Hey Doug, I put in over 300 laps in practice on Saturday afternoon. Getting my Rubber carpet setup sorted out. I have a great one for Foam's

Ran my 12th a bunch... and also got out the f1 car... Just have to reduce the push and it will be good.

Tim, What is a good setup for the mission on carpet with rubber tires. I just would like to be in the ballpark when I go there, being that I've never run on carpet before. Thanks!!

Doug, depends on what tire choice. Foam or rubber, and what type of rubber. I will post my Rubber Setup

Front

60 wt
Yellow Spring
3 hole
0 inboard and outboard toe
8.5 castor
Competetion Sway bar
# 2 Shock Tower mount
#2 or inside hub mount
#1 or upper arm mount

Rear

60 wt
Red Spring
3 hole
2 inboard and 2.5 outboard toe
No Sway bar
# 2 Shock Tower mount
#1 or inside hub mount
#2 or upper arm mount

That got in in the ballpark, the car was loose, but easy to drive. I am going to try a little lighter oil, and the regular sway bar.

Hey Spooky sorry I didn't respond sooner. I am going to be there Saturday Morning around 9:45 or so. Can you make it? Other wise let me know when you are heading to the track. As far as the "care" package I will save anything I see for you.

Cool tc3 carpet setup

Can some one give me some advise on setting my TC3 for carpet. I am going to start with the manual's set up but if someone with experience can give me a heads up that would be a big help.

what time does racing start on Sun? 19 turn class is using foam tires for sedan - did I understand that correct?
