Cheaters will be burned at the stake in front of Kurt Moser's house.

So cheaters get a free ride to Kurt's house?! Count me in!!

[ElSecundo]

Cheaters are gonna be burned in front of my house on the 22nd? Cool -- it's race night at my house, so that'll give the guys a little extra something to do. I'll stop and pick up some marshmallows on the way home from work tomorrow.

Sounds like some fun racing. I'm going to have to make a special trip to GA one of these days...

[SouthernSlotter]

Hey El,

While you are at the store, pick me up some weiners. I much perfer a good hot dog roast than Marshmallows.
Get your butt down here someday soon.
Buddy's been asking about you.

Buddy's been asking about you.

Buddy's going to be busy with the squirrels, so he'll probably forget about me for a while.

Kurt coming to see you soon!!

I won the inaugrual no mag race, and the club members were stunned. Where did you get that car?? Why is it so smooth and fast?? What motor you got?? Who built it for you?? Actually, since we are now running a point series, I decided to get serious about putting a car together.

Anyway the cheating accusations started, and they said that if they were forced to burn me at the stake in front of your house, I would burn for several days!!!

Kurt,

Just to let you in on a little secret, It was just practice on Thursday night.
You know, like qualifing......
The real race starts at my house on Tuesday or Thursday night.
That's when the real A+ cars come out to play.

Let's see if The Old Jaybird sings a different tune next week.
I do hope he does well though! LIKE SECOND!!!!!!!!

^ haha.

Jay, from what I saw and my opinion, the car is legal in my book. It definately has better handling than George's Clarion. IMO, that car is just better balanced than the others. There isn't a lot of weight behind the rear axle to sling that car around unlike our Porsches, plus you have your nifty little weight setup . As for the motor.....it seems like you just got a fast one, like I did.

My car...

....is just one of the flat black Nissan 390 Le Mans test livery cars that I had setting in the box for close to a year. I ran that chassis, old type inline, under the Clarion body. Didn't even use the V3/orange motor hypoid setup that comes with the Clarion. I ran the car in my garage, it seemed pretty quick and the rest is history. I used a Slot It car weighting tip from Luf that I have used on other cars since last June, except not to this degree. My Shell Porsche that your brother [Fate Saint] borrowed/raced was set up very similarly. George and I drove that car to victory in the SSR endurance race last June.

Slot-it setup: Put the weight on the top and sides of the motor take out the front motor pod screws, loosen the rear and let it rock. Ok J the secret is out.

[The Old Jaybird]

Tony, that's just the beginning...

there's the hidden traction magnets, titanium axles, zapped/shimmed motor magnets, timed comm, shaved body, micro ball bearings, etc. "special" tire compounds and pre-treatments....

"If you're gonna cheat, cheat a lot."

Chad Knaus

The scary thing is, that I got around to setting up the Clarion offset chassis with the orange endbell motor, and its even faster than the "cheater car" I ran last week!!

Kurt, see ya soon, what's for dinner? - other than the front-yard Georgia Bubba BBQ, of course.

[ElSecundo]

Hey, nice going, Jay! Mark will be happy to hear you're coming up this way. Guys, is it ok if Jay takes Mark to Hooters before he burns at the stake? mmm, steak...
