I've heard several formats for the next race at HMS. What's the scoop?

[Mad Mexican]

Amigo Ron

With so many tracks available at HMS I guess, they are going to keep us in the dark to the last minute.
Then they will draw from a hat. Or we run on Jerry Ward's favorite track the HMS HILLCLIMB
I guess they are keeping a tight lid on this one.

Talked to Kit last night and from what he told me is that GT-1 will be on the kingleman and 10's and GTP on the king . Jerry

[willy wonka]

I belive were racing atleast gp.10/ gtp on the new king. Me and Mr Frank were talking and im pretty sure thats what he said as far as gt1 im not so sure tho.

[Mr. Frank]

Mr. Frank

Yes!

[Mr. Frank]

That should be cool.. One race upstairs and 2 downstairs... Never thought that having to many track would be a problem..
Lets race a lane on every track I think KIT has 5 tracks to choose from ??

Amigos,

It's last points race until the enduro, so this should be fun and interesting.
Alot of close racing through out all the classes.
Also we will be racing on one of the fastest tracks in NW OHIO
Cannot ask for anything else! BUT for a good time for all!

We have a 6 lane oval, a 4 lane road course, a 8 lane hillclimb, a 8 lane kingleman, a 8 lane king, and also a 4 lane full land scaped 1/32 track.

Yea, It's alot to manage LOL

[Frankie Schaffier]

You forgot the dragstrip..

[Cap Henry]

Wow totally right Frankie, We also have a 1/8 Mile 1/24 Drag Strip.

[Mad Mexican]

Hey Kit or Cap,

What is the braid depth on the tracks that we are running on for the OCC?
Or if anyone else knows please chime in

Thanks

Adios

[Cap Henry]

Kingleman average .045

King is close to flush.

On a side note Jay, a good thing for you, or any traveling racer for that matter, is to get yourself a little notebook and right down the braid depths and any lil set-up quarks for different tracks. It helps SO much.

For example, I had everything wrote down from when I did testing at Fat Boys, so when the track was moved to REM, I had some good base lines, and it made the day that much simpler and enjoyable!

[Mad Mexican]

Amigo Cap,

Thanks, for the input I have logs of blue prints and CNC notes for work. I better get on the band wagon and start logging in the track data, so I cannot use the excuse: That I did not know the braid depth.

Thank you

Hey, Do what you want, but it works for me.

[Mad Mexican]

Hey, Do what you want, but it works for me.

Amigo Cap,

I know it works, its time to get my head out of the sand and treat it like work, maybe my results will be better in the long run

Again thank you for the input.

Adios

Frank the only time that having too many track is a problem is when you let it be and is my exact reason im not racing at kits just for sheer principle. Race 6 is approaching and it is still 100% unstated what track will run what. NAAAAAAA im cool. as the president of O.C.C you should have the last say in what track is ran.

[Mr. Frank]

ALL GT/1s will race on the kingelman, upstairs.. The other 2 classes will be run on the old RGO king downstairs..
Should be a BLAST... Have not raced on that king since one of the first TRRS races at ricks place many years ago..
This is the last race of the series. The enduro race will be announced at kits place..


CAN YOU GUESS WHERE IT WILL BE ????

Don't feel Cap Bryan, and I really need to clarify this , though I will

This isn't rocket science and Frank and I had this all discussed a month ago, the question was wheter the Kingleman would be back up and running as we had used the computer and board off of it to get the King set up correctly. With Cap's racing in Florida we, had to make some possible adjustments. Bryan had to run 2 business's and over see a third while we were gone, while dealing with both medical and personal issues. so I wasn't pushing him on that issue to., as he had his hands full and handled it all Very Nicley ! Kudos to Bryan.
Now for anyone that wants to join the the world of track owners, I have 2 tracks for sale that I will gladly sell you CHEAP, as well as in the words of "BEAR" If you want to give it a shot step up I have a set of keys You can purchaae this place turn key !

[bryangum]

Come on guys these are toy cars what does it really mader what track we run them on

i was told when i first got in too slot car racing (these are toy cars dont make it anything else) And it was bear that told me that
all i have too say is everyone is allways complaning about this track or that track why in the blue he** cant we all work together and have a fun race but it seams like every time a race comes up there is some BULL SH** that someone doesnt like this track or wont run that track

Guys we are all grown men playing with toy cars lets act like it and have some fun because life is too damn short too act like this over toy cars yes i understand everyone wants too win Im going way out on a limb here But if ya dont come pratice and get your cars set up how can you expect to win

I can tell you this I am not having fun anymore and i am begining to not see a reason too even have all of this slot car stuff setting around that i have..


These are my thoughts only

If a poll is being taken, count me in for a two track enduro.

[Race O' Rama]

I thought it was 7 tracks

That should be cool.. One race upstairs and 2 downstairs... Never thought that having to many track would be a problem..
Lets race a lane on every track I think KIT has 5 tracks to choose from ??
