March 31st K&N’s 18th Anniversary Race

Anniversary Race Details will be out shortly...so far I will tell you it will not be a handout race,....thus it will be affordable....
We have to have a new twist for it....being that its a new event...so I have some ideas up my sleeve...let me get some things priced out and I will post details asap!

Two months to wait for the next big show is like waiting for Mrs Clause to come to bed on Christmas night !!!! LOL

LMAO ....You kill me (in a good way)...Im glad youre back...weve missed you!

What are you saying - we should have a monthly event (big event that is?) LOL

I see you have a race on March 30th, I quess we won't be seeing you at the Arcor race......We told you it was the first week of April, we where a little off it is March 30-April 1st, I had a Great time at the WinterBlast And am looking foward to coming next year.....

We wouldve loved tomake the event but yes we had this planned prior to knowing! We will be out there soon enough (promise that!)

I think we need to do something a little different for this event but Im not sure what yet...hmmm...

Any suggestions?

How bout a "big" race on a Saturday night in Febuary to kind of fill the void? Just an idea.

I think we need to do something a little different for this event but Im not sure what yet...hmmm...

Any suggestions?
For starters lets get that magazine article written that I was talking about. Then how about a webcam feed. Maybe get the local chamber of commerce to do something since you're a small business that has survived for 18 years. Ask Mark Arrute if he wants to sponsor a race to bring the real SK guys in to run a exhibition RC race. If you do that some of the local business' might throw something into the kitty. Talk to the local radio stations too. They often do live remotes from business'. Some do it for a stipend and some charge a lot more. Have some good food BBQ. Advertise as a chicken BBQ so that it is more than just a race. I know a good cover band that could play downstairs for the after-party later on. Have raffle we could raffle some cars and parts and/or have an RC swap meet etc. Have a "Hot Lap" qualifying contest, pay a small fee (like $3.00) for a turn at it, you get to run 3 hot laps, and the fastest guy gets 75% of the cash. No limit to how many times you go out there to try. Have 2 classes 19T and stock.
Obviously this is just an "off the top of my head throw out some ideas type of think out of the box suggestions"
It's probablly more than $0.02 worth, more like $0.25 :-)

Rick,


Sonuds like alot of good ideas........ Let's get it done...

Iternet access at the track would be a great thing... That would make a Webcam feed very easy...

First....we have the 1st of the month Sat night racing - if anyone is in??

But I also thought it might be a nice change to have a race for all the SK's just to see whats out - and whats really great - with all this "hype" about the new cars...I dont know just a thought. It doesnt have to be a big deal; just a $15 race....

We can def pull together a race in Feb...just wont have alot of the freebies like the past ones...but hey - it can be done....any dates in mind?

feb=snowbirds,,, do it like a week or 2 after birds if your gonna do that.

Oh my god...LOL

keep this up top. Danielle is visiting our hobbyshops suppliers, lets keep the post on top while she's looking for those deals for us.

C'mon guys where is everybody? Anyone that has a 18th scale bring it to the track sunday. I'm trying to get a few together to run a race and see if we can start something new and FUN......

Thanks good looking out Mike! Well with the problems weve had here, I dont know if we will get to see any of them! First I get here and my gram is in ICU (she's REALLY not doing well) then my mom flew in (she lives in the Bahamas but came here to see us) and now she is facing heart surger THIS WEEK (we have a heart condition which you can now have surgery for.....) on top of that ...Ive been sick the ENTIRE time, Jack too (and Julia got sick last night and has had a temp of 103-104...with all sorts of cold problems and even vomitting last night)...so this trip has been a NIGHTMARE, sadly. I may be sending Chad home with Jack alone tomorrow... and I may stay with Julia to help the family and be by the ones who need me...
ughhhhh!
I hope you all are doing much better than me!

Lots of good ideas here... What about an all out "insane speed run" 2 classes, pan car and s/k. Rules could be something like this:
S/K class must run s/k chassis and body.
Pan car must run pan chassis and nascar body.
Something like what they do at the velodromes. I think it could be incorperated into a regular racing program. Maybe as a filler between the heats??

So Mad Squirrel Disease even followed you to Tennessee...that stinks. You need anything on this end, let us know! We're here for ya! I dealt with the heart problems last year with my Dad so I'm feeling for you... HANG IN THERE!

getting to close to page 2. I hope everyone is feeling better.......

Good AM peeps....look who's back in CT....(for now)....Chad and I made the plan to come back and I will leave if i need to (with Julia....ahhh what a nice break! LOL)

Welcome back. Lets get this party started. Who's racing this sunday at K&N? I'm in for 1/10 stock. SK, if build myself another one, (sold mine).

I think it's time for some 19 Turn SK action on Sunday. Who's in??????

hmmmmm I'd better get wrenching...

Hey everyone...Chad isnt feeling well (head pressure from flying) I dont think any of you planned to be at the track tonight (as we werent sure if it would be open)....as of right now I DONT THINK HE WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN TONIGHT......

Please call us if you intend to go; just to make sure we can actually make it. Im only saying this because I know many said they were not going (therefore....if no one intends to go....better for Chads beauty sleep...lol).

let me know!

Nothing will change for this weekend however, open Fri/Sat & Sun (Racing on SUnday - or anyday requested!)...

thanks for the understanding guys!

There is not time for cookies at the track if you want to be fast your going to have to work on your car. the cookie crums will only make you slower.

How could anyone tell what number you drive ....Do you plan to leave the BODY ON THIS TIME??!?!?!


(LOL - Just teasing...ya set yourself up for that one! LOL)

Okay so Chad and I were thinking......although we really want to kick of this years anniversary race with a BANG......we are faced with a situation...

WE REALLY WANT TO GO TO O-H-I-O's 2007 ARCOR Carpet Open - Classic Hobbies!!!!!!

We thought about taking Team K&N - as a whole...... or moving the anniversary date; or even just got us all out of there early so we can go....either way.....we need to know what you all think.

You all know I am the LAST person to want to change a date; but the ARCOR date was announced recently - after our dates and that is one event we would like to attend......and I know MANNNNNNY others who plan to attend as well; which would change our attendance numbers as well.

SO do we organize a ROAD TRIP with Team K&N?????????

Do we keep the date???

Talk to me!

This race is ALSO going to be a NEOT event, OHIO is a bit out of scope for most. with that being said, I am sure attendance will be up...
Is that a big enough BANG :thumbsup:

Nick...check PM ....

Mike, to follow up your call and this message.....I have detailed answers.

FIRST: Track records are ONLY awarded when there are AT LEAST 4 racers.....in response to your question on the phone - I believe only 3 were present at the 19T race you were questioning (in which a NON fixed timing was used) if I am wrong...let me know.

Next, The house rule is 19T FIXED timing, such as the KAMODO. Meaning you can RUN whatever you want - for fun, but if you want your race to count, come with a FIXED timing!

Lastly, K&N will be open at 5pm tomorrow, 12noon Saturday (and we can race Sat night if you want) and at 9am on Sunday....

See ya then pumpkin! LOL

Are you going with ken to Maine on Sunday or you going to K/N? It looks like Howard and Creig are coming as well.
