and now I can say "flat biscuit".... thank you.

Anyone remember back in the day there used to be a nick name for people who floored it all the way around the track, people used to call them "Hammer". I think Autographics even made a decal set about it. You think that Reggie Hammer is my real name? :lol: Given to me when I was 14- :lol:...

Let me add to my rant, and slightly curve away from the topic... At our local track, the novice class is full of mostly slashes, the unbreakability of these things is not teaching kids how to drive, it is teaching them how hard they can hit things wide open without breaking something. It is up to us...

I think the 1:1 comparison may be an apples to orange comparison and the following isn't going to bode well for my initial response to the O.P. I know for sure that I would respect the power of a 1:1 more because my ass is in the seat and the danger of injury or death is real. Mashing the throttle t...

It's unfortunate that we lose so many tracks to silly circumstances. It is also unfortunate that sometimes, us as racers, are our own worst enemies.

And a less heavy trigger finger could of saved them...

Just because you have all that power doesn't mean you need to be full throttle at all times.

Can I use an original turbo thirty for NIMH batteries?

I appreciate all the info, and thanks for taking the time out to do so. I can already tell that we are probably doing most of the right things with the motor, but are KILLING the batteries we have. I will talk to my brother and see about what expenses we want to make for this class. I can already te...

At our local track we decided to start running legends again, but with an easy to grasp amended set of rules that differ from the Legend Spec rules from years past. Our constraints are 27T stock motor, 4 cell NIMH batteries and Spec tires (any spec tire, as long as they are sold as spec). I am in ne...

Decided I needed to do something completely different for my mini cooper this time around. I found a great high resolution pic of the side of the GraveDigger, and went to town making it fit the shape of the mini cooper in photoshop. I then printed the image on vinyl and wrapped the sides of the car....

I think its awesome that some uppity trendy a-hole who swings into a handicapped spot to get his Starbucks can get hit with a $1000 ticket....

Haro Group 1 RS1, RS2, or RS3. RS1's were the top of the line race bike back then. I had a RS3 for a few months but it got stolen. I replaced it with the sport I recently restored and showed pics of a couple months back. It was definitely a Group 1 of some description, but since I got it as a Frame...

If I ever shaved my legs, I could be mistaken for a torture victim! Between the Crupi Pedals, Odyssey Black Widows, and Triple traps with Crupi cages my shins and knees look like I lost a fight with a Velicoraptor. It wasn't until I began racing competitively at Hunterdon County BMX in Flemington, N...

I have accumulated enough money between Christmas and a few months of saving to put new power plants in my 1/8 Electric Buggy and Nitro Late model!

I also got the new body for my mini cooper that I have ben waiting forever for.
