thumper Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well I cant make the meeting eather but I am curious to see if they are going to untie my hands and feet or keep this a Ford class.Its intresting how now that the restrictions on FWD cars have made them uncompetetive,now some Ford teams still are not happy. Theres only 3 thing I would like changed back to what once was.Locked differential,adjustable rear suspension and pound per cc.Then I dont care what the others do. Otherwise,do something to slow down the Fords.I have never been a fan of restricting race cars but there is not a level field now.This might make some of the slower Ford teams happy because it will make the cars less expensive. As it is now,I cant get excited about the new season.So call me a crybaby.Ive been called everything already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hi Teck why are you through with the thunder you where the main one trying to get thing changed and know you say( i said my piece) whats up as for the bomber i don't see anythings that would need to be changed maybe tires size that way STS cars can come and race other than tires I think they are the same rules i am not aware of the bomber rules just yet .but if anything changes i want a new set ... as for thunders . they cost to much for me to run in ..as in my son to run in ..bombers are cheaper and my brother has two of em .so i may buy one of em .so ill go the cheaper route ..i wont put my son in a class we cant afford to compete in .. he is a rookie but has a better chance of running good with the bombers over a shorter time span that with thunders .... money cost is one main factor ..i cant afford a good fast what we need motor in that class ... still looking at the front runners .but really leaning on the bombers ..i drove one last year and it was the most fun i have had in years ..behind the wheel ..... i will still be in the thunders in some shape or form .jr and lisa will be running .. but with my son .ill spend most of my time helping him ...... good luck ...... bj as for tires .the one size they are running now are cheaper .but i would not be unhappy if they ran the other size either ..aswell ..

HiTech Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 gb you said you didnt care what the fords have aslong as the ford teams untied your hand and let you have what you want .... now that should fix the problem huh ...i say why not run what you brung and run slicks if you like ..you would not like that cuz lalo and jessie and some others would show up and you would still be in the same boat ..lacking as you seem to be saying ..now if they untie your hands and do nothing to the fords ..that would make you feel even better ..why 15 second lap times would not be a pipe dream for your car ..we old timers know what that would do to your car ... therefore you would go back to winning all the races you want easily .which is what you like to do ..easy money ..cuz we all know you race for the money ..and you dont like to work on your car to do so .... the fords have spent years catching you ... ... now they have .you dont like it ...i know you didnt win as many races as you are acustom to ..thats racen .. now i know a good handleing car is the way to go ..but in any racen .. you have to have power to keep up with the ones that do ..look at jr ..he didnt have alot of power last year .. his car handled purty good considering ...but even when he was faster than you and cody through the turns ..he got out powerd and both of you passed him .. so he got some power from his dad and walla he was starting to get faster than you. ... you didnt like that ..so whats the answer gb ...this is why i am really likeing the bombers ..cuz this is the same old same old .and im tired of it ...... good luck next year ....

HiTech Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 There is one easy answer,make all cars run an open differential.All problems solved.No cost. that wont help either ..rwd would just spin the tires ..heck you dont have locked diff now ..and your fast or faster than most as it is ..... lol .. gb maybe its time for us older guys to set back and let the youngers have at it ..we have done this so long .both of us dont want the other to have the big advantage ..... and you know i am right ...as for cost .yes it would cost some to go that way ..most have welded gears .....

thumper Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Charley,that sounds like fun but right now I am busy re-building the Rabbit,the original Thumper.I am making it a dirt car to run at RGS.They have no weight thing or rear camber thing.It will have a stock everything and meet a vacuum and compression rule thing.There is a TRD celica winning everything with a Ford right there too.Hopefully Thumper ! can keep up.They will start in a couple of weeks.Once Thumper 1 is finished,I can build another engine for Thumper 2.RGS runs only twice a month after April 1 so I can race both asphalt and dirt without changing everything.Too bad the Rabbit is too far from CC rules to take too. Is your car ready yet????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
