Nick - I'll see you Monday! Do you have my beer mugs from the Hobby Hub winter points series? We should break them in at Trippers. ;)

I guess I should go over my r/c stuff. I haven't touched any r/c stuff since the Lazer points race.

We are going to Lazer Sunday, and probably Lansing Monday.

Three quick questions- Where is the track in Lansing (directions from G.R.), what time do you start, and do you run an F-1 class? :confused: :devil:

And Rich- LOVE THE RADIO!!!

From what I am told the racing this Monday will be at the Frandor Mall (where the Hobby Hub store is located) and not at the Lansing Outlet mall (where the carpet track is located).

The track will be open for practice at 9:00a and racing starts at noon or 1:00p.

Eric - was your buddy able to figure out where the battery drain was?

-Rich

How do you get to the track? I have been there but John drove and I was sleeping and don't know how to get there.

And Rich, it was a combination of a loose solder connection and a bad cell in the batteries. Did a little resoldering and got some new batteries in it an now I only have to recharge it every couple of weeks or so. :devil: :D

Oh- will there be F-1 racing?! :confused: :devil:

Directions to the Hobby Hub if you're coming from G.R.:

1) Take I-96 to I-69/US-127 (same as if you're going to the carpet track)
2) Take US-127 south (just after the carpet track exit)
3) Take Saginaw St. exit
4) Turn left at the 2nd street (1st steet is one-way. Could get messy.)
5) Turn right between Red Lobster and McDonalds into Frandor Mall.
6) Look around. It's got to be here somewhere!


F-1 cars? Don't know, better bring a few others with you.

I second that one Rich.

I hope all you guy have fun tomorrow, and let me know how many runs Bobby finishes,,, so far this weekend he's 0 for 4.... :jest:

Bobby why did you give me your bad luck?!?!?!?!?!?

:dude:

oh brother!

Nick, had a great time for your season opener.
Fred :thumbsup:

Hi Nick. Thanks for a fun time! The few times I've raced in Lansing I've always enjoyed it. RayJ

Nick,
Thanks for putting on a great race. Cody had a blast in his first road course race (even if he broke in both races). He'll get the hang of it, besides it gives his Dad something to fix!! Might have to get one of those cool Nitro's now though.

Nick,
Are you racing this weekend?

is anyone there?

Yeah, what he said. :D

I even called the show and was told "he's not here yet, but he's supposed to be." oops...

He was supposed to give Rich that beer mug, not use it. :lol:

D'oh..... :jest:

Hi Greg, We aren't racing this weekend. we'll probably run next Saturday. I should be posting the dates tommorrow.

Too many things going on and not enough time to do them in. :drunk:

son of a....

Saturday????

Yeah, he better wash it before he gives it to me.

-Rich


He was supposed to give Rich that beer mug, not use it. :lol:

Yep, Saturday. I didn't want to conflict with Lazer points day. So Saturday June 7th. I believe we'll be running at the office complex across from Frandor. It is called Pointe North. I'll fill everyone in next week.

Hey, Maybe Jimmy's Pub would let us pit inside!! But then Walt would miss all of his heats, and would be hustling quarters for the "Video" game.

Nick,
so, what's the deal? are we still going to be running at the Pointe North office complex across from Frandor? What time wil the track be set up?

um, anyone there?

.........and the location and schedule for Saturday is..........

You up for Mod Bobby?

racing will be across the street (to the north) from frandor,in the pointe north office complex. If its not raining the track will get set up fri nite.

Thanks Walt!!! you gonna run Mod or Nitro?

both with rain tires

The directions to the new track are..

From Grand Rapids, I-96E to I-69E to US-127S. Take 127S to the second exit (Saginaw St, M-43), Turn left at the second light. Go straight until you reach Coolidge Rd (first light past Frandor, heading East) then turn left. When you come to the light, make another left. You will see the Pointe North office complex on the right. Turn in at the first drive for Pointe North, and go around to the back.

From Detroit/ Ann Arbor, I-96W to US-127N. Take 127N to the the Saginaw St/ M-43 exit. Turn right at the light and go straight through until you reach Coolidge Rd (first light past Frandor), then turn left.

Brian

What's up this weekend?

Sorry Bobby, no racing this weekend. We'll be racing again when you are in NC.

Here's the Hobby Hub racing schedule-

June 29
July 13
July 18-20 HPI Challenge (in Jackson)
Aug 3 Summer Classic warm-up
Aug 9-10 Summer Classic
Aug 17
Aug 31

After August, we'll see what the weather holds.

I'm thinking about selling my TC3 touring car and all the extra parts that I have accumulated. Anyone who has seen it or seen it run, knows that it is a pretty decent car. This is the chassis that I have moved the batteries into a 4/2 configuration. I'll have to think about a price and maybe what radio equipment (if any) the buyer would like with it. Anyone interested, feel free to e-mail me. I'll probably get more serious about selling it as we get closer to the carpet season.

. I'll probably get more serious about selling it as we get closer to the carpet season.

Hammy is wifey taking away the r/c car fund???? Or are you just going to concentrate on the 1/18th. We want the scope.

I am saving to buy a full-size car for the 2004 season at Waterford. I am also trying to save for a wedding. That doesn't leave much room for R/C. I am looking to buy a 1/12th scale car and race that next season. They are just less work for me. I've raced them for long enough that I won't need to try 100 different set-ups to find that last 0.2 seconds that Aaron, Walt and Dave had on me last year in touring car. Plus, I can still organize the CRL and have more time to enjoy things.

Cari is very supportive of my racing obsession. She wants me to have a full-size car as much as I do. She's even putting money aside to help fund it. She plans to attend every race and even help crew. I am starting to get serious about the big cars. I have taken an autocross school, two Skip Barber single day events and a performance sports car driving school. At the end of this month I am flying to Lakeland, Florida to race NASCAR on the road-course. This will be a two day complete with passing techniques. The closer to the school is a 30 lap race.

Brian - keep your eyes open up there at Waterford for ITC or ITB cars. I don't think I'm ready for ITA or spec Miata. I want to start out without a ton of horsepower. It's safer and I think I'll learn more.

That's the scoop.

Keith,

Sounds good to me. I will keep my eyes and ears open.

"It's safer and I think I'll learn more."

I remeber when sex was safe and racing was dangerous. No wait...I'm not that old. lol

Brian

ha ha ha :lol: :lol: :lol:

Keith, we'll have a talk this weekend...

I'll be there Friday night for the Kart racing, then heading back to D-Town.

Jody,
I heard you had quit the wipe out with you 8th scale?
Pushed every thing from the rear over the front axle, even ripped the head off the engine. Damn thats to bad
Fred

Just a reminder, we'll be racing SUNDAY in Frandor. I promise there won't be a ski jump. :D

Just another reminder, we'll be racing Sunday June 29th, at Frandor, (where we ran the Memorial day race). Track opens at 9am, racing between 12 and 1pm. Still only $5 to race. We'll be removing the Ski Jump tonight. Hope to see everyone there. :D

I was all set to go try the new pavement in Grand Rapids but I let the weather forecast scare me away (plus it was raining here), so it looks like I will be in good old Lansing Sunday.

What are you going to do to remove the jump?

See ya tomorrow.
Ted

Ancient Chinese secret,,,,,,

Actually, we found a leveling compound that we had used in DeWitt works really well. It sets up fast, gets hard as a rock, and the compound we put down for the memorial day race is still in place.

Just a reminder guys, we will NOT be racing this Sunday. The race director needs time to get the dirt track operational. :drunk:

what was that, we're racing at the dirt track???? :tongue:
