Re: Longer course at the classic.

I'm with MikeyD. The Phoenix race was two weeks ago, and the results still haven't appeared on our official web site.

Re: Cliff and Nancy Telford Memorial Scholarship Fund 2022

I'm in. At the 2021 Nats Bruce Richmond and I were inducted into the NMPRA Hall of Fame. I would like to express my gratitude for this honor by supporting the Cliff and Nancy Telford Memorial Scholarship Fund. As Tom Scott pointed out, if we all would just make a small donation equal to less then a ...

Re: Electric 424 Q500

Dwayne, There's your answer; just hold the Quickies back for 2 seconds. Problem solved.

Re: Electric 424 Q500

Dwayne, From my limited experience the speed of a 424 Quickie, and an Ef1 are extremely close. Others may have a different view?

Re: EVO .46NX Bearing Sizes?

Leo, I believe it's the same as the Thunder Tiger Pro 40/46. Just pull one of your dad's engines apart, and compare.

Re: 2021 426 points - UPDATED

Thanks Doug for what you do to keep up with the points. I did points for 3 events back in the 80's for my district, before computers became a common tool, so I know what you are dealing with. I talked with Trey about 10 days ago, and we discussed several topics, including the 426 points. I waited to...

Re: 2021 426 points - UPDATED

OK my name doesn't appear on the list either, and I raced in 5 races. I paid my dues in cash to Trey at the spring race in Muncie. Check with him, and he will confirm that I was a member all year.

Anyone else noticed that the EF1 results for the Ben and Carolyn Martin Classic are only through 4 rounds?

Re: Potting the Wing Saddle with Silicone

Jim, whatever film you use, there is the chance that it will wrinkle. I use PVA (poly vinyl alcohol). I brush it on.

Re: 2021 NATS PRACTICE TIME PROCEDURE….

So I will admit right off the bat that I may be over analyzing this protocol, but I've got some questions. #1. Will these procedures be in effect Saturday 6-19? #2. Did I miss something, or will 424 have to share practice time with EF1, 426, and 422 on Saturday? This probably won't be a problem sinc...

Re: What'cha workin' on?

Tim, That pink is Ultracoat, and not Monokote "Circus Pink". Annabelle picked it out.
It's more of a 'shocking pink", or a day glow pink.

Re: general question

Mack, There are better, more knowledgeable folks then myself to respond, but since no one has, I'll try to answer your questions. By the way, try to be patient when you don't get an answer right away, as everyone doesn't visits this, and other sites daily. You should be just fine, and fully EF1 race...
