You guys take things to personal. Personally I could care less if I race at one track and I am not anouther. I will most likely go to the one with the most racers. The more the better. If you dont like someone don't go there it's that simple. If you don't want to go to rivertown race at glrc. If you don't want to race at glrc then go to Rivertown. I'am sick of people going "we are not racing in grandrapids because its like a soap opera" WHO REALLY CARES. Just go to the track you liek better. We haven't change we haven't got any meaner or swear more we just race at different places. If you like glrc but rivertown has better carpet then DEAL WITH IT. don't dis us and say we are on DAYS OF OUR LIVES. How would you like it if i said "I'am not going to detroit because some guy yelled at some guy" NO I WILL SUCK IT UP AND GET SOME _ _ _ _ _ and go the the track. If you went to a bar that had a fight and it was the only bar in 20miles don't you think that you would go back, i know i would and i'd be ready to fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what is this carpet laying party? i know i am a little behind. what time is it starting at?

Hey JJPP
and as far as what I think all the BS has stoped and people are racing and having fun I would like it if everybody would just stop and race and leave all the BS in the past and race and have fun and stop crying about who did what and who is in the wrong

Thanks Slim

John - you didn't get an entry? That sucks! Who is Kawadakid anyways? Is that Steven or your son?

btw: are you going to head down and watch the mains on Sunday? That should be worth the trip! :-)

It is Steven! AJ runs A TC3!!!!

Actually rich, Slim Shady is johns son, I am Steven Stewart. I am surprised u remember me.lol Hope ya stop by soon and see our new.

New Track that is. My bad

Aj, just wait until im done building ur Kawada. I will expect it to be faster than ur flexy flyer tc3. I might be able to get the narrow chassis too Ü

Well, the bed is calling and i answered. Good bye all

XxdwidxX- The carpet laying is tommorow night (Wed.) and I imagine most of us will be there by 6pm.

Slim and Kawadaboy - you two trade cars or something? :-) Yep, Steven, I remember you -- and your dad!

I am hoping to make it out to the grand rapids tracks sometime this year! Are you folks still going to run foams after Cleveland, or will you be switching to rubber tire?

Hope you can make it out here to AA to one of the JCC (Jackson Community College) races. It is run by a new crew (the folks that run Hobbie Hideaway). Talk about a huge track! They race there once a month -- oval on the outside, road course in the inside. Lots of fun!

Hey Brewha- you may wanna hold off on the carpet party. I was talking with fearless leader at the track tonight and he said we may hold off for about a month. Dont know if he told ya yet or not, and not sure if he's still gonna wait. You know fearless leader! http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/rolleyes.gif http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/biggrin.gif:

hey john would u like some help tomorrow night??


BAD ANDY what a jump!!! 29.5 ft

Actualy Rich, i swtiched back to kawada and did pretty good the end of last year and AJ got rid of his. i now have enough parts to last me a lifetime. i could probably build five of them, lol. U bet we will be running foam after cleveland, though we will have a rubber class.
Speaking of cleveland, I was interested if u were going Rich? Since i am the only one from my club going this year, my motor man is out, and im by my self with my pops. I cant come down the day of practice becouse of my mother dear, and i was gunna ask u if you could do me a favor and sign me in and pick up my motors before they think im not coming. if you are going and could do that Rich, i would greatly apreciate it Ü.

Well, let me know. Thanx!
Steven S.

The carpet party has in fact been canceled for tomorrow evening. We've decided to wait until the new Ozite arrives and lay it behind the driver's stand to create a second track, only larger than the present one we're using now.

The original intentions were to re-lay the existing track parallel to the pit area, and form a hub around the scoring tower that could support up to four completely separate tracks. Instead I think for now we'll go with the existing layout, add the second opposite the drivers stand when the new carpet arrives and add a third track specifically for the 1/18th scale cars also in front of the pit's.

John

Where'd everybody go???? Been awfully quiet in the past few days!! http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/smile.gif http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/smile.gif http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/smile.gif http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/smile.gif

Hey Johnny Boy! I'll be at the track tonight to rebuild the car and practice. Don't forget my batteries and tray!

Hi Steven,

Yep, I'm going. I'll sign you up and grab your motor as long as I remember. :-)

Thanx so much Rich. U might not have to becaouse my motor man, or as john likes to cal him, my "pit bitch", might be coming after all. I will have to keep in touch and let ya know. Thanx very much, Steven S.

HEY JOHNNY BOY!!! Don't forget the batteries and tray! I'll be at the track saturday afternoon sometime. http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/biggrin.gif

All I can say is..... Holy cow!! 42 entries for Stadium tonight, where are all of you coming from??? And it hasn't even snowed yet this season!

Ok Rich, i guess u wont have to pick up my motors, it looks like i have a pit bitch! Thanx very much for the offer thow. Why dont ya come up soon? i heard a rumer that the first of the factory guys are gunna be here next week! Well, i will talk to u later.Thanx!

John, very good racing this weekend, i commend u on a great show. I also liked that little guitar concert....lol. I would apreciate it very much if you could buff thos scratches out and bring it tuesdayÜ. Thanx john, ttyl.

Well guy's, (and gal's) all I have to say is.... what a weekend! I have to thank all of you that came out and participated. With a total of 84 entries for this weekend, I must admit it was much more than we expected. Can't wait to see the turnouts when the bad weather gets here!

And to the many of you that won the 15 club Tee-shirts, the total of $100.00 Cash plus the $75.00 in gift certificates, we hope you enjoy your winnings!!

Also.... the list is filling up fast for your personal AMB transponders. we should have 40 or more on order by the end of next weekend. The new windows software will arrive Monday or Tuesday, and we'll be testing it throughout the week.

Be sure to stay on top of the posts at the 1/18 scale thread, with 18 of the BRP cars as well as all of the HPI cars already in the hands of racers at the club this new class looks like it'll be even more fun than we imagined.

Once again..... Thanks to all of you!!!
John

steven i never asked but what happend in the main.

well, i didnt want to hurt ur guy's feelings, so i just stayed out.....actualy i dead shorted my batteries, lol. A simple mistake, but a costly one. I think my Kawada had a chance with u guys too! i out qualified ur run with that comeleon! but, allass, my batteries failed me, or i failed them......either way i lost. So thats what happend. lol.
cya

that comeleon motor wasnt very fast my stock motors were alot faster.I only got one real run with 4 jamed bearings.which i didnt run the next race.the one race there was only two of you out there.but you might havve had a chance.lol

oh, i had a chance alright.

John what is the price for the personal transponders?

how much are the personal transponders?

The personal transponders are $49.00 each from AMB.

Well, the new windows version of our software is here! It's very, very different than what we're used to using to say the least. It talks, (that's right, it talks)it has pictures, it plays sounds, it's totally awesome http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/smile.gif

Does it get MTV? http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/biggrin.gif

MTV.... Ya http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/rolleyes.gif But it will operate the scoreboard http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/smile.gif

Update..... We just recieved the "new process" soft sided polymere borders today! Their 3" X 3" X 10', just like the other stuff we used to use, but won't create as much damage since their made of the flexible material. Really nice!! We'll be using them THIS weekend.

John

Hey all you racers there in GR. If your racing the 1/18th class, check out the mini racers forum on hobby talk. Lots of good info for your BRP 1/18th cars and others. http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/smile.gif

HEY JOHN THE PRINTER WE HAV ISNT WORKING. SRY. DONT FORGET THE STOCK MOTOR OR MOTORS FOR ME SATURDAY. IN CASE MINE DECIEDS TO ACT STUPID AGAIN.
WELL SEE YA SATURDAY

I know you don't need me to pick up your motor, but do you still need me to register you?

If so, what is your last name?

-Rich

The above post was to KawadaKid (Steven).

Man- Gettin kinda slow around here!

Slow????? I agree!! But then again, I guess since it's almost turkey day, everybody's getting their work done.

Announcement.... The fourth race has now been added to the CRL leagues schedule. It will be in Lansing.

Also, I was at the club last night (monday) until 2:30am watching the Cleveland warm-up "closed door" sessions and might I say that there's some pretty darn fast cars and drivers that were there testing. Team Schumacher has their new single belt car working really good, but don't count out last years winner Billy Easton or any of the rest of the Team Associated drivers! Even on our slightly larger layout that was used at another local track Sunday, I seen many 9.4 laps being laid down!!! Sure wish I could go and at least watch the A-mains run.... should prove to be another exciting finish
John

Nope rich, dont need ya to get anything or sign in for me, im all set. Thanx thow!
