I run a b3 and what works for me is a soft spring with a heavy weight shock oil in front. Like blue b3 springs and 55 or 60 weight shock oil.. In the rear is green b3 springs with 55 or 60 weight shock oil.. I also am building a b4 right now and I'm going to try brown b4 front springs and black rear springs on that with 55 or 60 weight shock oil... But what works for me may not work for you. But it's a starting point..

Looks like a good following here, sorry I don't get on here much but will make a better effort to do so with updates. Thanks to those keeping race info up to date.

Tonight is Thursday Night Thunder race series with the first one is 7 weeks long. We open the track at 3pm and race at 6pm.

Saturday is race #3 of the Big Chill series with is a 8 week series and averaging over 60 entry's.

Great Racing both nights with Tuesday being practice night.

On two of our personal cars with are both B4's we have buggy blue front springs on the front, truck ft red springs on the back. One car has 70wt oil and the both is 80wt. The other car we have is Tom's and I think he is buggy blue ft spring on the front and green ft truck spring on the back with 70 or 80 wt oil?

Hope this helps any one looking for a starting point.

I stopped by the track for the first time last Saturday. I am new to the area and am looking to get into some local racing. There was a great turn out with some close racing. I am getting the itch to get back on the track.
See you guys soon

Being the topic is LLM check out the A-main results, doesn't get much closer for a 5 min race.

– Limited Late Model – A Main –
Pos Car Laps time name
1 3 57 5:00.48 JIM BLUNT
2 1 57 5:01.36 ED FICK
3 6 57 5:04.51 TAYLOR FITZGERALD
4 4 57 5:04.91 BRIAN KOENIGS
5 5 56 5:00.22 KARL KUENNEN
6 2 56 5:03.08 Charlie Ashton
7 7 56 5:04.07 ADAM RADISKE


They ran the same amount of laps as the Mod truck A-main. By far the LLM is the biggest class with an average of 15-20 in just that class along.

Look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday or Saturday.
