Seems Sam and me are sharing magnets, we keep attraching each other. (REVERSE POLARITY!)

At the horn I took the lead, Brad hot on my tail, traction rolled about lap three in turn 3-4, got restarted and then is when things get fuzzy!

I know I got pointed wrong way in 3-4 and the marshall didn't turn me around. I didn't have enough steering to make a hard right with all the traffic (well I could of!) so I slammed the car into the wall in front of the marshall and John finally got me pointed in the right direction.

After that it was a free for all. I was several laps down as was Sam. Seem our nerves (MAGNETS) just kept clicking and we tangled. Bullit had two laps on the field by then, dodging the mayhem, be it skill or luck, he made it thru. Late in the race I had to hit the brakes to NOT runover Brad who I knew was many laps ahead of me, ended up putting someone (Tom Collet?) into turn four wall/ice. Sorry but I knew Brad was way ahead of me and I was about to take him out.


THAT SAID......why wasn't it 7 in a B main with two bumpups making it 8 in the A Main?

I know, it was a test. I understand MAJOR events have 8-10 cars in each heat, 13 is an odd number. No major damage to the cars, I suffered a broken body post in a tangle with Sam, but thats it.


13 car ROC Field, wish the car count was like this every weekend.

1-- I think Bullit had a lot of skill to outlast everyone!

2-- you arent use to racin that many cars as much as you were use to.

3-- it increases your skill level to race with that many!

4-- it was fun to watch you get put into the wall...lol

I suffered a major dent in the hood of my car! I need body work!!! Where's Tony!!!

We had fun last night, thanks to everyone who participated.

Here is the un-official points standing with two throw outs applied

Great racing everybody! My little toyota body gave me all of the turning i needed to dodge everything in sight:D. I dont know if it was skill or luck but we need a big number of racers like that every weekend!:)

YIKES! 56 points out of first! that sucks!!!

Eric L

Thor, get your car set up....come out and race dude!

Eric L

Remember, practice makes perfect....Just ask Bullit

YIKES! 56 points out of first! that sucks!!!


Eric L

Eric,

You are taking this too serious, we are just racing toy cars for fun (I think). That's one of the problems with a points series. You tend to race the top number on the spreadsheet instead of racing each week for the fun and enjoyment.

I want to thank everyone, last night was a lot of fun. The main was a little messy, but hey, this is a ROC class. Even the pro's get a little messy, like someone pulling a fast one on the start and being put into the wall on the next turn, THAT WAS SLICK!

Sam

Okay Fellers, Here its the standings so far with three throw outs.:woohoo:

ERIC L

ok here we go....how about a toys for tots race on Say....oh...i dont know...maybe....Dec 20th? The ending of the POints race.

That should give us 5 weeks to promote it huh?



EricL

Racers can bring toys for a discounted race fee.. or two toys for a discounted race fee and a free second class to race...

We should run our normal classes
10.5
17.5
R.O.C
legends
Sliders

and then we can have a run what ya brung type of class.. with sedans trucks or any other kind of vehicle that is safe to be ran on the carpet.. (no buggies* Exposed shock towers may put a hole in the carpet) just make sure the cars are clean and have no jagged edges.. if was can get this a go id also like to get a local new company involved with the event and plug it on the news.. or something ( ive seen a new plug spot on youtube for a rc track) i can get a digital flyer made up and pass it around on the forums lets see how packed we can get the pits. and even a spectators area would be nice to see also with a few people in it.......

here's the link to the youtube video

don't forget a wrench as well for the car :)

more info to come tomorrow night on the Toys-4-tots Race.... as ill be running some ideas by John tomorrow evening. shortly after that we should have a digital flyer up and being spread around like butter on bread.

You know the shop is closed on Tuesday right?

You know the shop is closed on Tuesday right?



i was informed by Eric that he was informed by Dalton that the shop was open 7 days a week now
So as of now this is speculation.. only time will tell

You know the shop is closed on Tuesday right?

according to dalton its suppose to be open tomorrow

Its Official the Toy-for-tot's race is a GO one question for you (everyone) which date would be best for the race to be held on. December 13th or December 20th?????? With being 5 days away from Christmas i think some of the racers may have travel plans. And not enough time to race. So ill be the first to say im voting for December 13th.

Also as of Today i have some sponsors on board with us for this race. one right now being Proline/protoform.. and BSR racing tires of course threw out the week i will be working on getting more sponsorships, So we can have Raffles and prizes for finishing first in the A-main.

Also Remember this is all for a good cause.. I mean with the Economy in the shape its in some kids wont be able to have the Christmas they want to have and by us doing this race we can help those kids.

This is a note directly from the toy-for-tots Cincinnati Branch

Acceptable Toys to Donate
The Marines will accept any new, unwrapped toy that is appropriate for children up to age 13. The toy must be new with a minimum $10 retail value, in its original packaging and not wrapped or decorated.

Toys Not Acceptable for the Toys for Tots Program
The Marines will not accept used or second-hand toys or toys that have been removed from their original packaging. Similarly, plush or stuffed dolls (i.e. Beanie Babies) that are not sold in a box or carton cannot be distributed.

Toys are transferred to many locations and handled by any number of people before they reach a childs’ hands. Plush toys can get worn or dirty in this handling if they are not protected and the Marines do not want to give a child a dirty toy that may looked used. Toys received that are unacceptable to Toys for Tots will be discarded or donated to other social service organizations, depending on the toys’ condition

hmmm.... December 20th would be the ending of the ROC Points race...DOUBLE POINTS RACE TOO!

However, Due to Holiday Travels maybe the 13th could be a good date as well

dang I'm undecided....Amy says the 13th...gave me a good reason...

I'm gonna say the 13th too....

Eric L

I think Kid Kahuna needs to bring a few of his racin' bud's down and race with us...what do you think?

I could hire a "blocker" driver to keep EricL stuff under the rail :)






Wait, Eric doesn't need any help :)

I could higher someone to hack people or put em into the wall's...OH wait....we got Chip!

lol

I would like to see the last race held on Jan 10, 2009.
Due to the end of year rush at work and family gatherings, I'm not to sure about the 13th or 20th.
-Brad

Put me down for the 13th or the 20th, I'll be there both times. I kind of like the idea of having the last race on Jan 10. It would give me more time to tweek some more speed out of my car.

Sam

I think Kid Kahuna needs to bring a few of his racin' bud's down and race with us...what do you think?

as for postponing the ending date... um...hmmm.

need 100 signatures (ok 10 signatures....ok, ok....no signatures required) and it needs to be ok by the majority...namely, the ones involved in the series...plus the track owner.


I for one am ok with it...namely, because... there is no way for me to overcome the defecit i have set before me.


Eric L

p.s. you are just prolonging the inevitable.:o

We race oval and on-road with the legend.. Oval Racing is on Saturdays Sign ups open at 4pm racing starts at 5. On-road races Sundays and Wednesday.. We have quite a few people with legends and when ever anyone shows up that wants to race them were always willing. just let us know ahead of time so we can prep them

right now it is small, alot haven't returned. Lately the ROC guys have been running it just as a second class.

......


uh... dude...2.06.00 is what was on the scale...or do you want it in grams
1 077.281 88


seesch!

yes, the scale used at our track we race at reads lbs/ounces, but someone coming in from out of town might decide to strip the car down thinking they only need to be 2.06 lbs, then have to add ALOT of weight back on once they are found to be illegal and have a qualifier OR WIN tossed out.

hey Jim,

if you come....u gonna bring some Mini z's with ya?

I'll bring the X-Mod that took 10th in St. Louis and Nineth at Atlanta!!
David Juan, Tamiya took the $130,000.00 NSK home with him!!
