Had an awesome time hanging out with the stadium guys tonight. Quite a large turnout for the holiday weekend. Thanks to Mr. Clean for selling me the extra MF2 transmission. Now I just have to find the box the tires are stored away in and there will be another added to the list for a stadium regular.

I'm glad everone had a great time. I ask Andy to set in for me because I knew he has what it takes to run a great program. Thanks again.

Thanks to all our regular truck racers that made it out tonight. It's always a good time. How about the new lane divider system? The layout seems to be alot faster with alot less carnage.

Liked it alot !

Fred, thanks for another fun night of racing! :thumbsup: The new lane divider system is great! It is amazing how the white lines and flat corner sheets really trick your eyes into thinking that there are still plastic dividers there. It seemed to require fewer marshaling episodes each race and Kendall didn't seem to brake as many parts as usual. LOL :tongue:

Greg

Fred, I sent you a PM.

dave

Back at ya Dave.

Which days do you guys run onroad? hows the 1/12th turnouts been?

Frank,
We race on-road on Saturday's, doors open a 9:00am racing at 12:00
This season seems to be mostly 1/12 and VTA. 1/12 being the larger group.

Fred, the wife and I were in Rogers Plaza on Sunday and she wanted to take a peek at the track so we stopped to have a look. Standing there I noticed that you do not have a sheet posted listing times the track is open or what kinds of racing goes on there. As a suggestion have you thought about posting track information or possibly some digital pictures printed to display all the fun times that go on at the track? Just an idea..........


Anyway, It doesn't look like I will be racing Sat night as I have a X-Mas party to attend that evening, but I plan on being back next week racing! :thumbsup:

Greg

Good thought Greg,
I'll type a schedule out while I'm at the track and post it in a window.

Just wanted to throw out some get well wishes for scrmngchkn (Paulie Padilla). He had an auto accident, hitting a tree last night. He says his leg took the worst of it, he will be in the hospital for about a week. Visitors are welcome.

Hey Fred, any updates on Paul (scrmngchkn) since the accident? I hope he is doing well.:)

Also, who ruled the track last Sat. night in the 13.5 truck rubber tire class?

Greg

Taz and Kendall were going at it for the first 3 minutes, then Kendall had a parts failure.
Tom T. was having problems with a bad camshaft and fell back a few spots.

I'm thinking the finishing order was

Taz
Todd
Tom
Kendall
??

It wouldn't be a night of stadium racing w/o Kendall having a parts problem! :tongue:

Thanks for the rundown John, ................ but that was the Foam tire class. :p Any info on the Rubber tire racers? :thumbsup:

Uhhhh..... Sorry, I watched it but that's about all. (I was yacking, as usual!)

Wishing you a quick recovery Paulie! As soon as you can, drag your gimp ass down to the track and we will do the rest. Take care brother. :thumbsup:

You had me scared Fred, I thought I posted in your forum by mistake but then I saw you posted it. :thumbsup:

By the way, he says it will be up to 3 months before he can return and do any RC racing again.

Revo, when I read that in your forum I thought I should post that information as well. Paul is well known in RC circles.

Mark your calendars,
March 11,12 and 13 Roger Plaza will be loaded with all types of race cars.
50 cars in all from hot rods to sprinters to late models stretched from one end of the mall to the other end.

This will make a great opportunity for us to strut our stuff and show off a little of what we are about.

I will schedule exhibition racing for that Thursday and Friday evening and a full race program for Saturday as usual.
For those that plan to attend all three days you will get a reduced fee of $20.00 You will be able to leave your gear at your pit spot if you wish, security will be well covered for this show in general

Let me know who plans to attend.

I have started posting some of the pics from last Sunday. I have a lot more to go through, with the holidays upon us please bear with me. Check them out at www.jsphotography.net. If you have any questions you can contact me at jstafford@cablespeed.com.

Thanks Jim, I posted a link in our oval thread for you as well.

Most are running a Novak 13.5 motor and lipo batteries. SMC is a good choice.
Welcome to west Michigan, looking forward to seeing you at the track.

When is this track open? I am new to this message board and can't find info like this.

Thanks

Chris

What a fun night of Stadium truck racing. We have some very talented drivers in both 13.5 foam and rubber classes.

I wish I could have been there ! Looking forward to this weekend though.

I hope to see you there Lenman! :thumbsup:

Man I thought you guys were holding out on me and had a SC class. :)
see ya

Actually they did run some SC trucks last year as I saw a video of it posted here on Hobby Talk from Bad Andy I believe. If some SC trucks show up I think Fred might let them run on Stadium Night.

Yeah, it was pretty kewl. With Fred's new borders, it should be more forgiving. Hopefully I'll have mine out there to run in a couple of weeks.

Bill.

I'll be around again this weekend, with new tie rod ends on the truck. So watch out GMan!

What a night of truck racing. Both rubber and foam 13.5 classes putting on a clinic on how to get around the track fast.:thumbsup:

Fred, I enjoyed the new track layout and new carpeting tonight. Thanks for all your hard work (Andrew too) this week putting it down. It's a great place to race!

Greg :thumbsup:

I'm gonna bring my short course truck out this weekend. Anybody else up for it?

Bill.

Fred, is my 12th scale still there?

Fred, is my 12th scale still there?

Yep, still at the track.

Just want to remind everyone that there will not be any stadium racing this Saturday.
We will be hosting the Oval Champs.

A new layout is down and we will have Stadium practice tonight.
5:00pm - 9:00pm
