No problem, Theo. Take this for what it's worth coming from a carpet racing n00b like me, but your car looked close. It might just be a tire issue. Maybe dropping down to the next softer compound is all you need to do to get back the grip that you were missing.

It's not about if you can use all of the power. You don't have to use all the power it's about having the power there to use when you need it. so now when the race is not about who has more power, you'll see who has the skill alot easier. and remember i'm an old man and no matter what i do you should still be able to out drive me. but do i sence alittle nervousness because your going to have to show more of your skill then power, being that the other guys now are going to be just as powerful as you? Remember Alex you've had the power on us for the past two years now it's time to start driving (not that you don't) Cause it will be harder to win bhaving everyone more equal in power. Let me tell you, we had so much fun this past weekend being that the 19t were used. and it was all about how close the racing was not about who won because they had more power. Oh! and Mario Again I must Say awesome Driving this past Sunday And be for you think on saying anything about what i just wrote ZIP IT.
See Ya At The Track,

Thanks, Jaime. You did a great job too. There were a couple times where you could have easily done a bump-n-run on me, but you didn't and I appreciate that. It seems like everyone stepped up their game about 3 notches since 2 weeks ago. I can only imagine how good we'll all be by the end of the season.

Hey whats up?We're really not running to ROAR rules"by the letter".We got together and found 19t brushed/17.5 brushless worked for us.Mario.

Motorhead,A) it's really not my decision alone...bring it up sunday.The decision was mostly Jamie and Bill.No,I'm not putting it on them.Is this Dylan? Which brushless are you using? I was pulling Mickey on the straight with mine(LRP/trinity combo).It is a bit iffy...it does make it ALOT about setup and driving.The brushed do seem to have ..just a bit of an edge..MAYBE.My vote is to keep playing until we find what works for all.Last week,Jeremy won using a stock motor..it was toast,a bit,but he did win.

OH My God! All The CryingAll cause i wanted us to have a good time racing each other instead of working all season long on just going faster than the other guy. in that case lets do what should have been done from the beginning, the brushless run with the brushless and the 19t turn run with the brushed 19t and lets stop wasting time on all this BS,lets just go race and have fun out driving each other rather then out powering each other, easy as that! 19t Is cheaper too. Oh and by the way, i don't know why my other post came up twice
See Ya Sunday,
JC

Whining quote was directed at him,not you...READ.Did not consider your posts whining.The oval guys do whine...they start a class and when someone WORKS harder than someone else,the whining begins and the class goes away.So do the roadcourse guys...obviously.Yes...WAY too much drama.AT THE MOMENT...IT IS 17.5 BRUSHLESS/19T BRUSHED.Ya all know...we can vote on this.THAT would solve alot.Wouldn't it.Peace and love to all.Mario.

Me too.Which,unfortunatly,is why I get involved in ths "stuff".The vote idea ,I think,is best because like Bill did with the oval guys,it can be done anonimously.This will,hopefully,kill any hard feelings over the vote direction.I'm still on the fence about 19t/17.5 to be honest but,am going with it to see whats up.2 weeks for the vote????...would like Kate to be there and also it will give us the time to get the word to Everyone.OR?????Let things go this way for awhile,then vote???Once again...peace and love to all,Mario.
