Great chatting with you briefly as well. What car was that you were running? Was it you Tamiya conversion? I wish I never got rid of mine :-(

Oldest car in the A main I think- Converted TB04 (Exotek EXO-SIX) :D

I’m coming back for blood after the finishing results I had. Will bring a shaft drive for USGT. I have the Pro4 which I converted to Vta. Your car was a rocket bro.

Mike, I see grooving inside and outside of your tires. I'm used to seeing it only on the inside. Did you find more grip this way? Less static or less camber gain?

It's graining. It had much heavier graining on day 2. I don't remember these tires ever graining like this before.

It's hard anodized 7075 with a loose top plate.

1. Not a mid motor
2. Shaft car
3. Chassis is 7 year old
4. It’s a Tamiya, they make toys

This defies the laws of RC science 😂🤣😂🤣

That chassis must be banned immediately otherwise it will damage the sales of the new X4 😝

That doesn't look like the aluminum Exotek chassis that I have for my Exo6. Why aluminum instead of carbon, Mike?

I am guessing the 1 UP Cup did not use standard USGT rules as that motor does not look like the spec USGT motor.

1up was handout Reedy fixed timing 17.5(GT) for SCS's large layout.

OSherman 10-12-2021 06:51 PM

...USGT bodies, USGT weight, USGT tires

lots of fun

looking forward to next year.

motor was different and wing height wasn't tech’d.

So here is the track I'm running, quite a bittersweet year that's brought in some dramatic changes. We do our best to bring in brand new racers (all novices race for free!) with our main focus on bringing in the sportsman racers with 'grass roots' club racing. In fact, in 1 year have have gone from 5 USGT racers to almost 40, so I think we are doing something right.

You can tell I love ALL my Cal Raceway racers as I use exclamation points a lot ( I am not yelling at any one lol).

I'll say it again- just have fun! I know I am :)

I race at Mike's track Cal Raceway and must say Mike runs a great track, he takes the time to help the new racers and the not so new racers as well. He takes the time to keep his track looking nice, keeps the program running well and I'd bet most of the people that race at Cal Raceway would say the same of Mike. His statement about "just have fun" seems to be his mantra.
