Race day Sept. 15th In review

Well the day started off rainy, but became beautiful by the end. I was not at the race on Saturday so I cannot report too much. I do know that Adam won the open race for his second win this year. Tim won the Monster Truck race for his first win this year. Thank you to all the volunteers and racers this weekend. We will be racing again this weekend Sat the 22nd of Sept. Registration will start at 8am and end at 11am. Please be on time or early, races will start at noon, we do not plan to wait. Also we will have Burgers, Dogs, chips, soda, and water for sale. See you then!!

Glow Plug

Replacing an old glow plug can prevent the element from breaking off and working its way into the engine, which may damage the engine and shorten its racing life. You don't want a glow plug to fall during a race.

Air Filter

A new air filter will increase better fuel mileage, extend the life of you engine, insure constant tune, and increase overall power of the engine. Any dirt that gets into the engine may score the sleeve, damage the bearings, reduce performance or cause the engine to seize.

"Spend Now, Save Later" #1

Clutch Bearings

Replace the bearings to increase the useful life of your clutch. If the bearings blow out, you could ruin the clutch, fuel tank, (if the clutch bell hits the tank) crankshaft, clutch bell, and the diff. gear. Basically the best remedy for this is check your clutch bearings after every run. If you need new bearings visit Acer Bearings. Or get in contact with the RC dept at:Time Machine Hobbies.

New Series "Spend Now, Save Later"

Hey guys today I am going to start a new three part series called "Spend Now Save Later."

The reason I chose this three part series is because; high performance nitro cars in general, and off road cars in particular, consume parts more quickly than other RC vehicles. You must replace the following inexpensive items whenever thier condition is in doubt to avoid more expensive fixes later. I hope you guys enjoy this series, and again I give full credit to Adam Drake and the editors of RC Car Action magazine.

Labor Day Weekend Event Race Results

Well, we had an extremely successful weekend. We ran three classes of racing. We started off with Monster Truck, then Open, and finally Truggy/ Buggy. We had hamburgers, Hot dogs, Soda, and lots of fun. During the main events there appeared to be at least 100 people in attendance. We would like to thank Joe for cooking, Carol for her cashier work, and photography. Also all of our corner marshals, and track maintenance crew. Our weekend would have been far from successful if not for you guys.

We started off the day with qualifying. Our first main event was the Monster truck race. John C. took the win again for the second time this season in the Monster truck main wielding his Traxxas Revo.

Our second main was the Open. Gary C. took a very close win with his new Jammin CRT. This was Gary's 2nd open win, but 3rd win of the season.

Our third main was the Truggy/Buggy race. The win was taken by Adam W. Adam is brand new to the club, He was running his Ofna Buggy.

Congrats, to all who participated. Hope to see everyone next time. The next race will be scheduled for Sept 15.
