Been awhile since I last went in circles,, maybe I should try it again,,,:eek:

[nomac]

c'mon down! what type chassis do you run? well, it doesn't really matter! those guys down there can help get your chassis right in about an hour!

then the speed is left up to you! some racers are running (stock) in between panasonic smh, and the ultra metals. then of coarse the newer 3300's. i saw no sanyo ni-hm at all. the fast-guy motor of choice is the new monster. with a couple of gm3's thrown into the fray.

[team hyperdrive]

Yeah Ron, come on down.Pete i'm thinkning of trying the ol 500 this week.The 700 seems kinda flat in the turns.I should have some tires for ya but if i dont i can get you some.Also if you still wanna do the "team" deal, pm me with your number and we can get up.Probably gonna start wrenching and tweaking tommorrow or weds.But we are planning on going back this week.Still have to try and keep the points lead:p .Well gotta go get ready for bed.Oh yeah, almost forgot, If you see axrayed1 find out if he's still wanting to come down and run.I knew he said something about it before.

yOU GUYS RUN TOURING CARS? i LIVE IN PITTS, PA. BUT MY GRANDPARENTS LIVE IN PINEHURST. I WILL BE GOING DOWN THERE FOR CHRISTMAS AND SUMMER. SO I MIGHT STOP BY.

(sorry for the caps)

[nomac]

yes, the guys who've been posting here are tourers. but the track in sandhills is an oval. we'd love to have ya come by! team hyperdrive is an old oval partner of mine...so finding him again and geeting back on the carpet has been a welcome'd change of pace.

[team hyperdrive]

Hey Pete, was wondering if u wanted to run bsr's or jaco.I have a few bsr's left.Also on your set up run 18's in the front,black center and gold on the micros. L8r

[Lapster]

yea... have been there a couple times. I came down for a golfing trip to my grandparents house..(CCNC) and we stopped by the track to take a look. I have a B4 and T4 also, so I looked at the offroad track. Looks awesome... and lookes like you run a great facility.

[nomac]

i wish i DID have something to do with it. (lol) the credit goes to Fabio & donnie and crew! can you believe that after being gone for years...fabio gave me a good ole greeting by shoutin my name at me! an mike russel's been e-mailing me about set-ups down there.

hey brad...thanks but i wish it were that simple.i'll run whatever you don't run. (He,he). my car is FAAARR from being ready! outside of tires...i need a body, bumper, etc-etc. i'll bring it by sat so "we" can get started.LOL i was hoping i could get some practise with the pink car.

ps...you have pm!

[nomac]

brad...did you get your PM? lemme know tonite if you're goin down. i'm goin early but i'm trying to work out racing tomorrow.

[team hyperdrive]

yeah, i am going tomorrow.Oh yeah i got another one of those deals.I traded my novak millineum for a motor lathe,another "ol skool" hyperdrive rolling chassis,a bag of tires,a rivergate 30 amp power supply and a ol trusty competition mini turbo charger.The hyperdrive is ready and set up so bring some electrics. L8r

[nomac]

hey brad....what tire diameters/roll-out numbers have you liked down there? i plan on coming down again this week. oh and give Ms. "anchor" a big thank-you. she was a real sport in letting me race her car! i haven't raced oval in over 5 years and it felt great!

(it was my best race/result there to date!) my batteries should be better cycled by this week. oh, and i should have a new monster and mod lathe by then. have you got that spring-steel t-plate in yet?:) but DO believe the best hop-up you have is that shock!;)

[team hyperdrive]

Pete, i'm still playin with roll out.The only thing i can tell you is to start at a 260 roll out and work from there.According to my software on my lap top i should run 78 laps with the setup i'm running now:confused: .I'm not to sure where the computer got that figure at considering honeycutt is running 56 laps with a mod:D .Anyways as far as tire diam, im running 2.23 and am pretty happy so far.Gotta call Fabio and see if he got my rear pod plate in.Mark still doesnt know which car he wants yet, but either one he doesnt decide to go with, i'll talk to you about it.All yeah, i forgot to tell you ...... I'm going with a pontiac body this week.Havent heard anybody trying it or should i say i havent seen one there, so im gonna try it.I ordered a taurus to play with anyways.I know the intrepid works great but u know me.....;) Just save some so we can get more tire soup:D . L8r

[nomac]

cool! don't worry about tire soup. if the chicken feed starts to look a little low, i got some coming with me to back ya up.:D

but yeah, the adrenaline car is my choice of chassis. (unlees you can get a speedmerchant WFO racer! lol)

[team hyperdrive]

You gonna try and get yours together this week or you wanting to drive pinky?I plan on going early again and do some testing.Hopefully Fab has my pod:p .Also found out some "tricks" to do to the ol motors too:D . L8r

[nomac]

hopefully the adrenaline is available but if not maybe me an pinky can dance. but i just finished my rear pod.....i'm trying to find some tires to get the chassis "in the ballpark". but i doubt it'll be ready but miracles can happen!

[team hyperdrive]

I have a intrepid liteweight body you can run.As you saw last week, i have a lot of tires.I'm pretty sure out of all them tireis in that bag we can find something to work with.So bring electronics,motors, batteris etc.I'll call Mark and see what he is wanting to do.

[nomac]

best news i had all week! thanx!:D

[nomac]

racing don't look good for me right now...i've get kids this weekend. and now the sonya's new schedule is posted....my saturdays look break from now on.:mad:

[team hyperdrive]

So your not gonna be able to race or not go to sandhills all together?Mark said he was gonna try and come back this weekend and i'm thinking about getting Ash to try racing.Let me know what you can do. L8r

[nomac]

it's been (two):D many weeks since i've been down. my mind's made up to go TODAY! yep, saturdays are pretty much shot for me. so unless i find an emergency baby-sitter.... i can kiss racin good-bye!

tried racing with kids before...just too much for me to handle. i gotta be focused on one thing at a time. (sucks!!!) who'd a thought that it would take a wife and two kids to slow my racing?? i guess it's time i focused on something else huh? NAHHHH! lol
