As long as people are showing up I will be there Mitch!

See you tonight.

I mean, LeMans was some of the closest racing I have seen in our club.....is this really much of a problem?

I think discretion is the main thing. If I thought I had the fastest car on the straights then I would just find another one of my 10 black stripes to put in like you did. My car isn't the fastest on the straight. I honestly think the H&R in my gt40 is much faster than the motor I currently have in my lemans car.

Just seems like if the racing is good and we haven't spent any extra, then why go spec motor on another class.

Thanks for having us Stan. It was a good time.

I will try and keep my cars together next time!

I will be at sema, and hopefully go from there straight to the 24hr.

Turnout isnt looking too good for that date!

Zack

Mitch, yours must have screamed! My stock one was only 19 xxx, which is about what my 3 broke in fly motors are.

Zack

Doc, i am hoping not I will be at SEMA that week.

The car was on 15x12 cb design wheels and F1 sized NSR Supergrips. I think that is the primary advantage of the 512, the rear tires are huge, so with no power it is easy to get something that is just locked in all the time!

What an great night at Al's place! We had good racing across all the classes and a big turnout for the first points event of the year.

Al pulled out the win over me by just a couple tenths of a lap, he put in some work on his car in the down time and it showed. With my first heat being a little rough I couldn't catch him!

In LeMans the whole middle of the field was tight, and it was some of the best racing I have seen at Al's place. Almost every heat had great battles throughout.

Open is always fun, Rico's and Kouba's slot.it cars beating out a few thunderslots for the podium!

Rico won BRM as usual! Kouba gave him a heck of fight however, with only a few tenths victory.

I got a couple shots of the podium cars and whatnot.....

Thanks for the great fun guys!

As the rule is, I think leaving the screws loose on the back of that chassis would be a real grey area. It says "separate articulating" in the first part. But I think the last sentence would exclude being able to use this chassis with the rear screws loose, because it specifically says: No movement or dampening is allowed between the main chassis piece and the motor pod.

That said, It seems the 3d chassis are softer than the normal plastic ones so there may be some more flex in there just because of that. On top of a possibly lower ride height.

Rule:
Chassis construction must be rigid with no separate articulating pieces such as hinged side pans, motor pods, or suspension type front axle mounts. Podded chassis will be allowed in Division I provided the chassis motor pod mounting screws are tightened AND the pod is permanently glued making the chassis compliant with the solid chassis rule.
