F1 - 25.5 motors - I guess we call that UF1 rules now? Is there a spec tire for F1?

Thanks!

I have discussed this with some of the Slowbirds steering committee, and since that 28th is a Sat.. and some folks that travel couldn't make that date anyway, we decided to keep the Slowbirds on the Original date we announced a few months ago..

That said, would enjoy having you and the boys come down for some Saturday and Sunday running... The Slowbird event day is the 29th ( sunday )

Saturday the 28th is our normal race day and Slowbird warmup day
What's good Casey. So faced with an option to race TCS or with you... its a simple decision. Unless something comes up and I'm not racing that weekend. I'll see you at 180 Raceway. I've always loved that track and the pit area. It will be great to race with the MD crew again. I'm just about finishing up the boys TA-07 for USGT class and TCS racing. I hope the boards at the track and nailed down!!!!

I'm here, track is warm. Be careful driving, we will be here all day. Can start whenever or just practice, either is fine. No rush

Slowbirds

The Slowbirds/VTA race sounds like it may just may make me come out of hibernation.

VTA

Casey/all

- Casey, thanks for the words of welcome... it'll be good to see you too.

- The VTA car refresh/rebuild starts now. This will involve a lot of guesswork, since this chassis hasn't even been near carpet.

- Any one have suggestions for approximate gearing/FDR for a Motive 25.5 BL motor on the 180 track?

Thanks,

Rod

I think you'll want to start around a 3.6 fdr. I'm going to talk to Paul today so I'll ask what he would suggest
