you're such a good advertiser Fred. Keep up the good work. One of these days we will get out there to see a Saturday race and see what it is all about. Sounds like you guys have fun.:roll:

Thanks for the kind words Blondie.

Fred......


Have you not been getting the mail I've sent you??? Just curious since I didn't get anything back from either one! Anyway, no big deal. Just checking :)

Hi Fred,

It's $25 for 13 strips (basically one sheet = 13 strips). The strips are 12 feet long. For the Canton track, I left 5 in long form, and then cut all the rest in half so that they are 6 feet long.

How much are you looking to get out of them?

John,
I haven't seen any email from you. You may have to try it again.

What ever happened to that Green dude anyway.

Here's a link to a poll if anyone is interested.

Well, since it appears that I'm looking like the "Flameout King" I may have to. I need somebody that's knowledgeable that can tune it so I can at least finish a five minute race!!

Fred....
If you want some REAL competition, come to Terry's track and race against me for FREE!!:wave:

Huh... The apl has fallen from the tree, or has he returned? Haven't heard anything out of you on here in forever. I see you have your old "secretary" back to work for you and she is posting for you again.

And what is this? A track where you can race for free? Where the heck is this one?

Is this referring to me? I didn't post that for him, I thought you did. Hhhhmmmmmm??????

Hey Apl-Hed call me around noon or after 5pm today since I can't answer my phone at work.

Blondie....

From what I've read on the other tracks thread, it's free racing BUT you have to make a donation to pay for the vht additive!!

From the refrenced thread....
It was also decided that racing would be “No Charge” to race as long as the tip bucket could pay for the VHT. So far no problem and I will keep everyone informed about how the expense for VHT is on each Saturday we race.

Hmmm.. I suppose you could read that if you had the mind too. BUT in my mind theres a big difference between "you have to" and "as long as". IMHO it is a voluntary donation, and I'm pretty sure mad ravening bikers are not patrolling the lot strong arming donations.

Just the facts mam.. As I see fit to use them...

Mike Slaughter

Omega... No, I don't think so. Last I knew, you posted for Apl. Has that changed? Does he have a computer or is someone new doing it?:confused: :confused: :confused:

Oh my... Seems like a few of you have issues about the "track" thing? Sorry I asked that question. Didn't know I would get such an overwhelming respnonse. I don't understand what is going on, but I can feel that something isn't right. I am new to all this, and I don't think I even want to know. (It is better to stay out of it and be innocent.) I am sure whatever the conflicts are between these two tracks will dissipate in time. Let's just all get along.:D :wave:

Fred... I understand about all the financial obligations that the club has to be responsible for. My post was innocent, and had nothing to do with who is racing at who's club. So, in light to my last post, it meant nothing , but apparently it meant everything to a lot of people. I never meant to upsent anyone. It was only a friendly challenge. :)

In response to the donations at terry's track, we have a few diehard racers that have decided to pay for the vht so any one who comes to the track to race wont have to pay anything, we just want to have a good time and RACE. Im hoping that some racers will come and race with me as I am going to race at GLRCC as well, as soon as I get my car dialed in. See yall on the assphalt. peeeeese out!!!!!

Fred,

Did you guys still want those polypropelene strips?

I know you folks bought the AMB software, but we purchased Alycat ($175!) and have really like it. Something to maybe check out in the future. Not sure how the AMB software has been working out for you?

-Rich

Rich,
The AMB has been working great now that we figured out how to use it. As far as those strips go I'd like to have them. Just have to figure out when and how to get them. Maybe at the Hobby Hub race?

Sure! Or, if anyone from G.R. happens to come to the first MORL race (6/2) they are welcome to take them back to you. That way you can use them on your outdoor track, too.

-Rich

Ok, Thanks Rich.
I'll check it out and maybe I could send a check with whoever.

Well, Fred.... I'd be impressed with myself if I could get up to the junior level. But at the moment, I'll have to be satisfied with my novice status!!!

Fred I thought that we put an age limit in place to stop persons with AARP cards from taking up all the mentors time.:wave:

What??? This club refuses to assist the elderly? I think I smell a discrimination lawsuit!!! Either that, or I may be forced to give ya a lump or two above the shoulders with my cane!!

Hey now NoodleRod, Old people arent so bad. I should know, I live with Father Time!

Hay Gramps, take a chill pill.
Our representatives are currently assisting other customers and your estimated wait time is 13 days.

Jerrod,
You are correct in that we do check birth certificates, but because of the special nature of this case we may have to consider the implementation of a special education program.

Special Education? Hmm.. I know you guys bought a school bus to store your track stuff -- I bet you bought the SHORT bus? :D

The funny part about the bus is. That he not only rides it he drives it. Now that is scarry.:D

Believe me it was!

Sunday, May 12th (Mothers Day)

Happy Mother's Day!!


I've been thinking about something and have decided to post it this morning. We've all been reading the different types of track advertisements for the Grand Rapids area. I however feel that there's been an important issue overlooked that I'd like to address.

It's the dedication we've received from our members and racers. Most importantly, it comes down to those that support the club of their choice. I for one have noticed that our loyal racers at GLRC have continued to stay with us despite having to endure a lousy asphalt surface at the moment, and the use of our fire hose for lane dividers. I want to express my sincere gratitude to all those of you who show up early to get everything setup, and stay after racing to help us pack up. Yesterday was a wonderful example of dedication. In the pouring rain, we had no less than 12 people helping pack and load the trailer. And, there were at least two people that were soaking wet that didn't even race. Now, that's the definition of total club support!!!


My appreciation goes out to each and every one of you for your support, dedication and hard work.

John Warner

i am searching for glrc member dave woepper i think the spelling is correct if any one can help me i would be thankful . the g-man tried to help me but no luck so greg directed me here

Well, after saturdays performance I'd be impressed if I were you.

Zoffy - You almost had the spelling right, I know Dave and if you want you can email your name, phone number and email address and I can pass it along to him. Also include what it is you need to get ahold of him about. And since you know the G-Man can you pass him a little message for me? Tell him Bad Andy says hi and can't wait to race with him again.

my email address: amc22577@yahoo.com

Fred...... Thank you for the kind words. Now, if only I can figure out how to get some traction I'm going to try and give you some competition!!


BrewHa...... I've already taken care of Zoffy, He made a trade at R&L's with Dave the other evening, and left something in Dave's truck.

John, as for myself, all I can say is that it was fun at the top of the heap while it lasted. I think this club has some very good drivers making there presence knowen. With drivers like Mike Slaughter whom easily took the TQ saturday, OB1 challenging that and APL HED in there as well, this may turn into quite a spectacle this summer.

Hey John, here's a link to the set up I was using. It's pretty much the same as what Mike is using...

Hope this helps.........

later.........

Thanks Bill!

I downloaded the sheet, and at the moment have the car totally disassembled on the table. It appears to have suffered some damage during the landing after my 5 foot triple pirouette with the 1 1/2 gainer at the end of the straight-away. I can't imagine why!!!


ThankX again.

Dont count me out fred! As soon as i get the parts i need for my mugen im pretty sure i can hang with those guys.

Steven,
I'm not counting you out, as a matter of fact just the opposite. I'm counting on you to get your mugen together so that you are hangin with those guys. The more top drivers, the better the show not to mention the fun.

Alright you guys, I just put new front and rear foams on the mugen and did a little more tweakin on the set up.... Now i'm gonna kick butt this sat.... hope the rain stays away....

Uh-Oh, am I reading some smack talk??? Well, I also added some newer rubber, changed the front springs to white, changed the rears to red, replaced the pistons with #3's at all four corners, put some 60# in the front and 40# in the rear. Changed the ackerman back to std, put 9 degrees of caster and 2 degree camber up front, gave it 6mm of ride height with 4mm droop, moved the shocks to the inner holes and..... well, let's put it this way..... It'll either work better or it won't work at ALL!!!

Smack back at ya, so there!!

Opps, almost forgot..... Now, if only I can talk Barry Baker into coming to GR and DRIVING my car, I'd have a chance!!!!!!!!!

Man, reading at the BS on the "other" really makes me laugh!!!

Go ahead a laugh J.D.G.. Just don't ask me to put primer on our track.

I know who JohnDeereGreen is................................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .........................All I can say is his initials are............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..............DW.:wave:

NitroRodent, D.W. you say??? Huuuummmmmm, that's pretty interesting, now if only I can add a name to those initials!!

Wow, reading all the adjustments you made was making me tired.
all I did was change tires, camber F/R, plus a little toe in...
I just have one question, how are you going to know which changes were good and which were bad?......
oh yeah, and I don't need no pro to drive my car:devil: :devil:

Hey Johnny boy, who is in charge of the glrc web site? cuz it has been on idle for a long time......(maybe some new pics or race results from on or offroad)
just a thought...
Mr. Clean

How do I know??? Well it's simple, their ALL good! It's called experience!!! (that's an advantage of being old and racing for many years) After all, what I started with was the box factory setup which was quite weak.

Jeff B. maintains our website, and has had his computers down for quite some time now. Hopefully he'll get them back up and running soon!

Vintage Person.
(been around long enough to be back in style!)

"It's called experience!!! (that's an advantage of being old and racing for many years)"

As much as John left the door wide open for that one I will let it slide since I am familiar with the track John Busted a$$ on in Florida. For all of you who aren't old enough to remember( and don't worry John b/c I'm including myself in this old people slam) Lake Whipporwil. Hopefully spelled somewhat right. Otherwise known as "the Whip" for what it did to your car if it wasn't set-up right. It sometimes took an uneventful splash into the back strech lake and it was all over but the snorkeling.

Can you get any hop-ups for that Nitrorodent?
