Fred Knapp 08-01-2002, 07:25 PM Originally posted by John Warner What about P. Gamaggio, how come he hasn't posted anything in weeks???? I know he's not hiding somewhere!! I think he may still be mad about having to help pick up the track to collect a gift certificate. DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 07:28 PM Hasn't it always been that the track gets picked up before prizes get handed out? Thats how it's been since I started racing... nitrorod 08-01-2002, 07:30 PM Ok I want to see as many people as we can pack around the track. Acording to the scheduel that we posted at the begining of the year next weekend and the 31st are to be night races the 11th is the MORL race and the MARS race is on the 24th so the 24th is not a great date. How about the 10th next weekend with the night race. Fred Knapp 08-01-2002, 07:32 PM That all sounds good but, are we going to be racing every weekend or ever other weekend? nitrorod 08-01-2002, 07:33 PM I think that Pete is mad because he is there to set up and does not want to have to do both set up and tear down. He feels that he should be allowed to go with his gift when he is done if he helps set up. Originally posted by DamageIncRacing Hasn't it always been that the track gets picked up before prizes get handed out? Thats how it's been since I started racing... DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 07:33 PM Lets see... This weekend is Justins birthday so thats out.The weekend of the 17th I might be going to Indiana (maybe)... The 10th is good for a night race for me. nitrorod 08-01-2002, 07:35 PM Well I am all for continuing on the every weekend scheduel. Originally posted by knapster That all sounds good but, are we going to be racing every weekend or ever other weekend? DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 07:35 PM If I had the money, you guys know I'd be there every weekend. Fred Knapp 08-01-2002, 07:36 PM Originally posted by nitrorod I think that Pete is mad because he is there to set up and does not want to have to do both set up and tear down. He feels that he should be allowed to go with his gift when he is done if he helps set up. Thats all good as too, but keep in mind if we do that for Pete we have to do that for all do'nt you think? nitrorod 08-01-2002, 07:38 PM I am not saying he is right just telling you what he told me. As you and everyone know I am there for set-up tear-down and run the races all day just so I can race once and a while. Originally posted by knapster Thats all good as too, but keep in mind if we do that for Pete we have to do that for all do'nt you think? DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 07:39 PM How many time have I been the first one there on saturday- well, not this year- but just about every weekend last year. I helped set up, raced, ran the computer,and helped tear down and pack up. I was usually there at 8:30 am (ask Butch), and was one of the last ones to leave. DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 07:40 PM The year before I did all that AND ran 2 or 3 classes. John Warner 08-01-2002, 07:42 PM Originally posted by knapster Thats all good as too, but keep in mind if we do that for Pete we have to do that for all do'nt you think? Well personally I look at it this way.... Just because somebody helps set up doesn't or shouldn't exclude them from tearing down. After all, if that's the way it works, does that mean all I have to do is get the trailer to the track and somebody else will bring it back for me??? Every weekend is good for me too, but I think everybody would like to have more competition, do you not agree???? Fred Knapp 08-01-2002, 07:42 PM Yes, you two have always helped when your there and that is a good thing. So are you saying that we should leave it the way it is? bmxer08 08-01-2002, 07:42 PM Doing a night race the day before the MORL race is not to good. Unless everyone is giving up on that series. nitrorod 08-01-2002, 07:47 PM I know that I am not giving up on the MORL race. I think we could just do a shorter night race like 2 heats and a main in honor of the MORL race the next day. The Morl race is only in Lansing so its not that far of a drive. DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 07:47 PM I'm just saying (and you know this Johnny Boy), If there was a way I could race every weekend, you guys KNOW I would be there. I have no problems with set-up and tear down. And I'm pretty sure my "little" temper problem has calmed down considerably since that little incident with the nitro car and radio... I have no problems running the computer or marshalling when needed. And God knows I've climbed enough light poles for people! mike vasilion 08-01-2002, 07:48 PM don't forget guys, the Morl race at Lansing on the 11th starts at 10am. I know if you lazy guys stay up late, you won't get up in time.:lol: DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 07:50 PM Originally posted by mike vasilion don't forget guys, the Morl race at Lansing on the 11th starts at 10am. I know if you lazy guys stay up late, you won't get up in time.:lol: PLEASE! I go to bed at 3 and get up at 6. Plus I've got two kids that don't sleep past 7:30... The little turds!:eek: :D :devil: nitrorod 08-01-2002, 07:51 PM Most of us have to be up early every day so I dont think that will be a problem. For instance the night before the CRL race most were up all night and were there in time for that in the morning.

I would imagine we could work something out. DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 07:55 PM John... I absolutely REFUSE to race for sex!!!:lol: :devil: :lol: nitrorod 08-01-2002, 07:55 PM John turn your NEXTIME on. nitrorod 08-01-2002, 07:56 PM Come on guys the thought of eather of you to having sex is grose. Originally posted by DamageIncRacing John... I absolutely REFUSE to race for sex!!!:lol: :devil: :lol: John Warner 08-01-2002, 07:57 PM Originally posted by DamageIncRacing John... I absolutely REFUSE to race for sex!!!:lol: :devil: :lol: Yeah, that's what I've heard from your wife! DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 08:04 PM Originally posted by John Warner Yeah, that's what I've heard from your wife! 'scuse me... Why do you think I'm up 'til 3 in the morning!:D :devil: :D bmxer08 08-01-2002, 08:05 PM John do you know if Hobby Hub is do racing after the MORL race. If not maybe we could alternate weekends so if someone wants to race bad enough they will have a 1 hour drive. Just a thought. nitrorod 08-01-2002, 08:06 PM So back to the subject, What do we think about a big race next weekend or do we think we should do it the 17th when there is nothing eles going on? DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 08:10 PM I'm going to go out on a limb and say the 17th is good. My nephew is getting married that day but I haven't seen ANY of my family since my dad died. So I think I'll play their game and "forget". Plus my family reunion is in Indiana on the 18th but I don't think the fifth will make it and I really don't feel like driving 150 miles to sit and listen to people complain about the heat... nitrorod 08-01-2002, 08:13 PM Looking at the calender I think the 17th is the better day also...Now we just can call this "the big race" so anyone have a name? DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 08:17 PM "The GLRC/Riders Hobby Summer Slam"? Bear with me... I've got my face buried in a 5 quart bucket'o'ice cream... John Warner 08-01-2002, 08:19 PM Originally posted by nitrorod Looking at the calender I think the 17th is the better day also...Now we just can call this "the big race" so anyone have a name? The 17th of what month???? John Warner 08-01-2002, 08:20 PM Originally posted by DamageIncRacing Bear with me... I've got my face buried in a 5 quart bucket'o'ice cream... FIVE quarts??? Must be sumptin I aint neva heared of! nitrorod 08-01-2002, 08:21 PM August what month were you thinking? Turn on your nextel. DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 08:23 PM Originally posted by John Warner FIVE quarts??? Must be sumptin I aint neva heared of! You've never seen the 5 quart buckets of Country Fresh Ice Cream?! Inhaling a bucket'o'chocolate now... DamageIncRacing 08-01-2002, 08:27 PM These things just ain't big enough... John Warner 08-01-2002, 08:42 PM Originally posted by DamageIncRacing These things just ain't big enough... Are you still talking about ice cream, or have you changed subjects?? Fred Knapp 08-01-2002, 08:44 PM If we could draw in a Name or two that would help promote a near year end race. nitrorod 08-01-2002, 09:00 PM Now were talking....I wonder if our local pro Jeff is ever going to race again. Originally posted by knapster If we could draw in a Name or two that would help promote a near year end race. Fred Knapp 08-01-2002, 09:00 PM I saw Tony at the Hobby store today and he said that his new ride was together. Looks like he's going to put an RB in it. nitrorod 08-01-2002, 09:03 PM So we can count on him this weekend? Omega Pi 08-01-2002, 09:04 PM I know for a fact that Tony is still planning on racing nitro, (after all, he just got his new Reflex put together) and possibly electric as well (and if he doesn't run the electric, maybe I will). We try to make every Saturday race, but Tony has to work every other Saturday, and like last Saturday, he sometimes has to work 'till 5. I think a big trophy race may be the answer to getting some more people there, but you need a gimmick....(like ladies day...wives race for free....:D) The 17th is one of his non-work weekends, so that is good for us. As for a name, why not something along the lines of "season's end showdown"? Fred Knapp 08-01-2002, 09:07 PM Reflex, sounds like a good car to me. nitrorod 08-01-2002, 09:08 PM Well I like the Idea of a gimmick, but the name soes not realy fit hopefully if the weather holds we will be racing till the end of next month. How about the Grand Rapids city champs? nitrorod 08-01-2002, 09:09 PM Reflex sounds like one of those stinky nito cars to me. Fred Knapp 08-01-2002, 09:10 PM Originally posted by nitrorod Well I like the Idea of a gimmick, but the name soes not realy fit hopefully if the weather holds we will be racing till the end of next month. How about the Grand Rapids city chumps? Chumps??? nitrorod 08-01-2002, 09:11 PM How about the Grand Rapids City Chimps? John Warner 08-01-2002, 09:17 PM Reflex....

Fred Knapp 08-01-2002, 09:17 PM So how many chumps would we need to effectively have a chimp race. John Warner 08-01-2002, 09:20 PM Oh, WoW!! Fred and Jerrod are nearing 500 posts! When they do they become Elderly Statesman!! Fred with 475 Jerrod with 488 Who's gonna make it there first??
