may-be, thats y u quit racing for a while u cant compete! ray

I had no idea I had quit racing for a while...I learn so much on the Interweb!
;) This will come as news to both my wife and my wallet - both of whom are convinced I am still racing plenty. :rolleyes:

As to being competitive....unlike some here on the DR thread, who go on as if they are the next Tebo...I know I am not even a 'has been' - I'm definately a 'never was'. I've always had to rely on good cars and racing experience to make up for enomorous shortfalls in driving skill. That said, if we ever want to have a "55+" class or race at DR, I think I could hold my own against the other old farts. :cool:

I'm free all day. SOOOOO what ever time works for all participants works for me. I took Friday off just for DR prep, so I will more than likely be there early.

If anyone has a weed-wacker we will need one. Mine stopped running. I am going to try and sort it out tomorrow. I'll post if I get it running.

I'll bring the drag mat with me on friday and a weedwacker. See you at the track..let me know when the track crew is starting

I wish I could figure out how to just quote a part of a post . I agree with you Gary old age and treachery against youth and skill . Thats why I work so hard on setup . I am only 52 can we make it a 52+ class so I can play too ? :rolleyes::cool:

Please

Thanks

That has to do with the size of the photo if you are trying to post it through the forum. If you link to it from an external site, like say photo-bucket it will show up larger than having hobbytalk host the image (assuming the image is large to begin with).

I vote for a vintage class where drivers need at least 20 years of r/c experience and have to race the first R/C they owned... oh wait scratch that, I'm coming up on 20 years.... how about 30 years....

I raced a Frog when I was 13. Only go back into it when I was 38. Does that count ?

"New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. "

Thats nothing compared to what Ms Nature has dumped on us most Sundays :rolleyes:

21 years racing my first car was a Lunchbox . I have one here in the box that J.T. got me for Christmas . Ran it at the hobby shop in town ( no longer there ) had bearings , wiper speed control , Zepplin handout stock ( Speedworks super speedway 21t with 5 degrees locked timing ) and a Parma 55 Chevy body . Cleaned up with that thing on the asphalt oval . :thumbsup:

Now that would be fun to watch. But your going to need to fabricate a mount for the transponder on your walker :)

Just to clear up any questions about registration. YES you have to be pre-registered. There should be no sign ups sat. morning. I know that won't happen but people should read the flyer.

Only about 100 entries so far. Anybody talk to the Schies family?
