Additional Event at the dyno day - XMOD RACING !!

Ok, so I am thinking, we are only going to be using half the bay for the dyno runs, so what should we do in the other half?

bust out some XMOD racing. I will see about getting some Dots and PVC pipe and if we can whip up a small track for us to race on. It will be the shop floor so the drifting will be a blast

Bring grip and drift tires as well

Now its time for all the reno guys to put up or shut up

I posted this on SECCS... but it's prolly more pertinent in this thread:

I wrote a program for designing PVC XMods tracks. It calculates the necessary pieces of 5', 2.5' long pipes and joints needed for a particular layout. Included is our version of Laguna Seca!

Keep in mind you'll need a lot more PVC than you thing, and that you can use the + joints for everything instead of buying a bunch of T's and elbows.

I'll bring the old-n-busted Skyline... hopefully I won't break another hub assembly like I did in the Kitchen 450: sponsored by Propane on Wednesday.

Prolly not... those are fast and well built. XMods are the DSMs of the RC world... cheap and breakable. So, no fair bringing a decent car to the race!

Show car on the left, race car on the right:
