Status: offline 		Maybe I should have come...... sounds like the Jammin got to be used by someone who needed it more than me . Thank you for the offer, that's cool.
Just got a sh..load of stuff delivered. Everything except the bulkhead housing (stripped threads) so I might be able to hack something together for this weekend.

9 laps is impressive for the first time out, considering about the amount of wear and destruction I put mine through the first day.

Status: offline 		Actually -- the buggies taking 1st and 2nd place were both running with the OS RG engine!!

That stinks that the bulkhead housing is still on backorder -- I am not familiar with your buggy at all, but is it something that some CA glue can fix for the short term?

I wouldn't mind going down to Amherst as a group - sounds like fun to me. Is that race the 18th or 19th of June? I think that the track is just north of Lynchburg so my guess is that it is about a 60 mile drive (?) which isn't too bad at all. We can have a C'ville race team!

Status: offline 		CA will probably work OK'ish but not more. I have tio use a M4 screw because the hole is so big. I fixed the broken aluminum part with JB weld and will use that one instead of the new part until I get the new bulkhead.

The race is on June 19.

Status: offline 		Wayne and I are going to the race for sure. I am hoping that they run ROAR rules because the CRONO is a 21.

I want to thank Kevin and Scott for getting my Jammin pro to handle on the track so thank you.

Status: offline 		I doubt it but if so count me out. I dont do the ROAR thing. The flyer said nothing about ROAR rules. When I talked to the guy Joe at Scotts a month or so ago they had not run any actual races there and didnt even have a lap counting setup so not really sure how they are doing it.

By the way, Eddie, your welcome. Hey thats what we are all here for to help each other out and have some fun.

Status: offline 		I got an email back from Joe. He said they are running local rules and any motor is legal. He is going to send me the rest of the rules before the weekend. He may even come by since he needs to go by Stampy's anyway. I will post as info becomes available.

Status: offline 		thanks for following up Kevin. I too looked at the flyer and didn't see anything about ROAR rules. Keep us posted. Did Joe say what day he was going to stop by? I am curious as to the size of thier track incase a clutch bell change is needed.
