I have a few firehoses, under the drivers stand. I will try to figure out a hook up for them. Great idea.

We are going to postpone it for a few weeks ( 2 or 3 ). There are three BIG races next weekend. 2 of which are ROAR races. Blue Diamond being one of them.

So, we are not racing this weekend at Altoona. We will have practice this Thursday evening though. Lost Creek is running on the 6th. I may head there for the day.

My Losi had the original RTR motor mounts. They were too high. I mentioned that on Saturday to Jason M.. He said he had a set. Jason went out of his way today to drop them off to me. Thank you Jason.

That is what this hobby is all about. People helping each other. Tom and Jason stayed late Saturday helping people they never met before. THAT makes owning a track worth it to me. Not to mention watching the young racers and their smiles from ear to ear.

Thank you all for being so cool and making me proud of our racers at the Altoona Raceway

I agree with you Rob. I have had a lot of help from Tom, Brad, CR and others...thanks. Now I just need about 15 gallons of driving and I may be a little more competitive.

Default Saturday evening

I was thinking today about the guy I was helping with the kyosho inferno. His engine power is kicking in way too late. I thought further today about it and it is his clutch shoes are not grabbing. If he put another set of shoes with springs I bet that thing would rip like it should. No problem helping out Saturday or anything. I think most of us can say it's just an addiction.
