Can someone pm me or post a setup for a B44. I have been fighting this car all weekend. I cant believe the throttle servo out of my X2 is crap. So I still need a battery and servo and some type of tires. If Jason Bond is out there, I really liked his car when I drove it.

and when i looked up and saw his eyes. it was like looking at a deer from a headlight view. that boy turn about 5 shades of white. glad he didn't fall he would of probably hit the concrete block wall where the steps allow you to enter the track.

Hello from Chicago again! It's Vince here, I raced there once last March while I was visiting some relatives in Ks. Great to see that the track is still open, and it looks even better as seeing it through the videos on YouTube, keep them coming!! I hope to come out to Ks soon and race with you guys again. Maybe my wheeler won't break right before the main this time (when I was there I was lining up for my wheeler main and broke an arm as a marshall stepped on the car, I forgot who it was but it was alright!). Is racing still on Saturday nights at Jake's?

Had a blast Sat. night. Don't know if I'm gonna make it this weekend or not. Kate's having surgery on Friday, so it all depends on what she's feeling like come Sat. afternoon.

As far as the 13.5 vs. 17.5 debate I'm game for either class. Dustin did a great job of showing everybody there's no real advantage between the two. Just wish I would of kept my head on my shoulders at the end of the main to give him a run

Anybody have a good setup for a HB D4? Mine keeps traction rolling everywhere I'll get it figured out one of these weekends. I drove Daves B44 after the races with a 13.5 in it and was actually very impressed. I could see were some would say boring, but it was kinda like running 13.5 touring.

Exactly. Anyone who looked at the heat sheets would have seen that the 17.5 guys were running 13.5 A main times for the most part. It's all in the driving. My B main time would have qualified me second in the A, but then look how terrible I drove in that.

The point is I don't really feel that the buggy's should be separated. If someone wants to run a 17.5 in 13.5, then great. Hell I was running 13.5 when it was called Mod. But I digress...I guess some people would just rather race 5 people than race 20 people.

The great thing about running 17.5 is that you can run both stock and super stock classes if you want.......and with a 13.5, you can't

This is exactly what I'm going to do......done with SCT!
