Default feeler... anyone interested in going to Busse this weekend?

Just kind of a feeler to see who might be up for a small GTG at Busse this weekend. I need practice and I am rebuilding my super this week so it needs tuned in. Post up if your interested and when would work best... right now Im leaning toward Saturday but not against Sunday.

Has anyone posted up details on that? Last I knew you and Brian were supposed to get with them and find out when they wanted us out there.

Saturday is better for me, but I'm real close to Busse, so if everybody else decides on a time I will try to adjust my schedule. My new Super needs some tuning too

Since the plan originally was to go to LH on Sunday to build the course...but that seems to be off.....I will hit Busse on Sunday. I already had "Requested the time off" with the wife. So she booked me up pretty good on Saturday. ALSO, the Tribune is showing rain Friday and Saturday....so Sunday looks like the better bet (77deg & Sunny). I am pretty flexible on time as the only thing I do early Sunday is grocery shop. I just want to try out the changes to the rig before the drive to WI. Droop may not be the right setup for me....but I want to try it. (Got it setup last night). Now just waiting on the better shoes to get here.

im up for sunday


xirtic, try a semi droop setup. spring on top and bottom. gets back some GC but keeps the CG lower. im loving mine with MiniT springs top and bottom. if we go sunday, ill let you give it a try.

BTW, are we allowed at Busse any time?

There are really no issues at Busse at anytime for the crawlers. Just make sure to stay off the bike/walk paths other than the time to get to the crawl locations.

The new shoes arrived yesterday....man these vendors are doing some fast order turn around times. McMaster Carr had SAME DAY ship/delivery and Liquid RC got me my shoes in 3 days. I could not wait for ROD ENDS from eBay....so I hit the Schaumburg Hobbytown for them, and foams to cut up. Everybody had what I needed. IT is definitely a change of pace.

I have just over 2" of GC with the full droop...not looking too bad. I will try it this way, and if it needs to go SEMI...I will start to work that way. I just really like the lower stance, improved CG, and the fact that there are no visable springs.

your CG will be lower but I would worry that at Busse you will be dragging belly all the time.

Right now Sunday moring is starting to look best for me to make it out to Busse. Im thinking about 10am @ the new comp location at this point.

I'm not sure about early Sunday morning but I'll try to make it, what size hex does your Super have Jeff? I have an extra set of Moab XL's mounted on Axial Narrow Beadlocks, 17mm Hex's, I can bring if I make it out.
