What to say,.......about a place that one has spent a fair portion of his or her life,....racing,...meeting quality people,......I have done both here! But to say,not only have I completely enjoyed my experience there, this venue provided not only racing,but a wholesome escape from the woes that life sometimes brings.Not just for myself,but for others close to me. For that,....Thank you very much! To Big Don,Greg,Katie,little Greg,Gene, David,and others who have been there,........A very merry Christmas!!! It doesn't matter how bumpy the track is,nor does it matter how the lighting is,.....it's Hobby World! It's a great place! I know one who will always remember this,.......Thank you again! :thumbsup:

Bear-
Still trying to get your ADX back?? :eek: Check your email for his phone #. Try calling him after 6 PM. Just tell him I gave it to you!
See you soon!
-George

George,

I heard that Greg was sick Friday sorry you did not get your motor. But I also heard that you did pretty go at K-mart

brooks

Brooks-
Yep,whooped Dan's butt! With your motor & his batteries! Might be the last time he'll sell me his good stuff!! :lol: I'll catch up w/Greg sometime this week. He might be just "playing sick" (AKA: Scared!) all along. HAHA!

Thanks again for the "power"!!
-George

Sweet deal, Glad to see the motors are working, I talked to Dan and he would of been fast but he had the motor over geared. He had it geared for one of his "slow" motors. I think that he will do pretty go next week,(I gave him a little better gearing.)

Are you going to race at the birds?

brooks at
BRD Motors

P.S. Greg has 4 or 5 of my motors that are already tuned that I am wanting sold so let every one know.

Brooks-
No,I'm not going to the 'Birds. If I go,it'll be to watch the races & hang out w/ you & the 'Dogs.
-George

Cool, hope to see you there. I am going to try to make another trip to hobby world some time this summer.

Dan,

Well, seeing how I give you your power I guess the answer to that would be Brooks at BRD Motors!!!! :lol:


brooks

cant wait to get my car so i can come play.anyone up to going to tuffys sunday?LET ME KNOW,BEAR

Bear-
I'm not going right now. I'll get another car built just for Tuffy's track before I'll go. Tom should be there along w/Malin,Conlee,Tuffy & Dad (of course!). Not sure who else might be there. From what I heard,tires of choice are: Red fronts,Purple rears. (foams)

I'll be there as soon as I get Katfish's old KGB car put together!

-George

BTW- I was riding in second in Friday's A-main until I got ran into accidentally & broke an axle. Just my luck! Ahhh,no biggie though-just hard racing. I'll get it fixed for next time!!

Attention - the BullFrog will also be there with hopefully the computer.I was there last week where were you.Well also have Legends and 4 cell spec cars/Trucks(gears right now are Legends 22x81).

does anybody know what happened to the tire truer that cpt had? also does any body have a tire truer that I could use to cut down my tires for the birds? Chuck has the cobra trackside one it will work but is very slow

Dave

Dave-
Nobody knows about that truer! Maybe it got sold??

Bullfrog-
Where was I? I was at work (yes,on a Sunday!) ordering a ____load of blank T-shirts & getting ready for the 2003 TPC golf schedule! Tons of $$$$$$$$,if you know what I mean!! I'll be out @ Tuffy's when I'm free and when the other KGB car (former Katfish's ride!) is built!.
-George

Well I understand George- So we'll see you Sunday.You don't need that fancy car to get beat ( not by me).

Bill-
:lol: !!!!!!!
-George

George, if you need some more of that power Gregs got 4 or 5 of my motors that need to go out the door. Show'm how it done. LOL

brooks:lol:

Got a question,.........or two,.......what are the specs for the 4-cell truck? And,.....does Tuffy and Leroy plan on having a regular sunday racing thing? If so,I'll buy more stuff,and go racing!:thumbsup:

I know that Tuffy and Leon have some spec cars/trucks I'm not sure about Leroy. So far I tried the 22x81 legends gears and they are a tad faster than the legends.The take-off is alittle slow.I haven't talked to Frank because he's out of town-He'll be back Saturday I think. I'm open of any ideas .We could all meet and talk about it.

22/81,..........cool,but, what chassis? spec batteries? spec motor? what brushes? Thank you,Bill!

Joe I've got the Bolink chassis - with spec batteries( since the new one's aren't out yet). The spec motor with "s" brushes.I also ran blue fronts with green rears )spec tires-anybody's right now.We'll talk about it some more this weekend. I'll also thinking about the Eddie Herrmann Cup Legends series. See I knew you couldn't quit- it's infected your brain!

R/C ADDICT!!!! :lol: Joe,you know the only known cure for that is to go racing! :lol: I'll see everyone there soon!
-George

This is for Joespec: Well I did it -ordered a real Oval car from Bolink/Racetech. It will be awhile before it made because it will be there new car.What is this world coming to? See you Sunday There is something else about the new track but I can't say for now.

For what it is worth... I have heard many people at the track ask about CPT and what is going on there... well I was in the area the other day so I decided to swing by and take a look in the window... there are still sone shelving fixtures there and the track is still in place looking as good as ever. Man it just pissed me off though sitting it sit there, know we could race there if we only had a key. That is the way the ball bounces but I tell you what... I wish it were back. Anyway, thought some of you would like to know that nobody has demolished it yet.

Touring Greg

One more thing... I will have a Novak N-Power and a LRP Pulsar Competition Charger available for sale in the next few days for those who are interested. The charger has a dis-charge and motor-run feature as well. These items are only a couple of months old and will be sold pretty cheap. My new power supply and Turbo 35 are under the tree. :D

Touring Greg

hey greg

keep the chargers. you can always use 2. i use my novak to charger and the turbo 30 to discharge and run motors. plus when I get there I like to put 2 batteries on so I can get 2 practice runs in. I make changes at home to the car and test them in the first practice and make a change if need for the second one.


Dave Puliafico

Greg (touring)-
Also the good thing about 2 chargers & pwr supplies is that you'll always have a spare/backup-just in case! Something I've learned from playing in rock bands for many,many years-you can't always have too many spares!! I too have a Novak for charging stuff,whether it's Spec packs or 3300's when my GM Commander is in use for other clandestine uses! :lol: Also if anyone's in a tough bind,I'll have another charger open to help them get through the night. (ask Bob & Chris Mason!) Make sure you thank Santa for the T-35 & pwr supply!!! Keep the LRP & N-Pwr in your trunk! :thumbsup:
-George

Anyone showing up tonight?

.... its just practice but its still racing!:thumbsup:

I just need a quick fix!:eek:

Jay-
I can't. Gotta Christmas dinner w/work to go to. Maybe they'll finally pay me for their logos on my 4-cell-NOT!!! :lol: Should be someone out there,though! BTW,is Saturday still on? LMK- I'm ready to fight the mall traffic @ 8AM!!
-George

hey george do my old car proud bro! he he he brooks you got mail!:wave:

are absolutely right! I'm an R/C addict! Have been for a long time,if I could have stayed in this thing continuously,who knows how much stuff I could have collected by now? Fact of the matter is,I knew what my new job would entale,as far as time is concerned,and instead of just letting my stuff just sit there,and not get used,I tried to come up with a good deal for someone,which I have always done in the past.I started in 85'with a certain someone that only Bill and Tom know,by the way,Bill,.......Mike is now a correctional officer in Tampa! Yikes!! Who would've figured that one? Anyway,....it's no good to have stuff,if you can't use it.But now that there is another place in town,that might be more conducive to my freakish schedule,then you can bet that I will obtain new gear,and rub fenders again with a group of some of the finest people I have ever met! Hey Bill,........I appreciate the info on the thunder trucks!! That Bolink chassis you are using,.......is it a spec chassis,or will any do? Got to leave for Miami sunday night,hope to make it back by Christmas eve,...........have a safe and joyous holiday to everyone! :thumbsup: :wave:

Congratulations on your acquisition of a new oval car!! If your capabilities with this are of equal with your 1/12 scale driving,then we are in for a surprise! It's always better when you build them from the start. Speaking of Bolink,...I think that both you know,and I know,for the money,no one can do better than a Bolink car,....Period! It would be nice if the typical ground-swell of R/C popularity would raise up this company as well,to the promenence that it deserves,...........Go Legends! I think that this will be my next,first new car,......but the thunder trucks have my interest big-time! Nothing like squeezing the throttle for all that it's got,with four fenders,..........rubbing! Sounds like a race to me! I'm just sitting here,grinning like a jackass eating briars,thinking of you racing oval! You got a head start on me,I haven't one to build yet,but the miles are coming in fast,so the shopping list is being formulated now! :thumbsup:

Yes it is the Bolink spec chassis.I've had to change afew parts on the dif. I was hoping you would be coming by with yours so we could compare what we want to be legal.I guess will talk later.I can't believe Mike is a correction officer- what's the world coming to?As we know Mike this will last for how long?

I think that it should last for a long while for Mike,he is now a single parent,with an adorable 10 year old daughter,.....he spent a year trying to get on the force,......and he also has a photography business,...which is kind of on hold,for his real job. I had to just be very proud of him,he has come a long way from his,"rebel without a cause"past,.........who knows? On to racing,.......what is the drive-line at the Carrigg's track? What is his address? My e-mail is jhadnot@mindspring.com. If you think that the Legends class will be bigger,then I will buy this,but you tell me,so I can make the next purchase a good one,not that any of them haven't been,LOL! Got's to have more toys,......you know..:D

Well the packers and movers will be here the 26th and 27th and I move in on the 31st. I am trying to get my oval car ready for some 4 cell 19turn racing. My son will be starting to race with a legends that he is getting for christmas. Can someone help me with a setup for the 19turn class and rules for the legends class. See everyone after the first.


Lee:p

Kat,

Can you Send that e-mail that you sent to my work e-mail to this e-mail address

brooks.derting@mailcity.com

brooks

Lee-
There's a spot waiting for you in the pits down here! ;) There hasn't been a legends race @ Hobby World in awhile. If there were,they would be running the current Legends rules. As for 4-cell 19turn,we'll talk when you get here! :thumbsup:
Kat-
Thanks,man! I'll take good care of your ride!!

-George

Hmmmm,.........building a car for Tuffy's? You keep this up,and that sweet Camaro you drive will be full! Looks like you might need a trailer soon!:D What time do they start out there at Tuffy's?:wave:

When we run them at Truffys(Legends) you got the basic rules in your kit. All other Will be listed - Only Bolink tires,S brushes.(not the ones that come in your motor).

Thank you,Bill! What time do ya'll start at Tuffy's? If you are running today,I'm going to try to come out and check it out!

Joespec: sorry I didn't get back sooner I got there at 12:30 but everyone else was there before me.

Joespec-
HAHAHAHA! The Camaro's already full!! :lol: My gosh! All of the sudden,there's 3 venues that I (and a lot of others!) could race at every weekend in Jacksonville: Hobby World on Friday nights,Autohaus/Kmart every other Saturdays and Tuffy's (AKA Palm Valley Speedway) on Sundays! I may just have to get one of those new Futaba "radar guns" 'cause I could only fit 3 setups into the memory. I would need 3 more spaces for the Spec car!

Bullfrog-
Special thanks to you for the invite to Tuffy's. Also,please give my sincere thanks to the Carigg family next time you see them for having us (me,Bob & Chris) over to their house for some great racing action and for their hospitality! You couldn't meet a nicer bunch of people anywhere than the Carigg's!! I'll have to miss this Sunday (12/29) so I could gather up parts & finish building the former Katfish KGB ride & have it set-up exclusively for PVS. Everyone have a Merry Christmas-I'll see y'all soon!!!!

-George Ramos
KGB Nation

NFLRC's has its race every 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at K-mart, not every other weekend. Hate to have someone show when NFLRC was not running that weakend.

Only dates that would effect the normal 2nd and 4th race dates, would be the holidays and if a major holiday fell on Saturday. You can always check www.nflrc.com for race dates and times if you have any questions or ask me next time you see me.

Just want to say Happy Holidays and an even better New Year to everyone. I've had a great time racing with and getting to know you all on a personal level.

I sometimes step back to see the reactions and looks on peoples faces at race events in JAXS. The smiles, the oooooh's, the aaaaagh's, the on the edge of your seat driving for first and second places, and the underlining meaning of it all....... FUN! It makes me feel good to say Im part of the R/C community in JAXS.

Happy Holidays and have a great New Year,

Jay L. Aud

I like to say Merry Christmas to the gang at hobby world, and hope i can get well enuff to come and run with yall again next year. i have really missed running with a great group of guys.

Don Raulerson:dude:

Katfish & C-dog,
Merry x-mas and a happy new year back at cha! You'll get a chance to run with Dan, Brooks and I at the 'Birds. Santa better not leave me an ADX, It better be a HD 700 or he can keep it in his sleigh! LOL:lol: Drop dan and I a line If y'all need anything.

George,
