yay, i got a new body.

Here are the points standings after 3 races.

Any ties in points were then ranked based on who out-qualified who. So, if you are tied with someone but had a higher qualifying position, then you were ranked ahead of the other person.

Just a little heads up for those guys running the Shumacher Mission (Jeff Hirdes, Mike Slaughter, and Dave W ?) I just saw a post on Orion website about some new machined pulleys that the factory guys loved and will be released soon

New Mission Parts (http://www.team-orion.ch/global/global_news.asp?id=1402)

Man, usually Mondays are slow, but isn't today Tuesday??? Where's everybody hiding??

Also... it looks like it's gonna be
a showdown at the last MORL race!

Tuesday I thought it was Wensday....oh well


Who is the showdown going to be between?

From what I saw last game Brian does not have a long shot in him.

Since Nick was able to get a relief driver. I was wondering if I could hire Walt Henderson for the last race. That is my only chance.:lol: :lol:

Besides, isn't that a Mugen you have?? Walts an Associated man. LoL!!

Hey Steven, you racing this weekend?? Inquiring minds want to know!!

MORL Lazer track times...

Here is the track time info for the MORL
Lazer race on September 15th:

Track opens at 7:00am.
First race off at 10:00am.

Well, this has nothing to do with RC racing but I just had to mention it.

Talk about an awesome softball game, WoW! Even the umpires were amazed at the final score... 37 to 36, sounds more like a football game doesn't it??

Oh, I almost conveniently forgot to mention... we were the team with 36 runs :cry:

DID ANYBODY BRING THEIR GLOVE TO THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just thought I would ask. :devil: :eek: :devil: :eek:

Believe it or not, but it wasn't the gloves that were causing the runs. It was the bats!! Seems like everybody and their brother managed to put the ball wereever they wanted to!!

Even John got some runs.

I hope he didn't hack up a lung or anything...:lol:

Ok a few weeks ago we came up with a scheduel to follow know I would like to know what everyone thinks about it? Do you like the idea? Do you think it is to fast, to slow? What can we do to make you happer? Remember this is a Club so we only do what we the members want to do.

I personally thought that things were great when we went by the schedule. It just seems that some aren't too inclined to show much before noon...:confused:

Changing gears here, is there any plans for running indoors yet? I'm just curious on how soon I need a 12th scale car.

Kewl. So who's bringing the beer and the exotic dancers.........:thumbsup:

Don't worry, I'll take care of that category!!!:D :hat: :dude: :devil:

Hey Now........ Is anybody ready to go indoors yet????

Plus, who's planning on going to Cleveland with us this year????

JOHN HELL YES I AM READY TO GO INDOORS But I don't think think I can pull cleveland off but I am definitely ready to go indoors.:thumbsup: You gotta place lined up yet fearless leader?

Hey John I was just talking to my social director and she said that cleveland might just be doable when does it start and finish and how much is the entry fee.

I would like to stay outside all year (if it only werent fer that thing called winter). Im pumped for cleveland however! I just need to find some roomies...:wave:

I'm ready for indoors, especially STADIUM!!! I'm going to be comming up with some new goodies for the stadium crew this week too. Such as a bermed corner, or how about a corner that goes up the wall?? some smoother transition jumps, moguls. Anyone with any other ideas???

I know I may be a Losi guy but did you check out the new T-Maxx killer from AE??? They call it the BFT. Can't imagine what that stands for??? Maybe BIG F*****G TRUCK :devil:

I cant wait till the electric BFT comes out.

Ha, good luck turning those tires.

I really wanna see some rounded off jumps that will simulate off road better. I've been thinking about using 2x12s to make a frame.

I'd also really like to come up with some banked turns. And does anyone know where we can get some old plow disks?

Well, guess I'd better start knockin' all that dirt off my T3......:D

How about we just do an indoor dirt track.

THANK YOU J-GLO instead of trying to simulate off-road lets just run off-road:confused: :thumbsup:

I am looking forward to indoor!I have a t3 and a tc3.The tc3 is use and I am going to need some set up tips!Also what tires are usally run indoors?I am totaly green on the tc3 so any help would be great!I am also planning to run with you guys out doors soon and A hint on tire slection would be great!:confused:One last thing,what chassi set up tools do you guys like to use?

So I know that I, Ken, Andy, and Dave are going to MARS this weekend anyone eles?

JOHN What is the schedule for Cleaveland and how much is the entry fee and is the hotel room incleded or is that seperate.

Ken from what I understand Wensday is set-up thursday is practice and qualifing starts on friday, continues on satraday and mains on sunday.

Ken, i believe that practice is on thurday, and qualifying starts friday.:D

Ken info from TTT: The US Indoor Champs race is always the same days. People arrive on the Wed b4 thanksgiving to set up their rooms, sign in, get there handout motors, etc. Thanksgiving day (thursday) is 2 rounds of controlled practice, sometimes 3 if they can get a volunteer to run the computer through the wee hours of the morning. fri - 2 quals, resort fri night. sat - 2 quals. sun - mains

The flyers are not available as of today. But the room is seperate from the racing fees.

anyone got step pins for a t3 i can borrow?!?!?

Well I was busy last night and came up with a pretty sweet design for a banked corner for the stadium guys. At the highest point it's 3'tall and has a 6' radius. (I had originally thought of using 8', but that proved to be too big) It's also divided up into 6 easily movable sections that will bolt together. I figured we would just take the carpet and glue it directly to the sections so it would be easier to stay flat and not wrinkle. I also came up with a couple nice smooth transition rounded jumps made from Bill's suggestion. the big ones are from 2x12's and some smaller ones with 2x8's and 2x6's. There are 4 supports in each jump with 1/4" masonite layed over top. the 2x12's are 4' from front to back edge, 8' wide and have one side with a steeper approach and the other with a shallow approach to have two different kinds of jumps in one depending on which direction it's oriented. Keep the ideas comming guys!!

I also had another idea that I saw from some pics of another stadium track. here are the pics:

Don't look now Bill but in the 3rd and 4th pics, Rounded Jumps!:eek:
Is that what you had in mind???

Also check out the washboard section. Just get some 3/4"-1" half round moulding and glue it to that veneer sheathing stuff and presto!

Also how about some taller rounded jumps, say for a set-up for a triple jump, with a 2x12 and a 2x6 on top????

Just some ideas, please send comments. We have to have the baddest stadium track ever this winter, especially for MOD 4wd BUGGY!!!

Andy that looks like a piece of pole barn siding just painted yellow.That would be easier than trying to make up a wash board effect. We could also check on corrugated fiberglass. What do you think about that.

I was kinda mulling over the idea of using a biscuit maker on a couple of 2x12s and making a 2x24. Once the glue dries on the biscuits, it makes for a pretty tough bond. With that and/or 2x36s we could make a pretty sweet table-top.

And as for dirt indoors, it's a nice idea, but probably not too good of one if we're gonna run on carpeting in the same building.

That's a good idea about the metal sheathing Dave, and probably a lot cheaper too! I'll take a look in some metal panel catalogs we have at work and see what kind of panels we can get

And we could make a realy sweet table top with three 2x12's glu-lamed together. I don't know anyone that has a biscuit cutter, but that would definatley be better than just screwing them together. We should get our local Norm Abrams a call, Rich Heavner, to see what kinds of toys he has to play with!

Keep the ideas comming guys, I'll be taking a roll of sketch paper to the MARS race this weeekend to do some brainstorming and drawing up these ideas

But I will have to agree with Bill, as sweet a$$ as an indoor dirt track would be it would ruin the carpet track with the dirty shoes. Plus since we don't have a permanent address where would we put three dump trucks full, about 100 cubic yards, of dirt during the summer w/o it washing away when it rains or someone helping themselves to a huge pile of dirt????
