I ordered 5 pair of Wizzard and five pair from Lucky Bob. I figure that will be enough for the October race and Dave has a race coming that I hope the 2.5 car s will be run. For some of you that might seem like a lot, while others might feel its a small order. Right now that is all I can do. My son is having Health issues and I myself have need to take care of something health wise. Best I can do right now. If I remember we had twelve or so racers at the last race sending in two cars each for the most part . If we all placed our orders for just those cars it would be 44 pairs. If we add tires for testing and future needs we could double that amount. Things are tight right now and I understand. Wizzard for the time being will make what we order to help us have a supply. The thought being they would also like feed back to help them #1 get an idea of amount to make #2 Not make to many as to make changes in future production to better suite our needs. Such as rim size, rubber compound and coating and width. Lucky Bob will do the same. Just to second what Al said, it will go a long way in allowing these suppliers to gauge our wants and needs. Im not selling tires for them, I get nothing from this but the feeling I am helping my fellow races and the hope the next time I order, the tires are there without waiting for a ridiculous amount of time. So please, now is time for us to work together. If you haven't done so yet , please do not wait. You won't be charged until you order can be filled. The gears for your 4 Gears are different and Al will keep us up to date what needs to be done if you think its something that is wanted. Go back and read Al's post for that info. Thank you Mr Pink for your guidance to me and members. Pete thank you for your efforts and looking out for us here on the forum. It is greatly appreciated! Best wishes to you and your son with the health issues. Also I second that thanks to Al Pink as well!! I sent my email to Wizzard this morning for 6pr of tires and 6 gears.....for now. |

Pete the Pro Mod 2.5 will be included in the November race. The class has proven very popular. Announcement will be made after Jeff's race.
Sili foam tires are almost a necessity in that class, that is if you like finishing the race with rubber on the rear tires.

I also sent a message with no response. They are probably busy. It took about 2+ weeks to get the Fusion chassis I ordered.

Cheryl Lincoln from Wizzard just called me.
she needs to know specifics.
a couple guys have ordered tires and she has made notes of that.
RC is cutting tires and needs to know quantities and sizes that people are willing to buy.
this might be a one time opportunity and we need to act on it now.
you can go on the web site and leave a message through the "contact us" page.
you can call, which at this point, Cheryl recommends.
I do not know why previous messages, emails, or phone calls haven't been answered.
I think that should just be left in the past and call now.
again, specifics.
quantity
size
what ever they make this weekend is probably all that we can expect for the coming months.
Cheryl asked me to make this announcement.
please act now or do not complain later.

Anyone wanting silifoam tires from Wizzard please order them by phone this week at 814.623.7482
They are making a batch but they will not be on the web site. Al and I have put our orders in.
2.5 Pro Mod will be run at my race in November and this type of tire sure helps keep the rubber on the rim in that class.

Received a tracking number from WHP today. Tires are in stock.
Have a email out to LB and expect to hear back on those tires. He will contact those who ordered and I will let everyone know when in stock if your waiting.

Have not heard about delivery yet. I sent an order for some other parts to be added to the tire order which
may delay it some.
