I'm an Overpaid Bum.

Toby, thanks for breaking your butt on the track and making that drain. You Brits are pretty smart.:) :thumbsup::wave:


I was kind of hoping that stupid bear was gone. At least I'm assuming it's the same one:( :thumbsup: +1 Thanks for the hard work Toby :cool:

ooops

I forgot to mention. Where the drain exit is, I moved the pipes out a little so the exit is inside the island, rather than exiting onto the track - so people don't drive their cars into the pipe and break stuff.

You can see below, on the right. It just means a little less room going into that Right turn (before tabletop) but I don't think its a big problem.



JT, if you get a chance, it needs a few nails driving thru the extension Pipe I added.

Some people might call my position an engineer - I think its more of a glorified monkey in nice clothing, personally.

I'll take care of that this afternoon. Also do I need to tamp the whoops?

Does that mean the rightful owner will now be racing the Slash? You going to make your mark in Truggy now? Look out truggys, here comes JT.

Yup that's correct

Yeah yeah all you overpaid, glorified bums. I'm and underpaid r/c tech at toy store. I'd prefer to be the overpaid bum. Perhaps I should work on my brit accent a little more.

Yes please. I did what I could with my size 11's...but I ran out of steam at the end, dehydration more than anything. cheers JT.

You have to say blimey, bloke, bloody, cheers, mate, wanker, & tosser alot. Good thing you dont smoke cigarettes JT. I dont even want to tell you what they call them. We have our share of Brits here at work.

looks awesome Toby i really wish i could put my young services to use at the track..but this damn knee is done had surgery 2 years ago and might need another one...will find out Monday goin for an MRI if i do gonna wait until the season is over....:tongue:

Anyone can sign up on here for Station 2. Or on the other thread.

Toby, I swept about half the water off of the sweeping turn, tamped the jumps but i couldn't find any steaks in the trailer and didn't wanna use re bar. I figure were not racing for two more weeks and by then we can find steaks.

Do you guys do any track work on the off weekends ? Me and my son want to help, but since were an hour away, the weekends are the only time we can get up there. Last sunday was our first time racing and had a great time. Thanks a lot for having a great place to race.

Thanks for wanting to help, we need all we can get:thumbsup:

Usually whomever is going posts on this board when they are going up on the weekend to work. Mostly, we do track prep for race day the day before.

If I plan on going I will be sure to post.

Ray, did you order you OFNA parts?

JT, Thanks so much for working on the track and tampering those jumps. How'd they look ?

Yeah, we can pick up some stake's between now and then. There is a few pipe sections that could use a little securing also.

Thanks for clearing the water of the sweeper. I would estimate if tomorrow is another hot one, by the pm the track should be drivable.

What can I say I'm a hurtful kind of guy !

How's things in Virginny?

Well, for starters I didn't even come close to the work you did from today. Looking at the pictures and seeing it this afternoon was amazing how much you did. The whoop section looks good although I think its gonna need another tampering to get it to settle. My only concern there is the third jump on the left side looks slightly lower then the landing on the fourth. The third jump is the one where the drainage pipe runs underneath and because the clay was so soft it packed down a lot more then the rest did. I think if someone goes up in the morning and sweeps the rest of the water in that turn it should dry out by the end of the day. Once again I wasn't too concerned because race day isn't for awhile and there's no pressure to have the track in race ready condition.

What can I say I was hungry or I'm just illiterate...don't answer that! I'll have Shayna beat the crap out of you.

Yeah, the dirt was real wet where I drained the puddle at the top. Probably after a day or two of settling, 1 more barrow of Dirt on it will level it out with the others.

Yup, did you jump that whoops section today? I saw tire tracks and was wondering if its possible to rythmn that section. As far as seeing the tire tracks go I felt like an Indian tracker and put my ear down to the ground...1/8 buggy?

close :thumbsup: 4x4 Slash with Goosebumps :)

Just ran it back and forth across the whoops, after I finished. (Didn't want to get the car anywhere else on the track and get it all jacked up with Dirt (again)...

It ran thru there pretty nice. But will likely change with use and weather as it did before.

When you say rhythm, you mean apply a little blip of the throttle at each jump ?

I thought I was giving Shayna driving lessions. Lol I guess I meant that you can double double that section. Make a nice flow

Yeah, you can if get lined up right. At a minimum, double the first two, single the rest.

That's what I figured. Wonder if now that people can do that if more people will need to be marshaled.

Ray, did you order you OFNA parts?

I had T-bone tonight. JT, I spent about 45 minutes with Alvin and Paul cleaning and organizing the container Sunday before we started. Any stakes /rebar we found were put on the bottom or next to the bottom shelf on the back end of the shelf. I know I saw at least 2 stakes, and there were several pieces of re-bar too.

....Last sunday was our first time racing and had a great time. Thanks a lot for having a great place to race.

Glad you had a great day at DirtRunners. First of many I hope :thumbsup:

I was thinking the same thing today. We do really have a great place to race and I'm very grateful.
