Some cool YOUTUBE!

Look How much TC suspensions moving around! wow, this is a OCRC raceway in California when they had a carpet track.

10 facts I learned at the tracks during those years

1. keep front riding height always lower than the rear, it makes a car rolling down hill, perhaps save energy and can runs faster thanks for the gravity!
2. Don't drop a diff ring greased cuz it will land on the ground heavier side first, always!
3. if you mount 2 transponders on your car, you can win any race any day. but no one does that cuz PT cost more than $100 each, $109 X 2 = $219!!! that s why! no one can affor that!
4. Gil losi Jr is from the moon, and Paul leumix is from Wisconsin.
5. Reason for track pizza taste always better is "Paragon" and or 30wt oil, to see for yourself, wash your hand before grap a slice next time, taste like a soap. YUK!
6. reason why we dont see any wives on the track is cuz we brought them to the track more than once during dating period, imagine you wearing a G-string, high hills at track? I bet you will be gone before your main start. not that we want to see you in that way.
7. reason why Dan smiling always is he though the banana lube is natural and non-toxic.
8. Team associated used to make tire donuts out of stock sponge drilled out with door knob drill bits.
9. RC10 bushing (non racers kit) over sold Bearing incld kit (racers) by more than 10 times.
10. no one saw Frank Calandra Jr with pair of a Long sleeve pants yet.

Carpet is tough!

I raced at the Sharm for first time ever.

the Horsahm the Dungeon of Carpet racing...

to name a few regulars at thsi place are like

Jason shrefler: just finished TQ and 1st in 13.5 Rubber TC at the 2010 Snowbirds.

Larry fairtrace: winner of Reedy championship 13.5 class in 2008

Jeff Cuffs: TQ of 17.5 Rubber in Snow birds 2010

I raced 13.5 Rubber class but with a 17.5 motor, with new Tekin 203 17.5 fast enough for indoor track especially on the carpet.

day start well with so much steering on my car I can barley touch my steering, I ended up with 60 wt oil, 17.5lb spring on the front 35wt, 12.5 on rear. every thing else was kinda normal, low roll center 1.75deg rr camber 1deg front camber etc.

in qualifying I kinda struggled to get rid of steering then in main my buddy told me car ran better without any sauce on the tires so I did..big mistakes..

hes car is a Photon which have lots more traction then my Losi and I had no traction or I should say not enough grip on front.

I struggled to steer in that A main race only to finish almost to dead last.

I gotta keep thinking in combination of everything instead of just narrowed down any circumstance.

another valuable lesson learned at the new place.

I will be better next time!
