Q3 Series change

[Race Control]

Will do, Randy.  That’s what I’m working on now.

All – I have run the full gamut of tires made available for Scaleauto cars that are either rubber or urethane.  I have been unsuccessful in getting any to work nearly as well as the foam tires.  Shawn has ordered some additional tires to try and we will see how those work.  The weight of the cars makes it really hard on rubber tires.  The BRM’s are lighter and you can use rubber tires although they do wear quickly.

You can practice with rubber tires and a magnet if you want but I would suggest just running the stock rubber tires without magnet until we are ready to make the move to foam tires.  If you can do well with the rubber tires you will kill it with the foam tires.

I would stick with running the Scaleauto’s in Q3 during the summer and then clean the track before we run the Carrera series or agree to run foam tires on those cars as a trial run.

 

Randy – I don’t know what the best format is for letting you know what the best Scaleauto cars are for the track.  Different driving styles can play into this decision to where what works for me does not work for you.  You should test drive as many of the club members cars as you can and make your decision that way.  For any of us to tell you what car to get could only work for us and then totally screw everyone else up as they all run to get a Viper or an Audi when what really works for you is the Porsche.  If you feel good about a car you can start there.  What cars do you like?  Try the one you like and see how it is to drive.  In closely matched series it can be the mental side of how you feel about what you are driving over what some people say is fast.
