Default Saturday

Assuming that by Saturday:

1. The glaciers from tonight's ice age have receded
and
2. I'm feeling up to snuff

I'll be running some kind of 17.5 Touring. "Open" if I feel barave enough, "spec" if I wienie out.


I think I'll leave the "big" motors alone until spring/outdoors.

Default Anybody running tonight?

What are the roads like in Frederick? They're okay here in Ashburn, but I don't want to trek all the way up there if no one is racing spec.

Tarik,

If " the eyes are the window of the soul";

does that mean Ray's soul is trying to escape?

Hey Casey -

If there aren't any in the shop, could order a couple sets of the Spec Tire/Wheel required for Mini at TCS? Part # Tamiya 1016

Thanks!

for mini practice purpose, spec tires are S Grips, with Tamiya Hard Foam inserts.

FF03 was fun up in Ct. we ran them with GT 2 cars, actually liked the car a lot, it responds to set up changes, uses spec tires, hope to see some at the C soon, I will be in after the Super Bowl to run it.

Got the gearing in the ballpark , I did some trial and error testing ! only cooked 1 Silver can

Hey Casey - Yeah, I've been practicing with S Grips that I setup, but I other than Tamiya U.S.A, I can't seem to find any shops that have them in stock. I want the official spec set weeks in advance of TCS if possible. Tamiya USA wants $45/set.

I think Mark T. had/has an FF03. I don't know of anyone else, though.
