Sounds good Joe!! Looking forward to seeing you again. I`ll be happy to have them in the showcase. The Braid Juice works great, can`t wait to try the tires.

Race on!

Hey Bear, were there any new bodies added this year to OCC events????? if so what body , what class?????????? also can you let me in on some insight on what gears im gonna need to be running at your shop for Gp-10 and GTP??????? Cheers!!!! HAHA

[Mr. Frank]

WHAT; You are realy going to bears this time WILL SEE [LoL]

[DirtyHairy]

the only thing you'll be seeing , is the back of my car!!!!!!! YEP i just went there!!!!!!!!! HAHA

[J&B Bear]

Hey Justin hope you do make it. So far the Champion Mosler MT-900 body that we ran in the Enduro at Rt. 93 was added. And thinking of a couple more. It`s not like we don`t already have 16 different bodies now with most using about 3 or 4 of them.

On the gearing: Gr 10 are in the ballpark 10 or 11/37. Maybe a 9 if it`s a rocket.
And an 8 or 9/36 or so on the GTP.

On both classes add 1 tooth to the pinion at a time till you lose your brakes and then back it down 1. All motors are different in what they want to be run at and still have brakes. With the different Cans, Magnets, and Air Gaps. You`re limited to .575 and larger on Gr 10 and no airgap rule on GTP. All the rules are on the website. www.jandbraceway.com

Basically if it runs well on your Dad`s King it`ll be good on my track guide spacing and all. The biggest difference is you can normally lower the spur by 1 or 2 on my track. And that`s not a life or death thing on the way the car performs by any means. Cool?

Race on!

Bear,

What about some of the newer O/S or Red Fox Bodies for Grp 10 LMP?

Steve H.

[DirtyHairy]

thanx for the info bear!!!! cant wait till the season starts

[J&B Bear]

Good to hear Justin. I`m looking forward to it myself.

On the bodies Steve:
The OS have never been sent to me for approval. The Red Fox bodies have never been sent either and seem to have too much rear wing from what I`ve seen, they`re hard to get, and would obsolete what we`re running now. Plus like I said we already have a ton of bodies. I`m still open to others in the next month or so but they will have to conform to the standards of what we are currently running and be readily available from the distributors.
I lobbied for wedges coming back in Gr 10`s and was voted down which was cool. But by the same token I can`t see the sense in allowing the shovels that some are putting on the backs of their bodies now.

Race on!
Bear

[Steve H.]

Thanks Bear, out of the legal bodies which do you like for each class. Thanks

[J&B Bear]

Personally I like the Parma Mercedes CLK GT 1 or their Porshe for GT 1 for my track. They are abit shorter and seem to work well. Though some like the JK Mercedes.

The Parma Dome or MG EX 257 also the JK Cadillac for Gr 10. I`ve had real good luck with all of them and can`t say one is better than the other. Just whichever you think looks cooler. Guys also run the Ascari, Lola Judd, his Audi, all JK. So there are many that work good. Just the others were my Preference.

And for GTP the O/S Cadillac seems the best by far. Second goes to the O/S Mercedes.
I get the B which is supposed to be .010 and is actually about .007 when the regular is .007 and seems more like .005. If you want light and a one race body I have them too.

Cheers!

OK Boys, Fremont on the 16th., Ride in the same car, the winner gets the ride home. The loser gets to find one.
Hmmmmmmmmm Interesting Concept....LOL

But really Justin, the Ol` Man has alot of laps on the Clip so if you wanna have a legitimate shot you really should get here and practice racing your car and not your keyboard Bro. And always remember don`t let your mouth write a check your a$$ can`t cash.
Just my advice take it for what it`s worth. Not too much most of the time to most....LOL.

But I must admit you two do keep a thread Interesting.

Race on!

Mr. Frank

[Brian]

Can't wait, still tuning. Tough to keep on top of all the "OCC" & "IRRA" cars . Looking forward to racing on one of my favorites - the "Paperclip" .

Looking forward to seeing everybody, its been 2yrs. since I've raced that series - having withdraws . Pa. up first then Fremont - busy Jan. Scuzoo will be racing the "OCC" along with a possible 5 others from here - we'll see.

[J&B Bear]

Sounds good Bri, the more the better. All are welcome! I`ve been enjoying some good Retro Racin` too.

As for Justin Frankie, I`m sure you`ll have to build the wife a car. I`ve seen her race and she`ll do well I`m sure. Plus she`ll need to come along so the youngun` will have someone to cry to on the way home.....LOL. Just kiddin` Justin.

It`ll all be fun no matter what. That`s why we do it.
A ton of good racers this year. Got some new ones at my store too. No gimmies that`s for sure!

Race on!
