StEvEn....... Dave has with him, (6) battery packs, (8) Great Lakes Racers stickers, the generator and the Turbo30.

FrEd....... How's it going with your non-instructional equipped Trinity product??

AnDy....... I like the new handle, I (not to be blowing my own horn) figured it out almost instantly! But that didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, after all, Dakota, Phat, and location... Hooters, GR!!! Had to be nobody else but YOU!

JeRrOd...... Don't forget to drop off that new "unbreakable" NTC3 bumper to Rider's. Have them put it in Tyrones box.

To ThOsE oF yOu GoInG tO lAnSiNg........
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU, and most of all.... have FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I don't have a cd player or anything to bring, but if I were you I would bring and extra 6-way extension cord. I don't think that 4 people can pull off of 8 outlets (1 6way and the two extra outets on the generator's cord) I need 4 just for myself.

And to Jerrod and Steven, DON'T FORGET TO BRING A LIGHT!!! I forgot mine last time and after about 9:30 it gets kinda hard to work on your car.

Thanks for the reminder about the light andy. I have a 6 way power strip with me also.

KawadaKid
06-21-2002, 11:12 AM
I dont have a power strip here, so if any of you guys have extras, please bring them along!! Cya tonight Andy!

Phat Dakota
06-21-2002, 11:47 AM
I think that 2 6-ways should be enough for all of us. That will give each of us three outlets plus the one leftover on the generator.

Well, after debuting my Reflex I have an idea we may see more of them on the track in the future. While I did'nt win the A main do to a glow plug problem this car is a winner. 2nd place was a great finish when I walked of the stand with 3 minutes remaining.

06-22-2002, 11:09 PM
fred;
i will give this much you did do an excelent job with the new car, however, i called the race and brian did take second.
i finally have figuered out the reason for my problems,a con rod bushing going away for the last three weeks and it finally blew up today. luck for me i had a spare at home.
john i'm glad tc3's took 1st and 2nd today, comgrats on the win.
see you all next week for the night thing?

John Warner
06-22-2002, 11:35 PM
Okay, lemme see if I have this correct....

Associated NTC3....... #1 top finisher, AND 2nd place as well!!

Trinity Defex........ #3rd place finish.

So overall, starting this week the official score is NTC3 "2" & Defex "0". Is this possible???? :rolleyes:

Oh, did anybody mention that the first place finisher left his trusty 3PJS radio at home, and ended up using a KO Propo MARS that had all the stock default settings still in place???? (seems the poor guy knew nothing about how to change the settings on that KO!)

:wave:

Just got back from Lansing and had more fun today than I've had in a long time racing. The FrankinLosi pulled out an amazing 3rd place finish in the 4wd A-main after qualifing 4th. I finished behind AL Horne who won and GLRC's own Ken Kennedy. Ken also won the Stock Buggy A-main from the 5th qualifing spot and won the Mod Buggy B-main also. Well I'm off to bed, See ya guys at the night race next saturday!:wave:

O.K. When I ask whom would recieve the 3rd place gift certificate you said, Oh that would be Brian Jackson. So in light of the forgoing that would make it.
1. Associated
2. REFLEX
3. Associated
However if Pete Helmer would have finished the race it would be.
1. REFLEX
2. REFLEX
3. Associated

fred fred fred fred! what are we going to do with you? complemented the new car, told you did a great job and you still think and i do mean think that you took second. you didn't, so get over it. as far a team partner, well i don't know if saw what i saw but pete h. didn't get a clean start so he pulled his car. after all the race is won going around the first corner right?, especially when it's a 15 min race!. so let's recap:


ntc3 1st,2nd and 4th
reflex 3rd and 5th


hey rico shea! wuz up with you?
pete didn't hack anybody to bad this weekend but did blow my motor up. almost fixed so maybee i'll be there for next weekend?

Rumor has it that you woke up with a little "headache" Saturday morning, any truth to this story???? Inquiring minds want to know!!

KawadaKid
06-23-2002, 02:56 PM
No, cuz i never really went to sleep. I was just tired. No sickness.

John Warner
06-23-2002, 03:20 PM
Steven, it's wasn't sickness that I heard about. Unless of course you take into consideration "canned" sickness! (as in the brew variety)??

John Warner
06-23-2002, 06:14 PM
Well then, I guess the R/C hotline is letting me down because I understand there was some "Mike's Hard Iced Tea" involved Steven!!! It's okay, you can fess up, we all know the truth anyway!!! Those hidden micro-cameras don't lie!

IT......IS......NOT...AN.....ANIMAL, IT IS A FRANKENLOSI!!!!!!!!:eek: Good job Andy with the frankenlosi Now you just need a brighter body so you can see it when we are running in the last main of the night and it is hard to see, and if you can hold it on the track maybe a 10 or a 9 turn for that Frankenrocket:thumbsup:

nitrorod
06-23-2002, 07:51 PM
Yeah the FrankenLosi was balistic but I don't think the spur gear could handle a 9 or 10 turn.:lol:

Well it would appear that some of us have a tough decision to make for the next MORL and MARS race, which one to go to. I love both forms of racing so I am on of the people that need to make this decision. Some of us have been thinking that it is possible to do both. We think that if we go to the Mars race in Brooklyn and leave just after our main that we could run to Ann Arbor and make the last qualifier and the main for MORL. My first question is does anyone think that we could make it? Mapquest said it is 38 miles and 1 hour 12 min. (man they drive slow) from track to track on US-12. Second, would you mind if we showed up for only one qualifier and the main?

It sounds like you've already made your decision.

John Warner
06-23-2002, 10:10 PM
Steven..... I believe that I was referring to R/C stuff. After all, you were at a MARS race, am I not correct???

Jerrod....... I guess if I were you, I'd base my decision on which one of the series races you have the best chance of doing good in. Or even which one you decide that you like best!

Fred...... I do hope you realize that Pete G. and I are only teasing with you. I know your happy with your new Kyosho knock-off, and I don't blame you. After all, it's a great design, and far superior to that antiquated thing you were driving! So, don't get your undies in a knot!

Bill D......... Have you in fact given up R/C racing??

John Warner
06-23-2002, 10:23 PM

Hmmm... It's not entirely impossible.... Have to see which way the wind blows this weekend.......;)

John Warner
06-24-2002, 03:44 PM
Well, guess what..... I've sold my TC3 (elect) and now have possession of a nice new T3 with all the upgrades. Now if only I can figure out what to do with it!!

Also, check out the track layout on the MORL thread (http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/attachment.php?postid=174225)for the next points race, which will be a night race under the lights at Pioneer High school in Ann Arbor. Looks pretty sweet to me!! Maybe we should set something similar up for our night race this coming weekend????

John Warner
06-24-2002, 03:48 PM
Well, I certinally hope you haven't! And I'm sure I'm not just speaking for myself. Besides, who would I have to pick on about sunburns, suntan lotion and such?????

BTW: I hope the wind is blowing a little this weekend, this way maybe it won't be so hot!!

John, thanks for the complements and my undies are just fine.
