Hey John, before you go ahead and print copies of that newletter, you may wish to do a spell correction....in the first couple of sentences, instead of "their" it's "there"....just thought you'd want people to at least think we know how to spell!!!!!:D

Hopefully we'll see everyone Saturday!!!

Thanks For the input but I doubt that with most of our racers that they care, for the most part I think that they would like the newsletter in picture form. The corection has been made.

So I know it is a little early for this but Ken Kennedy and I were talking this past weekend and now I am wondering who is going to run 12th scale with us this year. I know that I am going to and am thinking about the Speedmertchent car anyone have any thoughts on this?

Fred Knapp
07-10-2002, 09:51 PM
Yeah, I have a tought on that. Um, let me see-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------shoot, I lost it.

Hey Fred, would I be safe in assuming that you have a hard time getting to sleep at night??? I base this thought on the fact that you can come up with some really off the wall stuff, and I'm guessing that those thoughts come while your tossing and turning, am I close????

can you hear me now, oh boy!! with a megaphone none the less!!

Fred Knapp
07-10-2002, 10:34 PM
Yes I can. Its as clear as mud.

John Warner
07-10-2002, 10:36 PM
I wonder who it was that gave Jerrod that black eye anyway. Softball maybe? nawwww, he doesn't get that close to one, although I have seen him catch. Maybe it was Amy when she found out about that TC3 he bought, hummmmmmm....... now there's a thought!!

Last time I talked with her she said she was trying to keep him in line. You never know.

John Warner

FicklePickle..... I'll be running 1/12 scale (Calandra of course) But, thought I'd mention that the spelling of the name of the car your planning on running may be helpful before you order it, otherwise who knows what you may end up with!!
""Speedmerchant"" I believe is the proper spelling ;)

YES!!!!!!!:eek: 12TH SCALE. We need to run 12th scale this winter. If you guys don't run it I am gonna just show up and run by myself for 8 minutes darnit. But I will make a deal, I don't really like touring cars but if we can get some 12th scale classes going I will add myself into the touring car mix also:thumbsup: SO LETS GO.

I agree Fred, I've heard she has a pretty mean left hook!

I don't know the first thing about those cars!

John Warner
07-10-2002, 10:43 PM
Ken in a sedan?? Man, this is gonna be interesting to say the least!!

Fred Knapp
07-10-2002, 10:45 PM
I gess I do know something. Bomia gave me the inside scoop on how to win.

John Warner
07-10-2002, 10:45 PM
Well, lets see.... they have four wheels & tires, 4 batteries cells, 1 servo, 1 ESC, 1 body. Pretty much like a sedan except less maintinence and setup work, their cheaper too! Besides, what did you know about sedans before you got into them??????

John Warner

Not only that, but I'm trying to drive a nitro, and I know nothing about those stupid things, and it shows!!

Fred Knapp
07-10-2002, 10:49 PM
Maybe you should let NitroKing set your car up for you.

psycho02
07-10-2002, 10:51 PM
John, I have kept the secret pretty good, but I can drive a sedan too just don't tell anyone. In fact I have a tc3 that needs a front differential otherwise ready to go that I could break out at a moments notice. Foam or Rubber I have driven both it dos'nt matter. I just get tired of looking for the darn jumps:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

John Warner
07-10-2002, 10:51 PM
Okay already, so get on that fancy invention called a telephone and order one up for yourself! Why wait????

Ken, I'd have to see it for myself, which I haven't as of today!

John Warner

Hummmmmm...... Hey Fred, since it would appear that your car is dialed, how about I just drive your Trinitymobile this weekend??

John Warner
07-10-2002, 10:57 PM
Been there, done that.... opps, wait a minute.... doing it now!!

Unfortunately I don't do any of that nitro stuff though. How many electric cars have been showing up on Saturdays?

John Warner
07-10-2002, 11:01 PM
I would enjoy running the dirt, in fact I'll make the "A" main too!! (just as long as I'm one of only six that show up!!)

Fred Knapp
07-10-2002, 11:02 PM
Later!

John Warner
07-10-2002, 11:03 PM
Last Saturday we had 14 of them running both rubber and foam, including myself with a Tamiya car! Bring it!!


Fred.... awe, come on, I want to drive a Trinity car, besides.... you've got plenty of spare parts!

Do you know where I can find a front Diff for a tc3? my car has the front one way (it came like that) and I don't like it I think I would rather have the diff.

psycho02
07-10-2002, 11:06 PM
Well you know he is an old timer and he is going to need his rest. besides lights out in the retirement home is 11:00.:devil: :lol:

John Warner
07-10-2002, 11:33 PM
Actually, I have a couple of them here, if I can remember I'll put one in the trailer and it'll be there whenever your down our way! (at Rider's)

Oh yeah, I forgot they turned the lights off at 11:00 :)
