Do they also re invent the term lack of durability. When we used to race the big Z's on carpet the Atomic tires were great but you went through a couple sets a night.

It's not as bad as you may think. I think the lighter chassis is easier on the tires, but after a couple 6 minute heats you do notice the grip starting to fade. The good news is is that the degradation is very linear and easy to predict. On carpet, the tires are better after a couple heats.

Thanks J. Hope to see you Saturday at HT. I'm still waiting to see you at the big car races at HSH.

Thanks guys for another great day of racing! Today we had 6 drivers, enough for 2 heats of 3 (having turn marshalls was awesome). Here are the results of the mains, for those that are curious.

B Main
1. Jdob with 57 laps in 5:02.26, fast lap 4.72 (Porsche 962) *Transfered to A Main
2. jlgracing with 53 laps in 5:02.79, fast lap 4.90 (Mazda 787b)
3. legend with 45 laps in 5:03.76, fast lap 5.59 (Ferrari 360)

A Main
1. Pedro with 62 laps in 5:01.98, fast lap 4.46 (Ferrari Enzo)
2. jdob with 58 laps in 5:00.32, fast lap 4.75 (Porsche 962)
3. Mark (me) with 56 laps in 5:00.67, fast lap 4.73 (Porsche Carrera GT)
4. Joe E. retired early with 31 laps, fast lap 4.52 *frustration haha

I was catching jdob, but fell apart at the end. Next week I'll hopefully have a few hop ups installed and be running a bit more consistent. I'm off work next Saturday, but I'm still going to come in and run the races.

legend says he can't make it next Saturday, but hopefully Mike will have a car and we can keep it at six,or more.

It was fun to watch and help out a little. I swear that I will hold out to get my first choice of cars but I did carefully go over the inventory to figure a possible second choice. Decisions. Decisions.

does the software export the results to a pdf format that you can attach?

I'm glad you guys are enjoying the track.

Had some fun racing today! Good to see everyone from last week, plus some new faces too! :)

Mike - Sorry for calling you Mark when you were heading out! I will get everyone's names sorted out sooner than later I hope!

I tried the Ball Diff again after I put my 6 tooth pinion back on...seemed a little bit better...I think my lack of steering in the front today came from my tires bumping into the Goop that I lined the under side of the nose of my body with to help hold the light buckets all together! I noticed that there were some rub marks in it when I got home - that must have been what was causing my tires to glaze over in spots???

Hope to be able to make it out next time...

Not that I'm aware of but I will poke around with it. The features of that software are still very limited, and a lot of options are grayed out. Hopefully we'll get an update and some more flexibility eventually.

Had fun, nice to meet and race with jlgracing and legend. Good to have turn marshalls this week as well, I needed them a few times. We had a few spectators too.

Makes sense about the goop jdob, very likely.

Look forward to next time...

jdob, at my age I will answer to just about anything that I think I hear. My problem is responding to most of what I'm supposed to hear. Just ask my wife.

you do have the kyosho race version and not the home version? i would assume the home version has disabled many of the features but i would have expected the software given to the hobby shops to be full featured.

does it provide race management or simply single heat races?

Whats up folks, the store has the race version. Mark is right it looks like you can't change some of the options like race length. maybe we'll learn more as we go

I hope to see everyone back on saturday

Hopefully we'll have a 917 running with us this weekend. We had some good races last Saturday with six cars, hope to get a few more this weekend. Brent and Mark have been running a nice smooth program. Come out and race...

Who's going to make it saturday?
