I do not know if you read my previous post or PM, but what Lola body is that and where did you get it?
I've been E-mailing GasRCCar about the Kawahara Lola body, but never get a response.

Well tomorrow morning I am going to race for the first time and am going to break in the engine during practice. Everything is set and ready to roll. I am a little nervous.
I've been into RC since 1984 with my Grasshopper and all I have done is backyard/street bashing since. I hope I do not look like a chump!

I charged everything last night and looked over/played with everything just in case I forgot something today.
I am in Atlanta right now for work, I'll be at the Sugar Bowl and attending TFB next weekend too (maybe today - they start late).
Orlando is the spot for racing. We have Superior Hobbies, Lakeland Raceway, and now Kissimmee Raceway! The closest is 20 minutes and the furthest is 1 hour away.

What shore are the factory HPI tires in the kit?
What is a good baseline set-up for a short track? The straight is 160 feet long and everything else is spirts and turns. I know that there are many factors, but am curious.
For starters I set the car up at the minimum wheelbase, stock supension settings (castor, diff oil, shock oil, springs, and shock locations), -2 camber front and rear, .5 toe out front, 0 toe rear. Sound OK?
It is a permanent track that is blown and sprayed with sugar before race day.

I would set 0 toe-in in the front and -2 toe-in in the rear.

PS. I bought a Serpent Porsche 962 200mm body today. I had to have a Lola, but www.gasrccar.com was out and this was close enough.
