Well we did some track changes. A new look so to speak. A little more air time. A little longer run line. Hope you all like it. Thanks Mike, Jimbo, and Dom for your help.

Sounds good Bernie. My first practice on the indoor track will be my first qual on Saturday...haha, hope I can get the track down decently fast.

I was about to ask if there was a track re-do in the plans this indoor season. Now I wont see it till thursday. But is this just rework in some parts of the track? Or a total new look.

And if not the whole new look. Is there any plans to do that this season?

This time is just some changes here and there. more jumps and a little longer run line. I try to change about six to eight weeks

Pretty fun, just got back. The one part that throws me up is right after the 3 doubles, where there's the step up thingy... tricky to hit right. I might bump up my spring stiffness in the front to get more pop off that so I can clear it. Other than that, great layout! Very fun.

3 doubles?? I guess I will just have to wait for thursday.

Ponch · (#10 (**permalink**))

Wait, no there's 4. The 3 right where they were before (after the front str8) and then you turn left and bam there's another one.

I almost can make the 2 in the middle as a quad. Mabye a different clutch setup or tires and I can, I land in the middle of the 2nd double most of the time. I cleared it once.

it actually is quite easy to quad the center doubles all you need to do is...

... buy a losi eight.
just kidding you actually have to jump over the inside tube.looks very cool but it takes longer to set up for and land correctly so it is faster to double double

Yeah Amen to that, you have to swing so wide off the front straight it's not worth it in a race. But for practice, it looks pretty damn cool.

So these 8ights, better jumpers from what I've heard?
