I just wanted to say that it sure was alot of fun getting back into the oval, Track was umm great after Cliff did 159 laps on the mower LOL... I'm not sure how but my son managed to get his car clean by the end of the night!

So what was the HOT tire to use?

[chadlow75]

If it was like last year then it will be red tapers early and inside jobs after the fluff goes away.

I think Chad meant to say Losi red IFMARs early/when track is heavy, then m3 inside jobs, OR (since inside jobs are getting hard to find) Losi pink/red taper pins. Green rounders worked good up front.

You HAVE met him before haven't you???;):ha::ha:

Any news on practice?

[2cells]

No practice on thursday. We were considering boats but the marshals would get boged in mud. I don't want to get dirty.

[chadlow75]

Cliff, do you know if the parts bin will be open?

[2cells]

yup

[2cells]

I took me a look at the track tonight, and it is looking REAL good. If it doesn't rain we are going to have a sweet track thursday. The score keepers are practiceing too.

Cliff wanting to make sure that thursday is a scheduled practice night I know guys need to get thier sliders ready to practice before they come out to race.

[2cells]

Tursday IS the regular practice night this year. Get them sliders ready for some racen and rubbin.

[ThisDougsForU]

The Skoal Bandit is heading out to Maryville on Thursday night! I'm meeting Cliff for his brushless system for my mini, and then I want to get some laps in! You guys run pin spikes on the rear correct ? Do you sell them onsite ?

[ThisDougsForU]

Thanks for getting me out there tonight Cliff, I had a lot of fun and it was definitely worth the hour drive. A great track you guys have out there.

I've got my mini-skoal bandit dialed in and I can't wait to race out there. The losi bowties on the back end have the perfect amount of slip & grip for my car.

[2cells]

Hey Doug,Glad to have you here tonight. Glad you got a grip on the track. Are those Proline bowties you mounted tonight? What springs are you useing? I want to look at your setup because it is SO mutch better than mine. Looking forward to seeing more of the Bandit.:thumbsup:

[low81ryder]

Big thanks to all the guys that showed up tonight. Special shout out to the nitro guys that came up from Murphysboro. Hope to see more of ya's. Had a dozen sprints. 10 MDM's, some open oval cars and 5 minis. Great time guys. Cyas all Sat. Sign up starts at 5:30 racing at 6;30 sharp. the ladies did a great job tonight. Everything startin to click. Thanks..Mouse:revs::revs::thumbsup::greenflag:

[rcdrtrcr]

Had a good practice night got the mdm figured out and was doing some good laps..No more mowing grass :ha::ha: Thanks for the help on the car tonight Matt very much appreciated. Jeremy

[overlandovalracer]

Not a bad night of practice for me, I just wish I had got there sooner to try more things on the new car/motor/speedo/batteries...The track was great, nice having the lights moved up so the bugs aren't annoying you while racing. Really lookin forward to saturday.

[draper_88]

the track was very hooked tonight im gonna try and get the sprint car back out there on Saturday to run with you guys it was a really good time tonight

[notSoMiniT23]

i went in circles. :thumbsup:

[racermatt]

A buddy of our is back from afganistan gonna hang out with him tonight. But should be seeing you. Im so ready to get on some dirty :thumbsup:

[DQbeck63]

I had a great time tonight....Its the first time I have even driven my new mini latemodel...or the first time I have ever drove an r/c car for that matter. It was a blast even though i spent more time spinning out than going in circles. Thanks to Cliff and Doug for all your help. I feel like im starting to get somewhere! Sorry to anyone who's way I got in last night...i need a yellow rookie stripe on the back!:ha::ha:

[ThisDougsForU]

Yeah I am using proline bowties on the rear end. For my setup I've got:

90 weight oil all around
Right front - Stiff spring w/ two of the thicker spacers
Left front - stock spring
Left Rear - stock spring, 1 thick spacer
Right rear - stock spring

It has my car set pretty well for both Smac & Maryville.

The big problem is that Jeremy let me drive his MDM last night and now I'm wanting to build one.:D And good job Matt on your first time...I didn't know it was your first time ever!
