Thanks Sonny, Glad Rich and I entertained you. LOL as Rich said and I agree that was the most fun race I ever raced.

That last turn was funny, I was comming down from the elevation drop and saw Rich go off the track in the back turn. I was like, dam I can catch him, and the marshal threw him on the track at the same time I was in the turn. SO he was on the outside and I was on the inside. We both hit the small tabletop at the same time, so I knew I had to take the last turn tight, so with the depth perception and trying to stay tight, and keeping it clean plus the excitement I came in a little too tight.

But I thought it was the right thing to do, as I had so much fun racing it I would never want to cloud it with some controversy. At the time I ddn't realize we both would bump, and I wouldnt take the bump if it was only the winner, thats what I was telling John, so that he could change it to Rich.

But that is what racing is all about, that race and the sportsman ship showed in that race. Also it was good to see the slower vehicles move out of our way as we where passing. I know Gabe was calling up to his driver that he was pitting for to move over. Thanks for that.

Tune, why the TM when you have to mod it for bump start, it cost more, and the TZ is faster?

BTW my motor was rich as hell yesterday because I was still doing final break in. I leaned it out today after work and HOLY GOD, this motor is sick fast.

I like the TM for the easy of install and clutch assembly. Grinding off the pin on the crank is no biggie, I've done it quite a few times now, lol. Plus, Al's gave me 10% off on it

an 1/8 scale clutch bolts right onto the TZ with no mods....Plus grinding the pin off the crank makes the TM harder to install than the TZ. You don't even have to do that much to bolt a TZ in.

You do have to move the tranny forward 1/16 of an inch though to make the TZ fit.

I guess it all comes down to what you prefer to mod, price (TZ is way cheaper), and power (TZ is more powerful)

I asked John and he said they are going to again. He said they stopped when no one was showing up to race. He said all they need to do is take like a USB thing and plug it in and it all loads up.

Still don't know. A guy on the grid said to set it up on a different model #. I did and now I get full throw.
