I stopped out this morning. Track is to wet to run around with a skid steer. Let's try again next Saturday and Sunday to get it ready.

Default Sprint Cars

What gearing does everyone run on the oval for sprint cars?

I might get the klien up and going. Thinking a .12 engine...

Pinion/Clutch & Spur thoughts?

Thanks,
Nate

Default Track Prep

Jusy FYI will try and work on tracks on Saturday Weather Permitting. There has been people going out there in the mud tearing up the track, and then wiping there feet on everything. The track is locked up till it dries up. So to get any racing in this week will require some dry days to get tracks ready.

Nate gearing with Buggy rear tires I run 62 spur 23 bell you can drop two teeth on bell for truck rear tires. Thanks Jason

With no sun, cold weather and a chance of more rain tonight we are calling off the races for tomorrow.

Jason or anyone else running a Klein Sprint,

This probably sounds like a stupid question but I'm stumped...

I mounted a motor into my chassis last night and have 2 issues.

1 - The clutch bell is rubbing on the chassis. Easy fix add spacers to move the motor up a bit.

2 - Even with and without the spacers, the fly wheel sits to high to hit the bump box wheel.

Any thoughts on how to address this issue? I really don't want a roto start since I would have to then buy a new motor...

Thanks!
Nate

Nate,

I know on my Klein sprinter the bottom of the flywheel is slightly above the bottom of the chassis plate - it needs to be that way so you don't kill the engine when the chassis bottoms out on the dirt on bumps. I don't need to run any spacers on my engine mounts to make the clutch bell clear the chassis - maybe it's a difference in your motor/clutch combo? You may need to grind out the chassis opening a little to achieve the clearence. In regards to engaging the starter wheel and flywheel...this can be a ricky setting. the starter wheel needs to be exactly in the center of the flywheel opening to allow it to enter the opening as far as possible. If the starter wheel is worn (smaller in diameter) it can be an issue. I have been known to shave the starter wheel mounts to set the starter wheel up a little higher to compoensate for wear. Starter boxes can be a real hassle sometimes!!
Hope this helps....

Jerry
