo.

Hope all had fun weather you won or not. If you missed it, wish you could have been there. Great racing by all and good pizza too.

Hope to see you saturday on the asphalt.

Glenn

[Part-time]

Chance I hope to make it out for the race on the 28th.

Rob

[Part-time]

Glenn When are the new spec packs going to be in? I found them listed on Trinity.com but noone has them for sale yet. Are we going to be changing motors too? I would like to get a couple of packs and a new moter or two but if there going to change I can wait.

Rob

[Tarheel]

Rob, I heard they were comming out with the new 1600 spec packs but they haven't released them yet. I will stock them when they do release them. Haven't heard about a new motor comming out. But if they do, i will stock it also. Good race last night . My truck was fine, i just need to cycle my batteries. Hope the charger is working good for you. See you soon.

Glenn

[jeremymoemorris]

Glenn

If you can get ahold of one of those Novak switch's for the M-8 in 27mhz let me know.

[JimmyMac]

Hey Chance, shoot me over a good setup for a Buggy. I'm gonna take Glenns offer on a B3 since I have 2 trucks as it is. Any tire suggestions? Inserts, blah blah blah.... my email is @yahoo.com. Thanks. Hey Glenn, I'll try and stop by the shop to talk over the swap with ya..... Also, can you order individual parts like say one black spring, or one type of spur gear? I need certain parts for my XXX-S and would like to try and go through you instead of off the internet. Anyhow, I'll talk to you about it at the store. L8Rz

Jimmy Mac

[JimmyMac]

edit

[Tarheel]

Jeremy, I will order a 27mhz switch Monday. If they have them, it will be in friday.

Jimmy, No problem on the parts. Let me know what you need at the store.

Glenn

[Ron Zee]

Man, that was a good Spec race last night!! Even if I didn't win, I'd still say that. I came off the drivers stand with my hands shaking, God what a race!! So, close to leading,, he'd bobble, then I would,, going back and forth,, last lap, pulled it out. Actually, I didn't think I'd catch him at the end,, but he went that little bit extra wide after the E-turn, and for the first time all night, my truck actually found a little traction and hugged the inside of the turn. I just hope that I can maintain that level of coolheadedness down in Fl. at the Snowbirds.

Glenn, do you happen to have sets of bearings foe the T3/B3?? Found 3 of them a little less than smooth tonight. seeing as they're the original ones,, maybe it's time to change 'em all. Might want to stock up on sets for the TC3 too.
Too bad you didn't run mister Wilson,, you might've gotten by me,, your truck does seem to go quicker than mine,,,,,,:cool:

[Tarheel]

Ron, good race. No problem on the bearings.

Glenn

[npresme]

Jimmy Mac- look me up on the 28th! I have a set of blk. losi xxx-s springs unopened you can have!! Just looked in the box to see what they were and your luck they were blk.

[Tarheel]

The "WOOD" was almost broken into between saturday night and monday morning. The window was broken out and the plywood was broken also. If you hear of anything, please let me know asap, and if your in the area, please keep an eye out for the place. I don't need to tell you what would happen if i get robbed AGAIN this year. Thanks.

Glenn

[JimmyMac]

Thanks Npresme!That was one of the things I was looking for! I'll look ya up at the track.

Anyhow, what's up with all this track breaking into lately? First Durham and now this? You have a window at the "wood"? Is it the one by the door with uhhhhh Garfield? Or some stuff'd animal. Hmmm gotta re-enforce that then! Gotta be kids or something. Well you know a few that live around there... so hopefully they'll have their eye's opened for ya. Gotta get the outdoor lights fixed..... Bo!!!! Anyhow, I stop by the store and give ya that list Glenn.....

Jimmy Mac

[Tarheel]

Steel bars are in the works. It's a damn shame what you have to go thru to prtect your bussiness. They busted out the light too. It's in the works also. I only hope i don't get robbed before they are fixed. See you at the store jimmy. I've got the buggies there now. See you tomorrow.

Glenn

[henryj]

Sorry to hear about that Glenn, alot of that going on right now. We have had our share of it over the year's too, so I know what you feel like.
Anyway, who's gonna run what this Sat. I have all my stuff in pieces, rebuilding and whatnot, so ya'll let me know. Look's like the next few Saturday's I'll be able to go somewhere ;) Anyway I can setup for stock TC, or spec also anybody want to run any 4-cell 1/12 scale, look's like that's what you'll have to run most everywhere else.
Well gotta run........Bye Hank :D :D

[f1racefan]

Glenn, email me and I will let you know the hardware we are getting for the RC Speedway hobby building.
Don

[Part-time]

Henry, I think I'll pass on that xxx-t. It's in good shape and all, the price is just more than I want to spend right now.

Glenn, sorry to hear about break in. Can you still get those
bearings please. I should be there for the 28th.

Ron Zee, that main was a blast! I'm just glad it wasn't a big race I would have been mad that my pack dumped with 1 & a 1/2 laps to go.

Rob

[chance]

Tarheel, sorry to hear about that. It's a sign of what our society has become, but I'm not going to get on a soapbox here.

henryj, I've finally got my 1/12th car back together. Don't think I want to race it yet, it's now a 4cell car and I need to work on my radio setup, plus, the only 4cell packs I have are 2400s. We can go at it between rounds....if you will take it easy on me!

[JimmyMac]

Well I have a B3 now. So looks like I'll be in Stock Buggy class now. Gonna give that a try. Haven't done buggies since like 88 or 89!! haha. Gonna be fun! So looks like I'll be waiting around with Chance for buggies to show up! See yall this Saturday and the next......

Jimmy Mac

[chance]

Phil... LOOK! another stock buggy driver!

[Tarheel]

Lights are fixed and bars for windows in the making. These bastages are in for now. Get my shot for my back tomorrow morning. Oh thank the LORD. See you saturday i hope.

Glenn

[kartrun]

Glad to hear Jairo is doing well at offroad.Its what i like to see ;) Go Mindblown!!

[henryj]

Hey Joseph will be there with his buggy too, we're taking it this Sat. to test a little also. So Chance we need all the tip's we can get. I'll take my 12L also, with 4 cell, and give it a try. Got a couple of 2000 pack's I'll play with to see how they do.
Ortiz, how good did you do Sat.; haven't seen result's yet but from the sound of it you did very well. Wish I would have been there, I'd of given you a hard time on the stand:D . Naw, c
ongrat's on a good run and to the other winner's.
Anyway's , we'll be there this Sat., so hope we have a good turnout. Jimmy 27, Ron, Bo, Glenn, ya'll gonna be there for Spec; if so I'll set one of our's up too so we'll have a class. Well, Bye for now.....Hank :o

[Tarheel]

Hank, Don't know about Bo, but jimmy27, Ron and myself will be there for sure. Trying to get up with Bo and see if he can make it.

Glenn

[chance]

Hank, I don't know a thing about Losi buggies. I'm sure some of the XXX drivers would be glad to help.
I've only got a couple 2400s and 2000s, I don't have any good 4 cell packs. Would like to play some if it's warm enough. We can beat the boards some between rounds!

[rc4me2]

i see it's on the schedule...are yall still planning on having the race, weather permitting?

[Tarheel]

rc4me2, Yes, come on out and have some fun.

[lowbugit]

Hey guys. I am planning on coming with the NTC3. I got a new chassis and an OSTR engine. I may have to leave early work might get in the way, but i'll take my chances. See you guys then. RC4me bring a nitro, we can put in some laps. Kevin Mac.

[JimmyMac]

Glenn, I'll be stopping by after work to drop off the T3 I ran last week. I don't feel like putting my other one back together. Blah blah blah... see yall Saturday. At least I'll get some practice in.... L8Rz

Jimmy Mac

[rc4me2]

have yall been having a decent turnout for nitro tc?

[lowbugit]

rc4me2 keep in mind it is Dec. the weather calls for sunny and 56 on Sat. You are not that far from Wilmington. If you can just load up and come on. If its a small crowd at the very least you can shake the dust off the car and get in some laps. If we all only asked about the turnout and don't show up the turnout would always be lite. Hope to see ya Sat. Kevin Mac.

[rc4me2]

ya...i wouldn't not come just cuz of a small tournout

i just meant in general

i knew it was a new track, and didnt know how much it had grown since it's opening

if i can get off of work early enough, ill probably run up there and check it out

[psi]

Will there be a 1/10 on-road electric event this Saturday (Dec 21st) ?

If yes, who's coming :)

[Tarheel]

Yes there will be ON ROAD event this saturday. And i'll be there.

Glenn

[JimmyMac]

Hey Glenn, some news for ya. If ya haven't heard already... Roar states that the Electric Touring Foam tire rule only applies to carpet tracks. Not outdoor. (this was not stated in the rule book)So that means no Foams for asphalt. Only Rubbers... :D Okay, so we are faster with foams. But rubbers might last longer and make racing more even? I dunno. I'm willing to go back to rubbers. Besides this is what will be run at the 2003 Roar Nations at Durham. Rubber handouts! Looks like I'll be needing to get some Takeoffs! Anyhow, are you gonna enforce that rule for next season? Just curious.

Well I'll show up Saturday to see who else shows up. If not to race, then at least to practice with my XXX-S G+. This should give you TC3 guys a chance since my TC3 is up for "renovations". ;) See you guys theres....

Jimmy Mac
Team Mindblown

[chance]

1/12th scale cars are really going to look like rockets compared to touring cars on rubber!

[Tarheel]

Looks like rubber for next year guys. Roar says rubber and we are a roar track. We will see what developes.

Racing saturday, so come on out.

Glenn

[Billy McCormack]

rubber....no way:( ..o'well looks like its time to work on some different setups.:D

hey glen, what about using foams for just the mod class?

rubber for stock..

[psi]

So whats the good rubber tires/inserts for 1/10 electirc for your track?

Also, any ideas what goes good @ Durham when it comes to rubber?

Thanx :)

[Billy McCormack]

take offs...cs32's and cs27's..(i think thats right)..anyways thats what was working the best for me when i was playing around with different rubber tires..

[f1racefan]

cs27's

[Ortiz]

Guess Ill see yall at the wood tomorrow...

hmmm... I might run my NTC3!! we'll see....

anyone checked the weather reports for tomorrow??

Glenn, are you gonna order any CS-27's. Now that everyone will probably be going to them it will probably be a good thing to have in stock.


Cyall tomorrow!!

[henryj]

What's up guy's! Probably see ya'll about 1 tommorrow at the latest, gotta lot of work to do, but we'll be there for sure. Hey Jairo, heard you were hard on the boy's last week on the dirt; I'm gonna have to let Joseph keep spying on you and stealing your secret's,LOL:D .
Anyway's, I guess I better get back to work, my car is completely disassembled, and I gotta charge some batteries. Well, bye for now.....Hank

[Ortiz]

Glenn,

Do you have any blue aluminum dogbones for a TC3... just found out one of mine is bent. I will buy them from you tomorrow if ya have them. Thanks!!

Hank,
Yea.. im gonna have to keep Joseph away from my stuff so he won't steal any more secrets.. he's good enough without em.

about last week's race...

In all three heats I was horrible, but I was still lucky enough to make the "A" main. I asked Glenn if he would lend me his tires for the final( thanks Glenn!!), and what a difference that made... The most laps i got in a heat was 14, in the final I started 7th and ended up 2nd with 15 laps!!:D

My Goal for next race is 16 laps... hopefully i can hit som 19.5's since i've been hitting 19. 8's already. Being constistent is definitely the key. Can't wait till next weekend!! Man what a blast Off-Road is!!:p

P.S.- if anyone else has any dogbones let me know i will buy it from you... all i need is one.

Ortiz

[JimmyMac]

Ortiz, I might have one. If not, I'll just take one off my TC3 since I won't be racing it til Carpet opens in Virginia. I'll be running my XXX-S G+ tomorrow. So take it easy on me! Weather is suppose to be like high of 59 degrees. Sunny. Tomorrow is also the "Shortest Day."

As for Tires, Takeoffs work real good. You can get a set of 4 preassemble/glued/mounted for $32. CS22 for Cold Track. CS27 for Warm Track. CS32 for Hot Track. These are what the "premounts" come in. And these tire ratings do work. Don't try running a CS22 or CS27 on a hot day just because they are softer than CS32's. You'll actually loose traction because you went past the rubbers heat tolerance. Blah blah blah. There is also Sorex with similar ratings. They are excellent tires. But more expensive. And you have to play the foam insert guessing game. With them and the track design at the "wood", I'd say a medium insert might be the best starting point. HPI inserts have been used with Sorex tires with great results.... Can't remember which color... Reds? Or Greens....? And Yokomo ABS Dish Wheels are about the best you can use. Yokomo even has a new Dish Wheel that is even truer and more balanced than the ABS ones.

Blah blah blah, see yall there tomorrow. Gotta finish up my XXX-S G+.......

Jimmy Mac

[Tarheel]

Sorry Ortiz, I don't think i have a dog bone for the Tc3. I'll check tomorrow when i get to the track.

Sunny and around 60 degrees tomorrow! Come on out and run some TC on the asphalt with us if you can.

Glenn

[JimmyMac]

I called Glenn on the celphone before I went to the track. Looks like only a hand full showed up today. Guess I packed up for nuttin.. hehe... Oh well. Guess outdoor is dead til next year. Time for carpet setup. Anyhow, goin to the "Wood" to pick up Ortiz and head to Sandhills.... Catch yall L8Rz

Jimmy Mac

[henryj]

Yeah, time to setup for the carpet too. Hacked up my chassis, but I did'nt even get to run it. The speed control was messed up I thought, but I re-programmed it when I got home and it started working again, Oh well :confused:
Anyway's I'll be running the xxx-t next Sat. so Ortiz, watch out,LOL:D Like you said today, just be smooth and consistant and you'll run good times, it's like that in on-road too.
Oh yeah I thought today was a total loss but when I got home the new issue of RCCA was in the mailbox,:p . Well see ya'll later....Hank :cool:

[npresme]

One vote here to start running off-road every weekend!!!

Anyone else want to second that??

[Tarheel]

Sorry jairo, Hank, Chance and all. Thanks for showing up to race today though. Well it is official now. The asphalt season is closed untill spring. The "WOOD" will be going to every week end on the off road starting in January. We will hold that schedule untill first part of april when the asphalt will open again. Untill then, it's strickly OFF ROAD for now. So if you feel the need, or you've got some new off road toys for Christmas to try out, come on out and run some with us. Plenty of pit spaces with power, heat, and great competition. Putting my TC3 up and polishing up the T3 for next saturday. See you there.

Glenn

[chance]

npresme, WOW...your one vote is all it takes! That just goes to show how important one vote can be...:)

Indoor off road every Saturday. I've got a feeling alot of the around the house jobs are going to get "put off" for quite awhile!

[jeremymoemorris]

yyyiiiippppiiii

Off-Road every week, I'll be there on the 28th.

Hey Glenn, I think that one of the weekends in Jan instead of Racing a bunch of us show up with some tools and put in that new track design you and Chance were talking about, You know two 90's and a jump instead of turn 1 and 2 Any way you could get some good dirt or clay for us to play with.

THATS MY ONE VOTE, CAN I GET A SECOND??? OR DO I NEED ONE. LOL

[npresme]

Didn't know I had that much pull!! LOL

I will be there on the 28th! That is the last weekend before we goto Ohio on the 4th and then again on the weekend of the 9th! Then after that I am at the WOOD everyweekend I am off work!!

[JimmyMac]

Hmmm April for onroad?? That's too late! haha.. We'll see with the weather... :D

Anyhow, guess I'll be racing Buggy from here out at the "wood". That and carpet racing up in Virginia. Chance, I got the stuff from Ortiz today. I'll have it back to ya Saturday. Gonna be interesting to see how buggies run.....

Well didn't go to Sandhills with Ortiz. Figured it was too long a drive just to watch. That and the directions were alittle iffy. Oh well, next time... Sorry Billy, Mark, Don....

L8Rz.....

Jimmy Mac

[nomac]

hi :-)

[nomac]

where's that carpet track in virginia everyone's been posting about? and how do ya get there?

[Ron Zee]

Why is everyone so concerned about tires lately?? Just because foams can't be used in the Nationals doesn't mean we can't run them like we've been doing.

[Billy McCormack]

yea we could, but don't want to get used to the great traction that foams provide only to have to put on a set of slippery rubbers tires at the nationals:)

[chance]

Is it Saturday yet?...man, six more days:(

npresme, you running buggy this time? Done seen you have the "pull"! You run 2wd and people will jump to fill the class!

KilRuf, you know all these "out of town" fast guys drive those xxx cars. Might not be but about three of us AE drivers.... I don't want to put any "pressure" on you but, somebody has got to get an AE car up to the front! It's clear I've not been getting the job done.:(

What you guys want to do about track maint. this week? Just run it like it is or show early for pothole repair? I don't remember any really bad spots from last race.

[Tarheel]

Jeremy, I will go along with your suggestion about changing the track. It's up to you guys if you want to give up a saturday race or not. You all decide and let me know. Just let me know ahead of time so i can purchase the new inside walls from lowes.

See you all saturday

Glenn

[JWEST]

Glenn have you set a date yet for the Winter Bash?

Chance, add a XXX buggy to the field Saturday....gonna shake the dust off before OHIO....

[jeremymoemorris]

Well you know my vote, Its time for a change. Chance you on my side or what???

[JimmyMac]

Ran the XXX-S G+ at the "wood" today. Hmmmm I dunno if it was the rubber tires or what, but the car seemed slow. I definately need to work on a setup. A oneway would have helped alot too. Hmmm a spring change up front. Rear linkage changes... blah blah blah... just needs to be setup. Not like my TC3..... Anyhow, too cold out to tell anyways.....

Well I'll be out there this Saturday for some Buggy action. I have a setup to try Thanks to Chance. Plus I have plenty of horse power to back it up if I can get the buggy hooked. Just need new tires.....

The carpet track in Virginia will have it's opening Jan 4th. Website is www.tidewaterrc.com Alot of us will be heading there for some practice before the Snowbirds.

Anyhow, let me head off. Got 2 more days of work left this year! :D :D

Jimmy Mac

[npresme]

Add one more XXX to the buggy class!

I think I will KNOCK the dust off Jerry's buggy for him!!! LOL

[nomac]

thanks for the info jimmy.

petey at TEAMYO@HOT-SHOT.COM ( co affiliate<team yo mama!>)

[Ortiz]

Glenn,
Will you please save me a pair of hole-shots for a truck. I already bought the wheels so all I need is the tires?? Thanks!!

Jimmy,
Do you think it was the xxx-s stock setup that was making ya slow?? Man that really sucks that not to many people showed up for On-Raod. TideWater here we come!!! :D (Crap now i have to get another TC!) Will it be a xxx-s or another TC3?

Well, hope to see yall this weekend!! Everyone have a good holiday!!


Ortiz
Mindblown Factory Elf :cool:

[henryj]

Hey Ortiz, I got a special set of tires I'll give you,LOL. They'll make your truck run just right!:D

[Part-time]

Glenn,
are you planning on putting a completely new surface down or just in the area that is getting the new layout? Just to put in my 2cents. I think it would be a good idea to do the entire track with new clay, but thats alot of work. It will most likely take longer than a weekend. Between taking up the old and cleaning out all the junk in the new before its laid, packing it, adding appropriate additives to the clay (if you want it to be a blue grove track) and thats not even including the cost- dirt, lumber, chemicals, machine rental- bobcat, tillers, tampers, etc., labor. Plus the track most likely won't be run-in in time for the winter bash. Not that thats a big deal.

If you don't do the entire track that will make it hard to have consistant tracktion.

Rob

[jeremymoemorris]

If we were to do the whole track I would not take up the old stuff. That stuff is like Cement, Leave it for a good base. Just my thoughts and that would also cut down on the time..

[blake whitehead]

Glen,
just my thought,it would be better to leave what is there1,will take most of a day to clean the old out 2 what you have is good and solid.I would recommend taking the small jumps down and the table and of course the pipes and then lay a good layer off dirt.Then add the jumps.I dont know what the budget would be but a 100$ for one af those small front end loaders would cut alot of time out.Cant think of what you call them.You can rent them by the day.( a bobcat)Thats it.You need to lay atleast a 2 inch layer down.Another time saver would ba a lawn mower with no deck or one with a deck will work until you need to pack the jumps.Also a roller that will hook to the back of a mower.Just my thoughts and and time saving ideas.Oh yeah if you plan to do this get a couple tarps they do wonders when building.

[Part-time]

I could be wrong but I think what is there isn't good and solid its falling apart. Every time we tamp a patched spot more comes up. Plus the clay won't stisk to whats there. It will be like pouring new concrete ontop of old eventually its going to chip up.

Rob

[npresme]

Blake- did you get in touch with Joe Racer? I heard he was out west again, Trying to work out some of the details for Ohio!

[Ron Zee]

,,,, maybe it's just me,,, but I thought offroad was supposed to be bumpy,,,,and that dirt isn't supposed to be as hard as concrete. If I wanted to run slicks on my truck,, I'd run it on the onroad track

[chance]

Jeremy, buddy....me, not on your side? I'm hurt! ;)
I'm all for a change, but one little problem....we waited too late to start (I think). The way I see it (with my warpped sense of reality) is, either fix it, or patch it. Fix it, is major work, most likely more than one day. Patch it, is what we've been doing.
I'm game for whatever. Just don't want "good intensions" to ruin the winter race season.
We have gotten away from "driver meetings" before the racing starts. Let's have one this Saturday to discuss what we would like to do, and figure out what we can do.

Now....looks like 2wd is going to be good this Saturday! Might be time to break out those HRC parts I've been saving.
Does anyone make "anti-xxx" spray? :)

[Part-time]

Hey Ron I'd have to agree off road is just that. But if Glenn is thinking of redoing the track I was just throwing somethings out there that would have to be decided on. The hard thing about dirt in my opinion is keeping a consistant track surface. Either it needs to be fairly loose or packed and sticky. Packed and dusty doesn't work to well. If a track is kept loose then it needs to be dragged and dampend, if its going to be a (blue Groove) track than it needs to be hard and sticky. When I used to run on dirt oval in NJ we would drag, wet then roll the track on race days. Rolling didn't make it hard it just packed it enough for a good set of step pins to dig in.:)

[npresme]

Just my thoughts, but Outdoor track are mostly rough and loamy because of the weather, therefore indoor tracks need to be HARD packs and Groomed therefore most end up becoming not blue grovved but well tractioned!!! Most hobby shop owners don't want to put up with the loose tracks indoors because of the tracking of dirt every where!

I myself would love to see a track where you can run Taper pins or super squares and run the same tire more than one race weekend!!!! My holeshots are only making it one race day and really by the mains I need to mount new ones, But that is part of racing! Not ccomplaining just saying what I would like to see!!!

[JimmyMac]

Well the way I see it, a major track over haul won't be worth it unless if we get a good turnout like last year. So for now minor maintance is good enough. Oh course we could argue that we'd get more people if the track was in better condition... but first lets just see what can be done til then. Blah blah blah....

Anyhow I'll see you guys in buggy class Saturday. Gonna rip some Losi's up!! ;) Got some parts in today for the Buggy. So now just looking for the tires.....

Ortiz, wanna buy my XXX-S G+?? hehe. I think one of the things that made it look slow as the fact that I was running Rubber tires. That and the cold weather. Running at the "wood" with foams all season made the TC3 fast. Now I just need to borrow Ron's Lap Counter and see just how slow the XXX-S to my TC3. I believe the fastest times with my TC3 in Stock class was Mid 18sec laps. Low 19's are easy. So I'll shoot for them with the XXX-S. I'll bring it Saturday to try out Kinwalds Asphalt setup. Only thing is, I don't have a one way. Anyone have a XXX-S oneway I can borrow??? I think a oneway will speed up the car alot. Especially in Stock Class. Anyhow, we'll see.

Catch yall Saturday....

Jimmy Mac

[henryj]

I agree with Chance, have a driver's meeting this Sat., and try to settle some thing's then.
For the buggy class I got two word's; JOSEPH XXX-KE; :cool: :D :confused:
Anyway's as far as track maint. goes I'll help when I can.

MERRY CHRISTMAS


I'll see ya Sat., Hank & Joseph

[nomac]

foget-a-bout-it guys! you can NEVER get another indoor dirt surface quite like the original ACRC. "nobody can keep it smooth, LAIDdown, and sticky like YO MAMA!"

P.S. the original yo mama sauce has been found! time-time for some> time for some tracshun!

[npresme]

Pete- I can show you a track that is indoors and gets rebuit about 4 to 5 times in a 6 month period (complete rebiulds) that would make the old ACRC sick!!! Don't get me wrong I MISS the old girl but we can get another track that is close if not better!!! We just need the right clay and alittle elbow grease!!!

[Tarheel]

Thanks guys for all the suggestions.

I just want to take time and thank everyone that has supported "THE WOOD" all year long, and Carol and I want to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR. I hope you get everything you want and keep comming to race with us.

Hope to see everyone this saturday. We will have a drivers meeting and see what happens.

Happy Holidays from "THE WOOD".

Glenn

[LEADFOOT]

...would love to come help w/ the track and race with ya'll, but I gotta work. I'll see ya in 2 weeks. Until then Happy Holidays!

[lowbugit]

Hey guys I am looking to trade my FTGT 2 mos old with the trick aftermarket brake for an electric touring car in good shape. I also have a cv hyper in good shape I would trade for a good esc or good 3000 batts. Or I would be willing to sell the FTGT with the cv hyper for 290.00 I am wanting the electric tourer to be able to run in the 2003 Nats at Durham. If interested you can call me at 1 919 812 5090 . Hope everyone has a good holiday and see you guys on the track soon. Kevin Mac.

[Part-time]

I'm not sure if I will make it out this Sat or not but if I can will anyone be there early for maintenance? I will be glad to help.
I hope everyone has a great Christmas!
p.s. Don't forget through all the hussle and bussle: Jesus is the reason for the season:D

[Billy McCormack]

lowbugit--whats a cv hyper?

[lowbugit]

CV Hyper is an OS engine, very funny Billy.

[Billy McCormack]

just messin with ya man:D ...i'm trying to get rid of my FTGT also..glad to see that you are moving to touring...better sign up for the nationals as soon as don posts the entry forms...it is going to fill up fast


won't make it there this sat...as far as the track change..think it is going to have to just be patched for right now...no one is going to want to wait for the track to set...have any dates for the watermelon been set yet?

hope every one has a MERRY CHRISTMAS:D :) ;) :cool

[JimmyMac]

Hope everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS! See yall this Saturday. Ron, bring your lap timer too! Need to test my XXX-S. Still no bite on the XXX-S oneway?? Anyone??? :(

Well take care everyone. See ya on the flip side....

Jimmy Mac

[nomac]

mr.'press.

show me how to get there and i'll join the tracks membership club.

[Tarheel]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. SANTA is on the roof!

Glenn

[f1racefan]

Santa turns a 22/5:03 for a new TQ at Rosewood in the 19 Turn Sleigh Class. Hope you all have a Great Holiday.
Don and Karen Hill

[npresme]

Pete that track is about 8 hours north!!!! Goto www.crcrc.com click on track pics and watch the 4wd race from last year!!

[chance]

Hope you guys made out better than I did... I got a lump of coal... snif... snif.

If spectator seating was moved up a row or two we could use the bottom as the drivers stand and push the track out to all three walls. Of course that would bring up a whole new set of problems, like some drivers might have a buddy sitting in the crowd with a straw and shoot spit balls at the back of other drivers heads!

How many more days...:)

[nomac]

daaaaaaaaaaaaa- shut yo mouth!-muh

[Part-time]

I'm up for anything but if you put the drivers stand there how will people watch the races? Basically its whatever Glenn desides to do. We all know that Glenn wants to make us all happy but thats impossible. We also know that hasly made decisions usually turns upsidedown. I'm up for a new layout but on the same hand the current one rocks. It's technical, fast and alot of fun. I got the ok from my wifey to race Saterday so see ya'll there. (not that I need permission but my family is coming in from out of state so that means she'll be alone all day w/ the inlaws.) Chance will anyone be there early for maintenance?

Rob

[npresme]

I can be there for track main. if it is needed!!


Anyone want to run mod. buggy??

[chance]

Hey, I was joking about moving the drivers stand! It's too late in the game to be making major changes.

Rob, I'm not sure if it's needed. Might want to get Glenn to respond to that. Did anyone notice any spots that need repair? I'm sure there's something that could use some work, I just don't recall.

npresme, I'm setup for stock, and I think some others are too. We might have six or eight in 2wd this week, it would be cool if we all ran the same class. This track seldom has that many buggies.

[npresme]

Chance- there will be a few more buggies because all of us want to run them before going to Ohio the next two weekends!

Stk. is fine with me but I would rather run mod.

[blake whitehead]

Npreseme,I think joe racer will make a showing this weekend.I need you to do me a favor.Bring the battery straps off your xx4 im gonna shake mine down before ohio.Just want to borrow them for a few minutes.Gonna order some new ones this week.

[npresme]

Blake-did you mean xxx-4?? I no longer have my xx-4! I am planning on running my xxx-4 a pack or two just to make sure everything is ok!!! What did you find out about Joe going to Ohio?

[npresme]

Btw- I hope Joe racer does show, I have something to talk to him about!!! I had someone tell me alitte something something about Ol' Joe! LOL

JBOK is on The Yard saying he is gonna show!! This weekend maybe just like the old ACRC days!!!

[JWEST]

XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX

nuff said...lol...lol...lol

See ya Saturday...Buggy class should be cool....

[nomac]

did someone say "ACRC"?!! i have been really wanting to try rosewood out! but being way over here in thomasville makes it hard to hook up with a rode buddy. what time are the races usually over? and hammer if you're listening, i need another one of those "special" A/E topshafts. oh and i still aint run out of mod motars yet!

[jtn]

Can someone tell me what time the track opens for practice and registration? My son and I are planning on running for the first time tomorrow.
Thanks.

[Ortiz]

All the info is on the website www.rosewoodrc.com

most people show up between 1030 and 11. Racing probably wont start till sometime after 2.

Glenn,

Will you please save me(if you got any wheels in) a set of wheels and a pair of hole-shots for tomorrow please??


Glad to see more and more people wanting to come over and race!!

[jtn]

Thanks Ortiz. I will just plan on being there around 11 so we can get some practice in. :D

[npresme]

Everyone is showing up early for track main. So if you are not going to work on the track then don't show up too early!

I have noticed that a few people show up early and don't help on the track but instead go ahead and get there batteries charged and then they are the first on the track before any of the patches have time to set up!! Then we are back to the same holes at the end of the race day!! But these are just my sights so use your own GOOD judgement!!

[jtn]

If help is needed on the track we would be glad to assist.

[Ortiz]

What's wrong with people coming early?? I'm always early.. no matter what I'm doiing.

Maybe people dont have time to charge batteries the night before, so they come early to do it.

When i first came to race off-road(about a month ago) I had no clue what kind of maintenance the track needed, so i just sat there and did nothing. Now, i try to do a little between every heat just so everyone might have similiar track conditions.
So maybe some other people dont know either and they let the salty dogs do it.

not only that but the tools are limited... so not everyone that comes early can help.

I understand what you mean about people not helping then being the first person on the track, but your always gonna have people do that no matter what you tell them.

Jimmy, you bringing the xxx-tec tomorrow? I'll bring my TC3 so we can run some laps to see how it holds up. If it does ill get one next month...

Anyway,
Hope to see everyone there tomorrow!!

[chance]

Ortiz, chill...it will be ok! :) The people that get out and sweep between rounds and heats do notice when someone else helps. Sweeping is the only thing that can be done after the racing starts and it makes a big difference on the track.

Tarheel, are you or Jimmy27 going to be at the track early to open for maintanence?

[npresme]

I first I never charge the night before either!!

And If you tell the ones that show early and don't do anything that the track opens at 12, Then they will not be there early!!!

I understand that the tools are limited, and it seems that every week we have a few more show up early!

[Tarheel]

Ron is planning on opening the track early tomorrow. I think around 9:30 . If you would like to help with track maintenance, you may show early and Ron will let me know who you are. We will give free racing to those that help. Anyone else that wants to show early to charge batteries may do so too. The difference is they don't get to race for free. I appreciate the maintenance you guys are doing while my back is healing. Sounds like a good crowd
for saturday. Come on out and show off those new toys you got for Christmas. I'll be running spec class again. Maybe Rob won't have his blocker. lol. Just kidding Rob. Looking forward to a good day of racing.

Glenn

[henryj]

Ortiz, I have a pair of rear holeshot's with one run on them; you can use them tommorrow if you need too. I'm gonna run the xxx-t, so I won't need them.
If work is light in the morn. I'll be there early too; just never know what I've gotta do till I go check the truck's out that I look after on Sat. Anyway's I will see you tommorrow, 1 for stock truck; and one for stock buggy.
Bye......Hank :D
