In case you don't...

Take 131 north to the West River Drive exit (just past the sign for the Fifth Second Tenth Ballpark), turn left and it's next to Wendy's.

I wanted to post this here because of the Grand Rapids Area discussion.

I have posted the items in the For Sale section, Here is a link to the stuff for sale.

http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?threadid=36498

I have had a great time in this sport but my schedule and my familys schedule doesn't leave me enough time to use my RC stuff, so I am selling everything.

Now that the Track is up here in the NE area, in my neck of the woods!

Thanks, and have a great day!

And Tony your apology is accepted, and don't worry there is still lots of work left to be done before we open this Saturday for racing!

Top 10 Signs You've Joined a Cheap HMO



1) Pedal-powered dialysis machines.

2) Use of antibiotics deemed an "unauthorized experimental procedure."

3) You ask for Viagra. You get a popscicle stick and duct tape.

4) Annual breast exam conducted at Hooters.

5) Exam room has a tip jar.

6) Tongue depressors taste faintly of Fudgescicle.

7) Directions to your doctor's office include,
"take a left when you enter the trailer park."

8) Doctor listens to your heart through a paper towel tube.

9) To avoid a time-consuming and expensive throat culture,
the doctor just French kisses you.

10) You can get your flu shot as soon
as "the" hypodermic needle is dry.

Andy, are you sure this is the address? On my way home from work I stoped by that address. I found a machine shop of some kind I think.

Fred....

I believe the address is correct.
Was it a tan colored building,
and was it next to Wendy's?

I forget what the sign out front
says, but we've been using the side
door kind of towards the back and facing
the burger joint.

We'll be there Weds evening also. (around 5:30)

Hey everybody!!

Well, we'll be back racing as usual again this weekend. Only difference is, we have a new location. The other building was just to dark, dirty and shall I say... cold??

The new address is...
4724 West River Drive
Comstock Park, MI 49321

It's easy to find, just take 131 a little ways north of GR to exit 91, (West River Drive) at the end of the exit, turn left, go less than 1/2 mile. Wendy's will be on your right, and we're in the building next to it.

Hope to see you soon!!!
John :wave:

Dave,
Are you ever going to pick up the body I painted for Moose????????????????????????????????????????????? ????

Or are you just waiting for this weekend so he can pick it up for himself, and you don't have to help put the track together?

Crazydave25
12-05-2002, 10:15 AM
Hey man,

I hope you are not talking to me when you mention something about a body to pick up, cuz that is not me. I do not know who moose is.

If you are not talking about me, then, its all good. Hope you contact the person you are looking for.

As far as helping with the track, just letl me know what time to be their and i will help you guys.

Dave

No that post wasn't meant for you, just to put you at ease. And if you wanted to come down and help out with the track that would be great since we've had a lot of people express interest in helping but have yet to show up. But that's ok I know who those people are. We are usually down there about 5:30 or so. But I won't be there tommorow night since I have other plans, but there SHOULD BE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE DOWN THERE TO HELP OUT SINCE WE ARE TRYING TO OPEN THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!

See you later.

And as far as our schedule it is as follows:
Saturday:
9:30 am, doors open for oval practice and oval racing starts at 12:30
5:30 or so, stadium track gets set up and practice starts for that, and racing begins around 7:30

Sunday:
9:30am, doors open and road course practice starts. Racing for those guys begin at 12:30(even though lately they haven't gotten their act together until almost 3:00!!)

Tues. & Thurs. open practice from 5:30 - 9:30.

But as the newly appointed race director for the club I will be collecting all race fees, membership fees and starting EVERY race on time if there are racers on the drivers stand or not! (listen up you guys that run on Sunday, b/c this is meant for you!!!!!)

And I will also be enforcing the 9:30 closing time for practice since I have to be up the next morning for work, like a lot of other people during the week.

Is their going to be open practice for Stadium truck during the week?

You can also take the E. Beltline(M-37) all the way down, it turns into Northland Dr. Northland Dr then hits W. River Dr., Take a left on W. River Dr. and go down a little ways and it's on the left hand side before the wendys.

Geez Man- what ever happened to "12th scale is MANDATORY"? Needless to say, I will be racing it this coming weekend...

psycho02
12-09-2002, 07:39 AM
What happened to it is that eveybody thought it was mandatory to bring them and leave them on the table, not put them on the track.
