Pete, now that Steven has his new vision together I gess your winning the A main will now be reduced to the B's.

Hi people! Im new to the area and I am looking for a good hobby shop and track. How often and where do you guys race? Can I get directions to your track? I'd kill for a race so I can get away from my parents!

Well your in luck.
We are the Great Lakes Racers Club and we race every Saturday at the Grand Central Plaza 2055 28th Street S.E. right in front of Riders Hobby Shop. We start setting up at 10:00 and practise at 11:00. The first round starts around 12:00 and finished when we are finished. I look forward to seeing you Saturday.
Fred Knapp

Well thanks for the vote of confidence fred! but i go to the b I guess that puts you in what the c, or d!wavesmile

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, and if that puts me that far down in the ranking I gess I only have one way to go,-----------------------------------UP :wave:

Thanks Knapster. What calasses do you guys run? I have a TC3, a T3, and a few others that I don't race that much. Do you guys do the three to make a class thing? How much does it cost to race?

We run Nitro Touring, Elec. touring, and Off Road mainly, but in the past we've had people run moster truck (T-Maxx's) and modified radio shack cars. We do use the 3 to make a class rule. Cost is $10 for member and $12 for non-members- and memberships are available for $25 and get you discounted entry fees and a 10% discount on R/C stuff in Riders (anything that doesn't have a yellowish orange sticker). WE race every saturday (weather permitting) and you race 3 heats and a main. We also have night races throughout the years and those can get a little strange (right Johnny Boy!!!)

P.S. You're from South Bend Indiana? I have an aunt that basically owns the entire corner of Broadway and Marion. I have a lot of family in the South Bend Elkhart Mishawaka area.

hey, guys? Am I reading this correctly? Did Pete really win the A-main in nitro?
I guess I'm gonna have to show up on Saturday and see this for myself.:eek:

That would depend on what your definition of win is!

C'mon Fred You know the saying- Hackin's Racin'!!! :devil: :lol: :devil:

well, in order to hack, one must catch first.haha

Maybe this says something about the state of R/C as of late. Seems we're not the only one's that are having a hard time getting a good turnout.

Maybe we could have a ROAR regional onroad race at Rider's :lol: . Any asphalt is better than none.

later..........

Hey Bill,

I think these may be more in order. They can both easily be one day events, and won't need as much promotion. ( Only needing to spread the word through one state instead of multiple.) Anyways, I think it would be great for the club and could very easily help with some of those indoor expenses that will be looming.

How convenient. So lets do it!

Mike as hard as it is to believe that i did win the A, in the afternoon session and night race yes i did say night won them both for ntc3 (reflex 0 so far), iwas second qualifier behind kikyfast in the afternoon and that was only by 1.4 seconds in the same lap, the only guys on the same lap everybody else was at least a lap or two down! the evening i was TQ on my own lap @ that time kikyfast was playing with his 14th engine. In the main kikyfast did say I'm waiting for you f up and something about having my children or whatever, and when all that failed, mike tried the old well if he can't see he must screw up, how you should ask?, well by putting his rtransmitter right infront of my face it did get bunddled up with a hose but it's all history anyway.

Hey eric what you meanhack my way around, if you would have payed more attention you would have seened that brian wuz having all the fun this time!

C'mon Petey!!! You know I'm only messing with ya!!! And as for Brian- When is he NOT having all the 'fun'?! :lol: :devil: :lol:

Fred all you are going to see the smoke baby! So gulp gulp i'm shaking in my boots,bring it on pops!:rolleyes: :D :wave:

Head Lines
That awesome Reflex driven by top driver Team Moe Power leader sweeps the entire field today at the GLRC track. It was a spectacle to behold as the other drivers tried in vain to keep up. As reporters milled around the pits and at the end of the day their seemed to be a somber attitude and new found respect for the car of choice, the Reflex.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
THENYOU WOKE UP!!!!!!!!

Hi fred
Did you move up out of the C class yet????

I was thinking that a state race would be more convient, also. With the MORL race going on, and the contact we have with each other via the internet, getting word around shouldn't be too hard.

Its probably too late to start something for a nitro state race, but perhaps we could come up with something this fall indoors for an electric onroad race on carpet. Thats what we race on anyways. Its been too long since we've had a good size race around. Maybe it would help to boost interest of those sitting on the proverbial fence.

Whaddya say Mr. Race Director? Sound like a lost cause? Has anyone else thought about this?

later...............

Fred??? I'm not aware of your ability to take care of standard maintenance, but from what I just read, I think it's time you clean the residue out of that crack pipe!! LoL!!

so who actualy won on saturday?

Okay Bill, I like your ideas, and ways of thinking. It's evident that you should speak up more often than you do! I'll start putting things together for bringing a large race back to the greater Grand Rapids area.

Also, would everyone prefer for us to run our Saturday racing on a more stringent schedule? Such as a starting time for setting up, a starting and cut off time for registration, scheduled race times including lunch?? Speak up... it's now or never !!

Ha! yah john, u on a stringent schedule....Like that would ever happen. lol.

Mike Vasilion, with nothing less than his pure unadulterated professional driving skills assisted by his trusty Associated NTC-3 of course!! (I just had to throw that in for you Freddie Provetti)!

Oh you verrrrry funny man Master Stewart. Maybe you should give up driving toy cars and go into the comedian business. I was talking about the actual events of the day you Dork!!

as the news crew came around and asked mr spaggetti how did team driver mopower fair today?
bahama man had only one coment, (hommer simpson comes to mind doh!) :rolleyes: :wave:

hey john appreciate you coming up to driverstand and giving me the words of advise!but when i got home and tore in to the car to find out why the back end started coming a little loose, well i found the e clip that holds the pinion gear in the diff was at the bottom of the diff case, and shaped into a small figure 8.

:confused: :confused:

like i said earlier fred THEN YOU WOKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd just like to know what time we're expected to be at Rider's to set up and when sign ups will be open and racing will be begin. If everyone agrees to start later, that's fine by me.

Oh, and I'd like to take a moment to thank Bad Andy for his performance this week. Thanks to him, I had good finishes in two different races. First, his motor puked on him in Hesperia allowing me to finish third instead of fourth (and go home with a nifty plaque). Second, his timely exit from the main on saturday allowed me to finish second.

To Bad Andy, I salute you!:devil: One of these days I'll buy you a beer at Hooters in recognition of this great act!:thumbsup:

just wait until i get settled down into my vision! Im not letting that old TC3 get another win!

thank's for the comment John.

btw, Pete, my rear diff is totally melted, man. Don't know what the $@#% happened.

Well, I guess I've finally found the proof the shaft drive guy's wanted! Seems like I don't remember seeing a shaft look like this, especially when it's only two weeks old! A fine example of another great Trinity product.

dude, ur car came with a defective wably shaft!!! Yah, thats great for effiecency.

Oh God, let's not start this one again. That's it. I'm using a magnetic propulsion system from now on. No belts, no shafts, no nothing........... I wonder how many sub-C cells this is gonna take. Better get another charger!

later.........

Steven.... You obviously don't get the point here. First of all, yes the shaft was defective. And yes, Associated gladly replaced it. But..... It came that way in the box, and once replaced, works flawlessly. However, this belt wasn't defective, it was caused by a stone. (sound familluar?) And will more than likely happen again, but will NEVER happen to a shaft driven car. Shafts don't become worn out, strech or slip and fall off, nor do they break in the middle of a heat or even worse, your main!!!!

Hey Bill, here's a thought.... Lets you and I invent a soda powered car? That way we could lay down the traction for everyone else!! OhhhhhYeah!

BTW: I was given this belt by a prominent driver that races with you every weekend!!
