Heat gun saves the day

Actually the U shape should be pointing up so I just fixed it.

 

[DavidB1126]

Fixed. Will still plan to get another pair since the 4wd needs new rears to match the fronts. That's what I learned about carpet racing. You HAVE to replace a whole set instead of buying a new pair because traction will be uneven between the front and rear.

Our girls were ok but they got all upset the minute you tried to put ketsup on them!

Seems like crazy times period

Rant:
Pay attention to what you are doing. Directional tires suck.

Left side is pointing down. The other is pointing up. Both should be pointing down lol.
Hopefully it works

Look at it as you can race forward or reverse.

Yep nope. Can't go out of school for lunch. Have to stay in the building. Can't go up the street to McDonald's or down the street to Tony's and/or no food delivery unless is by parent or listed guardian.

Up here in Bmore you don't have them fancy schools with the McDonald's and a subway in the cafe lol

I'm in high school, and we don't have fancy restaurants, but on Fridays we get Papa John's, and on Wednesdays we get Bosco sticks. They also have ice cream, and burgers, and and a whole ahh salad bar. We livin it up!

I didn't care for pizza day because they only served one square.
It never was enough.

....but, only in circles!

I got both pontoon floats built and was working on the float mounts and damned if I didn't
glue the mounts upside down.
It's ok though because I had a better idea for them.

I fixed your pic bro. Ya don't want to put your name and address out there, especially with the tracking number. That's like inviting porch pirates. Bots and other automated scam software troll the internet for that stuff, even in images

Rant:
High practice fees. This track charges PER car. 20 bucks PER car. Not a flat full day rate like every other track I been too. He only saw my 2 buggies when walking in and I had 5 cars with me. But still 40 bucks, this should be a race day kind of money not a fun open practice day. Sure I get it you just opened up / moved to a bigger spot in the shopping center but 40 bucks! thats insane. They get 30-45 drivers on a normal club race Saturday so they are making the money. Wonder actually how much is their rent per month. (No way in he** that ill be paying 100 bucks to run all of my cars for practice. Nah uh. Don't have that kind of money.)

Separate rant:

I forgot how much dust and gunk CRC carpet makes on your cars. Time to save up for a electric mini air duster. Cause I can't find cans of compressed air at costco or big lots anymore and they are too expensive.

 

[DavidB1126]

Not a flat full day rate like every other track I been too.

Lets see. Yep. My local indoor dirt track is 25 bucks flat full day practice or club race.
The other indoor carpet track charges 15 for flat full day practice. Not sure on club race though.
The far away carpet track (near @Smilinbri ) charges 10 bucks flat rate full day practice and 25 bucks for club race.

With all the money I spent on going to an actual track it might just be best to get outdoor RC carpet if that is actually a true thing and do a backyard carpet track but grandma and mom will hate me if I do something like that. And I have 0 space to store big rolls of heavy carpet and jumps when it rains.

 

[Doom!]

I guess it's time to choose, what's it gonna be, racing or bacon? You can't afford both.

Oreos taste better than tires, too... even with the sauce.

That would have been when I turned around and left. That's just dumb. You can't drive both cars at one time. Our local track is free to play, 24/7. The track before that was $4/day. I'd be leaving them a few reviews around the internet. Google maps reviews get a lot of hits.

 

[Mat60]

Right now I couldn't afford to race anywhere never mind having to cut back on my hobby of drinking and smoking. Thats my rant.

 

[DavidB1126]

Yea someone ranted about the 30 dollar entry fee for club racing on the Facebook group and yea. Fir club racing I'm fine with that but open practice per car is just crazy. Especially at 20 bucks per.
