this is the first apart from the other day i have heard of the fins breking loose on the cooling heads , do they break away in the same spot on every head ?

+1 on that.

Haven't had one break on me yet, but I have seen a couple at the track.
It's hard to break anything when you aren't racing because it keeps raining every weekend :flaming: Looks like another another wash out this weekend too :cry:
Only up side is I have saved a small fortune on nitro and tyres :cool:

grizz it a positive in its own way i guess :eek:

BUT YOU MUST FEED THE ADDICTION :lol:

i missed out racing last weekend to due to very bad weather hope its better when i get home next week :nod:

Running in a new Gen 5 5 Port for another racer, workiing on my latest project (1/8 on-road thrash machine), and of course talking with you fellow nitro heads, has kept me sane during this weather. So I am not totally nito-less :) But I am itching to get out on the dirt and DO IT !!!!!!

Don't worry Grizz we maybe getting our new pipes this weekend:D

so at least that will give us both something to sit and look at untill the next break in the weather:lol:

Adrian:sneaky:

Hey Grizz,you should come down to Taranaki,we are racing this weekend and the forecast is sh*t hot:smile:I`ve got about 16tanks through the 5.5 5port so should be able to give it a little tweak for the weekend:sneaky:

Retro,don`t burst my bubble:cry:I was going on what Jim said last night.His map showed the Naki missing all the crap and sunshine all weekend.I just hope he has it right for a change.Way too long between races,especially with the new combo.

Man I hope for your sake he's right but Metvuw's normally pretty good, there are still a few days before so things can change... well I hope they change it's been way too long between dirt fixes for me:cry:

And RC racer is off line aswell

LOL, you guys are HOOKED just as bad as I am!!!

Hi ya Adrian - Hmm 2072 pipes this weekend, that would be nice.

Looks like the RC Racer boys forgot to pay their web hosting bill :D

I hope the weather clears for Hamilton. I am really looking forward to a playing in the dirt, and catching up with the guys. All this being stuck inside and at work has made me a little stir crazy. Even our on-road carpark meetings have been cancelled the last two fortnights in a row - so NO NITRO :cry:
Hope to see you at the Tron on Sunday.

Doesn't it just rip your sack when the weather is awesome during the week, and then takes a turn for the worst on Sundays?:cry:

Last time out we just started racing when it began raining, so we decided to do a single race in each class. This is what my cars looked like after 1 race.

Buggy was first, so no major problems:

It wasn't quite so much fun cleaning them as it was getting them dirty.:D
I think winter can really pack it's bags now and let summer come back.:nod:
