Forgot the rule pics of you and Mr 16 or it didn't happen!

Mr Sixteen wasn’t there. This was just me figuring out (sort of) how it works. We should be going together next Saturday.

Definitely didn’t care about being last. Someone has to be. I didn’t have to replace or order any parts so it was a good day.

Heck yeah, it’s a good day when nothing gets broke. How fast do them buggy’s run ?

I would guess this little one I have is somewhere around 20 mph. Idk though. I’ve not really looked into much about them. It is a stock class they run at this new track so that is what I went with. Lol

What body are you getting for the 4tec?

He picked the Cadillac ATS VR, we getting ready to start painting it today.

 

[Mopower58]

Since I have four tires and 4 sets of beadlocks, I might install the beadlocks tomorrow. The cement never did setup completely in the Ram, I might clean it up and prep it for paint!

All that counts! Stoner with 33 crashes, I wonder why? Looks like a blast! I was trying to figure out the track lay out and didn't come up with a definitive answer? I know spit about track racing, what happens after a crash?

Here is a crude drawing of the course layout for you....

Green line is the start/finish....I'm not positive but I think it had to pick your car up through both lanes to count the lap.
Red Lines are jumps
Red and Gray line is the "table top" jump

It isn't to scale or anything but hopefully putting it together with the pictures give you a better idea. The garage door with the plywood in front of it and the man door beside it would be at the long sweeping corner on the right end of this diagram.

Looks like fun. Did the cars that flipped over end up that way due to the jumps or sharp turns?

Yes! lol. The faster cars tended to roll over more from cornering too fast. The smaller cars tended to do a lot of flipping over from poorly managing the table top. You also occasionally had the car on car assist to roll one over. The smaller cars could also just get hung up on the pvc pipe track markers some times and need an assist off the rail.

Do they change the track to an on road course (no jumps) or does it stay that configuration always?

They had run flat oval the night before and were going to run flat oval the next day, so I know they plan to change it up. Outside of oval and this course layout for "off road" I don't really know. I'm sure I will learn more this coming weekend.

That’s cool. Is it a hydro dip kind of thing?

Yup, he was playing around with the colors and gave it a try and it turned out BA, (on the test pieces) so he might have it dipped tomorrow.
