Thanks for keeping this thread up Mike . I think it's very helpful to both the Racers and HSH at the same time . I picked up the 64p gearset yesterday afternoon. See everyone tonight.

Haven't been by the shop in a couple of weeks. What's new? Still looking for some Murcielago ASCs.

We have a good supply of most everything that has been selling as well as what may be needed for the out of towners here for the race. Murcs have been on the out of stock list for the past couple of orders. We will keep trying.

Mini Tags

Flipside is loaded and somehow I stumbled on the process to load data onto the tags. Of the ten tags I had ordered one wouldn't scan. I loaded three for myself two for Pedro Two for Wade and one each for James and Rodney. I have run a test race and they all seemed to pick up properly when hand passed over the loop. Interestingly enough there is a name call out for fastest lap and personal best lap while the race is running. I also obtained the instructions for moving the data from the generic tags over to the CORE software. That part will take someone with much higher computer skills than I have. In the meantime we can run it from flipside and manually sort the mains.

I will order more of the tags tomorrow. I will get 50 of the small tags and 10 of the next size up for the F-1 cars. The F-1 size tags fit perfectly onto the battery door. The larger size should provide a little insurance that they will record. If anyone thinks that we should have more let me know.

Sounds great Mike ! I definitely want at least one for each class we run (stock, lemans, and F1). So, let me know what I owe and we'll settle up .

Thanks,
James

Great! That's all we need! Rodney's name getting called out every 15 seconds for fastest lap! Can you make the computer say "Hey Rodney your fly is down" or something like that during a race?

Seriously, good news, look forward to trying them. When the new ones come in I will take one for every car. Thanks...

You better stop and speak with Vicky. I was by there later in the afternoon saturday and she made it clear to me she isn't 100% sure she wants to change. Andy and I were talking up the core system but she is concerened about buying another system. We need to sit down with her and get her decision.....

Core vs. Amb

For what it is worth even though I personally own a core system. I think the AMB is a far superior system. There is a reason why PN and Atomic are not running core systems at there events.

I have personally experienced laps not counting. At my office track, our event and others. I think it happens more frequently than people realize. If you normally lap the field by 5 to 6 laps it doesn't really matter.

I think that it is great that we are learning the Core system and what not, especially for big races. It is very convienient to give out transponders for bigger races. I just think AMB is a better system. It's like going from a digital TX to a stock KT-5 in my opinion.

I do not deny it is very useful for larger events, unless we are planning to have more frequent large races then I think we are wasting our time and confusing things.

It seems to me that we had a solid group racers that have AMB transponders. Last year around this time there was alot of changing of this and that.

The biggest change that I could tell was we lost a bunch of racers!

I know that sociological theory states that in order for the smooth workings of society to continue we must go through conflict and change.

I don't think this pertains to guys racing MINI-Z's. I think we should worry less about timing systems and more about keeping momentum going with this thing.

How can we get more people interested in the sport?

I know one things for sure. Let's get this worked out quickly so as not to interupt the FLOW of good times and great racing!!!!!!!!!

See you all soon,

Jay

MWG Racing

Upon Jay and I entering the upcoming Reflex Endurance race @ Myrtle Beach, we were informed that we must have a team name . Actually, this is probably the first time either of us have been on any kind of team where we weren't either the last one to be picked, or we were the only one on the team . So, realizing that many would probably follow in our footsteps and try to join forces with us, we knew we had to have a name that could stand the test of time (and also had to be easy to remember). So, after much careful consideration and pondering, we decided to form MWG Racing . For those of you wandering, it stands for Mexican and White Guy Racing . I know, it's cutting edge isn't it? Now at this time we aren't taking any applications for newcomers . But, we are working on a new application process to be revealed in the near future as we told Christian . We figured everything had to be ready to roll so we could handle all the applications in a timely manner. I just didn't think it would be fair to keep everyone hanging with hopes of joining MWG Racing . Just to let everyone know, there will be a five page essay on what got you started in Mini-Z racing and a thorough background check. You can also expect a lengthy hazing process followed by a probationary period . But Jay and I both agree that with all that MWG Racing has to offer, it would be well worth your time . I'll keep you posted on the status, thanks for the inquiry .

James

P.S. Rodney, Wade, and Pedro have been banned from ever becoming members.

Application processing fee and criteria

Marwan if you are truly interested in getting the ball rolling with the application process you must first agree to several team mandates:

1. You must never beat James or myself. If you stay in the B bracket this shouldn't be a problem.
2. If you have an opportunity to pass us don't.
3. If we have an opportunity to pass you, pull over.
4. If you have an opportunity to take out an opposing team member do it, even if it means disqualification, damaging your car and or hopefully the car in question (Particularly Rodney, Wade or Pedro).
5. You must carry our gear to and from our vehicles before and after events.
6. Your gear is our gear.
7. Our gear is not your gear.
8. You must share all speed secrets with James and myself even if you have been sworn to secrecy.
9. Never question James or myself in public, in private or anywhere.
10. If you need to ask how much the processing fee is, you probably can't afford to be a member the most exclusive Mini-Z team in the country.

Respectfully,

Jay Vasquez
