Rick-
Just got fed up with the .18 in my Crusher. Ordered the .15 cv-rx before the sale was over at Tower. Looks like I'll have to deal with a pull start again, unless I can find someone who would like to machine a little bit of metal from the backing plate on my tc electric start.

Knoxville.....you probably don't really wanna know what upgrades savage21 has on his truck. He probably has more money in that thing than the yearly budget of some overseas countries! :jest: Other than this problem he's had recently though, the truck is pretty hooked up. :thumbsup:

Steve.....I just knew you wouldn't be able to resist. :lol:

:lol: How did you know that my budget was that high??? :tongue: Well, lets put it this way... I still have the stock engine and I somehow still put more money in hop-ups than I paid for the truck!

Guys I think i'm ACTUALLY gonna be there this time! I dont think i'm gonna race though...it all depends on how much money I have when Sunday rolls around. My friend MIGHT be commin with me also. I just bought a fuel filter for my maxx...I know I know I should've bought that a while ago. :D

I hope to see you guys sunday. If i'm not there...my mom changed her mind and said no at the last second. :cry:

Hard to miss us, there aint much in Bloomster Hollow. :jest: We have a green and yellow sign out front. If you go past the driveway where the sign is and go down toward the barns, the track is down there. Maybe we'll see you this weekend. :thumbsup:

Keep forgetting to mention guys. I posted some new "action" pics on the website on Sunday night. They aren't the best quality but they are shots of the track with vehicles flying around. :) Going to try and get a couple movies posted tomorrow. :thumbsup:

Hey Rick, just looked at the pic page. I guess my truck is too fast for your camera! It just a little blurry!

BlueIceMaxx
07-30-2003, 12:49 AM
Yeah I just checked em out too...awesome pics! I know once I see vid's of ya'll racing i'm gonna start drooling cause I wanna race sooooooo bad. :D

I hope I have my truck setup OK for the track. I'm thinkin about gettin some sway bars. But i've heard they limit the amount of suspension travel...is that true? :confused:

BlueIceMaxx
07-30-2003, 12:59 AM
Hey Savage21 how about hoppin on MSN from time to time. I got some questions for ya.

OvalmanPA
07-30-2003, 04:10 PM
Shaun.........digital camera + moving vehicles usually = blurry pics unfortunatly. :) I need to play with the settings on it to see if I can get some better pics. Going to be uploading videos soon guys. Have about 18 to upload and with a dialup, it's gonna be awhile. :lol: Not the best quality but I think they aren't that bad.

07-30-2003, 06:43 PM
Rick...so whats the deal this weekend? I dont want to come all the way out there and then it rains. Any idea on the weather? :( I checked weather.com and they say its gonna rain. :mad: I'll be praying for sunny weather...heck even just cloudy would be good. :thumbsup:

BlueIceMaxx.......didn't get to see any weather today but what I saw yesterday at noon wasn't good. :( I'll be watching it tomorrow and see what happens. It's probably going to be one of those weekends that it's hit or miss. You might want to give us a call before coming down or check here and our website to see if we'll be running. If we decide to cancel I try to post it on the website.

Movies!

Check them out guys. Let me know if they are all working all right because I didn't download them all to make sure things were right since I had just uploaded them all. :lol: Once again, not the best of quality but not bad if you ask me. :thumbsup:

BlueIceMaxx
07-30-2003, 11:44 PM

07-31-2003, 01:53 PM
Thanks for the confirmation on everything working good guys. BTW, that orange jeep is savage21 so you see what you'll have to contend with in the Nitro Maxx class. :tongue:

Weather at noon says chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday. :mad: Have to play it by ear I guess...........

07-31-2003, 05:03 PM

Knoxville
08-01-2003, 12:07 AM

Savage21
08-01-2003, 06:21 AM
You go to web site for the track, and along the bottom you will see links to different parts. Click on the picture page link. And at the bottom of that page is where to find the link to the movies.

Thank-you Savage . The movies were great . Andy will be excited to see them when he gets home. I hope the weather man is wrong about the weather for Sunday.

OvalmanPA
08-01-2003, 01:22 PM
EvaderAndy........geez Mom, the kid gotta show ya everything? :jest: Glad you liked the movies! :thumbsup:

Joy......what happened to that theory last Sunday? :tongue: I do hope your right though!

BlueIceMaxx
08-01-2003, 07:59 PM
Hey Ovalman...where are the pits for the offroad track? :confused: I wanna know so I have an idea where to go when I first get there. :tongue: That is...if the rain holds off. :cry:

Savage21
08-01-2003, 08:35 PM
He has us hiding in the barn. You can set up outside if you like, but with a chance of rain... that wouldn't be a good idea!

EvaderAndy
08-01-2003, 09:52 PM
Rick...Yes the kid has to show me everything , how else will I learn :)

EvaderAndy
08-01-2003, 10:41 PM
I'm back.

Yeah I'm the computer wiz in the house.

Knoxville
08-02-2003, 12:35 PM
Hey Ovalman are u gonna post wether or not ur gonna race sunday :)

BlueIceMaxx
08-02-2003, 12:57 PM
By the looks of things right now...I dont think i'm gonna bother making a trip out there. I'll try next week.

OvalmanPA
08-02-2003, 02:04 PM
Knoxville......gotta wait till morning and see what shakes out. I'll try and post if we AREN'T going to be racing to let everybody know. So in other words if we are racing you won't see any posts. :)

BlueIceMaxx......like savage21 said, you'll want to go to the barns as that is where most people pit. Beware the feathered pooping machines however as they seem to situate themselves directly over pit tables! :lol:

EvaderAndy.........haha............you said wiz! :lol:

BlueIceMaxx
08-02-2003, 02:37 PM
What time are you gonna post it? Like 8 or what? Cause I plan on leaving for the track around 8:30 or quarter till.

EvaderAndy
08-02-2003, 03:22 PM
Rick.... as you can see Andy's not the speller in the house

OvalmanPA
08-02-2003, 04:26 PM
BlueIceMaxx......just for future reference I won't post whether we won't be racing or not until around 9:00 Sunday mornings. For this week though, I'm posting it now. We just had a pretty good storm roll through here and the track is SOAKED so in this even.......

OFF ROAD RACING IS CANCELLED THIS WEEK

It seems as if there is more to come tomorrow so I hope they're right. With my luck however the sun will just be a shining....... :rolleyes:

BlueIceMaxx
08-02-2003, 04:29 PM
Wow you posted the same time as me. Well thats good but bad. i mean its bad its cancelled but now I have a week for my mom to change her mind and for my new parts to come in. :devil:

BlueIceMaxx
08-02-2003, 05:26 PM
OMG I just told my mom that it was cancelled and she was like "YAHOO!" Somebody...please...HELP MEEEEEEEE! :jest:

Knoxville
08-02-2003, 07:29 PM
Well by the looks of it it might be nice tommorrow but i doubt it the sun is shining right now i guess its gonna be worse tommorrow than it was today!!?? It did not even rain at my house but i guess smethport go hammered oh well have to try again next week :(

Savage21
08-02-2003, 08:41 PM
So Rick, there is no chance of running tommorw? Not even if the rain misses us?

Sorry buddy, once we've cancelled...........we're cancelled. :( Watched a little of the weather channel (damn elevator music!!!) and by the looks of the map there is more "green" moving our way for tomorrow. I almost hope it does now that I've cancelled. :rolleyes:

OvalmanPA
08-03-2003, 11:13 AM
And the wait for rain continues....... :rolleyes:

Don't think most people would have wanted to put their cars through a couple of the turns though anyway. :D

OvalmanPA
08-03-2003, 03:50 PM
Don't have to wait anymore.....

Rain started here about the time the heats would be starting so I'm glad now that I cancelled. :thumbsup: A thunderstorm is just getting underway now so it's off the computer I get! See everyone next weekend and pray for no rain! :thumbsup:

Savage21
08-03-2003, 09:53 PM
Well I placed my order for my new savage today! It should be here in a week or two I hope. It's the savage SS kit. It's a little bit of a torque monster. I hope that I can keep the front wheels down and on the track! Here is a video from HPI: Video (http://www.radiocontrol.gr/video_hpi_savage_020803.htm) (It's 4 mb. Sorry about the size.)
I should be able to clear the barn with this one!

BlueIceMaxx
08-04-2003, 07:46 PM
Aw man! Your gettin the savage SS! AHHHH! Now this is gettin outta hand. :eek: That new .25 engine is puttin out some serious torque. If you look at the engine stats on HPI's site it has more power at lower RPM's then the old .21BB. That means WHEELIE CITY! :jest: I bet that thing hauls...man...its just not fair. :cry:

Knoxville
08-05-2003, 11:33 AM
