No kidding, mine gained a lot of RPMs from just swapping from a Killer Bee to a Babe Bee crank. A Babe crank is perfectly safe at 20k. Especially if I'm in SC while it's running in MO. Laughing

it's not the 0 to 20k that usally causes them to break, it's the 20k to 0!

Dang, dudes, now I don't feel so bad about being a slowpoke! lol!

Y'all get'm there so Kim doesn't postpone. The suspense is killing me.

Kim Wed Jan 23, 2013 5:28 pm

Matt EX Models
Wayne S.
Phillip K.
Bob D.
Doug V.

**RknRusty** Wed Jan 23, 2013 8:30 pm

Big brown should be rolling in with mine any minute now.

Jason_WI Wed Jan 23, 2013 8:40 pm

My engines are currently in Hazelwood , MO.

Getting close might see them tomorrow or Friday.

microflitedude Wed Jan 23, 2013 9:14 pm

The post office closed early today. I'll drop the package off tomorrow morning, but I doubt it will arrive in time.

Jason_WI Wed Jan 23, 2013 9:18 pm

Express mail should get it there in time. Costly though. Priority is 2-3 day.

**RknRusty** Wed Jan 23, 2013 9:42 pm

I'm tearing the house and my car apart looking for my receipt and tracking number. Crap. I never lose paperwork... except now. It better be there tomorrow. They told me Wednesday at the UPS store.

Exhaling... breathing slowly... thanks for reminding me Bob. I forgot about that "Don't Panic" thing. Laughing

I'm sure if I just call the UPS store in the morning, they can track it from my address and the destination. UPS is as dependable as they get. Especially for $19 bucks. And I have the debit card transaction listed too.

Yeah Ron, I spend lots of time second guessing myself, especially when I don't have to. Rolling Eyes

When I don't, that's when I get stung. Devil

got my engines in the padded envelope a few minutes ago, ill try to get them off to Kim tomorrow

**Cribbs74** Wed Jan 23, 2013 11:58 pm

For you guys sending engines tomorrow, unless you express mail them they probably won't make it until Monday. I was going to express mail my package I sent Tuesday, but it was going to cost $29 to do it.

Something to consider.

Kim Thu Jan 24, 2013 3:17 am

OK...Got Mark and Jason's Entries today.

Hey,

While I'm locked and loaded for the Race this weekend, it's not a problem for me to hold off 'till next weekend so some of our guys don't have to gamble a bunch of postage cash on maybe getting their engines to me in time.

Matt intended the Tach Race to be a Winter Diversion, and February certainly qualifies as Winter, so I'm good as long as the members don't mind being away from their babies for an extra week!

Let me know what you all think...

**RknRusty** Thu Jan 24, 2013 8:39 am

As much as the suspense is killing me to wait, I would rather run a full field, so it's okay with me.

Give the slowpokes a 500 RPM penalty! .................Juuuuust kidding.

**Cribbs74** Thu Jan 24, 2013 8:43 am

Well, mine and Bernies should be delivered today, but like Rusty says a full field is better. Whatever is best.

WingingIt74 Thu Jan 24, 2013 8:47 am

Whatever ya'll decide, just let me know so I can get my hotel reservation changed.

Yeah good point. How many entries are un-accounted for?
