Dan,

I remember emailing you when you came out w/ V 1.0 of that thing. I want to see it in person, and possibly drive it. I thought it was pretty cool for its time. Closest I ever got was the TC3 Rally conversion! Might actually have to find it and make it a rally car again!


Congrats to everyone esp. the CCA and all they do.

I'm coming out early with my son tomorrow. It seems like the Associated I can throw around more and is more forgiving. The majority of the problems are my driving skills I am sure, but the T4 just feels more like my style.

I'm gonna try some different tires and see if I can get it more to my liking.

I will hit you guys up for info tomorrow.

I think the extra weight works well on the high bite track with good power if you can drive the line everytime.

At ECT I had a horrible time with electrical and speedo settings. I was ready to go home before the mains started.

I will run a lite set up at TRCR and hopefully have a better round 5 and 6.

Default HELLO FROM DON

HELLO and good morning to all of you.
Thought I would just check in and say hi. Hey MoMo NICE TO see you as well. I would like to say thank you to all of you for the help and kindnies you show Diane .

I see it all of the time but sometimes forget to say thanks at that time.

Well FOR ME boating season is just around the corner so i will be spending time out at westmorland in the near future. I have a new landing craft that i will be working on soon. Something like the one I brought down to Amain one night with the tanks that some of you saw.

NOW IT makes me feel good knowing
she is taken care of and watch out for .
WHen she comes down on her own or I drop her off.

That is what we mean we say were a big family that is what it is all about to help and watch out for each other and have fun racing.

OK I went off subject sorry about that one.
DON YOUR Vintage dirver.

Hey everyone love my rt5 but have a couple questions
where and how much weight works best?
Should shocks be easy to compress completely when off the truck?
And it seems like my shocks are always coming loose
my qualifier one of the front ones completely blew out the bottom the little black cap came unthreaded and dumped everything

Wow excuses like these are normally reserved for the people who dont win.. Makes me want to hang my slash up for good since i thought it was working pretty well, and finished somewhere in the back of the field Props to the Dunlaps, it's great to see a business like this done so well, and a great cause to race for. My Daughter spent a month in Dornbechers childrens cancer center, and i've got to tell you there's no more caring bigger hearted people than those who are effected by this directly and indirectly..Great job PRCR

Tim (olucky) knows this one better than just about anyone else - he's won many a race with non-premium equipment. Not that he can't afford it - but there is a measure of satisfaction from winning races with what many would consider sub-par stuff. It's a lesson that's taken me a long time to learn, but racing with a cheaper setup is still racing. Congratulations for winning with a beat up truck, you drove the wheels off it! The killer body made it looks new, at least.
