On the scoring, I think I can do you one better. When I started racing the MART (a predecessor to the MARS series) We raced, marshalled and then scored. Scoring was you with a pencil and two stopwatches mounted on a piece of plastic. When the cars came by you wrote down the time under the lap.

Definitely before my time! I started this goofy racing back in January of 1999 when Jim Rousseau opened up his track in Ypsilanti. So, all I've known are transponders, good batteries (2000s just came out), and a lot more advanced cars than what was out before (the Losi SW had just won the worlds).

My wallet hasn't felt the same since then.

jees man, thats not that long at all. U learn quick dont u? lol.

Steven...

Yes, you can get a ride tomorrow, I have your dog, Teddy is here. Where do you need to be picked up from? When are your plans on joining your dog? Are you riding back with me Saturday after the night race???

Lemme know!
John

Steves dog is named Teddy how cute.

Oh, Yeah... That's the doggies name alright! And he's a short little flat faced fuzzy ankle bitter with an attitude!

LOL!!! thats about the best description of him i have ever heard. Yeah, im at my moms, i need to be picked up hear and im not sure about saturday night. Il let u know when i know.

Okay, I'll see you in the morning. BTW: Teddy doesn't swim to well, I threw him in the pool and he sunk right to the bottom. I had to dive down 10 feet and drag him out and give him mouth to mouth resesitation! Man, what nasty breath he has!!

Oh....j/k!! :wave:

Don't forget your picking me up too John, still want me to call and wake you up at 8:30????

BentRod..... Your psychiatrist called, and want's to know why you missed your appointment again. He's also curious as to whether or not that new medication is beginning to work. Oh, and one more thing... your bunting instructor said to tell you to try bowling or some other non-contact sport!!

DamWreck... Yes!

CowWadedKid... 9:00-9:30.

Okie Dokie John. Il be up.

John sounds like you may need to fire up the bus for the trip to Gr Tomorrow.

How did your softball game go Friday night? Hope it was better than that infield pop up you hit Thursday night.

Good Luck to Garen Hagobian Of Team GS Racing! He is currently 39th out of 114 in nitro touring at the nitro nats. I think jody is 79th. Hardee har har. Go Garen!

Steven Stewart,

CrookedRod....

You must be very confused as usual. I didn't hit an infield pop-up, it was however a pop-up but it did manage to make it to the grass unlike you with your three foot putt!! Friday's game was with a (real) softball team that communicates with one another. I played second, made an un-assisited double play, fielded seven grounders, got on base with all four at bats, scored three times and we won 32 to 21!!! Oh, BTW: we played the entire game, imagine that!

Hey Steven....

Not a problem with the truer. However, with the ride, the use of the truer, and dog watching, it's gonna cost ya! I need some tires for my old ride. So I either need to buy, borrow or use a set, any problem with that????

It kind of sounds like your not all that happy with your ntc3!

If any of you guys do not have plans for the 4th of july and you have an off-road vehicle that you would like to race, village hobbies in Hesperia is having it's annual 4th of july trophy race. So If you would like to race some off-road on the 4th head on up it will be a good time. And oh yeah there is electricity but get there early. Bad Andy if you can you should head on up with the FrankenLosi there will be a 4wd class and a couple of the 4wd guys want to lay their eyes on the FrankenLosi.:thumbsup: :wave: :thumbsup: :wave:

Hello Ken,

Are there many/any nitro trucks that race up there?

Thanks,

Mike

there were 7 or 8 nitro trucks up there today and I imagine that the 4th being a trophy race will bring some more out.:thumbsup:

I have to be up there on the 4th so I am going to try and go.

Sweeeet J-Glo there will definitely be alot of trucks for you to race with up there. If you need directions let me know,although really if you can find Hesperia you can find the track.:devil:

I'd like to go since I have no plans for the 4th. Post some directions, and what time will they start and how much is entry?

Yo, Wally, Butch....

I'm pulling the electrics out of the truck and putting them in the sedan for this weekend. Sedan.... as in a Tamiya Evolution. Shaft driven of course!

Me

Almost forgot....

I wanted to personally thank everyone for attending this weekends day and night race. What a phenomenal turnout we had!! Even the reverse mains seemed to be enjoyable, well to some anyway!

John

okay everyone directions to hesperia take 96 west to 31 north not 131 but 31 north you will pick up 31 north in Muskegon. take 31 north until you get to the exit for m120 take m120 to hesperia m120 runs right to hesperia. Once you are in Hesperia there are only two 4 way stops in town go straight through the first 4 way stop. This will take you into downtown Hesperia (don't blink) go through downtown until you get to the second 4 way stop take a left and then you should see the track. the hobby shop is a white building that looks like an old one room school house. I know that there are some guys in G.R. that have been there before. I think Dave Woelpers has been there as well as Scotty over at Riders, which reminds me if anyone is going to Riders before thursday tell Scotty to get he xx4 off the shelf and come on out and race it.


C-YA Ken:wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

Or if you are daring you can take the short cut. Just get off 96 at nunica go north till you only see people with 5 or less teeth then you will be to m-120 continue north till you get to the big oak tree then turn left. Look for the Radio Shack cars.

I know those guy's your talking about.... They were the entire front row at the last Willie Nelson concert!! And I even know where your talking about, it's right next to that field with the cows in it, right???

J-Glo... You're Nextel??????? No workie bubba!

This is true there is a way you can get off at nunica and take maple island road all the way to m120 then go to hesperia. I just gave the other way because it was less complicated and it will probably seem shorter because you can go 75 or 80 most of the way. On Maple island from nunica all the way up to hesperia there are alot of sheriffs and state cops with alot of time on their hands if you know what I mean. And if you can turn more laps than the amount of teeth in your head you might be a redneck. But all kidding aside there will be no radio shack cars village hobbies is actually a good shop they stock all Losi and associcated stuff as well as being a schumacher dealer.

Yo AARP citizen, John
being a holiday weekend (sortoff), are we going to start @ around what 2:30 or three?, or are we goooing to try, say 12:30 one?
throwing the electronics on an electric car, your still planning on nitro also right?

Fred fred fred fred fred fred fred fred, if i wasn't happy w/my tc3 i wouldn't give so much caca about it!

any way you boys have a good week!

HERE'S THE QUOTE OF THE CENTURY:

taken from another forum (dodgedakotas.com) talking about why these stupid kids with their rice grinders always pick on cars, or trucks with V8's;

"the biggest problem is that these people dont know their place in the performance food chain. i dont taunt some one that i know is going to kill me in a race, because i know my role.
you just dont feed a four cylinder rice and think you are going to beat a v-8 that has been living off of red meat."

Oh, and I will have to tell you guys this weekend about the race I got into on the way to Hooter's Saturday night when I left the track.

yaaaaay! I got my vision! Not sure if i can make this next saturday but if not i will certainly be back the following week for some racing!

Steven, just have a vision that you will have it done.

Pete, You may have gotten me last Saturday and you may get me this Saturday, but you won't get me every Saturday.:devil:

hey old freddy, i sure hope you get your car hooked up soon then there will be no more excuses, right, good. now that we got that covered i look forward to brian j to keep taking you out and making it a lot easier for thanks brian.

see you later!

Pete, in case you have'nt noticed, my REFLEX was hooked up right out of the box. Biran Jackson taking me out all the time, now thats another story.

:confused: I'm confused, what is a Magnatic???? There's no such word in any dictionary I looked in. Unless he's referring to the word magnate.

\Mag"nate\, [F. magnat, L. (pl.) magnates, magnati, fr. magnus great. See Master.] 1. A person of rank; a noble or grandee; a person of influence or distinction in any sphere.

But I know that's not possible unless we're talking about the distinction of being the person most likely to rip full throttle into other opponents in his race to gain positions. Or to be the person to influence a Stock motor so much that the bronze bushings magically turn into ball bearings!:lol:

But if that is the word he's shooting for the proper usage would be NITROMAGNAT

Just my daily input of usless information:thumbsup:

Well fred if that is as hooked up as you get then maybe,well never mind!

Mr.phat dakota, wuz uppppp!
nitromagnatic is a conglomorate of words but basically nitro mechanic witha twist. As far as bushing turning into brg. well the tooth ferry told me to do it! Fortunatly for me the person your referring to has installed a magnet in freds car and quickly taking over the honor of the full throttle thing, but i do appreciate you thinking of me. Hope the explanation of the name clearrs things up for you good day!

sees you'all sat?

yeah Fred, i got it done at John's. I still gotta get exhaust and electronics done but thats it. Thats a good one Andy!lol!

Look! it's a bird, No a plane, wait it's a FrankinLosi :eek: :eek:

I think the guy's T-shirt in the background sums it up the best.:D
