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

How many D.W.'s are there? I can think of two. I live with one of em, and I know for a fact it isn't MY D.W., so that leaves only one (that I can think of). Hmmmmmmm? Is it....... Da........ ?????? Am I on the right track? :confused: Or is there yet another D.W. that I am missing? Or did Nitro put us on the wrong track with the initial thing?

Its dave woleper <sp?>...from what i have heard.

This tip just came in.

If you throw the D out this could mean something.

I think it is Jared Glover. I was just told that his middle name starts with a D.

Knapster..... I just talked to Jerrod (he's in Lima, Ohio) and he contends that his middle initial is "S", as in Scott. We'll have to wait till he gets back and take a look at his drivers license :)

Blondie....... I can think of at least three..... your Doug, Dave (Wally) and the other Dave. Gee, I think I've seen this before on a television show!

Andy....... not to correct your spelling, but it's Lake Whippoorwill.

Well, the weather is beginning to look better for Saturday. I also recieved some phone calls today and this evening from some of the Lansing racers. Their going to be joining in our festivities tomorrow, imagine that!!

Well, the weather wasn’t to bad. It was a bit chilly out there but it made for a less sweaty set up. We did however have a great time racing with lots of competition. There were nine gift certificates awarded in the electric and nitro classes, courtesy of Riders Hobby shop. Thank you to everyone for the quick tare-down.

Well Knapster, i agree with you. i had a grate time yesterday. you guyz are a fun bunch to race with. its a real shame thers so much smoke and mirrors going on at the meijers track. i was there to or thre times yesterday, and what was posted on there thread is nothin but propiganda. thay haven't had any racin yet, jest practice. and thay was gone by 1:00!

Hey JohnDeerGreen,
Thats all real nice, but now I'm not sure who you are again. If you were racing with our club, when did you have the time to go check out TTUSA? Well I believe this rules out Dave and Jared. I do however have the list of entires from yesterday, so this will narrow the scope of the search somewhat.

gee i am so sorry i, didn't know i was bein graded. just when i was thikin yall was a bunch a nice guyz.

Well with all the free stuff that Terry is offering it is getting interesting. I think if he throws in free pop and popcorn I might have to give it a shot. Maybe he will even start grilling hotdogs and they will be free also. After all you can do that kind of stuff when you have a tent to race under.:D :D

I Think that what it says?

Wow guys, I just read through some of your threads, and I have to congratulate you on your persistance. You went through the ringer and come out okay. Great job.

But it was well worth it! But believe me when I say it took many, many people all pulling together to make it happen!!

After all, one of our clubs basic requirements is having fun. Isn't that what a hobby is supposed to be all about??

Hey... guess what???? I finally have the okay to send for my AARP card! I'd put together a "Team AARP" but we'd only have a couple of members. I think it would only be two now that I come to think of it, Butch and myself!

Maybe we could start a new nitro class for those 40 and over??? Maybe even 35 and older??


LoL!! ;)

Ok... I am gonna ask and be the blonde that I am... What does AARP stand for? I understand it has something to do with being "Mature".:D LOL But seriously, clue me in.

American Association of Retired Punks.

:D

:lol: LOL!! :lol:

My dad would run the old guys nitro class. He got his car this week. Its almost done.

Whats the story with the racing...? Foam or Rubber..?

All of the fast guys run foam however we do run a rubber class as well. We also have some AARP racing types for your dad in the nitro class.

I have run both and think that I prefer the rubbers to the foam. Prehaps it was the set-up of my car is better for rubber.

What kind of turn out do you get for rubber..?

Bobby....

Rich Chang called me earlier this evening and said you and he as well as some others were thinking of coming to race with us this weekend. I was telling him that quite a few of us were going to be going to the race in Canton on the 2nd. He told me that he has the Sorex tires available for that first race. so.... If in fact you guy's do make the trip this Saturday, make sure he brings plenty of them with him. I'm sure ther'll be others besides myself wanting to buy them to run the spec class in Canton, and we might as well run a class of them here in Grand Rapids!!

John

whatup racer dawgs?? wheres yall at? the last post waz last night!


Cya

:dude:

Team AARP,
Did you happen to see where RT may have some scouts over checking things out? I think that would be a cool experiance for them not to mention the residuals. Wished thay did neat stuff like that when I was a scout, better than tying knots.

Knapster...

Well, I didn't until I read your post. And I must agree, because when I was in the scouts everything we ever did was somewhere in the woods, like building fires, tents and so forth!

AARP... doesn't that really stand for
"Associated's Advanced Racing Program"???

Newsflash!!... I think I finally have a solid idea who JDG is. :thumbsup:

No, No.
It should be Avanced Accomplice Racing Program.

Are you sure it isn't this one??

Advanced Alzheimer's Recovering Patient

Yea yea, Thats it!

John, Did Rich give you a price on those tires? and will he have some HPI inserts (reds-blues), or do we need to bring our own rims and inserts?

so who is it john?!?!?!

Fred - I stopped by Riders yesterday to find out how many tires they have. They were out of the 40s and 36s, but they have ordered more.

The tires are $12 a pair. The rims are $6 for 4 Schumacher rims. The inserts (HPI reds) are $5 a pair. Those prices include tax.

If you all can let me know how many sets you need, I will have Riders set them aside.

-Rich

Uh, oh. The Grand Rapids posse is planning to make an appearance on the 2nd at Canton. Looook out! :D

I know I'm scared.

It should be a really good turnout then...and we might have more than a couple of nitro heats...now we just need to convince Rich into running 30 minute mains. Yeah, boy!

Not only is the "Grand Rapid's Possee" going to be there, but ALL of us will be running nitro!! Me personally, I'd like to run the spec class and the foam class. I believe a few others would like to as well. Hopefully we'll have 10 or more making the trip! So...... beware :devil:

Hi John,

Glad you all are able to make the trip! I mentioned in the MORL thread that I have no problem having a nitro TC foam tire class. The class just needs 5 cars. :) So, sounds like that shouldn't be a problem, especially if the folks from the other G.R. track show up.

I'll ask Fred to bring some of their KA Tire Glue to sell at the track. I've found it to be the best tire glue out there.

-Rich

hey john
regarding the canton race that we are supposed to attend.
i think that is the same day as an offroad race in lowell and if so should we move that race back a week.
just a thought, let us know cause mr. clean and i will be attending the canton and there will be no one in town to run the dirt race
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

John,
Do you plan on doing the night race even though we may get rained out for the day time racing?

Ob-1... Personally, I think maybe we should move it back a week since most all of us will be going to Canton, and there wouldn't be anybody to race or run the races!.

Well, It may have been a little wet at times and it surely was cold all the time, but we had fun the whole evening. Tonight was our kick off of racing under the lights and while the turn out was light, we sure made the best of it. Thanks everyone including spectators for sticking around to help get the track picked up fast.

So what does eveyone want to do for car pooling to Canton this Sunday? I can drive and my car has room for 4 so anyone want to car pool? Anyone have a better idea?

Nitrorod... Your car has room for four? I didn't think your Yugo would hold that many people!!

Hey!, we could always take the clubs bus. It'll carry 84 passengers, well if we put the seats back in it would, but the way it is now, everybody would have to sit on milk crates!!


Oh, J-Rod.... sorry :( about shooting a dead guy. Next time, put your gun down!!

Can any of you Grand Rapids guys (or anybody, really) give me the foam tire of choice for nitro
sedan ?

I prefer treadz, 40s in the rear and 42s up front. So far they seem to wear the best. When these aren't available I run TRC plaids up front and purples in the rear. I used to be a fan of Jaco but the last couple of sets have had some gluing issues (these are the new ones in the nifty cardboard box) I have had them start to seperate at the seams and also pull away from the rim at the edges. Both the Jacos and Treadz use a softer, more pliable rim that appears to be a little easier to drive, compared to the stiffer TRC wheel.

But, alas this is the internet and so these are just my opinions so take them for just that.

Mike Slaughter

Oh one more thing. In colder temperatures (anything below 65ish) I dope both front and rears full width with my NTC3.

Mike,
Thanks for your reply. Do you mail order or buy local ?

Barry.....

Mike buy's local from Rider's Hobby Shop. (but of course, he also works there!)

Oh, hey Kicky....

Talked to Don at Associated today and the new wheels are in. As soon as Barry Baker finishes testing them to be sure their up to standard, they'll be on the way along with my new motor and a replacment shaft for the NTC3.
