Oh yeah, I forgot they turned the lights off at 11:00 :)
Most retirement homes lights out at 10:00pm!!!
If Fred is up past 11:00pm he is breaking curfew...
I know this because I spent two weeks in one back in 1997
with a broken arm!!!!! :wave:

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.
I care!

Unfortunately I don't do any of that nitro stuff though. How many electric cars have been showing up on Saturdays?
Last saturday saw 8 cars line up for stock electric on rubber shoes. Of course, we finished the day with only 7 of them. Seems someone with a Tamiya couldn't finish the day.:devil:
Anyways, I'm looking forward to some more stock action this weekend. Of course 19 turns would probably be better, but I guess you gotta take what you can get....
John Warner 07-11-2002, 02:43 PM Boy it seems like picking on NitroRodent has become a full time past time of mine, but I just couldn't help but notice and post this one!!!

Now correct me if I'm worng, but isn't this the proper spelling of the word ==>Correction<== ??
Oh, and BillyBob.... I could have finished with the Tamiya, but due to the lack of those special metric pitch gears, and running a 19 turn I couldn't get the gearing low enough to keep from melting the wires off the motor!

So John was running 19turn in the stock class? I tell you what you guys shure are nice to the old man I meen letting him cheat and all.
nitrorod 07-11-2002, 03:06 PM Bill if we can find somemore people to run I would be up for some 19 turn racing, that is if Riders has a 19 turn motor.

I heard that Pete was paying B.J. $4.00 for trying and $3.00 if he was sucessful!
John Warner 07-11-2002, 04:15 PM Well, Fred.... it's seems to be working, and by now I'd imagine B.J. has banked quite a large amount of el' casho!!
John Warner 07-11-2002, 04:16 PM Yes, I sure was there FicklePickle.... and STILL losing!!

KawadaKid 07-11-2002, 04:37 PM man, i missed alot.
Fred Knapp 07-11-2002, 05:42 PM I figure this has been going on for atleast six weeks, so if this is true and you add it up, it would come to something like $168.00

I'm with you there. Why is it that Rider's never has the motor that I want. Scotty, if you're reading this, don't make me mail order something... I'll do it! Really!
Order some Reedy 19 turns... oh, and some trinity P.O.S.'s for everyone else! :devil:
later.......
psycho02 07-11-2002, 08:51 PM Hey J-glo I was up around the area where you said you are from. YOU ARE NOT LIEING!!!!!!!:eek: You are definitely from the boonies:devil:
KawadaKid 07-11-2002, 09:11 PM Hey, J-glo, what did u think of my new Vision?
Fred Knapp 07-11-2002, 09:17 PM Originally posted by KawadaKid

Glo-Plug, be nice to him now. He is a sponsored driver.
KawadaKid 07-11-2002, 09:23 PM no, i would like your REAL opinion J-Gloplug.
psycho02 07-11-2002, 09:26 PM The important thing Steven is that YOU like the car.
Fred Knapp 07-11-2002, 09:27 PM Steven, if it has belts it has to be good.
DaRoot'e'yeah 07-11-2002, 09:32 PM I saw pics of it in the last ish of R/C Car. Looks nice. I just gotta ask, what'd different about it from the other clones? The layout is practically the same on most cars. What's the Vision ride got that's gonna make sit up on my hind legs and beg for? Throw me a bone here........
Fred Knapp 07-11-2002, 09:38 PM Thats the kewl thing about the GS Vision, you get to imagine.
KawadaKid 07-11-2002, 09:38 PM Well Bill,
Basicaly the vision incorperates all the aspects of all the top production cars. Its got the drive train layout of the Kyosho/Trinity car and the basic suspension design of the mugen with raised arms like a serpent. Some unique features are its chassis bracing that has so far kept the chassis very rigid and will be improved when i get the aluminum parts. It features a VERY low engine mount. So low that the chassis had to have material removed to fit the engine. This should greatly improve C/G. Also, the car has a nice radio box with a transponder mount for convienence. Those are the basics. You can take a look this weekend if u would like. That goes for anyone interested. Just c'mon by and have a look.
Steven Stewart,
GS Racing Team
psycho02 07-11-2002, 10:00 PM ahhhh so young but yet he understands his obligations to his sponsors so well.

Fred Knapp 07-12-2002, 04:37 PM Not really, my swaybar didn't make it in today. I think in all fairness, sence the car is new, I need more time to get the kinks worked out. Its eather that or try to out bid Pete for B.J. to run back marker for me.
John Warner 07-12-2002, 04:40 PM I wanted to let those of you in the Lansing area know that we at the Great Lakes Racers Club are proud to announce that tomorrow (July 14th) we'll be running races at TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS! One at the Rider's in Grand Rapids, and the second at Rider's in Lansing. That's right, GLRC is expanding. The Rider's in Lansing will be using our back-up AMB system and PA. So.... if your in that area, and are looking for somewhere to race, check em out!
John
John Warner 07-12-2002, 04:49 PM Oops, almost forgot... Registration starts at noon, and the cost for this first weekend is $5.00!! Three heats plus the main. Location is directly across from the Meijer on Cedar Street right off of I-96.
