Default New subject!

How in the hell do I extract this stripped out screw? I'll need it out as soon as I snap an A-arm and I'll be running it at Railyard tomorrow.

Everyone should have this set and a cordless driver in their toolbox.

Whenever I strip something that I aleays try putting a piece of wax paper in the hex and it usually breaks it loose but I can't be completely rounded, just slot it

All they said was they do rip because the rubber isn't as stretchy as other compounds. They didn't say it was a problem. They did say there always looking to improve on that. And it's also not just their tires but all brands have the same issue because clay compounds don't stretch.

Go take you 1:1 car slide into the curb and call Goodyear and tell them there's a problem with their tire. They will tell you the same thing I'm telling you, " Your a idiot"

Whatever. Spit my Chainlinks tonight around the back left corner while breaking. TWO sessions on those tires.

Exclamation Always racing!

Hella session tonight gents. Thanks Jason and Jason for the help. Awesome people at this track! I'm getting better, and I can't wait to find out what my lap times are if there is ever some kind of timing system invented. I'd pay like, a hundred dollars for something that could track my lap times. As I was packing it in I watched Mike just covering ground in his black truck. Cripes! Scary. I don't know who was piloting the buggy that was on the track with him, but damm, he was giving him a run too! Bring the ruckus!

A note... any volunteer turn marshals are welcome but the young ens need a certain amount of dexterity and attention. I got hit right square in the left ARSE cheekbone last time I was on the track, trying to fix a barrier tube, by a short course bumper! If that would have hit me in the face/eye/nose area, it not have been as laughed off. Many angels of the track could bring an out of control car ( like mine) to eye level of a little kid and I would be distraught if I hurt a mini turn marshaller - Agreed?

Yea those little kids that were marshaling towards the end of the night had me nervous. I got hit in the ankle this afternoon in the corner after the big double and it's all kinds of cool colors now, and I think there's an imprint of a B5m front bumper, lol!

Anyone know what happened to the normal kid that marshals? He bugged out around 3 o'clock and was never seen again. Maybe we stole his job.

That sucks, talked with guys that race there and Sjrc it only happens there. I raced there for the first series. Before the track was all cracked up. There were no tire problems then. The only difference is the track has giant cracks in it now! Which is why we haven't been there and won't be there until the problem is solved. When the track gets fixed we'll be back to support it. In the meantime there are to many other tracks to go race at where the conditions are good.
