Jerry I love ya and May Bear rest in peace, though Bear unfortunately is the one that condemed my hillclimb because he couldn't drive it with the faster cars, and you guys all took his word as the gospel. He had no real issue with GT-1's on the track, and nobody else has either.

Yes it aggravates the hell out of me that one person was able to condem a huge investment with little practice, maybe he was having a bad racing day that day !

I'm sorry isn't this racing ?
Isn't there suppose to be some challange to it ?
Even Cap is grumbling as he hasn't practiced on this track either, maybe it will take away the home field advantage !

Kit Henry Unfortunately Bear not here to give the reason he did for not race OCC last year on the hillclimb all I know is he destroyed a new JK 25 GTP in the bank and it wasn't his fault. It's a nice track so run what you want it's just not for me . It's all good have fun that what it's all about !! It don't matter much to me cause i'm about to retire from slot racing and be like Jimmey and just build stuff and go have some fun now and then. Jerry

[Cap Henry]

Jerry, thats why only GT-1 is going to be run on the hillclimb, as they will go throught the bank no prob.

[One_Track_Mind]

I always have to run a practice car on your track first,

Now,now Cap!
What did you tell me at Rt93 about running practice(junk)cars? you'll get practice or junk results!

Jerry, thats why only GT-1 is going to be run on the hillclimb, as they will go throught the bank no prob.

Also Jerry, the JK X25 didn't come out til August of 2010, so he didn't wreck one of those at our store...

OPPS sorry it was a JK-7 025 new one he just got on E-Bay !! Like i said Cap run what you want on the hillclimb and have a fun day ...

[Cap Henry]

It's different when you know your gunna wall it within the first 10 laps

After the first wreck its out of my system and I grab a race car

[willy wonka]

Thanx for the info. Another stupid question how much do u have to change as far as guide depth go?? I mean change from what we run at Rt93?? Any help would be great.

Hey Willy!
That's not a stupid question! I would like to know this one also!

I hear ya, Cap...good thing your not taking that approach with the real sprint cars!

[Cap Henry]

I'll measure the braid depth this afternoon.

Brian, yea that surely would get expensive!

[willy wonka]

[willy wonka]

[Cap Henry]

Hey Willy, I apologize, got busy leaving for a big race and forgot to check it, will get it for you here in a bit.

[willy wonka]

[Cap Henry]

No, I have already takin all my cars apart and sent motors out for rebuilds. I was up at M&T in Michigan running in the Mid-West Series run by Rob Garland and Joe Liguori

[willy wonka]

[willy wonka]

Thanx for the info

[One_Track_Mind]

HI Cap,
Please remind me again? what class of cars are running on what track?

Thank you

[Cap Henry]

I'm not sure if Frank and my dad have decided yet, but last I heard GT1 was on the Hillclimb, and Group 10 and GTP on the Kingleman.

Maybe Frank will chime in on the official decision.

[Mr. Frank]

YES Cap, that sounds like the plan... I think the GT/1 class will be a blast on that track.. GP/10 and GTP should be on the kingleman..

Can't wait !!!!!!

Mr. Frank

Mr. Frank GT-1

[willy wonka]

Yea can't wait either this should be a blast to run two different tracks!!!! HMS have a oval????

[Mr. Frank]

They sure do... Not sure if it's set up though ???
Maybe Cap can answer that question....



Mr. Frank

[Cap Henry]

Yea the oval is set-up, all tracks were freshly cleaned and glued last week, if they need it, it will be done again before the Friday practice day

[Kit Henry]

Hey guys come up this Sunday and get a good day of practice in. For the second race at HMS we will try like HECK to have the King Running

If any one needs a place fro friday night we have a guest room at the house and a couple fold couches in the basement and our living room

Food appears as though it will be homemade menu at this time is Sloppy Joe's, Potato Salad, Pasta Salad and Mrs. Henry's awesome cut out cookies
I unfortunately will be relegated to a good salad as I am trying to shed some pounds for health reasons !

The basement you may want to ask Cap if he has cleaned it lately !
