Great job at the Champs Wayne-both in stock and mod. Your car looked great every run.

wayne,

What difference do you see going from the 10 deg to the 5 deg front upper arm mounts?

I assume it doesn't take out as much caster in the corner when fully compressed, but do you think it makes it more edgy or smooths the car out. turns in better or worse at what points? i.e. entering corcer mid corner or exit of the corner? I haven't had a chance to mess with it yet.

BTW when will carubba have the t-plates ready for sale?

Thanks

Michael

Hi Micheal..
I thought on the very high bite track at Cleveland my car was turning in too much for me to handle. I didn't like the other front tires I tride so I went to the 5 deg. blocks and the car was smoother entering the turns. With the set up I had on with 10 deg. blocks the car wanted to grab entering the turn and the ass end started to come around. Typically the lower deg. block the less entering you have but more exiting stearing you get.
Try e-mailing Tony about the t-plates. He had a small quantity done, so It may be a bit pricy, but well worth it!! Vickie and I ran them in stock and I ran it in mod. too.

Wayne:

Hi,

I am suppose to be getting Jason's B.M.I.1/12th scale car for my son to run. when it shows up I'll be asking for some help and all those cool parts you have. maybe we will run 1/12th scale stock at Trackside along with stock and 19t sedan.

I'm also interested the Tony's T bar. I have some .078 T bars at home but Tony's has more adjustments.


Thanks

Wayne,

Thanks for letting me poke and prod the car. It looked great, and even if it drove like crap I still wanted one. Luckily it didn't drive like crap. That's a bonus in my book. Good looking car that actually works. The room was crowded and you still had time to talk to me and answer questions. Top notch attitude too. Again, thanks.

TimXLB,

Thanks for being a good listener. I had some issues and it is nice sometimes to sit and chit chat with someone. It seems that we only get to talk once a year and we aren't too far apart from eachother. Talk to ya soon.

Tim

That's cool. I am no longer race director there due to my hectic schedule. I now show up as technical support/problem solver and am available on a as needed basis.

I might have to get a touring car so that I can run there. I am the only 12th scale driver that has shown up so far.

Tim:

Hi,

Do you want me to send you one of my TC3's????? I built 3 at Cleveland but need to go through my pile of diff cases as none of the diff cases were right. (well for me anyway) Jason has decided to stay with the Xray. so I'll have lots of TC3's for sale soon.

LMK.


please check your PM.


Thanks

on the bmi thread, jason said he was going to try and do a run of 12 chassis this week. Hope he does enough to fill some of the back orders.
