July Results-
Hello All, not a great showing in July, I am hoping this is just a case of everyone being busy during the summer. I was lucky enough to have the track up for almost 2 straight weeks but then life got busy and we will have been away for four weekends straight. August is also going to be super busy but I will get some laps in.
With that said I liked this months track, having the three longer straights was nice and as I mentioned I started to get pretty good at hitting the two apexes coming off the long straight and then using some trailing throttle oversteer to pivot the car into the infield, when I got it right I would turn some wicked fast laps.
This was the first month for me running Box Stock and I have to say it is pretty amazing how well a Box Stock car runs with minimal work. I have cleaned the grease out of the bearings, broke in the motor , removed all the capacitors/thermal links from the motor, reversed the king pins, changed tires, and tried some different T-Plates. I am currently on stock front springs and the widest Kyosho G10 T-Plate in the back. The car is super consistent and just a joy to drive. I have been running either a 458 or a 599XX body, the 458 turned the fastest lap bit they are both really nice to drive.
Back on the subject of what surface to run on. I think after this month we are going to go to the smooth side. With participation where it is we need to do something to increase the number of participants and right off the bat I know 4 guys who run a Mini-96 on the smooth side so hopefully they will join us.
Alright, without further ado here are the times for July:
Box Stock-
1st LJH-392.0 Race Time/5.23s Average lap time/4.75 Fast Lap
Stock-
1st-LJH- 381.5 Race Time/5.09 Average Lap/4.62 Fast Lap
Pro-Stock
1st-LJH-368.9 Race Time/4.92 Average Lap/ 4.25 Fast Lap
Open 2WD
1st- Mattdaddy- 431.8 Race Time/5.76 Average Lap/4.64 Fast Lap
As mentioned the August circuit is the same as July except we are running counter clockwise.
Let's see what you can do.
Cheers,
Jim
