Schedule shows racing this weekend, then on the 28th and Sept 11th....but there may be people out racing almost any Sunday between now and the Fall Classic (Sept 17/18 ?) From the sound of it, the numbers of people coming out is beginning to improve. Kind of wish I had my radio back from its summer holiday, but I can wait until the indoor season.

1/12th scale ? I hope not.....we run so late already that another class will bog things down even further....but if enough turn up, I'm sure they'll be able to run. If it happens, I think we'll really have to look at restricting racing to just two qualifiers, not three as in the past.

Mr. Martin ,, Love to see you at a club race
as for tires, 36-40 track temp last time out
was 136.4 Hot Hot

[dougmartin]

Hey Martin
Ya sorex 32,36,will work depending on the track temp.....like Rick said last time out it was hot. But September I would think the 32's will be fine. Ren has plenty in stock if your looking for some. He has HPI green inserts which most of us have been using.

We now have 5 "repeat" 5 Xray's running in the Kamloops club. Mr Speer is now the proud owner of an Xray FK05 and Pat will be running his 04. Sorry I had to Rick

Also I will be racing Sunday but can't get there till later, about 12pm. I'll email Brent to have Mr Melnyk to pick up the keys to unlock the gate. Please do the setup and Pat and I will help with the cleanup. I just can't get there any earlier as I am moving the majority of my household items to my new house. Thanks.

Here's the results from racing.

Not a big turnout. We ran a Stock Tc with Kyle Luft and Pat Steffen aka Pat Francis. Kyle had to leave before the main,but with a low turnout we let Pat run by himself.

Pat 18 5:12 PAt's fast lap was a 15.3

He did get to a 19 lap pace but hit a dot going by the pit lane and it cost him. Pat's going to only get faster as the year goes on.

In 4wd it was the Giuseppe and Melnyk show which ended up being 2 trucks. April's truck is pretty quick.

Guiseppe 9 5:11
Melnyk 9 5:17

In TC 19t we had Doug ,Melnyk and Guiseppe.

Melnyk had the quick car in qualifying doing a 21 in 5:13, Doug 21 5:14, Guiseppe 20 5:12

In the main Doug and Melnyk were battling it out when melnyk's motor went south...leaving Doug to cruise to the win, Guiseppe 2nd melnyk 3rd

Doug 21/5:09
Guiseppe 20/5:10
Melnyk 17/5:27

Some very fast laps being put down on the track. Doug 14.0 Melnyk14.3 Guiseppe 14.8....all done with 19t......hoping to get out and get some laps down running mod soon

also few of us are thinking of going to the VMAR race on AUG 27-28. If we do go it's also club race day that Sunday so think about if you want to run that day.....I know Kyle Luft won't be there.

[dougmartin]
