Amigos,

With much regret I will not be attending this weekend's OCC racing event due to a Family Wedding of my nephew.
I will see everyone next month OCC event. This is a tough decision since I'm 2nd in points in GT1B. But you gotta take one for the team once in a while!

Adios

[Frankie Schaffier]

Hello Frank, Thank you for the welcome!

I'll be running Group10, I don't have any cars set up for 1/8" axles. Since getting back into the hobby this year I've made a couple of races at J&B with another race there tomorrow night plus about three practice days. I've got the straights down, it's the corners I'm struggling with now.

My goal is that when you hold the finishing order upside down at the end of the day, my name isn't on top.

Thanks again for the welcome,
Frankie

[willy wonka]

Well u have 3 days to set up with 1/8 inch stuff.. Gt1 is a really fun race because if u don't fall out it keeps the racing real close and exciting

[Mr. Frank]

Yes it does Willy...

FAST , FUN AND FAIR.. OOhh , can't forget the food..

Mr. Frank

[Kit Henry]

Frankie:

We have a coupleGT-1's on the counter, or I have a spare, if you want to run it we can have a car for YA !

Kit

[Frankie Schaffier]

You know you guys are okay.. I recieved a couple notes offering cars for me to use. I'll take someone up on the offer, I could always use more track time that's for darn sure. And if you guys want something fun to watch, just stand there and watch me solder in a motor and try to get gear lash. The good news is that Kit is feeding everyone so you guys can eat while I solder in a motor.

Many thanks again guys!!
Frankie

[willy wonka]

[flem1959]

Yes it does Willy...

FAST , FUN AND FAIR.. OOhh , can't forget the food..

Mr. Frank

What was the fastest lap time in GT1 on your King at that race?

[Mr. Frank]

5.3...5.4.... I do believe, Cap and myself were very close the hole race...

Pertty good for a handout motor...
On an ORIGNAL AMERICAN KING...


Mr. Frank

[willy wonka]

This guy don't stop does he? Faster isn't always better..........if u want fast then gp10 or gtp is ur thing......

[flem1959]

I looked it up and Brain Cox ran 5.05 for Best Lap Time in Flexi GT at the Retro Race last December at your track.
Just wanted to compare the difference in speed.
Roughly .3 or .4 Sec faster with the Falcon and open gearing.
That`s a pretty significant difference for a motor that doesn`t cost as much as the Deathstar.


I haven`t read any complaints about the Flexi GT Cars being too fast for beginners.

[willy wonka]

Faster isn't always better..........if u want fast then gp10 or gtp is ur thing......

[flem1959]

Frank- Wouldn`t you like to sell 20 Falcon Motors every time you host an OCC Race?

Willy- It`s racing and if you can go faster without spending more money, then HELL YES, FASTER IS BETTER!
Besides being faster, the cars handle better and are easier to drive with the little Falcon vs. the heavy 16D.

[willy wonka]

I'm not for it or against it what ur talking about....... What make me wonder is we have a guy complainin about some thing he hasn't even raced b4 in OUR series that I know of...... So why r they gonna change something for a guy who don't even attend the events........ I thought cheater locked the last thread becasue this same argument...... Just my 2 cents
