GUYS.... Our old GT/1 class is getting a little face lift... IROC RACING for this season..The rules will perddy much be the same, motor gears, axle size and controler a max tire of 850. Still be hand-out motors just like it has been, but EVERYBODY will run a parma 1035 C O T nascar body. I'll be putting a little twist to it though.... There will be CONCOURSE for every event in this clas... WIN IT and RACE FOR FREE that class only... GET PAINTIN,,,,,,,,,, MAKE EM PERDDY....,,MAKE EM REAL LOOKIN...AND race that class for FREE.... YES FREE.....

As for GP/10,... We will be letting a bearing in the can ONLY, to try to save on some arm shafts. Know that's a BIG PLUS.....no shunts though on GP/10 or G T P.
You now will be able to run any pitch gears, yes rob. NOW you can run 48 , 64 , 72 and even 80 pitch if you would like, don't see that maken a big deal, but we'll see.. Ron was the only one to submit some bodies, so we have some new O/S bodies approved for GP/10 along with the protoe type bodies from J K.. O/S bodies are O/S-289 CADILLAC L M P , O/S-290 LOLA L M P , OS/291 AUDI R-10 L M P
and the O/S ACURA L M P....along with the body list of bodies that has been approved for the last season..

G T P... The BEST class will only be putting a bearing in the can only and no shunts though , along with the gear change as in GP/10... Body list and all others will be the same.... ALL RACES WILL BE 2 on and 2 off...

NOW .... GET BUILDING...... any questions, P/M me...

Many thanks for posting the updates Frank. And thanks for allowing bearing in the gp10/gtp motors, thats very cool.
And I won't even mention anything about the schedule... Okay... I lied.. Where's the schecdule..
Thanks agian Frank, I'm looking forward to the new season.

[Mr. Frank]

I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT.... That would be next on the list, Frankie.... Still have to talk to the track owners on that one..
Don't worry you will be the FIRST to know, Frankie..

Hey Frank,
can we still run the older bodies. For gt1?
If not what do I do with all my old stock?
And then why would I have to re- stock with new?

[Mad Mexican]

Yo Amigo Frank,

Several good things about the face lift in GT1 one the body using a Parma 1035 for this class is a good idea.
The durabilty of the Parma 16D 501 Death Star. What can you say about them (SEE Firecracker 400 results)
Again THE OCC is showing their commitment to our lead sponsor PARMA.
It's looks like another good season is about to happen!

Adios

I'm ok with the body change in GT-1 it's fun for me to paint and detail . I also have a lot of the old bodys but I think we will be able to run them in our weekly GT-1 class. 72 pitch gears Voska is loving it !! Way to go frank on the Globe !!

[Mr. Frank]

COOOL.... Yea got it on a steal of a deal......

Also Frank what about changing the pinion gear to a 9-tooth as the 8-tooth pinion was a complaint by alot last year?

[Mr. Frank]

SORRY , Dude... no oval for O C C... As far as the pinion... That might work, but the cars will run ALOT faster and surley cause more wrecks... Think we have enough of that now. [ LOL ]

Frank

[flem1959]

Switching to a Nascar Body is just going to make the cars handle worse and cause more crashes anyway.

You might as well put 7 tooth pinions on those Deathstars

[Mr. Frank]

WOW...The 7 tooth pinion my be the ticket then....

[Race O' Rama]

7-tooth maybe too small

[Race O' Rama]

you might find that with a 7-tooth the motor will be at its peak before you get in the first turn, plus the COT bodies have plenty of downforce if anything change the spur gear, since we can't change the pinion to a 9-tooth.

[Race O' Rama]

I have changed my GT-1 class to 9-tooth pinions with no problems

[Race O' Rama]

Also since we're changing bodies can we really call it GT-1, since we're not using GT1 bodies are we going to call the class 4" starter C.O.T.'s??

[Jerry Ward]

Thank you Frank no ovel !!

[flem1959]

Frank- Why don`t you host a Summer Warm Up Race at your track?

[flem1959]

Frank- Why don`t you host a Summer Warm Up Race at your track in July or August?
No Points, just let everybody dust off their cars and run all 3 classes for fun.
I`m up for a road trip!
I haven`t been to a Slot Track since April.
Looking forward to racing G10 and GTP this fall.
Thanks

[Mr. Frank]

FLEM..... Don't know what rockl your hiding under, but here at 93 we race those classes every sat at 2pm..
I myself think ISRA is more your style, FASTER CARS , 3 MIM lanes OF racen...
ALL THE THINGS YOUR LOOKIN FOR.. FROM WHAT I HEAR..

APRIL !!! You sure you still know how to do this then

Mr. Frank

[flem1959]

Didn`t know you were running G10 and GTP weekly.
Haven`t noticed that in your race announcements here.

I`m interested in ISRA too, but I`ve never raced on a flat track before.

I like racing with you guys.

[Mr. Frank]

OH , Mike!!!! Flat tracks are a BLAST.... Need to give it a go...
