Scoop Grate - so you have your OWN inflatable .....bit of a worry. If I remember rightly (since I am so old) you still haven't recorded as many laps as my old truck with an old driver .

I reckon by the time he get's to your age he may be able to get his truck to run all races without cutting out, He might even win a race.
With more than 2 people.

Nah probabally not. He might own his truck by then.

If you look carefully you can see the peg system in place. Not as colorful as we thought but obviously they didnt use glens pegs.

Just look at the concentration on his face. You can just tell he is really doing some hot laps.

I think he was trying out his new Andrews tuned 540.

Must be a real powerhouse.

It took me a while but when I zoomed in I can see the peg.

It's a nice one.

I hope he wears it this weekend.

GOOD NEWS ALL.

I have managed to obtain some sponsorship for our track,

Perfection Milk have given us some milk crates for use this weekend.

I have some 2wd, 4wd and truck crates left.

So if you don't want to lose your car in a hole this is what you need.

Pm me to get your crate now. Please specify Ass, or Los

Default Setup for xxxt

Andrew I found a setup for you for a xxxt which i thought might be helpful:
Here it is just in case you want it
Its some blokes called aaron waldon?
Front:
35 wt. on 7's
Orange springs
Shocks 2 on tower, middle on arm
Ride height arms level
2-B link w/ two washers
.120 limiters with .9 shafts
-1/2 deg. camber, very slight toe-in

Rear:
30 wt. on 6's
Pink springs for stock, Red for Mod
Shocks 2 on tower, inside on arm
Ride height arms level (not bones)
2-A link, stock rear hubs, spaced middle
2 deg. anti-squat

Misc:
- Alum. dogbones and plastic outdrives for stock.
- Alum. topshaft
- Fury body
- Battery 1/2 inch back
- 357 servo
- Trinity front and rear pivot blocks, shock collars
- Stock P2K2 geared at 18/86, mod D5 11x2, gearing changes by track
- Trinity GP3300's

WARNING: this setup works best on blue-groove tracks like Hot Rod and SRS, and will get you in the ballpark for basically every other track (I never change it). It may not have enough steering for tight indoor tracks like SoCal..in which case, try Red Springs up front, and more drag brake than normal. At tracks like Hot Rod for stock truck, I set my drag brake to the point where the truck will roll unless I hold the brake on.

For those that were not at the meeting today. We have deceided that we will resurface our track on the June long weekend.

That's the 5th, 6th & 7th.

I'm waiting on some prices on a roller ( no we are not rolling Justin around the track as planned) and also may be able to get a Auto sifter if needed.

So get your shovels, wheel barrows and garden tools ready to be used.

It's BYO beverages. The track will be redezigned after a few drinks.
Should make for something different.

You drove a good race, the ol'bowler would have been proud of you. And for those who missed out, it was a good days racing with the usual fun and pranks happening.
(did we leave anyone on the drivers stand )
