Owners (the older couple) were super nice. But there were some other issues. Letting a young kid basically run the place at times was interesting. I can't really name names here but early during the main my kid was right up with another popular driver...this driver crashed on a jump just before a U shaped turn...the corner marshal (a younger driver who was probably biased towards this driver) picked up the car and put in on the track past the next turn ahead of my son's car. And having drivers who are the owner's sons (and related) on the same course...one of them stopped on the track in front of my son on the straight (fastest part of the track) causing our car to do several flips and we broke a rear arm at the base of the chassis pivot.
Not really an ideal situation when the family members own the track and race a few classes. They corner for each other etc.
Just left a bad taste in my mouth.

I see that kind of crap all the time, the guy that caused the crash gets flipped first because he's someone's buddy

BTW... does anybody run their buggy without the rear swaybar? I race at a bumpy high traction clay track. Just wondering if it drives better without it.

I love going to S&S, Yes Ronnie & his wife have both his youngest & oldest son help on the mic & run a race & they arent the most experienced at it but he does it for the fun of the hobby & his boys who race a lot. Where else can you go for $10 a class and after 2 entried the rest are free that has a roof, out of the climate, free power & air compressor. I deal with non experienced turn marshals everywhere i go, its a fact of racing. On top of that, They host B-day races for anyone that goes there to celebrate them & they truly appreciate the people that come out..My point being its nice to see a place that isnt motivated by money & takes the time to recognize its racers more than other places..

Could anyone share some 13.5 gearing for indoor clay? What spur and pinion? Why lower spurs such as 76 or 78 instead of the kit 84?

Gear one higher from the 9.5 recommendation. Don't be afraid to try higher as the manual can be conservative. Check temps and go up from there.
