PAPA Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Most of us on here dont own or drive a race car but we love to watch them. I know that about 90% of you guys that have cars/trucks/whatever have a phone that has a camera. PLEASE take just a moment and take a pic or two of your ride as it is right now so we can see what your racing this year. We are your FANS and would love to see your rides as you are getting them ready. We dont care what stage they are in right now. We just want to see those machines. Just send them to me or even Nick and we will get them posted on here for you. Thanks PAPA (210)618-2345 aapapa@swbell.net P.S. You can send them to my phone or computer. Either way will work. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAPA Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I like it Steve. It has Shinny Wheels too. You might think about adding some Flames. Those two things will make it go faster. Do you mind if I ask if its an Open motor or Crate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbinsSr Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 This off season we are pretty much going for a full rebuild. We just spent a week on vacation over at Arden Vikry's house cutting off the fron clip and learning how to rebuild it. we also are redoing the rear suspension. The part I enjoyed is spending time with my son. We both learned alot this week. He is not only a driver but is learning the car inside and out. Also for those of you that dont follow the DCRST, Arden is a true racer. He has won the driver championship the last two years in a row and also was voted by our group to be sportsman of the year. He spends a great deal of his time and resorces working on his fellow racers cars and teaching his fellow racers how to work on and improve thier own cars so he can beat them on the track and not in the pits or garage....Thank you Arden.

Your right flames and shinny wheels are good for 2 to 3 10's of a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arden attended the suspension seminar twice! He already knew most of what I taught, but he taught me a thing or two. Arden is a huge asset to the sport.

Truck99 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Beautiful truck Gary. Ours will look that good before March, but today she still needs plenty of work. These off-seasons seem to get shorter and shorter every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm44 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I had gotten into the a after running the b, started 17th in the a, was in 5th when Egbert spun in front of me, since my quarter and door caused the caution I went to the back(19th) with 5 to go, finished 10th in the race. Got the motor back in it tonight and the decking bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
