Are to going to make the body lines angular, or are to going to build some wooden bucks to hammer out some sexy curves?

Basically its the same rules as our classic sports car class, it just has a 13K motor limit. This year we get to use urethane tires where before they had to be Ninco classics. The reason for the slower motor is because most of the tracks are not like Bill's and Al's, they are smaller and tighter so top speed isn't the focus as much as smooth handling.

I ran my Mustang for a long time and just couldn't come out on top. I finally switched to a Camaro. It turns out it wasn't the car.

Especially in that narrow track Mustang. That 1/8"-1/4" difference between the Mustang and the Camaro is huge. Great driving job. On the other hand my 10th place finish is looking better and better. ;-)

I'm not on call any more, I'll give it some consideration. 40 minutes heats you say, I was only partly kidding when I joked about my 3 minute attention span.

Since September 13 was actually a Tuesday this year does that mean we are starting tomorrow night 9/15? If so we should bring a trans am car? Or did you mean October 13th? Either way I'm ready, lets go.

Mine's fixed, had to find a new O ring at the local hardware store and put a new grommet on the wire. With Rico's new axle it appears to be ready to go.

Re: BRM Tuning (62 replies, posted in Cars)
Uh, Ummm, I've been testing your tires for the last two races, but with the front end issues I still finished near the bottom. Last race in the first heat I got a little too wide on Al's bank and Monte broadsided me so hard my car broke. I borrowed one of Rico's cars and had my best finish ever in that class.

Looks like Dennis had a three wheeled car on the tow back up, but it doesn't appear to help. Wheel Diameter makes a difference too. Those taller wheels have the bearings working only about half as hard as Dennis's smaller wheels.

Re: BRM Tuning (62 replies, posted in Cars)
I put the axle I got from Rico (thanks again Rico) into mine, it seems smoother but my straightaway isn't really long enough to get it up to speed.

There is a brake, but it kind of reminds me of how Fred Flintstone stopped his car. It does seem to work though.

I've got a couple of pretty good podless classic sports cars I'll try out at the next race. The last time I tried them everybody else was running pod cars. I'll just have to get me a big mega box like Monte so I can bring everything.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,147 replies, posted in NASTE)
Monte, except for a couple of de-slots you would have had me. You had the faster car in both races. Oh and if I bumped you once or twice, it was an accident.

Now that's not a GPS unit on the dash is it? If we need a GPS to get to the bottom of the hill we might not finish so good.

Re: BRM Tuning (62 replies, posted in Cars)
I might have to join you, my new front ties came today, but my track is too small to get up to tire hopping speed. I suppose I could turn the voltage up, but there is a wall behind turn one.

Re: Cars by Mitch Brooks (9 replies, posted in Cars)
According to my wife, the trick is to paint the car the color you want the stripes, then mask off the stripes, paint over the tape with the same color. After it dries paint it again the color you want. Later when you peel the masking off it won't have bled through. I've yet to try it myself, but the next one I do, I'm going to do it.
