Remember last time when that Ferrari showed up? SWEEEEEEEET CAR! Talk about distracting the races. I think there were more people looking at the car than watching the races when it pulled up, including racers themselves.

I have NEVER known you to be SLOOOOW!!

So who all is looking run Mod the first weekend out at OP? I'll have to get some new cells before I can really compete, but I'll have fun anyways.

I've heard of the Pro4's diff gear problems. I just don't get it. Tamiya, Baracuda, and now the Pro4. Why all the diff gear problems.

I have no fears of running mod with my Yok SD. Whether I'm using a one-way or not. Just haven't had any problems with the diff gears breaking. And keep in mind, thats while running mod out at Mike's as well.

So there were a few times out there running a mod when I may have tapped the boards!

But of course, now that I've said that, I'll spead all year replacing diff gears!

Terry, that would be great. So far for sure it is Jeff and I. Randy Keesling is still doing some checking on weather he can go. If all 4 of us go I think it would be a blast, but we may need to break it up into two vehicles. Let us know when you decide for sure if you want to go.

Hey, just some more questions. What are the dimensions of your track? Just trying to figure out what gears to put in my nitro car.

The problem with the oneway striping is because the gear isnt supported on the back side. After looking at the TC3 and the pro4 I can see why I have stripped one. No biggie PRP is making a plate to help support it. Of course none of HPIs driver have had any problems?

Probably 2 vehicles for sure, I'm a pack rat. I will probably bring my EZ-up and folding table if I go. I'll know by Monday. I'm waiting for my wife to get her schedule for work. If she has to go on call I'll probably stay local just so I can get the kids from a babysitter if necessary.

civic, what time does the track open for practice on sunday? What time do the races start and any estimate on what time we'll finish? We're trying to figure out how early we have to get up! LOL Thanks!

terry, Randy can't go for sure, so it's down to 3, with your ez up we probably still need 2 cars though. Send me a private message with your phone number.

We usually have the track ready for practice by 8:30...signup around 9-9:45..racing at 10. We usually finish up between 3-4.

So I'm reading about the new Traxxas Monster Truck....Gulp!....If it does as advertised we are in for a real treat. Hope we see one out at the track when they come out.
