Wouldn't call it scared. You know what makes humans unique to the rest of the species on earth? The ability to "reason".
Not to mention that track is tough on my poor Moooo-gun. Oh, and if they put a 100 foot jump you know I will try to make it The gas tank actually broke in warmup on that triple even though I was back siding it!

Actually I don't know when you broke it... I'm pretty sure you were full when I started you for warmup, (I always check!) and it took a LOT to fill you before the start... 3/4 tank? Then the car died before the start, and you NEVER have flameout issues... AND I had to prime it to start it! It may have broken at the end of the last race and it just wasn't evident, and got progressively worse. Not sure.
Have you looked it over yet? Something certainly isn't right there...

i think it's must of us that keep talking about these shocks. Tex has for the most part, been quite. now off to the track to go play with the "carrot" shocks.
#95

I'm not positive... but PROBABLY some guys were running proto shocks... primarily the Xray/RCAmerica guys (Rocco Margiotta, Jason Branham, Hunter Kinsey if he was there...)

New Shocks
Hunter didnt go to Silver state but we were in Austin for the Austin VS San Antinio race and the track was comparible to the conditions at Silver State.
Blown out and rough.
Jason and Hunter finished 1st and 2nd in the A main, both where running the prototypes.
The only change we made from the Texas RC pro race at Indy (indoor track) to Austin is went from 30wt in rear to 27.5wt, same piston and springs.
The platform this are based on only requires small changes.

Ron,
We could get some worked up for your 6. I need to get more involved with that car. It looks very nice. It does make a difference not having to spring for the jumps and landings. Talk to me tomorrow at the track and I'll take a look to see if something can be worked out.
I have pre-production components arriving in the next two weeks. This will allow me to post some pics and everyone can see what has been going on.
Good run.

I've seen them, and seen the functional parts. But then I might be a figment of your imagination too. And the Xray boys win on skill alone... they don't have any special shocks. You should probably just disregard this thread...
