Due to the lack of track on the west side of the state John O. has build a track on his property. He had 50 yards of clay brought in and rented a tractor. Drain tile is down, drivers stand up. In the process of building a ramp and installing lights. A few of us - John, Don, Brent, Marty, myself (Jason) and others have been running there on Thursday nights. (like 5ish until dark) The track is 70'x90' with 8' wide lanes. What we have right now is just the start. The sky is the limit. Such as but not limited to bigger track, amb, huge drivers stand, trophy girls and such. We are going to continue to make everything bigger and better. Any suggestion, materials and help would be appreciated! Think baby steps.

A few of us will be there on August 7th (Tuesday) 6ish until dark.

We are planning the next practice/bash/rip fest on Aug 16th (5ish).
The track is located near/close to john's house, so please do not come out any other days in order to respect his privacy. Only fun, friendly, non complainers welcome.

The address: 5625 Dunn Ne, Grattan Twnshp

If possible, let's try to communicate practice/bash/rip fest times and questions on this forum. Otherwise, you can contact John at 616-560-5423 or Jason at 616-283-0947.

My buggy is sitting on the bench with a motor still wrapped in 2 day air shipping Garb from Italy.2 day + 2 day shipping = More than I paid for the motor! They must like giving away motors.

cool, Even if you have nothing to run,could still stop by. Alot of times it seems if I do not bring my buggy, I just end up helping someone else tune theres and also getting some wheel time with there buggy and marshalling.
Anyways get that buggy together.Johnys track is huge fun.

what tires do you guys run out there or dosent it matter.

larry

what tires do you guys run out there or dosent it matter.

larry

Old crimefighter or such. Any tire would work. We have just been using worn tires though. Saving the newer 1s for racing.John just left he said he is going to spray roundup were there is grass. I personally could careless if there is grass,but whatever. see ya tommarow.

Last night we ran a little shootout. Best 2 out 3 (2) laps. Round 1 me vs larry,I won. Then it was don vs john.winner john. Battle of the losers went to don. .final was John and I. I was the big winner. We ran off and on till 10. If anyone wants to try to be the big winner next week,bring it. If u think your real fast we can also race for cash.

Well, I'm back from California. We had a great time, lots to see and do. Had a meeting with Kendall (CEO), and JT (Marketing) from www.Amainhobbies.com (http://www.Amainhobbies.com) about distribution of my tools. They really liked them and we are setting up a business plan. Right now I'm sending my tools out to have my logo and sizes laser etched on them, then I have to send them back out to Amain so they can get them into there system as well as the magazines. I'm also get Replacement tips in that have 1/4" drives for thoughs that use power drivers. My product line is growing as we speak. I'm going to start machining for 1000 tools in Sept.

Hoping to stop out to the Training Grounds tonight.

Wow this is about 2 Mins away from my house, I live on Tiffany.
Anybody running again between now and thursday?
Ive got an LST thats sorta setup to race, an old thunder tiger 1/8th scale buggy thats not put together all the way, and an out of control mini-t, plus a few other things. What do you normally run?

1/8th scale and what ever we can get our hands on

larry

Anybody going to be there tomorrow?

Anybody going to be there tomorrow?

Yes, Prob show up around 6-7ish
John and I for sure
maybe larry,don,marty,brent and others.

So I heard that somebody else was bringing an LST today---Sounds great, lets see it. I got some gas that actually works today-err yesterday!!

Well, I when to the Ihobby Expo in Chicago on Sat., there is some pretty cool stuff there. Met with quite a few factory guys as well as spoke with Jim Hottinger of Fusion Motorsports (Nova Rossi importer), Chronic Team talk to me about this one, we are hooked up. The B44 looks like it should do the trick. Tons of stuff was there.

My b44 should be in nov or later. I am prob going to get a 5.5 gtb and lipo saddle pack. I noticed that 1 version of the gtb is spred spectum? I,m not sure if my radio m8 with spectrum module is that or if its is for the new faster spectrum that came out last year that is compatable. (nova) I would Have to get the most radical thing they got.P5/p5x power even with some mods was not enought this racing season. Next time I would get there top of the line engine if I could get really good deal.
