Oh, aren't you special for running an old car? :devil:

"Greasy?" Hmmm. Maybe you should clean your tires more often. :p

I'm running the MTX-2. Same one I've been running the last 2 years. :) Same, original MT-12 engine, too!

Just a quick reminder to the G.R. crowd that oval season isn't completely over yet. This saturday is the final race in Mt. Pleasant. Doors open at 10:00 with racing at noon. (The track is usually set up on friday night for practice.) If anybody sees Roger Zimmerman, please let him know. Since this is the last race of the season, we usually have an "Outlaw Legends" class (with most of the rules thrown out) that even HIS car would be legal for.

Good deal, Maybe u can help me with set up;)

Hope to see u out there this weekend!

Anyone up for running Mod Electric Touring Car this weekend???? I know AJ said he would like to run mod a couple times

Oh yeah, you see the little fat dude named cartman so you know who this is, and this weekend, stay outa my way, cuz my nitro sadan driving skills are about to arrupt......Oh yeah........

THATS RIGHT, you understand, Mr. Clean is going to leave flames on the track surface this Sat. ( hopefully not cuz of a crash )....

We will see about that Mr. Clean...

Im pretty confident in my trusty mugen.

See ya out there!

Sounds like the smack is being laid down....I may need to get a set of foams (yuck).

nitrogod:

what exactly are foams? are they tyres or something you use for insulation?

M are dem round things at are soft and shushe.:eek:

Don't look now Fred, but your post got deleted... SURPRISE! Any word on the asphalt? I'll swing by the track this weekend and should (I hope) be able to race on the 4th of May...:devil:

It kinda boggles my mind why even make posts about certain things? I think the only way to put this stuff behind us and move on is to just let things be. I don't know what was posted, or where but I have a pretty good idea where it was posted. We should all have the mentality to look at this "GR track issue" like this. So there is two tracks in GR, Who Cares! I don't, it gives people more options to race. And by thinking that way it makes all of us look more professional. I just wish people would stop and think about what they are saying and how it will make them and the club/people they represent look before they hit that Submit Reply button at the bottom of the screen.

And if I offended anyone with what I just said, too bad! It wasn't me who was acting like a two year old about this. I'm just trying to do what's right for the club.

Andy--on the one hand i can see where you are coming from, on the other think about this. How much will it hurt the club with him having FREE racing all summer??? I don't think it's right though that if someone says one negative thing that it gets deleted. That's like saying you can't go on any other forum and post anywhere but here because this is where you posted first. But then that's just my opinion too......

:rolleyes:

Really!

What ever happened to free speach in America? There wasn't anything that I read that violated the rules of this site. Fred was simply asking questions and making his views known on the fact that RivertownUSA is basicly "buying" racers from GLRC by offering free racing. That's not competition, it's sabotage to both clubs.

But, whatever!

Rainn2378 - I don't see it hurting either club by him having free racing, because people will go race where they feel like. and if money is your only deciding factor then you chose the wrong hobby, that's for sure. And as far as posting here or there, I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't post anywhere but here, just take a little time to think what your saying before you submit it.

JohnDeereGreen - did I say it violated the rules, ummm No. And i'm not pinning this whole thing on Fred either. I just want the crap between the clubs to stop, and I'm not sure if you realize this or not but GLRC racers aren't the only racers around, besides if I would have to guess I would imagine that over 50% of as you call it "Our" racers are off-road and oval racers.

And about buying out racers, that's crap I think. Just as something to relate to this, I turned down a better paying job with more benefits than i have now doing the same thing. The reason was b/c I enjoy where I work at and the atmosphere. the same thing applies to this too, people will go where they are happy and comfortable, bottom line.

I do see it as hurting the club because there are people who don't have a lot of money and maybe they would like to not have to pay to race. That is what i am getting at. But i still stay it's stupid that if there is anything negative on any post over there or if you are someone he just doesn't like it can be deleted. It's bull. And one other thing. Money is a factor in anything you do. And in case you don't know who this even is. I don't race...hubby does....think about it.:wave:

Uhhhh, excuse me Mr. BrewedHa, but could you please point out where I stated anything about "our" racers??

Guess maybe I was wrong, but normal business practice isn't done by giving everything away. What if the place your employed by started giving away their product or services to create more work, and decided not to pay you anymore because they didn't have any income, would you STILL stay there??????


I would imagine that over 50% of as you call it "Our" racers are off-road and oval racers.

Ok guys I think that everyone has made there point so lets drop it. John Deere Green, I see you are new and we all know who each other are on here so who are you? By the way I am Jerrod

There's one point that everybody seams to have missed. Is it my observation that theres favorites being played here? i mean after all, since when is it that one club can announce free racing but not mention where its at? i even seen many people asking but didnt get an answer. the only way people found out is by special email or a private phonecall because there in the "click". so then why is it okay for one thread to make statements that adversley affect the other, but not have to divuldge where there at unless it was done to intentionally try and start trouble with the other? why do only certian peoples posts get wiped away when nothing was said wrong except the truth?

sounds to me like somebody heres playing favoritisim!

nuff said

wheres the man beating the horse?

You mean this? :D

Yeah, yeah, thats it

Kawadakid, think you will make it out one weekend?

Just got back from the track and all I can say is wholly crap!!!! It's going to be awesome. I can't wait for this weekend to roll around. I think we should rename the track to the intimidator after the 4' high camel back jump and the 4' high table top. You guys will stock trucks I feel for ya, there is no way you'll clear those jumps, but there are other sweet things too like the 6 jump rythm section and the monster air doubles on the back strech. Also can't leave out the "bowl" a 180 degree turn lined with a 4' high berm at a 60 degree angle. I wish I had a digital camera to get everyone pics but you will just have to take my word for it that it rocks!!!!!:thumbsup: :eek: :devil: :lol: :roll:

yeah, im racing if it doesnt rain.

Andy, Is dirt this weekend too?

hey there kid, just so ya know there will be
racing at the dirt track on sunday if the weather
permitts

Yes Steven, As long as the weather holds out there will be racing on Sunday, just check out the off-road post for directions or give me a buzz since you have my 2-way #

Hey OB1x - does the 1x stand for the number of times you wre pulled over by a bike cop while you were driving your car???????:eek: :eek: :eek: :lol: :devil:

What??

Did i hear that there may be gift certificates givin away again this year at the outdoor track for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place finishers of the "A" mains?


So, i gues you guys have the worst track, (and even has mountians), worst racers (not the "fastest and most experience racers in Michigan"), do you guys even use any type of scoring system? (i heard you had AMBr/c, and autoscore?) but at least you give an address!


the other place won't tell you were there at and i guess you can't race with them unles your one of those fasest and best, you must only be able to watch acording to the post.... "Please feel free to stop on out and check out the fun".

this is sooooooo confusing:(

hey there handy andy, thanks for bringing that up

sounds better not saying it was a motorbike cop.

you should specify so everyone knows

Did ya end up getting to race today? I suspected rain, and an hour drive for potentially nothin is no fun.

Yeah we got in the heats before we had to pack it up for rain.

For those of you needing help with your TC3 setup
talk with Mike, his car was dialed in today.
Kinda wish we could of run the mains, I believe
that I could have given him a decent challenge.

Whats the matter nitrorod do you feel like chump change.This post has not a thing too do with you. I don't recall you helping me with my car or my truck so sorry you think your chump change:wave: :D :D

Hi John,

Thanks!
-Rich

HAHA, Noodle-Rod.

What is a Noodle-Rod? Sounds kinda limpie

Hi Fred,

Thanks. I found a couple places in Michigan that sell pallet racks. I am waiting for call-backs from them.

How wide are your drivers stands? Are they two 8-foot wide sections?

-Rich

Rich, that would be comercial shelving or pallet
racks.

Rich - yes we use two 8' long sections, but three would be better if you have a full 10 cars in a race since the two sections can get pretty crowded.

Cool - Thanks. You guys wouldn't happen to remember how much you paid for them and where you got them from?

One place in Inkster is said the price won't "cost more than $1000." Say what?

-Rich

Rich,
I hate to say it but, a $1,000.00 sound about right.

I got them cheaper then that because I called in a favor.
I believe they came from Bay Equipment Company in Holland MI.

This may be off subject but what tires are you guy running. Last time I knew it was purples all the way around? I have a HPI Racer 2
