I was at a practice sesion all day today (Nov 07) and got my 2 new motors tasted out. I also worked on the cat a lot to get it where I want. It was a succesful day. I already bookes a hotel room, I'll be staying with Brian B. and Colin B. Factory X-Ray Team driver Travis Shriven was there practicing too... he impressed me 3 years ago when he beat Mark Pavidis in Stock at a trophe race we had in Abbotsford. (Mark Pavidis is factory team Associated driver and Nitro Touring car World Champion 2003) More info at www.raincityraceway.com/ |

How'd those blue springs work for you? Maybe it's time to trade that TC3 for a new TC4? You won't be disappointed. How much is the hotel? Colin |

Yea, my car is working well right now, but your car is dilled too... we have to clean up there next week... Canadian domination baby.
I only had to make about 9 changes to get it there. I noticed that on that track they are extremely hard to drive for the first 2 laps because of the traction compound.
The Blue Springs helped pivot the rear end quicker around and also more on power steering... it was more planted with the softer spring though.
I read the TC4 manual last night and I see how that entire car is different other than the drive train. One can seriosly de-tune a TC4 if you don't know what you are doing.... LOL lots of adjustments , both ways.
Hotel is $81/ night with tax, so that's ~ $27 each. One of us is going to sleep on the floor cuz there are only 2 beds. I'm not it.

Yeah, that is why tire warmers work so well, it takes a few laps for the tires to come up to temp. My car is finally getting to the point where I can drive it pretty fast. I will have tuning parts this week so the setup will change a bit before I hit the track on Friday. Hows that new body coming? I was wondering if we could throw a little blue in there? How would that look?
