Fred, Steven.....

I have nothing against the all mighty Trinity car, after all, it's NOT a Trinity design, only a less expensive imitation of another manufactures product. And I myself prefer not to spend money to support Mr. Provetti. But Fred, I do hope you remember that parts are hard to find for that car!

Kawadakid I just thought I would try to get to you a bit. It will be intresting to see it run. After all it is always good to see new products. By the way I am just about ready to try out my new Mugen. Does that help you out.:wave:

Basicaly it was a direct rip from Kyosho. Just the reflex has lots of aluminum and graphite goodies.

Steven, I knew that much. I thought it would be something else though.
You and Dave will have to have you cars tuned well racing over at Terry's, good luck. Lean, very lean.

Lean is FAST.

So I know that Steven, Dave, Andy, and myself are going to Lansing to race at the MARS race this weekend. Are anymore GLRC members planing on going?

Fred Knapp
06-17-2002, 10:05 PM
Like, 295 degrees lean

KawadaKid
06-17-2002, 10:08 PM
Im not afraid about leaning my engine out. I have consulted my Engine Expert and he said it would be alright. I mean, i ran 5 laps faster in the main than all the foam guys on rubber, and my engine is still spewing oil. I just need some competition!

Couple of questions:

Will GLRC be racing at Rider's this weekend? I was hoping
to race sedan stock electric.

Is the following weekend (June 29) the next night race?

Thanks, Denney

You are right the 29th is our night race, and we run at Riders every weekend.

Hey Jerrod, When are you planning on leaving for the MARS race? And you too Steven? I was wondering if anyone wanted to ride with me to save on some gas. I'll most likely have to work all day so I won't be leaving until around 5:30-6:00pm on Friday. Drop me an email, buzz me on the nextel or post it here so we can figure something out.

nitrorod
06-18-2002, 10:52 AM
Andy,
I just receved friday off so I was planing to leave around noon. Can you get the afternoon off? If so I would love to car (or truck in our case) pool over there as I think the weekend is going to cost me a good chunk of change as it is. Let me know or buzz me on the Nextime

KawadaKid
06-18-2002, 12:04 PM
I dont care whether i ride with you or dave. Just as long as i get there. Anybody know daves number so i can call him? Two way perhaps?

I had planned on leaving at lunch time on Friday But I'm working on a project that has to go out for permits on Friday so I'll be stuck in the office until about 3pm. And I planned on having everything ready to go so when I got home just load it up and be on the road by hopefully 4pm.

brewha25
06-18-2002, 12:05 PM
Steven, I'll email you dave's number and two-way #

Do you have a different email besides the musician.net one Steven? That one doesn't seem to work.

KawadaKid

Hi!

I was wondering if I could get some info about your night races. I'm trying to plan out the MORL night race.

What time do you start your night races, how many entries, and when do you finish?

Also, I know a bunch of you are planning on coming out for the MORL night race in Ann Arbor on July 20th. Is there a finish time that is too late for you, since you have a long drive back to G.R.? Or, were you planning on staying the night in AA?

Thanks! :)

Oh, that's right. You are switching to a Mugen MTX-2 so you can be like me. :hat:

I don't think that there is a time that is to late for me at least (John may need a nap but the rest of us should be ok). If it gets to late we can all just crash at you place.:lol:

Rich, Nice job.
As far as turn out, we had maybe 15 people and we started about 8:30, but remember it was early in the season. I'm thinking if you have 50 or so people you may want to start earlier and run the last heat and the mains in the dark. Turn out is the biggest factor. Its only a two hour drive, so its no big deal for me what time it gets over.

I am going to agree with Nitrorod and Knapster on the time. It is not going to stop us from attending. I do have one question. Do you have any idea if I will be able to drive from the ground.


Thanks Dave.:wave:

Rich Chang

Nitrorod - I'll be sure to have a cot and nice fluffy pillow available for John at the track. :) If I could fit you all at my place, I'd let you stay!

Knapster - Thanks for the info! I spoke with Jim Rousseau (the guy who organized their night race last year) and they had the track set up by 3:00p, with racing starting at 6:00p. They were done by 11:30. That was with about 40 entries.

We had about 96 entries at the Canton MORL race and that took a little over 7 hours. So, maybe I'll start the racing at 4:00p. I imagine we won't have 96 entries this time, but I could be wrong. That will give us a good buffer, and if we have more time to spare, we can always start the mains at a little later time and give folks some practice time before the mains so that we race in the dark.

Dave - The track they had last year was 100x45, so it is smaller than the Canton track (128x72). It was actually really fun with the nitro cars. Driving from the ground hopefully will not be a problem since it is smaller. However, I am looking into some kinda of platform for you that you can get on and off easily. :)

Steven, I need to get directions to your moms place also, and I'll be leaving work around 3:30 and should have everything packed and ready to go by 4:30. You might want to pick up a 12 pack of pop or a couple two litres b/c I'm not sharing my beer with you. I'll also be bringing a big jug of water and some cups, hot dogs, and some chips too.

KawadaKid
06-20-2002, 07:33 PM
