Just a goofy thought:jest::woohoo::jest::dude:

Dosn't anybody wanna get dressed up.

5 weeks till the Annual Cosmic Race. There are some pictures from last year posted on russellrc.com. Don't forget the 500 lap enduro race also. There may even be enough cars for the 500 lapper that we will run 2 qualifiers before the big one. Hope to see you there!

Leisure suit RC Racing? That could be a blast... :thumbsup:

Lime Green White Shoes And Big Belt Buckle

Gotta have a furry hat, too... Some pimpin shades... Yeah.....

All kidding aside, this is one fun race. Probably won't come back with a black car this time, maybe something a little louder!

The enduro's a lot of fun, too... Just remember to keep your radio batteries charged.... :rolleyes:

Four weeks from Sat. If you want to do some absolutly fun racing, this is the place to be! Sept 20th. Pete Russell's Hobby Shop, Elkhart In. If you need directions let me know.

Double the fun with the cosmic race under the lights that evening and the 500 lap enduro relay race early in the afternoon. I still think there is room for a few more teams. Travis should have the enduro team list on here soon.

I think Travis & Nick, Doug W and Randy C, Ken & Todd who else? Weather man & ?, Millerman and ?, team Lanway maybe? Pete needs to run with us anybody got an extra pan car?

I've got a pan car for Pete, should he want it...

sounds like a fun race!!.. i should be able to make it! anybody look'n for an enduro partner?

I'm in for this race's gotta couple new K.S.G. cars to break in. I'm lookin for a partner also.

sounds like a fun race!!.. i should be able to make it! anybody look'n for an enduro partner?

Bring Zubie with ya... He can pick ya up on the way... :thumbsup:

i'll talk to him! he'd prolly be in!

If not all do it with the legend himself.. Big Franky Ulbrik

Frank will have to put a magnet under the trigger! LOL

If anyone has an extra 13.5 I could use for the enduro I'll get team Lanway entered.

I think I have an extra, Derek...

If you need one Derek I have a couple extra you can use. This is shaping up to be to be pretty cool. If we get more than 7 teams entered for the enduro we will run a couple of 250 lap qualifiers then advance the top teams to a 500 lapper.

Less than 3 weeks til the cosmic race/open house/enduro race. This is always a blast. See you there!:thumbsup:

Bonus for dressing in 70's disco wear?

Absolutly!!!! Any one one dressing in a 70's outfit gets 1000 bonus points! will figure out what the points are for later!

I'm getting ready holpfully the Gen 3 will be ready.

Less than two weeks away! Come join the most fun you will have all year driving an R/C Car!!!!:thumbsup:

Let's bring this one to the top... Lotta fun at this race!

Todd you bringing your kid out to this one?

What are the rules? Normal rules or is it going to be run what you brung all in one class?

Normal rules for this one. Unless you can get 3 or more that will run an open class.

To all of those who have not seen our cosmic race this is the most unique way to race RC cars. We will have plenty of light and sound to light up the track to see what is going on. The lighting will be in motion or changing in direction etc. If you are not sure then come out and watch. It is a blast!!!

Travis- dunno... Guessing "not", but we'll see... Maybe I'll take him off his Halo duties of defending the free world, and make him pit for me...

One week away!! Lets get a car count who's in? I'l be running 13.5 pan and 10.5 sprint.

13.5 and 10.5 sprint (maybe)... May have another guest driver in another 13.5...

I'll be there for 13.5 sprint and 10.5 sprint should be fun .................

13.5 for me, Maybe Sprint & Indy If i'm not going crazy!!!

Less than 5 days!! :woohoo:

I'M in for the turtle class.

This will definitely be the ONLY place to be this Saturday night!

Too bad others had to spoil the tradition. Light show is set and Travis was a BIG help tonight. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought the motto was "Build it they will come!!" Come out and enjoy the lights and music. I am looking forward to the all day activities. Enduro at 2pm. 500 laps should be a blast. About 28 minutes to run the event!!!! The feature event will be the COSMIC RACE!!! 8pm. Over 24 lighting effects and 3000 watts of sound!!!
