Congrats to Randy and Wayne. Thanks for comming through in the pinch.
An "institution" has been saved. :D

lets all promote the heck out of K&M so people know that they are under new ownership. I think the new owners will make a huge difference.

Heck yeah! I had a chat (for CJtamu, that's phone call with some one) with Wayne over at Randy's Hobbies and I will say this, they embrace and definitely agree with the 2CRT focus and direction! Could not be happening at a better time!

I'll be there Sat after we get done at Mike's.
Bigmax
09-02-2005, 11:30 AM
Will do. Will be good to start a new era of indoor racing. Randy will be AWOL (something about a 10 year aniversary happing a year late or other) but Wayne will be there early.
May a suggestion box is in order. Although Wayne does have some AWESOME Ideas!
Starting off they can use all the help they can get. LET RACE!!!!
cjtamu
09-03-2005, 08:44 AM
Man. don't know if I'm going to make it to Mike's. Weather doesn't look too promising. Anybody up in that part of town have a weather update? I'll see y'all at K&M for sure, that's the beauty of an indoor track.

So who came out to K&M?, I was going two go but some things came up.
Bigmax
09-04-2005, 09:44 PM
Good Night! 42+ or - entries. 2 full heats of 1/8th scale. Full heat monster truck, Decent 1/10th scale gas truck, Stock buggy , mod buggy, stock truck. No Sprint this time :( .
3 quals and mains and thru by 12:00. Wayne can run a race! Going to be a new era of Indorr Offroad for K&M and HOUSTON!!!
BTW, Who's thinking K&M should have a new name? I say yes.
nitroaddict2182
09-04-2005, 10:38 PM
i vote yes for the new name too
RH Customs
09-05-2005, 12:59 AM
Any trucks running 19 turn?
RH
RH,
That would probably fall under mod truck, but looks like they only had stock truck.
Biggy,
Name change? Really? K&M is kind of established and known - I'd be concerned about the place kind of falling off the map if the name changed. What names are being thought of? R&W for Randy and Wayne? HEHEHE!! Just messing around.
PD2:cool:
Bigmax
09-05-2005, 12:20 PM
Something I have mentioned several times. Change is good. I was thinking Randy's Raceway then began thinking something Generic. Like, New Caney Raceway, Bayou City Raceway, I59 Raceway, Racer's Haven,.......
That way each time a owner change happens then it can stay the same.
Randy is going to do what he thinks is good. I'm just thinking out loud.
cjtamu
09-05-2005, 12:32 PM
Yeah, it was fun racing. Ended up not racing mod buggy, Kev decided not to run and the track was pretty blown out so I decided not to abuse it. Lemme know when they're going to do some work and I'll try to get there. The name change would be OK, but I think on the web. flyers, etc. it should say (former K&M Raceway) for a bit until everyone gets it figured out.
Bigmax
09-05-2005, 01:19 PM
Yes, Lack of enough people or due to the doors not being open other than Saturday then the track is lacking maintenance. Randy has plans on going over this week to start on working the track & other areas. It may take some time to get all he wants done but the end result should be great! Thanks go out to those that has came forward offering assistance. I will give your numbers to Randy.
Thanks go out to Randy for coming forward and keeping K&M open! Wayne for his professionalism and experience also his FAROUT announcing!!!!
Ronnie Norris
09-05-2005, 09:48 PM

How was the turnout last Saturday? Just got back in from the Great White North.
RH Customs
09-19-2005, 10:16 AM
I have yet got a chance to head up there, and I was wondering what classes are being ran for electric truck. Is there a 19 turn class,? because currently that is the only turn motor I have.
Thanks
RH
cjtamu
09-19-2005, 11:32 AM
Stock and Mod RH. You'd have to run the 19T in mod.
jerry23
09-19-2005, 04:44 PM
Hey David, we had 5 in buggy and 4 in truck, both stock no mod class.

09-19-2005, 10:32 PM
Would anybody be up for having a 19 turn class for both buggy and truck? I think that would be cool.
RH
Bigmax
09-20-2005, 12:55 AM
We would but I'm thinking your the only one out there with a 19 turn. :biggrin:
If you are coming out I would be glad to loan you a stock motor as long as you don't beat me.
David, Guess who lucked out and not only TQ'd stock buggy but won the main too. GUESS!!!!
Ronnie Norris
09-20-2005, 01:20 AM

But it's time we stay with our families to keep them as safe as possible. Yes, I'm staying put. Don't know if its a wise decision but hey, that's just me.
If we have communication by all our means. Keep us posted as I will do the same. Cell phones have proven to be worthless today. All I was able to get was a busy signal or no service. What's with that????!!!!!

RH Customs
09-30-2005, 09:44 PM
What time does the track open tomorrow? I don't think I will race, but I want to put in 3 or 4 hours of learning time.
RH
I think K&M opens at 11 am, but double check by contact Randy's - hope their phone is fixed now.
You ought to race bro - just go out and have some fun. Keep the truck on all fours and just finish - doesn't matter what you place. I've done that so many times and have ended up in the top 3. Go have some fun and race!

RH Customs
10-02-2005, 10:22 AM
Wow is a really good word to explain the layout. I finally made it up to K&M ( even got lost getting up there, past the place 3 times lol) anyhow, whoever chose that layout deserves some major thanks. The track set up was awesome. The only thing that could have better is if "someone" had not made a swap that I had to wait untill 2 PM actually run and still was soaked. At any rate the layout of the track is one of the better ones I have seen. Only complaint I have, and like to here your input on is the table top jump. The jump is really cool, but once you make the turn to the right of the jump it is really hard to see where your R/C went. I saw several 1/8 buggies go BOOM against that white pipe because you can really judge how fast you are going off the turn. I would still like to keep the tabletop jump, but I think is should be moved to the far right where there is the strait then curves ( side where the pits, face), or something cooler but it right on the launch strait. At any rate it was fun and I have to do it again and run my MF1 again.
RH

10-02-2005, 12:34 PM
Thanks to Andy and TJ for the new layout. I personally liked it also. The New K&M is a work in progress. I really appriciate all the hard work Wayne, Randy, Lyn, Andy and TJ have put into it. Wayne said he would like some racers input. He can't please all but will seriously consider all suggestions.
Biff.....thanks for a place to say these things.

Andy S.
10-03-2005, 03:33 PM
glad everyone had fun, did what i could to make it a little different till i'm able to tear it down completely and do an entire new track. entrie new layout should be down within few weeks, just getting some things organized first. me and tj have been sitting down and putting some ideas down on paper and some of ideas are pretty wicked. any input is welcome, so please if you guys have ideas email them to me. losiandy1@aol.com

Just wondering if any of the guys who ran 2wd buggy last winter are planning to run it again? I'm talking about Andy, Tol, Ronnie, Jim, and the rest of the group. I know most are running 1/8 at the moment, as we are, but just thinking ahead after the thrc season ends.
Jeff

10-03-2005, 04:40 PM
could be a possiblity, my 2wd has been drivin more by other people then it has been by me. kinda sad

If things work out right, I will most likely be up there racing when the weather gets cool.
Tol Thomas
10-03-2005, 05:46 PM
only suggestions I have is have the jumps not go straight up and the landing not go striahgt down. :)
Andy S.
10-03-2005, 05:54 PM
i'll take all suggestions except tols j/k. technically you weren't going straight up, and you didn't seem to be having anytrouble with it, and we faced it that way on purpose so you didn't sky it out and launch off the track no matter how fast you hit it you still went about the same distance, trust me i pinned it after the main to see if i could pull a back flip, NOPE. didn't happen. take off i believe was fine the landing i wanted to make more tappered but i was dead tired and ready to get out of there.
BUT YES I KNOW IT WAS STEEP, was just something different.
Im going to put a "Sticky" on this thread so it stays near the top. Hopefully some more racers will start posting up.
Hint, hint! :D

10-03-2005, 07:50 PM
i think the tabletop would be cool if it wasnt as tall but longer, and somewhere that its easier to see around, seeing around it was my biggest problem i think
Tol Thomas
10-03-2005, 09:04 PM
Oh yea Andy, you know I am just razzing you, so don't worry. Only thing I ask is to remember we do not have as much control of these vehicles as people do with 4wheelers and dirt bikes. :)
Andy S.
10-03-2005, 09:12 PM
SHOOT, ALL ABOUT THE TAIL WHIPS,
jerry23- that table isn't big just so you know, actually its pretty small, its just in the wrong spot, even i know it is but it was the only place that seemed ok. track will be changed in a couple of weeks so.....
Andy S.
10-03-2005, 09:14 PM
if the roller wasn't infront of the jump i could see people hitting the jump to fast and going out of control, we put the roller so that section made you kinda get a rythum through there,
Tol Thomas
10-03-2005, 10:05 PM
Andy, so you know, I felt the layout was just right for electric, Fro's gas truck was ok on it, seemed a little tight but his truck was stupid fast with that 30% and his TZ. I can just imagine how it was with the people with no throttle control, like yourself hehe.

My favorite tabletop was on the layout that had the tunnel running beneath the tabletop. Bring that sucker back.

10-04-2005, 03:06 PM
the table crossover will be back, just a matter of time. if randy is willing to do what he's saying to do for the track, you'll be seeing some new stuff, all for the better
RH Customs

superman
10-04-2005, 06:23 PM
I want to see how good Andy is. I think that we need one of those loop the loops like on the old Hot Wheels tracks. I think you could get the plans from Tony Hawk and really make K and M unique.
If you build it they will come

Andy S.
10-04-2005, 07:53 PM
what makes you think i havn't alread got a hot wheels loop ready? as far as the bridge goes i will be making a new one out of metal, with see through grating(sp) so light can get under it and easier to see your car. the old bridge was donated to us by the local housing develpments, wink wink, so the bridge was as big as the amount of wood we were able to find. the new one would be about 10x10 so i don't think there will be a problem. i've got some things planed that i think everyone will like, it all takes time though so just hang with me.
some of you i don't know your sn so introduce yourself so i know who it is.

cjtamu
10-06-2005, 04:40 PM
Most people run either IFMAR pins (red) or Holeshots (M2) on the rear depending on how much they water the track. Not sure about Randy's selection, call and ask.
Smiley

Randy has some of those tires ordered as of Monday. How do I know, I told them to get some coming. I would call before going to see if they came in. 281-469-7000. I will also ask them to bring some to the track Saturday if they get them.

10-10-2005, 09:41 PM
I especially enjoyed it due to winning the A in gas truck! BWAAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA!
I found out that if you resign from all those extra caricular events that it gives ALOT more time to PULL THE LEEEEVER!!!!!!! :D
AWESOME job Biggie!! Congrats on that win! Especially if Chris was runnin! hehehehe
Gonna be out soon - I promise!

When I was running he wasn't winning, ha ha ha ha ha. Actually the old fart had just passed me, and me, Preston and Dave Shattel were swapping 2-4 back and forth and trying to get back to Lynn. Preston and I touched over a jump and he and Dave both came down on top of me and I flamed. Turns out a dirt clod got jammed up into the flywheel of all things. But that was about 5 minutes in and it was a fun 5 minutes. There were 5 of us that were within about 10 seconds of each other in qualifying so we knew the main would be fun. Have to find time to do it again soon.
Bigmax
10-11-2005, 11:08 AM
You didn't say that I qualified last though. Got the bugs or most of them worked out by the main. Whew...

Hey Tol,
I have a bk2 I want to start running more at km. It is set up pretty much by the book. Any suggestions on change to the stock set up, that will be better at the track. I am not looking for more steering or less steering etc..at this point, just a good neutral set up to use as I get comfortable with this car.
Thanks,
Jeff
Tol Thomas
10-12-2005, 05:55 PM
The book set-up is ok, but here are a few changes I would do:
1) long arm front and rear
2) middle hole on the rear arm for the lower shock mounting position
3) pink spring in the rear
4) rear hubs centered
5) 1 shim under the rear forward pivot mount(adds 1 degree antisquat)
Those will make it a lot easier to drive at K&M.

Andy, those are changes from Kinwalds Stock set-up. It makes it very neutral to drive that way. Slightly pushes and a medium between forward and side bite in the rear.

For the old MF1, I found the following set-up worked great:
Front:
shocks = 56 RED piston, .090 internal limiters, 30 losi oil, silver springe
shocks mounted = 1 in on the tower and center on the arm
camber link = middle(1 washer) on the bulkhead, center on the hub
spindle location = top
toe = 0 degrees
camber = - 1 degree
ride height = arms level
Rear:
shocks = 55 ORANGE piston, ZERO limiters, 32.5 Losi Oil, Pink Spring
shocks mounted = 1 in on tower and middle on arm
camber link = middle on tower and outside on hub
anti Squat = NO shims
hub spacing = centered
camber = - 1 degree
ride height = bones level
Other:
Battery = back
gearing:
mod = 10 turn = 16/86
stock = P2K = 21/86
Monster 18/86

I really liked the layout of the new track lastnight, thanks to all the guys that worked really hard building it.
Bigmax

The extra dirt did make for some RADICAL elevation changes. Now to find a place on the driver's stand that will give me a viewpoint of the whole track. 2 words, DEPTH PERCEPTION!!!
GREAT JOB and CUDOS goes out to everyone that helped out. Without you it would have been done but it would have taken longer. I can see this track and Facilities become a National recognized Track again!!! With your help it will happen.

You must be a proud pappa.
Well, They came, We Raced, All had FUN! Wayne needed some time off to be with family and Randy had a funeral to go to. so he arrived late. That left myself, Tison was volunteered to help annouce, David carter popped in for a few while waiting for a plane to land with his Bother in-law(THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP DUDE!), And Tom who came to watch but didn't race. We did a good job if I must sa so myself.
I TQ'd in Stock truck due to Melvin was AWOL. So I let Randy run the main for me. Now that was FUNNY!!! Running 1/8th scale and then pulling the leeever on a flashlight does change things abit. You had to be there.
Wayne will be gone next week also. Going to California for Thanksgiving and an annual race that he has hosted for several years. just because he's here doesn't mean he has forgotten all those Cali Racers. Very talented guy for sure.
The doors will still open next Saturday anyway and I'll be ready to PULL THE LEEEEVER!!!!

11-13-2005, 09:52 PM
the one thing i found from running his fuel is that you dont have to tune it hardly at all. From last weekend at K&m till yesterday in La. i didnt even have to touch the motor at all. It was perfect. Cant wait to get some more of RICH'S BREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andy S.
11-13-2005, 10:29 PM
ronnie, that would mean your motor actually said running. DAAAAAAANG THAT MUST BE GOOD FUEL IF RONNIES MOTORS STAYED RUNNING

Sorry I couldn't make it Biggie. I even set my old B2 back up to run Stock w/ a vintage Tekin G12c speedo. Man, that thing has some punch. I have the AD2 ready to try out also. Maybe this weekend. Has anybody been running mod buggy?

What kind of electric turn out are ya'll having. What is the monthly race schedule and start times? Some of us Louisiana boys are thinking of making a trip in the near future.
Thanks ,

Bigmax
11-14-2005, 08:59 PM
On a good night when some of our folks aren't in Louisiana racing. We have some that run Mod buggy. But mostly our Stock buggy and truck has stayed alive for the most part. Let us know ahead of time and I know some other mods will give you some competition.
That answers both of you.
Chris, Gas truck has a following so BRING IT!!!
Andy, What you said was a hoot just the same. Ronnie deserved that! No offense Ronnie. :wink:

sdmlsu- Races are every Sat at 6:00, I think the gates open about 11:00 for practice. Let us know if you're coming, we'll try to get Tol and Kev etc. out. Like Biggie said teh Mod is hit or miss, but if y'all are coming we should be able to get a good crowd.

Thanks for the response. I fully expect to make a trip shortly after Thanksgiving. I've had several people express interest.

just give us a head up and i'm sure a bunch of the guys will be willing to break out the electric's again, will make for some bad *** competition.

sdm- Nikki's putting on a big nitro race here the weekend of Dec 10, so don't make it that weekend. A lot of people are planning to race that and it's a Fri thru Sunday day gig.
