not a cuda i hope
oh yeah oval in blountville i hate running round and round i bought a oval car and it sucked and i sold it after the first 2 races. if you like to turning left only then go for it but i hate it.
and dirt tracks man you dont even want me to go there
blountville has a dirt track and you can run what ever you want (no rules ) if you can get a 10 cell battery pack on your car then you can run it . if you have a 8x2 motor run it they dont care!
so 2 guys that have been racers there have opened up there own tracks so there is 3 dirt tracks within 15min of my house and can i say i dont really like dirt either
man im a so cal guy and as a kid there i liked touring left turn -right turn and all kinds of set-ups and tuning parts to mess with. so my heart is in touring .
for local races we have been setting up a parking lot track and do well im told hobby town is coming to town and there looking to do touring only . i hope soon

Hey Barracuda guys in the USA. Anyone got a R2 in Mint shape with some of the Must have hop-ups youd like to trade for an Master Assasin? I am very intersted in trying out this car. I only race Stock, Carpet/foam tires and this car looks like it might be perfect for that. Shaft drive, PAL Drive system, Fully adjustable!!! NICE!!!

the barracuda does very well on carpet and if you have the speedway pal or excel hub kit its even better. but good luck on searching ( dont forget belts are to hold your pants up)

pants are what you wear underneath trousers
unless you go commando..... although there are boxers, y-fronts, long johns too looks like I'll be racing for a second week with a cheapo servo, may fit my futaba cheapo instead of the borrowed one I have in now. The stupid model shop sent a pack of plastic replacement gears for my KO servo, instead of the metal gears I asked for, now they say they have to order them specialy which will be Tuesday
Trying to decide if I can afford to go to the Scottish GP at Stonehaven, it's quite a long drive which may mean driving up the night before, and probably sleeping in the back of my VW Polo, oh joy
I really want to go, since they will be running a 19T class and it's a big permanent track, I should do fairly well, just the cost of fuel and most my club mates will strugle to get the whole weekend off, so no splitting travel costs 
just trying to balance racing costs with needed to order some parts for my cuda, like a new diff and some springs, (my sig in other forums says "I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure" for a very good reason

strange how the much lighter car with lots of alloy can be much stronger too

the NSX body does handle very good i have been running it at the local events and the body is very light weight also.
