Default TRCR : tires.

I would like to see a few pix of the new lay out in progress and maybe when completed,guys. Who has the camera there? George posted some great pix,2 tracks back. It's also a good idea to see the track to see how we should change gearing,if recommended.
I agree that the dirt at TRCR is the very best dirt.The traction is(.........)! 10,000 tires are embedded into that track.
GOOEY in the morning-run slicks. When it dries out a bit, go to(your chosen) clay tires. Is that about correct? It's ALL ABOUT THE TIRES. What works and what does not. Brand names,compounds,inserts,tread design. Changing tires to suit the track conditions and making the lucky choice or the TIRE that works for your driving style,I guess.

Default Bring out the 1/8 scales tonight!!!

Let's get some Tuesday night 1/8 scale going! I've brought mine twice now and nobody showed. Let's get a class going tonight. The current layout is ideal for 1/8.

I like watching 1/8 but really don't like marshaling it.

Hey Jonathan..I installed my new Duo3 17.5 last night and it feels like a rocketship just driving around the house and down the street...What do you have yours geared at? did you have to gear up or down from where you would normally gear a 17.5? Right now I have it at 72/32.
