I agree and have no problem sharing anything that I'm doing. We gonna post right out in the open for all the Kiwis to see? I don't know. I asked, politely about their program and was told to bugger off! (if I tell you I have to kill you) May 26, 2022 at 4:55pm alpink said: with all due respect, what are some of these record E.T.s? just want to make some comparisons so that I know where I might stand running with you guys on your tracks. I really enjoy the posts you provide and pictures too. glad to see guys having fun regularly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I could tell you but then i would have to dispose of the body., these are closely guarded secrets. Pete, I assure you they are running bigger than .600 rear tires. I think that the last two times Americans were running tire sizes as regulated by the NitroSlots rules for that class. now JJ says no limit on rear tire size! no question that we have our work cut out for us. just wanted to add this link for the sign up sheet and rules from last year. nitroslots.com/thread/4896I don't see anything denoting that rear tire size limitations were waived. please guys, I am not trying to start trouble and I think JJ has addressed the tire size situation going forward. I just want to know if I missed an announcement last year regarding tire size? simply, if I was under the impression that I was limited to .560 rear tire size for the Kiwi challenge (I didn't enter because of the overwhelming response by American racers) and others were running much bigger outside diameter rear tires, than I had no chance of being competitive. just saying

The Challenge/ Im wondering which gear will work best and tire size. You have a choice of 15 or 19 and Im just guessing 550 tire. If anyone wants to share what they are finding on gear and tire it would be helpful. Im fairly sure the gears must be stock 4 gear, may pay to check with JJ. Auto World 4 gears have 18 tooth crown and Aurora 4 gears have 15 tooth crown gear

I'm going with Clive were starting the 3rd party posse. I think we should get Ken to...
Yes I recall the closely guarded secret. That's why I said to Sandfly when the 57 kiwi came out at the race here it is ha ha. Got to make it faster now ? Looking around strangely scratching my head...

Alright Dynomike I'm ready...pull the curtains back...
This video was not exactly planned out. I originally was yelling out stuff to be personal notes to what was going on, thinking music or something would over write me. After making the video that's the best part. Next time I'll yell out class and what lane. Your just going to have to enjoy what we got it was hard enough. Learning alot with the movie making business.
May I present to you...
2022 SUMMER SLAM EVENT THE MOVIE...

My favorite part is the 4gear final it's frigging hilarious. You just can't plan stuff like it.

Sam,
Very cool video!
The still shots are perfect. But seeing the cars run takes it to another level.
Thanks a million!

We can just look at last years ET's. We know what's fast and what isn't. We just need to build fast cars...period. As far as last years tire sizes, etc.........that was last year and we got spanked. We weren't even close. I think it would have taken more than a bigger tire. I will try to have every detail spelled out for this event so there is no confusion.
