Purple in the rear and double purples in the front

has anyone heard if the new black top is on the
way yet. last i heard was last week but with the
weather and all.

Thats right,with the weather and all.
No news is good news. I would think that it shouldn't
be to much longer.

Hi Fred,

I found a place in Detroit that has the pieces for cheap. The total would be $180. :) That was for 3 8-foot tall, 3 foot deep uprights and 4 8-foot long beams.

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.

Rich, now thats a deal you can't beat.:thumbsup:

knapster....

Isn't that one of those Gibson Les Pauls on your avatar? Is that a picture of yours????? Must be nice ;)

:dude:

J.D.Green,
Yea, mine looks just like that only different.:lol:

That's right; Great Lakes Racers Club is the home of the fastest, most fun group of R/C racers in west Michigan. We feature the AMB personal transponders with the AMB RC system, a hobby shop 20 feet away from the race track, economically priced traction additive (who wants to fork out over $100 just for VHT), and home of the #8 qualifier in the modified touring car A main of the 2001 Indoor champs and winner of the 12th scale mod B main (he beat Kinwald!)Jeff Brown, who also works at the hobby shop next to the track. We are also home of the Monster off-Road track located in Lowell, which some of our club members were so generous in building so we could have a place to roll around in the dirt. Come visit us at the track while picking up parts for your car, truck or whatever you race and have a great time with the Great Lakes Racers Club where we put the racers priorities ahead of our own.

Man you two need to go into advertising.:lol:

And must I say, what a dirt track that is. Its AWSOME!!! The surface is great for racing, and the big jumps make it tons of fun! Im looking forward to racing!

Wrong thread.

KawadaKid.....

Did I hear a rumor correct.... GS ??? BTW: What Knapster was in reference to was the off-road post should have been put over on the GLRC Standale thread. You have been there B-4, right??? If not, it's located in the Off-Road threads.

You gonna be at either track this weekend????

Lemme Know,
SeeeeeeeeYaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Not looking bad for this weekend!!

Saturday (24 hours): Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper 60s and lows in the mid 30s.

Sunday (24 hours): Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the upper 40s.

John,
With temperatures like that and with that much sun,
you should get a hat for your little old Avatar dude.:lol:

J.D. Green,
I know who you are now. Your that Guy that comes to the
track and marshals all the time. Yeah thats it, your
Super Marshal aren't you.

Fred JohnDeereGreen E-mailed me about a week ago and told me who he really is: Captain Practice.:p

yeah John, thats right. GS, Fioroni,medial pro,arrows, and hot parts. All in one. I posted that on this thread because it is in lowel, not standale. We need a lowel thread.

I need help from anyone willing, I need a 12x18x4 front diff bearing for a mugen seiki, I checked ryders, not in stock and it'll be $25 big ones for just one bearing.... any idea's

J.D.Greenie, as Captain Practice I don't think so.
I haven't seem him at the parking lot yet.

You might try "KawadaKid", he runs a Mugen, If you don't know who he is, bump me tomorrow and I'll give ya his name and Nextel number! If I remember anybody else that runs one I'll let ya know then

John :thumbsup:

looks like nitrorod has some inside info about GD Green, finally the cat was let out of the bag. Must have been some "issues" for him not to mention who he was for so long.

First he's into advertising, now he try's his hand at being a comedian, what's going on, you trying to find a different profession other than the one you already have or what?? Personally, I think you should have stayed on stage playing a guitar!! I'm jealous.

yeah but in defense that "old Avatar dude" knows a heck of a lot about making a shinny red Dakota look like a million bucks! And just wait and see what he has in store next for the little Mopar that could. can we say tri-color flames?????

Maybe you should paint it black and blue just like the st.Louis blues got after the whooping the redwings put on them :lol: :lol: :lol: 2-0

Has the new asphalt been installed yet? :D

So its starting to look like the consensus will be that
J.D.Greenie is Captian Practice.

I'm still not convinced, I'm still going to lean toward
Super Marshal.

Andy, good luck over at terrytown. I hope you qualify
in 3d place. he, he, he.

Aaron - no the new asphalt isn't in yet. From what I understand talking with John the other day the pavement people said that the existing stuff has to be at least 70 degrees or something like that before the new stuff can be put down. So hopefully if Mother nature is good to us here and we get a bit of a warm spell for a few weeks it can be put down.

things are looking better all the time! clear and warm for saturday, then a little rain to settle the dirt for sunday, couldn't ask for anything better;)

Saturday: Mostly sunny skies. High around 68F. Winds SW 15 to 20 mph.
Saturday night: Scattered showers during the evening, then skies turning partly cloudy overnight. Low near 47F. Light W winds. Chance of rain 30%.

Sunday (24 hours): Afternoon showers and thunderstorms likely. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the upper 40s.

I looked in my stuff, i dont have one of those bearings.

I hope our track looks like this one when we get the
parking lot repaved.

That is ONE SWEET TRACK!!!! We could only wish for something that nice. :)

Blondie....

You could only "wish" for a track like that??? Hey, all it takes is money. What we should be wishing for is the correct numbers for the lottery, then we'd have an establishment like that. Inddors and out!!! Now THAT would be awesome, oh yeah!!

Looks like it'll be a great weekend for racing in the G.R. area!!


FROST/FREEZE ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT
Friday night: Crystal clear skies. Low around 35F. Calm winds.

Saturday: Mostly sunny skies. High around 66F. Winds SW 5 to 10 mph.

Saturday night: A few showers ending early with clearing later at night. Low near 45F. Calm winds. Chance of rain 40%.

Yeah, and running on it only makes it worse. That is an amazing track. It was the only time that I've been on a track at midnight and it was still sticky.

God, if only I had run something other than HPI car.........:mad:

later.........

We WILL have a track like that and next to it a great dirt track also...all in good time.

Word Bill,

That track was something else. Im kinda cheesed that all the entries for gas nats are filled!! Darn, maybe next year.

Well, when my blonde hair turns gray, maybe then we will have one like that in our area. LOL!!!:lol: ;) :lol:

yeah no doubt, unless someone has about $250g's it's going to be just a dream. That track looks too LARGE to even run 1/10th scale nitro on but hey I only came 5 numbers out of 6 away from winning the big game lotto the other week

Say, what???

If memory serves me correct, the straightaway is something like 250' feet long! To small for 1/10th scale????

When I was their two years ago most 10th scale cars seemed to run out of motor on the straightaway. That is one great place to race.

Even with a two speed tranny set up to shift really late, my nitro tourer still couldnt stretch that strait out.

Come on Fred that is one more thing we need to haul in the trailer.:D

Dude, I'm not talking about that wooden thing. I was looking at the track set-up.

Geeezzzzzzzzzeeeeeee.......

I was hoping that it wasn't the wooden thing you were in reference to as well!! We could do one like that, but I'd prefer to see it constructed out of PVC pipe.


But, I have however been looking at the lane dividers, and at this point can't decipher exactly how the're built and out of what. Any insight from your views???

:thumbsup:
:dude:
:rolleyes:

We used a similar setup for the transponder loop last year for Canton Riders. It was made out of small diameter PVC pipe. The problem was that the longer the span, the more it sagged in the middle. Also, as others have mentioned, it is something more to haul around (especially if it is in one long section).

For our first race yesterday we tried something different. We put the loop on the ground. We are using these polypropelene strips at corners and such. We have a few extra of the long strips, so we placed one strip in front of each of the transponder segments. This was all then taped down.

No one seemed to mind since it didn't seem to upset any of the cars as they went over. If someone had their car too low, then they found out real quick to raise their car up.

And, the great thing is that they protected the loop. :)

Jerrod - Did you end up buying a load of spec tires? If so, I probably owe you some $$, let me know either way.

Thanks, Denney Barlage

John, I happen to know first hand what those lane dividers are. I ran on that track last year at the HPI Challange. It is made up of PVC and fire hose.

Yeah, the rest is just paint.

If you folks want some of the polypropelene strips we use on the Canton track, let me know. We ended up with a lot of extra strips.

Thanks Rich,
How much are you looking to get out of them?
