tps48 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hey old timer I finished working on the car at 1 am Sat morning. Might have done better if I could have gone to Fri. practice. Just messed up on the set-up. But nothing broke or tore up. It was fun racing 53 Herbie. Maybe I can git it rite next time. Thanks for asking.

cRt racing Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 what did it take 70 1 lap to catch and pass the three leaders . and i hear he almost hit the wall in 1 turn sounds fishy but maybe the three top cars hit the brakes instead of the gas .

Flyin34 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I agree with GB on the money deal. No purse money, no racecar. The only thing I disagree on is that the Thunders are the only class that you can pocket money. The key to your statement is if you run in the top three. I'm sure it is different for the SA and Thunderhill guys because they run the racing tires, but in the street stock class with what CC paid out and the tire rule, I actually was able to save some money. That was the only reason I could try the modifieds. But I do agree with you on that deal, a modified is a money sponge! But damn they are fun, even though I don't have a clue on how to run the dirt yet. I've only raced mine one time, but I look forward to learning the car and the dirt. Â Anyway, back to the point. Purse money, regardless of whether you think you can make money racing or not, is VERY important for most poor boy racers. $25 bucks is a pit pass. Hopefully in time, when STS gets on it's feet, they can pay out a little more. For now, just have to support what we got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 This is my point exactly.The Super Streets had a great deal with the full purse being the same as the modifieds are now.With the less expensive engines and tires your return was greater than almost any other series.Add big engines and big slicks and the prize money will not pay expenses.Same with Thunder cars.In 1986 we ran outlaw ministocks,virtually the same kinds of cars we race now but with 10" slicks.It paid 300$ to win but we couldnt win enough to race both our cars.Tires were 125$ each and lasted about 2 nites on the right.We were fast,breaking under the 15 sec mark,but the racing wasnt good and the car count was poor.Eventually the class failed.Now with 45$ tires and a smaller purse,Thunder cars flourished.And the tire sales man did not take home all the purse money.Besides,watching you guys battle it out,slipping and sliding,was very exciting to watch.2 or 3 wide,rubbing and bumping,was much more entertaining than watching a line drive around.It helped the show also by the faster cars starting in the back.Now with the modified you will not pocket any money even though STS modified feature money is as good or better than any dirt track within driving distance.You can keep the costs in check but to run in the top 5 you will need lots of money.I know how much my brothers team spends and to win every race will not cover it.800$ in tires and wheels alone this week. And 1 new body.Total winnings Sat with 2 cars? 140$.I won 100$ and didnt spend anything on the car.Nothing is more fun than a dirt modified though.Good luck with the car,I know you can drive. G.B.

tps48 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Oldtimer - you need to get a FWD VW and save that money for other things. I ran all last year with the same engine (replaced rod bearings once) Started the year w/3 new tires and bought only 1 left side and 2 right side tires all the rest of the year. My engine cost maybe 700 to build 2 years ago and still runs 8500rpm no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappy_GT13 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Be nice if someone would make an official annoucement of intent or some sort of update, leaving things in a limbo is going to hurt CC even more.

The Shrimp Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 postell69, Remember you found that brakelime kit in a racing catalog. I'm not saying that they won't sell things that are junk, but I as well as many of the dirt modidfied drivers have the plastic brake lines. Buy it, it's easy to install and you'll be able to stop when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
