just starting a new thread for the winter season on DIRT , 1st meeting was tonight and some things should be posted soon

Big D you should have been there, we voted you in as president,tech inspector and track crew...your going to be busy!

Peek, you forgot concession stand manager and full time marshall.

Many great ideas and topics discussed. Looking forward the indoor season! :thumbsup:

Lareau for track groomer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was standing room only, very pleased to see so many at the meeting. It's going to be the best season ever. I'm going to work on some new PR ideas to get some fresh new racers into the club.

I had a great idea last night on the way home...I would like to invite a r/c legend each week to run with us, guys like Mike Murphy,Pete Willis,Rich Roy,Joe Corradi,Speedy,Billy Woods and most all of the Proctor clan...this would be a cool way of getting those guys back into r/c racing. We all have enough stuff to put a couple of cars together for these "Legends of r/c"

Later!

That is a great idea Peek! A helmet ride for the retired legends...:thumbsup: Very cool idea.

It could be us someday Putnam.....lol poor bastards!

Someone gave this RC "legend" a ride last summer and now look what happened....:wave::tongue:, im in WAY too deep now....! Not a bad idea!


Oh by the way sorry I couldnt make the meeting, planned on being there but didnt get done working till 6pm and was 45 minutes away.....hopefully you guys got a lot accomplished!

Mike Murphy,Pete Willis,Rich Roy,Joe Corradi,Speedy,Billy Woods and most all of the Proctor clan...Later!

You missed Mr. Burchardt....:)

You missed Mr. Burchardt....:)


I don't know if he's out yet or If he can cross county lines.....:confused:

APB To All Club Members:

We are looking for a used electric golf cart to groom the track - (electric since there won't be any exhaust fumes, no need to buy gas, and they weigh more due to all the batteries - better for packing) New batteries a plus.

if anyone has any leads, be sure to let us know. :thumbsup:

How about a Hover round?

club now has a domain name not the zapto one .. so if you do goto the zapto and it redirects dont worry .. the new URL will be posted and the old should redirect u to the new site .. will be a few days ..

also again this winter could use some writers for the site .. its just as easy to post a writing there as it is here and lots see it that may not see this ..

so lets get them ideas up here .. we know paypal for club membership ..

also anyone again if you have computers or camcorders or web cams you like to pass to the club .. workin on inside cams this year also ..
this past summer season the track cam took off more then i tought it would .. so like to keep that goin .. just shot me a pm and let me know on computer stuff so on ..

also if we can get someone to take pix of the racers cars with the cdrc board from up at comp .. so we can get the club pictures back up there this winter would be awsome ..

The New Link to the club site .. is now up and working ...


http://www.cdrcracing.com

Putnam, I drove by and didn't see any carts, I called John Askew..his dad runs a golf cart business, he repairs them, he will try to find us one also. I can make a visit to Haney's in Mechanicville too see what they have. I also was thinking why dont we run on saturday nights during the winter?? Just seems like a logical question.....LMK

You compete with Ken's track on Saturday nights.

Ken has a track?....lol just kidding. How did you go saturday Rocketstyre!

Went really good, just practiced no racing. Forgot to bring my simple green. You want to try that esc on Thursday?

Bought one this week, cant make thursday...maybe some test and tune laps that next monday night.

Ken has a track?....lol just kidding. How did you go saturday Rocketstyre!

You'd have a hard time finding it...there's no golf cart out front.

It's that track in GF, I stopped in there this summer and watched the tumbleweed blow across a emty carpet track.....it was sad!.....:p

If you saw some tumbleweed at a carpet track, it may have been a race! Who won?!?

How much does a putnam car start at?
Thanks i might consider upgrading my car that is falling apart:lol:

Todd,

I left you a PM.

Hope all had a great Labor Day. See you guys on Thursday Night.

JB TFS:dude:

so whats track prep/repair to get ready for season. or they just calling it good and running it?

The track is far from ready from what I've seen. From what I heard at the meeting last week there are many things that need to be adressed before it can be run on. Check with Kirt for more specific details.

John :thumbsup:

Hopefully someone can post a list here of the things that need to be done for all us freeloaders that couldnt make the meeting...:)

Any changes with parking?

[QUOTE=ROCKET283;2973677]Any changes with parking?[/QUOTE

Me and Snyder have run a few parking practice sessions!

First order of business is to get a Secretary so the notes from the meeting can be properly taken, recorded and posted.

ANY interested party please let me know.

i nOm inatE pHil

maybe im wrong but might have pretty good surface just tilling current surface and repacking it. maybe pick up clay if that doesnt work out well.

Time is the issue Staatsbmxkid, it takes time to get the clay and if it starts to get cold....well nobody wants to move clay when its 20 out....so we get new clay now, then we mix it all together and go racing!

wasnt sure how fast this was gonna get going. i mean if it was tilled and packed in next week or 2. would figure out if its nice or not pretty quick. just trying to save some clubs cash if it was possable. rather just be back racing inside though

clay is free thanks to Ned(mr. high banks) Putnam, I found another cart on craigslist, I will keep you in the loop!....or something!

o well thats good then. i guess pile it on and lets get racing :D

Golf Cart,

3rd one down is electric:
http://www.wantaddigest.com/view/catlist26.asp?cat=GOLFCART&classifieds=Golf Carts

Not trying to be negative but has anyone measured the doors into that room. Just measured our cart at work and you need 48 inches minimum. Also these things do not have the greatest turning radius. Are you sure it will be able to make the inside turn radius of the track? I do hope it works, it would do a great job of track packing.

The side door by the street is wide, and If it don't turn we will add stagger!

Peek, doesn't your kid have a Fisher Price Barbie jeep you could borrow??:wave:

try typing "golf cart" in on craigslist there are a few electric ones.
