Hey... I just remembered. I taught Jeff Brown how to race, too. I am also partly responsible for Chuck Lonergon's speed. It comes from all those years we chased each other. So, let's recap here. All of these guys are now faster because of me: Mockerman, Brown, Lonergon.

Hey... I even noticed that Greg Anthony has gotten really fast after just one season of racing and pitting with me.

Hmmmmm...

gee, you can think all of what you want to... I think it was the R/C cross training and technical development....

Wow can I go to the Hammy school for speed?

In that case I recommend Gran Turismo

You played GT3 yet? Man that is as close as it gets!.....:thumbsup: (well besides R/C...thats even better):D

LoL!!!:eek:

Man, I'm having way too much fun!!!

Man, what can I say? Guns, and retaliation and best defence, and OUCH!!! Ouch ouch ouche, and eye doctor, and video tape, and Crash Team, and plays with himself, and doing drive bys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and dodge bullets all day long, and LOTS of crossfire, and attacking someone personally, and you should see it when we get on the track, and I'm sorry, and a massive buildup happening and that the troops are preparing for a massive attack, and it will be a massacre, and char'b'quing the losers remains, and nice little army.

Sounds more like a strange game of sex wars.

This is starting to get way too weird.... I was kinda hoping one of my hobbies could at least be normal, but it seems I was wrong......

Every one goes indoor electric and the Nitro talk comes to this?....:confused:




I would have like a few more answers to the Engine question. What can I run that will keep up but wont kill by this way ---->$$$$$

How about a .15FE for $79.99?

OS CVR perhaps. Good power, its rated at about 1 horse. It shouldnt be too much either.

Thanks I will look at them.:thumbsup:

Hey Pete, did you get over to the rink and lay some of your lingo on Fernando yet? hmmmm.

Now that you mention it, I thought thats what he'd say.

Oh, by the way.... libertado is spanish for Fred. And the rest is something about where the sun doesn't shine!

Like I said, I thought thats what he'd say.

Seven other tracks had put in for a race. We can only pick five. Here are the dates as of about an hour ago.

10/27 Detroit
11/17 Lansing
12/15 Toledo
01/19 Grand Rapids
02/23 Jackson

Points will be calculated on the best 3 of 5. That gives you two throw outs, in case you have a bad race or don't want to drive all the way from Cleveland during a snow storm.

Flyers to follow, soon.

As a long-term vision for the CRL, I would love to turn this into a series to establish national rankings. Couldn't you just see 10 regional CRLs as a means to qualify for the nationals. The top 10 from each region's points season would qualify. Host the nationals somewhere cool, along with an American LeMans Series event.

I believe that works out to about 20 hours of driving.

I believe that works out to about 20 hours of driving. Not at the speeds YOU drive. Besides, you can always trade in the GMC truck of yours and get something like Hammie's corvette or even Rich's porsche. That'll get you there a little faster!!

Yes I could, but like J-rod I find my check book empty as well.

I know how you guys feel... My checkbook hasn't been opened in so long I think all the checks have decomposed...:eek: :lol: :devil:

I know that I am a little late but I have to reply to Hammie on the fact that all our guys are faster because of him. How can he PROVE that? Maybe our guys made him faster.I believe that is the true case.:eek:



<----------------------


:rolleyes: me still ducking the internet driveby.

First thing's first, sayin I'm fast because I pitted with Hammie is kinda like the sayin the sun comes up because ewe all have to go to work.... when in fact, the sun comes up anyways, and the real reason we all go to work, whether or not we will admit it, it to be able to afford to be able to play with our toy cars with our friends!

and John, I prefer the quiet whisper of a 93 cavalier... comes in under the radar. and it's just a little under 8 hours drive time for us over here!

20 hours? That's what you guys get for living over on the West side. :D (That will be my only participation in that goofy thread)

For me, it is about 13 hours of driving round trip from Ann Arbor, going around 80 mph. Most of the tracks are about 1 hour one-way for me (Larry's and Toledo are a bit longer), except for G.R. which is 2 hours one-way.

John - with all the crap I haul around for indoor season, I can't fit it in the Porsche anymore. :D

However, I did, in the Yukon, haul by Willie Thomas last year heading to the G.R. CRL doing 98 mph the whole time on I-96 (stupid Yukon was governed at 99 mph - talk about good throttle control keeping that baby at 98. haha). The only reason why I found out it was him is b/c he came up to me at the race and said I blew by him like he was standing still. I told him that if he drove faster, that wouldn't happen. :p

I am having fun with this, now that my wife showed me how to use spell check. :) :) :) But I'll be having real fun when I'm racing. My work hours suck , so the CRL will be all I'll have this winter.

K~ sounds liek you need to get a job where you are on the computer all day, or the hours are more condusive to the rest of our r/c schedule

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I found good tires for CHEAP!

which means an entire set of wheels, tires and inserts will only cost $35!

and you can get them from Stormer Hobbies here in the states, also did you notice that the wheels come in different compunds too, pretty cool I think:thumbsup:

I would take credit for Dave Johnson and Josh's speed, too, if I could. But, I was living in Grand Rapids during their formative years. I did spend some time living in Los Angeles, Chicago and St. Louis. In LA I ran club races with Brian Kinwald and Rick Howart. Those guys got pretty fast just after that. In Chicago it was Brian Juca. He's now one of the top Associated guys. Then it was St. Louis and Steve Lafara. And now Detroit. I think Dave Johnson would start slacking if he didn't know that I was coming to the track.

Coincidence... I think not!

Everybody in the country is fast because of Hammie.:devil: Let's just all bow down to the r/c god right now. On the first through the sixth day of the week he made everyone in the country fast. He must have rested on the seventh day. I have one question for you Hammie. How are you going to pack all of your r/c stuff AND your gigantic head into your corvette and get to the races.:devil: :p :devil: :pOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HERE WE GO AGAIN.

gee, and he was trying to get on my case.... Damn Hamilton, your worse then anyone I have even known... r/c, track and field, full sized car's (SCCA, regional's and national's)......

Psycho - There goes your chance to get my speed help. I will now put a slow hex curse on your racing program.

And Greg - I want my chassis back, since I showed you how to cut that. And, I want my shock set up back. Oooh... and the 30 hours of time you spend using my Fantom dyno at Cleveland. And don't mention the number of tires trued on my truer. Look out Cleveland roomie... there may be a white tape line down the center of the room this year. I mean really... the number of hours you spent practicing meant nothing... NOTHING! It was just my presence that made you go fast. ADMIT IT!!!:)

I feel like I am back in elementary school. :hat:

aaaaaahhhhhhhh ahahahha thank you Hammie this is all a riot. I like playing around like this. In all seriousness though me being a dedicated off-road racer, I won't need any help from your hex. The learning curve alone will slow me down. Also it's not like you were gonna help me anyways I am from west Michigan. (although I almost moved to Ann Arbor a year ago.) So lets just take it to the carpet brother.CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE HAMMIE IS COOKIN. yep and it stinks. :p :devil: :p :devil:



<-------------------------

:rolleyes:




me
STILL ducking the internet driveby.

gee, it is MY room thank you very much, should I have you pay first this year?

And be on notice, you will not try to kick me out of the room this year like you almost did last year, I don't care if yoru woman is there or not....

Forget elementary school. These lovers quarrels are quite entertaining!

well, if Keith wants the room for the same hooker that Mark was dancing with last year, I'll gladly get the hall out, and then firebomb the room!

OK, now I need to install the "Chang Bumper", for max. projectile trajectory!

John - with all the crap I haul around for indoor season, I can't fit it in the Porsche anymore.

Poor Rich...:cry: ...lol

I'm sure there are Hooters chicks in Ohio, too......:D

Yep, but I've been done with that for a couple of years now. Wonder where that P.O. of mine went anyway? Last I heard about him, he was going to visit somebody in the Detroit area!!

:wave: :dude: :rolleyes:

If he went to Detroit on business you can forget about him, because he will retire before he deals with all the parolies over there.:devil:
