Any one in for Open Lates. If I have to I will put the smallblock in but I would love to run the open car.

[kerstetter]

Put the small block in jim there were 24 limited this week and only 3 open so I dont think thats gonna change could be wrong though:rolleyes:

[FREEZER]

Yes i know i seen, just trying to keep laps off of that engine. Maybee I can race against the EDM's Kick the Dirty One's A#$. LOL.

[Dan D]

come on Jim run limited. i need to get a couple more laps on mine.

[mikeschellracing]

i won't be able to make it next week. gotta say limited is a blast. good close racing. it's always more fun when you race against 20 some cars. it makes qualifying mean something.

[kerstetter]

yeah I agree its great running in a big class quote=mikeschellracing;348908]i won't be able to make it next week. gotta say limited is a blast. good close racing. it's always more fun when you race against 20 some cars. it makes qualifying mean something.[/quote]

Guys, just my 2 cents ... experienced / more talented racers should step up from the limited classes. The limited classes are meant to give less experienced / less talented racers a place to learn it out and race it out with a chance to WIN. Experienced / talented racers like you guys will eventually kill the core purpose of the limited classes.

Think about it.

i should be running OLM this saturday jim

Steve.I'm pretty sure the limited class was made to keep racing cheaper. I think it has to some extent but I don't think it was ever made to be a learning class for guys to have a chance to WIN.

[DirtRacer]

I'm planning on having the OLM there.

[kerstetter]

O boy what 2 say ok phil what do U think of the 13.5 class then because 13.5 is 2 electric what limited is 2 nitro these are not beginner classes in any way were just all running the same H.P. witch is great makes better racing and steve you say we should get out of it because it give other people a chance to win The more talent you run against the better you will become Finally someone that understands!!!!

[Rcer19]

The more talent you run against the better you will become

Hey Coop, i guess there is no talent in open then,

Nick- 1
Rob- 0

[DaBearsNo13]

Finally someone that understands!!!!

I 100% agree...just think about it....Rob has a list keeping people from these classes at the USOWC for a reason. That is proof right there that it is for newer people. Weekly it gets a great turn out, but I still believe that the newbies should be the bulk (if not all) of the entries in all of the limited classes! Once you have either won so many races, or reach a certain level, you should be asked to move up.

Just my thoughts! ;)

Russ

[spottednewt]

Bunch of Cherry Pickers! :DLOL

I liked when Steve runs the 13.5 class on the tour, he's a good measuring stick. It would be cool to see a Electric Mod LM class. I ran a 10.5 class at Coopers last spring and had a boat load of fun.

SB

[kerstetter]

There is a ton of talent in open great I have no prob with you running that run it. I dont run this class because its slower or easier I love the idea of 1 motor for every1 and you can't modifiy it in anyway and I don't care what motor would of been picked for this class could of been a tz 5 port same power plant for every1 thats what I like now if I lose I dont go well I need more motor The more talent you run against the better you will become

Correct me if I am wrong but did you not run 13.5 LM all summer on the PA nitro tour?

[TQ Cells]

Correct me if I am wrong but did you not run 13.5 LM all summer on the PA nitro tour?

It was the only class in which I could run the car I designed (CW Intimidator SE) ... shall have there been a faster class I would've run it.

Steve.

[spottednewt]

He did, But there is not a lot of options if you want to run the Electric LM class. Not even for the weekly racing.

SB

[spottednewt]

A long time ago when I first started racing they had a beginner class. If you won 3 a mains (1st) you moved up in class. Maybe the same rules could be applied to the spec class. If you win 3 spec classes you move up to open or mod?

Had there been another option I am sure a handfull of us would have run it. Case in point, when a mod class is offered I always run it rather than the 13.5 option, like at the OW.

Steve.i agree 100%. but on most regular race weeks at bumps there aren't any olm. for instance, the only way to get my 8th dodc national points race in this weekend was to run llm[only 5 nitro edm and 5 olm]. neither class had enough to count.

[BOOSIER RACING TIRES]

I would prefer to run open LM on a weekly basis, but not with only (3) cars. LLM has 15+ cars every week...

Count me in for OLM this weekend.......

[Bandit19]

Getting back to the topic... I'll run Open lates on the 31st as well.:ha::cool::beer:

I will have my open car there if someone wants to wheel it. Steve its all your if you want it buddy! ;) Yes I fixed it, so it might actually be able to do a lap now! :thumbsup:

[signman501]

Somthing about The Newt and a nitro car just don't sound right. I can't make it so I won't have to watch it :yellowflag::blackflag:

[spottednewt]

Thanks Russ! I would run it, but I won't be able to make this weekend! I would like to give it another try sometime, Honestly I think Nitro cars and me don't mix. Every time I grab a wheel they stop working, I think its Karma. Like I said, I like the ease of use of electric flip the switch and zoom........

sure it is, now that i know the whole story..................LMAO.

[spottednewt]

I was caught up in the moment! In a hurry to get my car broke in practice!

[Dan D]

thats why it was so funny after hearing the story. i thought you forgot to tighten it and it came off...........LOL. didnt realize you left the trailer without the tire and some other parts.................LMAO

[irocz69]

I'll wheel it for ya Russ.

GO FAST TURN LEFT ! Keith S.

[spottednewt]

You would think I would notice the car be so much lighter:confused:. Then again I knew you would be out there so thats about 4 extra wheels I could use to get through the corners, its always good when friends are willing to help one another out.:D

Keith, the car is fast like a missile, I missed turning going into corner 3.:D

SB

[irocz69]

Ok, Nick, Russ, & Steve S. according to what y'all are saying, I guess im a cherry picker then. My outlook on this is the 13.5 class & the old 27turn class is some of the most competitive racing there is & thats why I run it ! Running w/Salvas this summer was some of the most fun I have had in years. Thats not to mention the cost. It is a lot cheeper for me to run 13.5 of LLM than it is to run OLM. I also thought the reasoning behind the LLM & LSprint classes where to keep cost down for the racers, not to limit them to certain classes ! Plus, I know on top of all this bull, that some of the people presently running the open classes would also like to run the other classes. Quite a few of us that ran together for years have already had this conversation, but now I guess they just call it cherry pickin ! Again, just somebody elses :twocents:

GO FAST TURN LEFT ! Keith S.

[signman501]

as long as all 4 wheels are on the car.

That whole conversation is just plain funny :D

[signman501]

As for the so called cherry pickin, I don't go for it. All the 13.5 classes and the limited classes ought to be open to anybody. The motor & batt/engines are the same, it still is open to driver & setup. Can't get with the money because it's not a big thing. A $500 engine with a weak tuner/driver won't beat a $150 good motor with a good tuner/driver.
If you have a novice or sportsmen class that is for beginners. Mostly everyone in the central pa wants to run with the big boys. We saw that when Newville had the novice classes. Everyone ended up running in the open classes and the novice classes died.

I'm not one of the better drivers but a lot of guys don't say anything on the stand. I have a problem with it because I have a problem with where I am on the track. Sometime I wish the tracks would mark the turns, either on the wall or the surface 1,2 & 3,4. It may sound stupid but I do have a mental block about where I am and I tend to get lost.

Now I like racing with Keith & Steve S. and the other good runners. I've learned a lot from them. I do my best to try to stay out of the way but I try to follow them when I can. It has helped alot, although it may not show it.

I just wanted to throw in my nickels worth.

[Rcer537]

I'll be there jim, will have open late model ready to shake dowm. Good luck may the best man win

Hey Jimmy,

OK, I'll dig out my LM for a shake down run......... and yes its true, I still owe you for sure, I haven't forgot, you're a true gentlemen....... I'll try harder to stay out of the way!....... The big block is going to stay on the shelf, got my new MaxPower for the LM in the truck for break-in......... got some home made LM tires to R&D........ last Sat I got my clock cleaned indoor road racing at Horsham, hopefully I'll do a little better back on the oval................

OH and yes I'll be there with mine...................unless the $$$ say otherwise.

[JohnnyO]

Hey Perry,

The other problem about being an old guy, is you forget a lot things....... I forgot just how bad I was at road racing!!......... then my friends told me that indoor Touring Car on rubber tires is one of the hardest....... what did I know, looked like fun!!......... Hey here's a good laugh........ I spent all night painting up my new ProtoForm body so at least I'd look good........ well as soon as I pulled it out to show it off, they started to laugh at me, I was caught a little off guard and didn't know just what was so funny...... anyway it turns out the Touring car guys DON'T put numbers on, and I had mine all decked out with my #22's!!!!!!!!!!........... Oh well, turns out my driving was even funnier, but I was hell going into the sweeper! even if it was the wrong way!!!
