2009 - 2.2 Midwest Indoor Rock Crawling Challange

[froboy]

We have the heaters turned on at 68 degrees.

 

[BL44ST]

will the doors be open to the out side... with that many people you think they would unless they are locked... but then fire hazard... so hopfully the heaters work quick or our mf 's will be rock hard...

WOW you are honestly so concerned with your performance that you are worried about someone leaving a door open?

Really?

 

[joesbruiser]

My broke ass can not afford a power supply before then so i get to go to the car to charge cells.:-(

Geez I am really concerned now. My driving performance drops by 47.5521% for every 4.54998 degree change above or below 70.3 degrees. So just starting the comp at 68 degrees will mean I am about 23% under my normal performance.... which suuuuuuccccckkkkks ;-)

No need I'll have a couple extra chargers with. I'm bringing my DUO, my old 5I ac/dc and another 0606i ac/dc plus I have all the adapters needed. We'll have plenty of charging space at no charge. Just glad to help out any way we can.

Tony lave the carpet track set-up so those that are worried about tire and foam temps can do "Hot Laps" while they wait for their turn on the rocks. :roll:

Hmm maybe rental tire warmers would be a good idea. lol "thumbsup"

I just fill my tires with those hand warmer things. I just smack my tires to activate them right before I run. 100 degree tires baby!

I got you covered. Lipo? What balance tabs?

No, he's just scared. He's been out with us Texas boys and knows were coming up there to give a smack down "thumbsup"

Josh crawler cam is ready!! I know it'll cost me in points for roll over touches but I'm doing the comp for fun anyways.

170 degree wide angle, 5 meg. pix lens and 56 minutes of available video time.

Should be interesting to say the least.

but I'm doing the comp for fun anyways.

I could tell that by your choice in tires....

Thanks

I got you covered. Lipo? What balance tabs?

Yes sir lipos.And for balance taps they are all TP.
I have plenty of chargers and balancers.I am just not use to the whole having power thing at a comp.
I really need to get a power supply when the funds allow They do not coast that much and the neighbors would probably do back flips when they got home and the truck hood was not up for a change.

 

[jason]

You know you're a redneck when...

I will be running mine during the comp as well. I am trying to minimize the effects though.

We will need to have you follow me with yours too, could make for some really cool video. I am going to try and upload mine right after each course "thumbsup"

This is the body, untrimmed.

It will be trimmed like this:
