K1M, your mission if you choose to accept it is.........................

Next week I suppose? :)

No...I just love American ingenuity I guess.

Gotta go...Joy's running her mini-t up and down the hall! :eek:

K1m >> You better have those BRP hop up parts on that Mini-T :lol:

Bud: Yep, I guess I need more parts...hard to believe, huh? Don't forget to bring us some mini-t stuff.

Kind of a light turnout this week with only 5 fun burps (and it didn't help the laps) we have too much fun just kidding around. Problems continue for me in mod BuRP... I pulled off a win, but it wasn't at all pretty. Congrats to Mike for his stock win...think 60 laps, Mike!

Looks like a tuesday night practice is in order to get ready for the
Racers Edge Winter BuRP Challenge next week!

I'll be there :thumbsup:

Practice no fair guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
K1m. should I call you sat or do you just want to meet in town?

Ooops.......forgot to post results this week. :o K1M got lucky in Fun BuRP. I wonder how much he paid Mark to leave his radio on? :lol:

We have a big group of racers coming over I believe there will be a total of 9 !! Make sure the snack bar is stocked up :wave:

Is that a big group, or a group of big racers?

Thats right :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

Big Racers.....little racecars! :D

Ronne and I will be bringing tc3's with us also, I have never raced mine yet, I'm sure you guys have some dust settled on some boards over there I can clean off for you. :thumbsup:

sweet warbird :thumbsup: I'm prety new to it too I just got mine on
x-mas I have a lowered hpi rs4 rally with a ford cougar body. the only thing bad is that touring car is RIGHT before brp. Anyway the touring car class that's runing the most is stock tc :thumbsup:

We have a big group of racers coming over I believe there will be a total of 9 !! Make sure the snack bar is stocked up :wave:

Not sure on food but I know "The Cook" just picked up 40 six packs of pop the other day. :) I believe the special will be either lasagna or chili for those of you that like to eat. :thumbsup:

WOW I'm getting there early!!!!!!

Well add two more mini T's to the racers list at Racers Edge rick you sneaky little bugger. :lol: Also what kind of course will you have for the T's ? Road course, oval, jumpy road course, jump oval, or something different.

It'll probably be road course with jumps.

K1M........you bringing those things over? :)

If you want them....they're nothing fancy, just plywood - but it should be fun! Can't wait to see Bud's....they've been racing them for a month or more now, and he's got his souped right up! Wheeeeeeee!

so are we racin mini's this week or what?; so I know what to charge. I've been useing those carboard ramps that come with the mini's. There a blast! Just as much fun as flying over the sphere's with BRP"s!

Rick- tell "the cook" to have chilli w/cheese!

I could bring my "ramp". Better bring it in to thaw. Buuhahahaha :devil:

K1M...........sounds good, if you wouldn't mind us borrowing them until we can get something of our own made up.

Andy........bring 'em buddy because I think we'll be rinning 1/18 off road this week. :thumbsup:

Don.........think it's gonna be lasagna actually.

Andy........bring 'em buddy because I think we'll be rinning 1/18 off road this week. :thumbsup:

sswweett. Let's go racin...Baja stlye. yeee ha!

Hey Rick,

What's it going to cost to run the mini T's? or shall I say Mini Baja's :lol:

Andy.......since we're already half way through the year I'll say we'll just run it as a fun class like Fun BuRP and charge $2. Unless of course you guys prefer to run for points which I have no problem with. We'll discuss it tomorrow.

Gotcha :thumbsup:

It don't mater to me about points cause if it's not it's $2 and if there is points it's $2 for me.

I dug the ramps out of the snow today and brought them in to dry out. They're made for 1/10 scale trucks, but I think the mini's can handle them. A couple of test runs down the hallway proved the need for some decent shocks, but I'm sure it'll be a tail slappin good time anyway!

well runing mikes 1800 pack in the main proved my thoughts of why I was only getting 20-26 laps a race, and I was right my old 1200's SUCK I won't be racing BRP for a while till I get some decent juice!

EvaderAndy, glad I got to run with you today, keep it smooth and steady and the laps will come.

Great day of racing with the Ohio gang in attendance. Thanks for your patients guys while I worked out the glitches. The one with Chris was my fault but I don't have a clue what happened with the second heat of 1/18 off road! As I said it was a pleasure to have you guys race with us and we'll have to do it again. Bud shows no mercy on the track records either and Joy shoves LLB aside to take over the top rung of the ladder. Congrats on the new records guys!

Biggest turnout of BuRP cars I think we've ever had and it's a true testimony of just how popular these little cars are. No matter how unrecognized they go by the major magazines and news outlets.

Outstanding day of racing...the track was a definate challenge for our visitors, but they handled it pretty well. The open BurP class was awesome, two new records speak for themselves. The fun class was exactly that....congrats to Ray Eaton on his making the "30 lap club" and winning the B main...maybe you should let you son run your car! :lol: Just kidding Andy, nice run! I belive another personal record was broken also....'atta girl Snookie!

Yes I was pretty impressed watching Ma make her way around the track Sunday in the main. See did very well at staying off the pipes. And to think she told me she didn't want to race Sunday.

hey Rick,

I see that on your page the mini t race has points, so I'm guessing that the mini t race is for points now right?

Pretty good assumtion. :p

Thanks to all of the PA Posse for the nice card and all of the well wishes. I hope to make the next road trip. :wave:

Andy.......since we're already half way through the year I'll say we'll just run it as a fun class like Fun BuRP and charge $2. Unless of course you guys prefer to run for points which I have no problem with. We'll discuss it tomorrow.

What changed your mind? My first impression was that they're more of a "for fun" type R/C especially in stock form. Either way, I suggest we run as many at a time as possible to make it more exciting.

I agree with kim as long as we have 3-4 mini t's, let the good times roll

I guess if I could be honest, it's because I forgot about making it a "fun" class to begin with since things were so hectic. I had already charged half the people the full price before I remembered. :o If you guys would rather make it a "fun" class, then make your voices heard first thing tomorrow when you get there and I'll go along with it. It's gonna be one of those things of, speak now or forever hold your peace. :)

I updated the Autoscore software on Tuesday evening and when I put them back in I changed things to 6 cars since there are only 6 channels available on 27mhz. Dunno why I hadn't done that in the first place!

Standing Room Only last week.....very low turnout this week. (I'll blame it on the Super Bowl) Only 4 entries in Fun BuRP, but good racing all the same. I did my best to "block" Ovalman and hold on to the lead, but he came out on top again this week. We traded the lead several times and I even managed to traction roll on the infield, which is a new one for me.

Stock oval BuRP was dominated by LLB (Laura Burrows) with Mike Button, Joy Fortner, and Carpetburner (Johna Simar) close behind. I was the only entry in Mod oval this week, so I tried to concentrate on working through traffic cleanly rather than on just going fast. The surprising thing was I ended up running 2 laps faster than I had ever gone before. Hummmm....
A guy in Ohio once told me that sometimes slower is faster...???!!!

Mini-t class saw EvaderAndy take the win in his new stock silver t with secret suspension setup! Mine was dialed in good with Bud's shocks but I made alot of dumb mistakes. I'm having alittle trouble with my mini-t because no matter how much it looks like a XXX-T....it doesn't handle like one! Not yet anyway.

Good battle between K1M and myself today. Looks like he's finally figured the road course out so I better find some speed. :p The Cook couldn't quite run the laps she did last week but I'm sure that was my fault as I even got cuffed in the head once during the second heat. LOL

Oh btw Bud, check out that winner in Open BuRP. Your record stands at 67/5:01.18............for now. :devil:

Wow way to go K1m!!!

No records this week but K1M was giving it a shot. If canbquik was running Open BuRP stock the record would now be 62! :eek: Good battle between myself and K1M in the Fun BuRP main. I'd catch him and then get tangled in traffic. Did this about three times before things finally went my way and I "squeezed" by him for the win. :)

Whats going on in PA ???

I would of been there tuesday but my dad was changing his u-joint's in his truck and didn't have the right ones and we where going to buy some wire and more connetions to build our 2000 cells but had no wheels so no brp's or mini t's for another week or two :(

I took last week off to visit a new track in the area near Jamestown, Ny. It's nearly twice as large as our local track and a flat oval of new Ozite. I raced stock truck (first time this year) and took my mod BRP along for fun. Sugar Daddy and I finally got to run the BRPs during intermission and I can honestly say there were more than a few questions and comments about how fast those little cars are. That's about the first time I've ever been able to run that Speed 300 flat out full throttle. They really ran good and felt stable. We wanted to show these guys the BuRPs last summer when we raced in Jamestown but it got rained out. I think a full field of BRP cars would really be fun on that big track!

We'll be back at Racers Edge this week, hopefully there will be more racers. Last year I did DRIVER PROFILES (http://pennswoods.net/~fortner/burprofiles.html) to help boost attendance. Maybe something like that might be in order again, of course I could just do a sh*t list, too! :D

I had a union contract to vote on. My union was considering going on strike till the senior members figured they weren't going to be affected by the 12-hour swing shift. Then the contract was ok. Try to be back at it tomorrow. :tongue:

yeah K1m's and Sugar D's mod bps were going faster than the Novice racers!

Congrats to LLB for the new track record in Open Oval Stock BRP, 60 laps. Yeahhhhhhhh. Girl Power!! Also thanks to Snookie and LLB, cake was delicious. :hat:

:thumbsup: YES!!...Congrats to LLB for a great run in stock oval! We had some good tight racing in the open oval class today. Laura will give you a little room on the bottom, but she's not afraid to race you clear thru the turn either! :thumbsup:

Good to see the BRP classes with lots of cars again! Fun BuRP was cool as always... I ran my Mini-T in first heat with Wattage 370 power just to try it out...I LIKE IT!!! In the main, Ovalman gave me every opportunity to win, but I managed to stuff it into a wall 1/2 lap from the finish. ( for like the 3rd time...) It was a great time though, glad its just for fun!
