First off you can probably hotlap orange without taking your finger off  the trigger for the complete lap. Full punch is the term for that. Empty track just sprayed no problem. In a race in traffic you will have to drive it but not hotlapping in practice. I could hear you driving it too much on the backside. It does sound like it winds up nice through the bank though.

I don't know about Port Jeff, but the scale stuff usually races on 13.7V and not the 14.3V that Wing cars race on.  That could be up to a tenth right there.  Plus the spray glue for scale is lighter than for wings as the motors in scale cars don't have the power to pull through heavy spray glue.

 

At the Barn Burner the Int15 cars were lapping in the 2.1s and 2.2s

Watching you finger ... you are not punching the short chutes or the donut.

 

Speaking of chutes, donuts and sniffing glue ... all this time I thought you were a little kid.

 

 

Planted ... now your talkin da lingo too.

If it's planted, it should be WFO in Orange.  Maybe micro blip the deadman and the 90.

 

My point was he was faster on the back half of the track where it counts.  That's where the speed is.

Your doing good AntKnee, just try to stay relaxed and focused because it is much different with 8 cars on the track. No one will be taking it easy.

 

Put the colored stickers on your box in the same order you race as you change lanes.

 

OK?

The track is lightly glued for the Retro race today...when they have a wing car race I'm sure you'll find your car likes the track conditions better


"Whatever..."

You have a life time supply of tape there.

 

Not trying to bust your chops there, just trying to impart a little knowledge.  Have fun.

There is a race next weekend 3/8/14 at PJ .
Joseph Migliaccio. Karma it's a wonderful thing.

"Drive it like you're in it!!!"

"If everything feels under control... you are not going fast enough!"

Some people are like Slinkies... they're really good for nothing... but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
