Spoiler 12-02-2007, 11:28 PM Offroad is awesome...thanks Tony for all the time and effort in building the jumps...hope everyone got home safe see ya all next week.........
fisherracing 12-03-2007, 04:48 PM Should I make the lexan jumps lower?
mr_meat68 12-03-2007, 04:58 PM lower? no way man.... HIGHER lol. i like how you made them adjustable.
i think the straight away is a little too long before hitting the jump. maybe make some kind of obstacle to break up the distance so you can get on the gas to go over the jump without over shooting the landing ramp. most of them were landing on the ozite.
just a thought.

Mike OBrien 12-09-2007, 04:34 PM 35 bucks for gas
25 bucks for baby sitter
3 hrs of my time priceless
Mike OBrien 12-09-2007, 05:55 PM you think i could clame that on my taxes as a loss ???
H.D.RACING 12-09-2007, 06:27 PM Looks like Brad believed the weatherman and everybody knows they are hardly ever right. Besides it only called for 30% chance of freezing drizzle, which ends up being 70% chance of nothing and that's what we got today.
At least Doug P. and I had a nice chat this morning wondering where everybody was at 8:45 am. Try again next week.
At least with all the cancellations this year it saved me a set of tires.
Frank Mertz 12-09-2007, 07:25 PM It started raining at my place at 4:30 and it was 32 degrees. I know it can be up to 5 degees colder in McAdoo so maybe it was the right call. It was posted last night on here about a possible cancelation because of weather. I know not everyone checks here before leaving. Maybe we need to have a list of phone numbers to contact when a cancelation. It wouldn't be a bad idea....
Spoiler 12-09-2007, 07:37 PM I apologize to everyone that didn't get the word...I did call as many people as possible..feel free to call my house at anytime regarding racing..and the weather..I did it looking out for your own safety...it is ice hear and I know there would have been an accident...once again sorry for the inconvience...my house number is 5709291132...

Frank, that would be a great idea! I was going to come up, but decided at last minute to check the web.
