when is the first race?

does this mean you'll show up or do you need time to come up with an excuse hehehehehe. just kidding hope to see more of you this yr.

when is the first race?

He is trying to get all his stuff priced.

2nd place car to Mel ??? $72.50
Batteries - $50.00
Charger - $ 25.00
Radio $121.32
Total $118.82

Race idea's
1 Endoro just like last year 2,000 laps
2 Endoro per class 200 laps
3 Michigan state short track championship
4 Thropy race
5 Spec class = spec tires and any thing else goes. Main reason, keep the cost down
6 Losi late models and Losi sprint's. This needs to be pushed very hard. A & B heats all of us need to push new people into this.
7 21.5/lipo open and 13.5/4 cell all together to start with.

Racknor Who?

i'm in for the late models and the sprints. anyone looking for a deal on a sprint i have one ready to go for 120.

what are you going to use for tires with the losi mini late model?
do they make foams for it or will you guys use the kit tires(yeah right).
I just checked them out on losi's web site, they look pretty darn cool.
Hope you all are having a good summer, Joel

Stock tires worked very good on the sprinters.

Oh I think I will make some time to race with my buds this year! I think The big car is ending withi the next month or so.

Tires HMMMMMMMM I know for the Mini Coopers we had to go to the Belted Rad tires to stop the roll over I have been having that problem with the Late model it's something we'll have to look into..

How about a Michigan Oval Championship with races at:

Mt Pleasant
Bay City
St Ignace
Grand Rapids (Are they still racing on carpet?)
Kalamazoo/Portage (Would they be interested in an oval race?)

Lets get this season going! I am ready to Race!

Don D

That is another good idea. I will see the guys from Grand rapids this Saturday. I will ask them.

There should not be any problem with the sliders flipping over. I know all the tracks around here that run them do not really allow any hopups at all. Some said OK to the aftermarket shocks. That is about it.

we've had a problem from the start that as soon as you turn in they flip unless we put a thin line of electrical tape on the outer edge of the tire.

Opinion survey - Keith showed up at Grand Blanc once and ran 1 heat of road course, then left. Should I:

A) Keep picking on him until he runs an entire race day.
B) He tried it, so stop bugging him.
C) Keep messing with him just as a general principle.

i vote for c

a&c he likes the attention.

I agree with Al....A & C

RC

The reason I didn't run all day is because I felt bad for Kevin's car I was using. I was planning on spending the entire day out there tomorrow but they added a dirt oval race for tomorrow. Road course??????Dirt oval??????? Your car will live for another week.

Hey Sonny B has posted the class makeup for the BRL this season - hope this can make our classes easier to figure out......MK

Boy this season should be great!!!!! No more buying the battery of the month.

my toolbox will also be 50 lb lighter :woohoo:

Any idea when the first race is going to be? After Sept 20th would be great for me.

RC

Sept 19th sounds good to me.

Race idea's
1 Endoro just like last year 2,000 laps -- I like this idea.
2 Endoro per class 200 laps -- How about a 200 Lap race, instead of a 5 minute race. A LiPo battery will probably go 200 laps.
3 Michigan state short track championship -- At least between MP and BC.
4 Thropy race -- Or maybe Plack's.:hat:
5 Spec class = spec tires and any thing else goes. Main reason, keep the cost down -- 3.5's, TOJ bodies, 11.1 volt LiPo? Just kiddin'.
6 Losi late models and Losi sprint's. This needs to be pushed very hard. A & B heats all of us need to push new people into this. -- I'm in on this one, and I will be bringing some new blood in with this class. BOX STOCK LATE MODELS!!!!!!
7 21.5/lipo open and 13.5/4 cell all together to start with.



Let's Race!!!!

Sept 19th sounds good to me.

You have to be difficult...don't you. :)

RC

Ray I need one race before Mr dialed shows up.

Scott good ideas. I will add them to the list.

I agree with Al....A & C

RC
Somehow I just KNEW that "C" would win....

And I felt bad every time I hit something with Kevin's car.

Another subject: I had this person call me yesterday and was crying about I want to go racing on carpet!!!! So as we talked I ask him when he would like to start? Boy that was the wrong thing to ask! It went something close to this: This weekend I can't, next weekend I will be gone, the following weekend I must stay home, the weekend after that I have company, the next weekend I need to mow the grass, then the following I should go to work and do something, the one after that the dogs need to be taken to the vet, then I need to wash the cars, well at this point I figured we where at sometime in December so I told him we will save him a pit space. I do not want to mention any names because some of you are rudd and might give this person that works at CMU and it is not Rob a hard time! I sure hope this does not make Ray C. mad.

and all this time i thought you were talking about ray m. hehehehe

Hey Keith we can race anytime after all of the above is done ... or should we start without him...

Hey now come on al! I can race tommorow! Give me a time I will be there!


Ray :dude:

oops, i think i ruffled some feathers there. sorry but i couldn't resist.

You forgot mention the weekend I have an appointment to get my hair done.

As hard as it will be for me, I will try to squeeze all of the above into the next few weekends, but I still don't think I can make it till after the 20th of Sept.

Keith maybe I was telling you all the above dates so that I didn't have to teach you how to fly until December and then figured you'd not do it because it's so cold out...you know how you like to whine. :)

RC

Ray M. Ray C. ???????????? As far as flying Ray can we use one of your planes?

Keith maybe I was telling you all the above dates so that I didn't have to teach you how to fly until December and then figured you'd not do it because it's so cold out...you know how you like to whine. :)

Yeah, when is Keith going to start flying? I'm getting tired of looking at the broom stuck into the ground upside down out at Ray's flying field with a nametag that says "I'm Keith, and I can't fly." It keeps attracting pigeons, and they are making a mess of the broom. ;)

I am to busy building cars for dirt oval.

Too busy? You mean you haven't built your dirt oval cars yet? Come on Keith, that season is almost over!

no rob it called rebuilding because he keeps getting his butt handed to him every time he races out there and before keith can come after me yes i'm to scared to come over there and get the same thing. i also don't want my baby to get dirty either. hehehehe

No I am rebuilding and building cars for others this week. Come on Al get out there. I will wash your car off after the races. Just tie a string on it and throw it in the pond and let it soak.

Hi all
Well 1/12 scale was a flop last year so I am looking at getting back into the oval raceing. Does anyone have a car for sale that would get me back into the game with not a lot of work needed? Let me know and hope to see ya all this fall!
Big Jim

Ray M. stuff should be for sale about two weeks after the season starts. When the old bus driver kicks his you know what.

I am sure Jim H. has several cars for sale.

uncalled for.

Its all fun and games till someones tires get chunked


Ray

Al looks like I ruffled some today.

I do have a couple 13.5 motors for sale though...

Are you going to run 21.5 lipo?

I read that the SMC 3200 lipo is better than the Orion 3200. Somebody fill us in. I don't want to be out batteryed by Keith or A-Ray. If A-Ray does come and race with us please don't chunk one of his tires. He will be in the pits wah wahing.
