Last outdoor season race at Jackson, NJ this weekend

The race is for good cause for charity race on this Sunday.

I will need to get my spool fixed up with 4 screws on each out drive and I gotta make a set for my buddy young too, I don't know if I have that many set screws I might have to remove all the set screws from 48P pinions.

I been practicing Mini-z latley at NYRC near my home sometime. I think it can help me quite well

hope to see many of you at the Jackson this Sunday.

Tire, Tire, Tires

Went to racing Jackson today, struggled through most of the day looking for some traction, trying all sort of different set up.

then team B&B gave me a set of Sorex32 , BAM! car is back on the rail.

some told me 80% of chassis set up is tire set up. whoever told me that long time ago, YOUR RIGHT SIR!

I used to carry boxes of tires in offroad days then this SPEC rubber tires racing got me lazy and wrong habit!

unless the event /race is spec tire race I'll always have a fresh set of 28, 32 and 36 ready with me ALL THE TIME.(Period)

Going to race Jackson this Saturday.

They will open 12Pm race kick of around 4PM, main would be under the lights.

I'm going to try all low roll center this weekend, car became very sensitive with a Lucas upper deck, and my car was running on a edge, when there is traction car is very "touchy" or when track lose grip, rear end kicks around.

going to run #3 on FR shock tower and a #8 on a RR shock tower too.

Finally got my lap top "kinda working" but not in perfect shape, should be fine to run the "Hot-Wire"

My set up will be look like this

Great time in Jackson, NJ

This is our last scheduled race for the year, but for remaining the year we going to have few more races

weather was perfect decent amount of drivers showed up

My car didn't run good, I did my best time in 1st qualifying then can't get any better, car start fish tailing from 2nd run and got worse through out the day, can't get right set up on my new Tekin SR ESC either

qual 8th, finished 5th in the main

Local racer Randy B, was using a new Ballistic 13.5 by Novak and he was flying! he TQed & won the Main race.

I didn't have my laptop with me cause of broken LCD, as soon as I get my lap top repaired I ll do more testing for my Tekin, but so far I like LRP TC better.

Heading to Jackson Tommorow, Sunday!

I been picking tires for tommmorow in last few minutes

should be fun tommorow all those guys who didnt do good in last Xray race will be there to prove they only had bad lucks and me myself going back there to prove last A-main qualifire was no fluke! and I can handle all those locals if we are all in a same shoes, last layout been there for a years, locals been practicing there for god know how many times!

I also dig out my trusty Canon G2 camera from my drawer, I will carry this compact thingie to every race I go for blogging, for big race I will still carry my DSLR for fast shutter speed.

well hopley do good tommorow or WTH as long as my car works good and I'm having fun I dont give a rats ass win or lose (that s part of my problem)

My new adventure for the best Type-R

This weekend, I m going back to Jackson for trying followings

• The TEKIN RS/HOT WIRE: I knida understand what are those "timing boost" "turbo boost" and rest of terms now, and getting my Notebook LCD repair by this weekend to try out all this timing boost technology!
• Front side brace: my car had too much initial steering with a 1pc spool and a Lucas upper deck mod, going to try little bit more rigid front end to get stable input.

• Jr link: that's right! I wanted to try Jr link for few reasons, Paul Leumix hand me his tires at the end of the Xray race and I found something diffrent, he didnt have inside seam line on his Jaco blue! we all know after 2-3 runs Jaco blue creating this ugly inside line on front tires, but not him! I tried few otherway to have even wear on this tyres but never a Jr-link yet, and rest all failed, the link also have stable cornering on high bite track anyway, I may hit 2birds with a stone! or pass 2 cars at one corner!

I told you the Machine is back on my work bench, stay tuned!
