Hi Chris,
Does Crystal have a race schedule, and if so when are they racing there?

ChrisF

Give them a ring. Not sure about current schedule, but there is usually practice during the day and racing on Sundays. 310 631-0307

Actually, now that I think about it, I already knew that. Remember Phillip when I went up to Ace in San Jose, they told me the OFNA does pre-camber the tires, but it didn't provide an exact numerical setting for the angle itself? You'd just have to eyeball it. That may not be so bad for the price difference...but anyway, thanks again for the input Bradley!

ChrisF-
Thanks for the info also.

Guys we should head out to one of the other 1/8th scale tracks soon. Looks like Vegas is out for me, I can't get a call back or info regarding entry. There goes my two throw out rounds already. I probably won't bother with the rest of the "series" then...

Kevin:

The Silverbowl track in Vegas is possibly my favorite track, with Fort Myers, Florida a close second. It is very challenging, fast and fun to drive. If you can find any way to make it, the Speedline race and the now Paris Memorial race are two of the most fun weekends you could ask for if you love racing.

As with Ft. Myers, you have to race there least once in your lifetime...kinda like a pigrimage to Mecca

Yeah I wish I could go but can't get any info, and hotel rooms are getting scarce. I'm bumming out. Are you going to make it? My wife already said she'd go also, but we may end up doing something else that weekend now as a result.

ChrisF

That's not an excuse. If you want to go, I can give you the name of an alternative hotel across the street (Boulder Palms). Plus, call Mike Queller at Speedline and ask him about registering 512 326-8481.

There, I've taken away your excuses

kevink2

ChrisF, you the man... I'll call in the morning. Are you planning on being there? Don't know anyone else who's going yet.

I just finished assembling my NTC3 last night (until 4AM) . Tested it out on the driveway with the X12 ....this car is SWEET. Had no problem in assembling the car.....the parts fit perfectly.

......will probably go to CAMAMARILLO to test it more....hehehe.

Hey kevink2


The New OFNA Truer has degree metering... But I forgot how many degrees it will go(Getting OLD hehehe), but call OFNA and ask Steve, he'll be able to tell you.


Keep the Rubber(or Foam)on the Road!!!

Ran at Camarillo today........track had plenty of traction......as expected...the NTC3 was awesome. I'm ready for Hot Rod next week.

kevink2

Thanks Bradley.

Phillip, how do you get to the Camarillo track?

TambokGT

Kev,
The track is well maintained now by a few of my ol R/C friends.

Take the 101 go north until you go down the hill and into the valley of Camarillo.....you know the outlet(favorite place of everybody's wife).......exit Las Posas turn left ...go straight .....until you hit Pleasant Valley Road and Las Posas intersection....turn right........the track is on your right - part of the Freedom Park.......next to the Camarillo Airport. The track is maintained by the Ventura Road Runners R/C Club.

TambokGT

BTW...heres a pic of my new ride.......

Edwin and I are going to Hot Rod this Sunday.

kevink2

Thanks for the directions Phillip. Is that track open every day. How about evenings?

Cool paint job bro, you should post it in the paintjob thread in electric forum...

ChrisF: Got a call back from the Vegas track last week, and was directed to call someone else for info. Called that guy and left a message, but no return call... 1st guy said he didn't think many spots were left. Dang. Thanks for the help though.
