Thought I would share some tire testing detail. I ran Badlands out at Busse again yesterday, they performed a little better this time but Rock Claws will definitely outperform on climbs. Busse rocks are extreme traction, if you're looking for a little less traction tire with overall good performance the Badlands may be a good choice, the only thing I see the Claws outperform them on is steep vertical climbs (which only low COG rigs will perform.)

I will continue to run Claws, just for the record.

Good to know Ced!

Im debating on what I want to do... the RockStompers worked but no where near as well as my claws but, I hate to have spend the $60 on tires to not use them. Although the lower traction makes the dig much more effective

opinions on stand alone sched for the rest of the year.... I know we discussed this earlier in this thread but dont think we came up with anything... Stay with 3 week sched?

addictedtonitro · 09-09-2008, 05:44 PM

stand alone is cool with me. I like 2 week or 4 week better but thats only because my wife works every other weekend and I have to find a babysitter every other comp now lol

I like this idea due to Holidays and Vacations. Thanksgiving/Christmas/Hanukkah/New Years.....these are pull people away...so a 3 week rotation around the holidays will keep membership active.

X2 Josh, it'll be helpfull for those of us that work Christmas dependant retail jobs as well

Ced RC · 09-12-2008, 08:42 AM

I'm flexible, 3 weeks seems good though.

Ced RC · 09-23-2008, 07:16 AM

Any ideas for where/when the next comp will be? Other than Lockport do we have any ideas for places that have shade? I really like the rocks at Busse, but damn we could use some shade out there, standing out in the sun for 4 to 5 hours is rough.

jetboat · 09-23-2008, 07:54 AM

should get an answer on a not so secret location later today... no shade but, Ill bring a tent.

Need to find one down this way so me and Jeff don't have to drive an hour or more! Scott at Leisure Hours said to call him! If you don't i'll talk to him if ya want?

jetboat · 09-23-2008, 08:42 AM

shhhh.... it was supposed to me my not so secret location...lol... Im going to call in 45mins or so.

jetboat · 09-23-2008, 10:17 AM

here you go:
Leisure Hrs raceway in conjunction with SCRC presents.....

I need 1 judging volunteer, LHR is going to provide the other 2 judges. Entry fee's will go to the store not the club, so I will save the entry fee's from the last comp for future prizes.
Scott seems excited about it so Im hoping for a good turn out!

addictedtonitro · 09-23-2008, 05:50 PM

why in the world is leisure putting judges out there? Are they going to know the rules or do we have to teach them too?

jetboat · 09-23-2008, 05:56 PM

we are teaching them, they plan to run their own comps in the future.

bubbaracing · 09-23-2008, 08:19 PM

Sweet! Scott seemed to be excited when we were there Sat. Glad to see everything worked out. I'll be there for sure as long as it's not the same day as The Hunnert Car Pile Up in Morris!

He also said that it's the same way it was back on the day we were there. And that they'd take a weedwacker out there the day before we came. Hopefully Jeff got some stuff straightened out.

jetboat · 09-24-2008, 05:52 AM

supposedly Bernie is going to be moving rocks around and they are supposed to spray down the other section... If they dont, I am worried what the overall sentiment of the course will be. I almost think if they dont do some modifications before hand they may be shooting themselves in the foot. We will see, hopefully they will get it cleaned up and changed around for their own good. If they dont and people hate the course we dont have to go back but, whats it hurt to try out a new location.
