Josh Jake and I hit up IRH on Sunday and had an awesome time. No HACKING was done (larry) but in all seriousness, the program ran really smoothly and here are couple of things they did differently that helped the program.

-ONE lap to check in cars and PARKED till name is called
-You Marshall or you don't race next round
-Once race is over you don't take a lapm you pull car of to the side

Also i am not sure if this is reasonable thing to do, but the dirt there is just insane. Really wet and sticky. Was running V1 Barcodes and was hooked up like no other. Also felt really smooth, and no "craters". Also 10x cleaner, no dust. Maybe that would be a good investment Mark? Close the track for a week or so and just take all old dirt out, clean walls, leaf blow out the pit area, and bring in new dirt. I would be glad to help.

i agree wiht you wilson. rChR is awesome but can definitely be a bit cleaner. I have gone to many tracks around the US and mostly indoor. Some clean and some not so much. My point is that I would like to see some other racers at RcHr help out on the track for a share of time. Just sweep, add clay instead. So much more traction with clay. And clean off the place a little bit maybe with a duster for the pits.

Some changes that i would like to see that are on other tracks as well are:

- Clay track
- clean walls
- clean pits
- front door can be bigger or can stay open because i always have trouble keeping it open when i try to get my pit bag in
- get rid of craters
- * RULES

some rule changes that should be made:

- NO HACKING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, unless of course an accident
- dont race the leader, let them pass
- one lap before race starts to check in
- Marshall or dont race
- exit the track right when race is over
- sweep, if you make a clay otrack then you dont have to sweep every race. Only once a round or so

These changes could make a hell of a difference in the racing program. I for sure would love that to happen. maybe if you can get some people to help out with this then thatd be great. I would come help if you could let this happen.

Hope this helps!

That's how I announce the program, In fact, that's also how I race myself as an example. Racers simply ignore the race director. Not sure at this point how to get you guys to work together anymore. I know I'm getting tired of wasting my time trying.

Sorry, but we don't have the $10,000 dollars to buy and have the clay delivered.

Hey mark
I have been hearing of some people using the originall b4 shock bushing (the clear ones) in the b4.1 and say it makes a pretty big difference because there is not as much shock "stiction" is this true or have you heard anything about doing this.
Thanks

$100 towards future races, or $100 donation to the track? Either way, I'm in.

Are you talking about the O-ring, or the bushing on the top hat that rotates on the shock mount?

Alright just thought i would throw you the idea. I new clay was expensive but not that expensive. Isn't IRH a Clay-Top soil mix? How about that maybe?
