Can't believe no dirt racers showed. I planned on being there but with my wifes uncle passing and trying to repair my house AC I figured I'd just go with the flow on rules if I get to race this dirt thing.
Really hate to hear that, kinda concerns me. Sounds like its gonna be onroad racers supporting the dirt.
Thanks for getting this put togather, hope it all works out. You may have to make the dirt guys mad so they'll race. That's what I do when I go, that way more people wanna come out and try me. Watch -
I told yall years ago to make the track bigger and pave it, and you could flatten the offroad jumps amd people from all over wanna come race. I even took my sons onroad car one time and put dirt tires on it just so he could try the dirt, guess what, they all threw a fit because he was up front. Some onroad racers were accused of cheating because they won a race, wth, the cars on the table, u look at it. That's kinda how it works. I guess my nitro outlaw will be the only fast one again, next time I'll bring a sandwich for my pit crew and me during pit stops, or the only one. Maybe somebody from the dirt will be brave enough to try us?

Its harder than it looks, heck< last year I ran offroad for the first time since like 1990 and was up front till I goofed and ended up 3rd in the main with somebody elses car that I had never driver til that race, I thought there was more to it with the jumps and stuff.

To each their own. I bought my 8th scale, threw it on the track, and in my first race with it turned 22 laps while still breaking in the motor. (FYI- that's something that nobody else did before or since in buggy.. only truggies have hit 22 laps) Doesn't mean it's boring or easy.. it's just different.


Anyways, I've ran both paved and dirt oval as well. The dirt oval was..boring. I threw a 12th scale on the dirt with the Mini Latemodels that were running brushless and still put lap after lap on them. Dirt oval was just too slow. But like I said, to each their own. I may not like it, and you may not like it, but apparently enough people like it for there to be a market large enough to support companies that focus (almost) solely on dirt oval. CustomWorks has been around since the 80's, so there must be SOMETHING to it. I don't get it and you don't get it, but somebody somewhere does.

Of course, everyone also says "paved oval is easy.. you just turn left". Yes, you do.. and so does everyone else. It's not a matter of just turning left- it's a matter of turning left faster that everyone else and doing it consistently. Pan cars are some of the most tempermental cars to setup and drive properly. They either work or they don't... there's no in-between, sort-of works setup. Just look at the Chili Cookoff- in all of the years that it's been run, this year was the first year that a previous winner won. If oval was so easy, then one driver should have dominated every cookoff. That definately has not been the case.

guys, you may be taking this to seriously

Postby WONTON on Sat Jul 31, 2010 11:29 pm

I just want to get out there talk some smack and race an rc vehicle. I don't care if I anm racing a rc shopping cart around Piggly Wiggly. I also intend to watch for any half interested onlooker who shows up and offer them my car so they can give it a try. There are times when I get serious about my racing but this is not one of them. I just want to drum up some interest and have a little fun, and show the Beachamps how to drive on dirt :mrgreen:
