Default Friday Nite

Another awsome nite of racing at Trackside as usual. Thanks to Matt Sunderlage for the help in the tire dept. I should have left it alone, but my OCD kicked in, and I changed out the tires Matt had me use for a new set of SC10 tires that were never broke in. As you can tell by Buck's posted results, that was a huge mistake. Live and learn I guess. See ya all next week.

Hey all, I made the 2hr trek to Trackside over the weekend. It was def a good time, competitive and a great group of guys to talk to and race with. BUT..please....off to the right of the grandstand put a piece if lexan or whatever on the inside of that steel framed gate! If you are off a little on the triple (or going dbl single) and you clip that thing...it stops you instantly and sometimes it hurts haha. I know I could improve my skills, I'm new and I'm working on it. Just a little constructive criticism.

Not outside of the track...its the wall next to the triple jump there is a section of the wall that has been replaced with that yellow steel framed section and there is plexi screwed to it.

ahh....yeah that's not steel it is wood....a little softer on parts Without that there you might be worse of with the concrete wall/floor outside the track. Keep practicing....I would recommend double single until you are more confident with that jump. Good luck!

hey guys, I've been having a bear of a time trying to get balanced traction with my sc10 the last few weeks (which I know is an issue with this truck). I was wondering if anyone who knows these things well will be around tonight to take a look at my truck, maybe drive it?

I think I'm making progress but want to make sure I'm going in the the right direction (the offroad track is open for practice during onroad racing on tuesday nights, right?)

Not sure which Chad you're referencing, but I'm heading down after work tonight to try some new stuff on the truck and also try to run the VTA car if there's a class. I can take a look if needed.

I am thinking of coming up tonight to run some Trans Am. I would also like to run some F1. So all you guys with an F1 car come on out and race them tonight. I might have Matthew's ready to go tonight if anyone wants to run it Just need to find an ESC for it.
