Membership cards would certainly identify club members. No ticky, no shirty.

Ditto on that Bob.

Well I’m not a board member and I don’t know what the conversation was with the park commission, but do they have any intentions of enforcing this?

I realize any Dirt Runners member is allowed to use the facility, but how do you prove you are a member when the county cop or park ranger asks you? I don’t think your cute little RC car will be proof enough. I would hate to have a member drive a considerable distance to practice only to be escorted out.

I certainly don’t want to make a mountain out of a mole hill but…

Just my .02

All good points Bob. I agree with you. Im hoping there hasnt been problems in the park that have sparked this? Would hate to lose what we have. I drive just about an hour. That would really stink if I get there set up and have a ranger ask me if Im a member, then tells me to leave. And if there are non-members causing problems, I would sure like the rangers to pin it on non-Dirt Runners members than the club. Could this be an insurance thing? Is the Park released from liability from the club should someone get hurt?

I don't think there has been any problems . The new guy is a lot more gung ho then the last one . We have to file reports as to how we used the land and what improvements we make . They are also going to make us pay for the rent-a-john (the county used to pick it up ) . Don't make more out of it then it is . If we need some kind of card we could make some up and print them out from a PC :thumbsup::cool:

Don't ever think you're actually driving that Late Model. You're just hanging on for the ride;):cool: You're gonna love it.

Bad news is there is no saving any body:cry: That track gets real small in a hurry.

I hear ya.

Made some decisions last night about what to do with my indoor gear and whats likely to run at Xtreme thru the spring/summer. Moved a Tekin over to a buggy, and thus free'd up a speedo for the Slash 4x4. Brown will be coming soon with the motor.

Weather is looking nice from tomorrow onwards.Hoping 4 days of sun will dry the track out enough to get some playtime this weekend.

I took my pt and rec out of my slash and she's back in the box. Let me tell ya ain't nothing ready for outdoors....except for the zx-5. Slayer still needs to be finished and the late model too. If you son didn't tell ya I bought a complete IRS system out of an '03 cobra and that will be on my list first hopefully. Perhaps I should hire ya to get my stuff ready, oh wait that could be a bad idea. jkjk

With all this talk about getting things ready.......Im just about finished with all my rides. The sprint car is completely re-done. I found a MAJOR problem that has plagued me all season long with the exception of the frist race. It been repaired and will make a huge improvement in handling and speed. 1/10th scale buggy, E/8 (limited race time) and Slash 4x4 are all ready too. You might be saying Slash 4x4? Its brand new. I made a lot of chassis adjustments, changes, and a new lid. Im ready for out doors. Cant wait.

Adam - Can you ask Derek to get a weight on his OFNA SC truck? Theres a big debate about it on another thread. Everyone is stating their opinion about it, but none of them own it. LOL

It's official, I'm am now out of E-8 and into 4wd Mod S.C. I picked up a "Jerry Whelchel edition" Slash 4x4 RTR. Now I just need to figure out what tires are going to be the best on our track and get my hands on a center diff. Also need to get some new tires for the 1/10 4wd buggy......the rock hard Tamiya kit tires are not exactly the best thing on loose dry dirt.

An insider told me J Concepts will be releasing new SC tires in April. I have J Concepts Goose Bumps which rocked on the track 2 Sundays ago. They will have more to offer in the coming weeks. Im waiting on their new releases.

Good to know. I was thinking about the Caliber SC, but I'll hold off for now. Are you running a PE or standard Slash, can't remember?

Yeah Caliber's or Goosebumps seem to be the flavor of the day for the Slash4x4.

Taking my daughter to an easter egg hunt on saturday morning and going over to sis-in-law's house on sunday for the family thing, so I'm hoping I can find time for the track somewhere in there. I'm banking on saturday afternoon. Need to see what kind of shape the 4wd buggy is in and get a feel for what the Slash 4x4 is going to be like. Haven't even had a chance to drive it yet, just a lap around the basement to make sure it worked. Hope to see some of you there.
