WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :eek: I told ya baby 12TH SCALE IS MANDATORY THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: And you definitely don't want to be in the way when that freight train of 12th scale cars comes flying through. I am almost ready. I will be ordering batteries and tires this week and next week and building up for the MINI CAR MAYHEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: That we are all going to partake in this winter. Why you ask? well did'nt you hear?IT'S MANDATORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! :eek: The only question I have though John is there going to be a tire truer around that we in the club can use? I would'nt want anybody to not be able to run because they could not get there tires trued. I think that will go a long way to keeping everybody motivated about the class. Every body needs to share knowledge and resources so that everybody can have a good time. If you know how to make a fast 12th scale motor let eveybody know. If you know any tips share them. That way everybody in the club will get good at 12th scale and we can take over the whole freakin c.r.l. this winter. Have our whole club just take over the top 10 in points for 12th scale.AND MAKE THOSE FREAKIN EAST SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE HOMERS EAT THEIR FREAKIN WORDS. :eek:

I am telling you johnny we need to grow ourselves a nice little army of 12th scale soldiers and just blitz the east side of the state with our speed. We have enough good drivers over here. We could do it. WE NEED everyone to step up and do their part though (even you steven stewart) COME ON 12TH SCALE IS AWESOME EVERYONE. and it's MANDATORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :thumbsup:

Ken, are you pumped or what?

psycho02
09-19-2002, 09:59 PM
YES SIR MAJOR PROVERETTI I AM VERY PUMPED UP.I hav'nt raced in a few weeks and I get this way when I go too long in between races. But I am serious people need to realize that right now 12th scale is one of the cheapest forms of racing. AND there is no other form of racing that will help you be good at all other forms of racing like 12th scale will. I mean seriously 12th scale is like the formula 1 of r/c and we need to do it ALOT this winter. You guys might think I am playing but as far as I am concerned my taxi cab can sit on the shelf and collect dust. ITS ALL ABOUT THE 12TH SCALE BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Fred Knapp

psycho02
09-19-2002, 10:28 PM
we will probably all want to start in stock for 1 reason it will be fast enough trust me. the second reason is the more people we have racing against each other the hotter the competition will be and we will all get better quicker.

John Warner

Okay, here's a few thought's that should help
make our 1/12th scale involvement a little better.....

1/12th scale ONLY trophy race.

1/12th scale ONLY series race.

Special entry fee discounts for
1/12 scale car as a second entry.

Technicial 1/12th scale layouts.


How are these thoughts for starters???

psycho02
09-19-2002, 11:18 PM
that all sounds pretty good but you have to change the wording on the discount. don't call 12th scale a second class. Call it the #1 class and offer a discount to the sedan guys if they enter a 12th scale car.


as far as track layouts, is'nt the ifmar rule 6 foot wide lanes?

I would imagine we'll be using the ROAR rules!

psycho02
09-19-2002, 11:27 PM
yeah yeah yeah Johnny but ar'nt most of the roar rules fashioned after ifmar rules. yeah yeah yeah I know you are some kind of roar hotshot or something like that:p Mr assistant on road director of region 5. But the real point is are the lanes 6 feet or not if not what are they?

however eight foot lanes are also allowed.

All this talk about 12th scale and char'b'quing the losers remains is indeed a little strange. Do we have a confirmed indoor track yet? Just curious...:confused: :devil:

I hate to say it, but I'd like to see us get the rink again. As long as we didn't have the same problems as last year with the landlord... Couldn't beat the location...:rolleyes: :devil:

At first the new "landlord" Fernando (not Enrique Ayala) wanted to increase the rent by a thousand dollars which would bring it to $4,000.00 a month. However, he decided to let us have it for the three thousand BUT.... we'd have to put up an additional $3,000.00 deposit which would bring the move in cost to $6,000.00. And personally, my guess is we'd never see our deposit money back.

Yes, we can accept Lansing to be netural, but with reservations!
