mraracing Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 What differnt sanctions are there? Whats the main differnce in rules? I hear theres a crate option in some, what advatage/dissadvatage? I would like to get a car but not a brand new one in case I dont like it (I have played in the dirt all my life) I need something cheap to start with or maybe rent a ride for a race or two. Im in Longview Tx. so I guess Austin or Houston would be closest. Any help would be great. Thanks Mike Ambern mraracing@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Just my humble opinion ................................. but if you haven't run pavement before I don't think Super Lates are the place to start. Especially if you're lookin' for something cheap, in case as you say, you don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mraracing Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thanks for the input Budman. I agree its not cool to start at the top class but I think I have enough under my belly-belt to not be a problem for other drivers I hve been in racing for 27 or so years driving differnt classes.I even done around 100 laps at TMS in the driving school. I still plan on running dirt in mods and lates thats why I want to do it as cheap as possible too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelracewriter Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Buddy, MRA has slung a car around Devils Bowl, among other tracks. He shouldn't have any problem fitting in. After Devils Bowl any other track is almost a walk in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Oh, then good. My concern was unfounded. Thanks for the info. Â The Devil's Bowl, huh, that's another track I gotta make it to this year. Almost did last year. Was within 20 miles and my truck blew a radiator hose. By the time I found a replacement, got it on and the coolant refilled, it was to late to head to the track. Â I did find out one thing though, I'll bet you didn't know. KY Jelly works GREAT for sliding new radiator hoses into place. Now that's ONE hilarious story, but I can't tell it on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMSCHEIDRaceServices Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 <------ Wondering why Budman was carrying KY Jelly around with him in his truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 That's the hilarious part, J.C. I wasn't. OK, OK, I'll tell you this much. There I was , over 200 miles from home with a busted hose and not a tool one in my truck. Â I had managed to locate the required molded hose, on a Saturday night, which was no small feat in itself. But then I had to change it out. A very kind and gracious lady had lent me a screwdriver and I had gotten the old hose off, but was having trouble pushing the new hose on to the intake bib. Â She was standing beside me while I was working on it. I commented that I really needed some vasoline "or something" to lube the hose to push it on. With that, she left, then returned a moment later. Without saying a word, she handed me this tube of KY. I had to keep a straight face while I finished the job. Â Then I thanked her for being so kind and helpful, again keeping a straight face. Â I can't tell you anymore than that, but you know what? The stuff worked better than vasoline or anything else I've ever used for that purpose. No tool box is complete without a tube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kn1ghtblade Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 So your saying I should ad "KY" to the list of misc chemicals I should have in my shop??? LoL LoL 1. New Radiator Hose 25.99 2. Screw Driver 10.99 3. Tube of KY Jelly PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mraracing Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 That would be a good sponsership ad for them...KY not just for the bedroom  When is the first SLM race of the year and where?Im gonna run the Procuts at TMS and looking for a race to come see.

Budman Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Mike, Â Regarding your question on SLMs, I wish I could tell you more, but right now SLM pavement racing in Texas seems to be in somewhat of a state of kaos. Keep an eye on this board. Maybe the picture will become a little clearer in the near future. Â Regarding the "personal lubricant" story, when I reread it, I thought "They're going to think I made that up", but I swear it's absolutely true!

Truck99 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Note to self: Add a tube of KY to the racing tool box. You just never know when you might need to push on a stubborn hose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
