Fun Run Detail:

The fun run is a non points race to close out the season. It will run more like a club race than the typical CRL. We will pass out the series awards at this race (or make other arrangements if you cannot attend). We will do prizes in a similar way as the normal race day prizes. You will get one ticket for each entry that you did throughout the year (i.e. Bob Reilly ran all five events and two classes at the first one, so that awards him 6 tickets - plus, if he enters one class at the fun run he will get one more). This rewards those who attended more races and ran more classes with more prize tickets and hopefully a greater chance at prizes. The Fun Run entry fees are the same, $20 for the first class and $10 for the second - each entry that day gets a prize ticket too.

Any sponsored drivers out there that can get prize donations for this event, I sure could use some help. It looks like the CRL budget will end up the year at about $1,500. A little more than half will go to season end awards. The rest will go to buy prizes for the fun run day.

Fun Run Invitational
We will hold an invitational for the ten best drivers from 1/12th and touring. This is an invite only class. Ten of the fastest from Touring and ten from 1/12th scale will be invited to race in the invitational. Touring will run muscle car bodies that the CRL will provide. For 1/12th we have 71 Corvettes on the way.

Best Paint - Open to anyone who wants to paint one of the invitational bodies. The driver has some say in who paints his car and some will want to paint it themselves. We have two prizes for paint awards.

Race format: Both classes will run 19 turn motors and the special bodies. We will run 4 main events for each group (no qualifying needed, just the morning practice with the special bodies). Main #1 starts with the field inverted from their points standing (Mod champ in back, 19 turn champ in 9th, stock champ 8th, etc.). Main #2 starts inverted from the finish of main #1. Then inverted again by the finish of main #2. And once more inverted from #3 for the last main. We will award points for each main, 10, 9, 8, etc. from the winner on down. Add up the total points and drop one (keep best) for a winner. The tie break will be the 4th low score followed by the fastest laps/time from the four events.

This is tons of fun to watch. I would like to get video and photos from everyone who shoots any.

Keith, please confirm me in the 1/12 invitational for the 3/11 fun run. I need the bodies asap so I can put the paint on it and install the new body mounts. (chop chop - in the words of Rich)

Hammie,

Thanks for all your hard work to promote this series for all of us. Sorry we could not make race #5 but we will be at the fun run on the 11th. What are your thoughts on the painting of the body. Any kind of paint would be fine with Jake. Let me know what we need to do. If we need to paint it you can expect your favorite, orange with fade to orange flames, always a classic.

Thanks again and see you guys on the 11th.

Thanks.........for a great series Keith Hamilton. I don't think that I can make the fun run! Our local track is having a race that day (March Madness at World of Hobbies in Cincy). Unfortunately for me this is the second race that I could not attend due to a prior commitment. I look forward to seeing all my racer friend in the near future, good luck to all and don't forget to have FUN.

I may have missed it, but which track is hosting the fun run?

CEFX, they had 90 entries

David - thanks for confirming. I should have the bodies by Friday. I can mail it out to you - and I already have your snail mail address.

Eli - kinda figured that you couldn't make it. We actually looked at moving the fun run when we saw the Ohio race date got scheduled on the same day. With Nat's the next weekend and my full scale racing season fast approaching, there just weren't any other dates. We'll miss you at the fun run. Had a blast racing with you at the CRL. We'll pass your '57 Chevy to someone else, but it just won't be the same as seeing the bearded one racing it.

Mr. Delano - thanks for confirming. I can mail the body to you. Please email your snail mail address to me at keith.hamilton@gmplanworks.com You may want to find someone to give your ride a slick paint job, because we are going to make a video for the CRL and Parma websites. I can't decide if I want to paint mine more authentic to the day (Monza Red Corvette) or R/C it up with all the crazy paint runs and stuff.

Well atleast your car will be in a nice festive Red and Green.

Kieth, You can confirm me for the invite! Also Cory will be there in case you need an alternate. Need that body asap. Would love to paint this weekend.
Thanks again for another fun year of the CRL. Yes, FUN, even though I had my worst season ever!! Cory's happy to make the top ten in points. His head may get to big to fit into a trash can. Greg may have to find a dumpster!! I'll e-mail you my address to send the body.

I'll have the touring car muscle cars now and have handed out/mailed all that are confirmed right now. The 1/12th scale 71 Corvettes are being made by Parma Wednesday and Thursday for delivery to me on Friday. I can mail to the out of state guys. I'll have them at CEFX on Saturday for the local guys.

he'll be 20, in college, and he'll still be able to fit in a trash can....

1/12th stock points updated.

Rich and David tied in the best of 3. They each had the same back up scores for the other two races. That takes us back to total laps for the season. Rich with 185 and David with 183. It couldn't get much closer than this.

Keith

Keith - wow, that is close!

You can count me in for the fun run 1/12th thing. I'll try and pick it up from CEFX this weekend. My paint job is going to be sweeeet since I am such a painting expert! I'll see what spray paint cans I have left that barely have enough paint in them so I can continue that Rich Chang look. It's the new style! Haha!

Brokeback Rich - Will your "partner" Tripod be with you for the fun run? He qualified to race the Corvettes too. I think I saw some pink paint at CEFX.

Of course he will be there since I will be there. Is it okay if we bring the horses inside this time, however? They got a bit of a chill this past weekend from standing outside in the cold all day.

I was going to say something about making sure they don't eat the carpet, but then I thought that would be open to too many jokes.. but look, I mentioned it anyways! ;)

btw: Fred and I will be selling the shirts we wore this past weekend on ebay.

-Rich

I'll be there. Might even dig up some of my old paint for Rich's car.

How about a rainbow paint scheme. Or some nice goats or something.

Oh, I forgot, Rich likes "cats".

Just remember, "it's not a purse...it's a manbag"

I updated the confirmed lists. Saturday morning, 3/4, we'll have to start working down the alternates list. Still not confirmed (see page one of the thread):

1/12th - Jeff, Andy and Joe
Touring - Jeff, Chris, Chuck and Joe

Anyone have Lonergan's phone number? I don't think he checks the web too often.

I'll ask Exelby to call Chuck when I talk to him later.

Tim

Chuck Lonergan is in for the fun run. Updated the list on page one of this thread.

Any one know where I might find a pic of a "Greenwood" Corvette ?

Pretty much all the cars that John Greenwood raced were some variation of stars and stripes.

Well, he wanted pictures, so I posted a link to Greenwoods,,Click Here (http://www.greenwoodcorvettes.com/Racecars.html)

Sweet ........... Thanks Mac .

Flyer for fun run and final points standings have been posted on the CRL website.

Keith

I still don't know if I am going to be able to make it. Just go ahead and give my spot to someone else. Hope I can come but it won't be to last minute. That's the auto industry.

Chris Mazzola

Thanks Chris. Updated the first page. Greg Anthony and some other Grand Rapids driver :) who really, really, really wanted to be in is in the show now.

Go ahead and put me in for the fun run. Has anyone ever seen a 71' Vette traction roll????? lol
Rich, I painted you a sweet body Saturday but you didn't want it. I just have to figure out what school I want to put on the side.

Thanks for confirming Andy. Now it's just down to Jeff Switzer and Joe Trandel. I updated the first page of the thread.

Haha! Choose a school district that has a "short bus." I'll be on it!

-Rich


I just have to figure out what school I want to put on the side.

Keith, so, with the bodies, what is the rules?

You can slam them as far as you want to and you can cut the wheels wells as you see fit. You MUST cut the rear bumpber AT the body line. That's the only rule. Someone said, "can the bumper drag on the track?" Sure, just don't cut above that line.

Time to break out the heat gun and mold the body down over my Parma speed 8 body.

I'll leave the Corvette logo, tho.

LOL!

-Rich

That direction was for the touring muscle cars. Since Corvette's are my favorite car in the world, you'll have to cut it right to the body line and no higher, plus paint a big Chevy bow tie right on the hood. Got that Porshe boy!

[QUOTE= Has anyone ever seen a 71' Vette traction roll????? lol.[/QUOTE]

Has anyone ever seen one do "wheelies" ?????????

Actually silly, I have. Quite a few times at the drag strip. And also in RC form. The movie Dead Pool. Drivin by jay halsey...

Tony

Brokeback Racer 2

The upcoming sequel to Brokeback Racer well sure be another tear jerking, heart warm story. Once again our beloved French Asian well be the start with his now life partner Tri-pod. After a dispute over t-bar cars vs. pivot ball cars they have decided to take there racing to all parts of the US to find out which cars i better at each track. They've sold all they had and look for them traveling the country side in there specially modified tour bus named "The Short Bus". Look for the fluorescent yellow bus at a track near you.

With the Porshe not running (dueling banjo's in the background please) Rich is now "Toyota Boy". Or "Scion Sissy" may be more appropriate.

What's Toyota??? I heard them their Toyoter was enteren NASCAR though.

Yeah yeah yeah, I'm getting it fixed this summer. Actually, I think it is just the battery is dead. However, I have to get some custom battery cables made for the new battery. Good ol' German engineering at its best. ;)

-Rich

Keith,
I'm confirming Andrew for the fun run.
