No need for tables or chairs, the extention cords you will need and a pit light.

you will need and a pit light.

You can say that again.

What a great weekend we had racing in our new building! And what a pleasure it was to see Ken (psycho02) out racing that mandatory 1/12 scale of his.

Don't you think its odd- Brian was running a "modified" stock motor (swapped arms) to run faster, and he still got beat by a long haired hippie freak and a senior citizen!!! I guess he should work more on driving than taking people out!!!

Overheard on the drivers stand- "I hate loosing"- I won't say who said it...:devil:

I have never run foam tires on my touring car (heck - I've only had a touring car for about 3 months...), what tires should I get for my Losi. I was hoping I wouldn't have to buy too many different kinds, but I heard purple rears & double purple fronts might be the hot set-up??? Any help would be appreciated. Also, Paragon for tire compound??

Thanks, Denney

Also, is the track open Tuesday's & Thursday's yet?

Denny the purple and double purple will work or you could go with purple and plaid. As far as tire dope goes Paragon is the stuff if you can find it.

Thanks guys. I'm having a real problem with weekends through Thanksgiving & I wanted to get some 12th scale practice in at least. But come December...I'll be back - battling for mid-pack honors!!!

Also - is there ever much interest in rubber tire touring?

Denney

Sorry Denny no rubber for me till after Thanksgiving.

Originally posted by Denney

Denney In all honesty the rubber tire class has always pretty small until after Clevelands indoor champs race.

Which reminds me....

Starting the first weekend in November, our track will shrink to the indoor champs size of 36' X 72' and our drivers stand will also be changed to the 18" tall Cleveland version for our annual on-road Cleveland warm-ups.

Oval and Stadium tracks and drivers stands will remain the same as normal!

Just curious, what are the current track dimensions. Also did you have stadium races on Sat, if so how did the elevated section work out?

I'll tell you what was odd - I could'nt talk him into letting me run that motor.

Denny,
There was Stadium racing saturday but not many racers, Hint get out and race guys, and the elevated back section was cool lots of air going up on to it.

Our Current on-road track is 42'x84' if memory serves me correctly.

Denny,
if u are interested in any GRP foams like fioroni, ellegi, or oofra <sp>, the Equivalents to double purple is 42 and purple is a 40.

What's this about a 54" TV in your new location? Is that true?

Last year, I wanted to get in the DJ booth and crank up the lights. Just think what we could do with a full bar and a big screen.

Hey Freddie- That just makes me think that there was more to that motor than just a swapped arm... And just in case Johnny Boy hasn't said it yet- I believe we will be running saturday at Riders for the last outdoor "anniversary" race thing and sunday at the indoor track. Get the 12th scales ready! Mine will be in wednesday or thursday.

Oh, and Johnny Boy- I'll either be driving the Laser or the Sunbird this weekend (preferably the Laser). We pick up the Sunbird after I get out of work tuesday.

yeah, its true that there is a large TV in the bar area.

Not to mention the large sound stage with about 15 giant commercial speakers, two or three amps totaling 3,000 watts or more and an overhead light show complete with lazer lights, smoke and bubble machines!

Oops... forgot to mention that there's a total of four bars, a comedy den and stage, a full resturant, five bathrooms in different locations and an upstairs lizard lounge for those VIP'S!!

John, I couldn't help but notice that there has been a 20% increase in entry fees this year. I understand that the rent on the building is the same or cheaper than last year, so I was just wondering why the increase? Since I'm not serving on the board of directors this year I don't have the inside scoop as to the details. As a matter of fact, would you please post the fees. Member - Non member - 1st class 2nd class and memberships, as these are questions that I can't answer when asked.
Thanks in advance,
Fred Fred, nothings been raised or changed from last year. Everything is the same.

I thought that we were not renting those areas so we were to stay out of them so that things were not disturbed.

Originally posted by KawadaKid

Not for members.

Originally posted by knapster
Eric charged me 12.00 for myself and Andrew and said it was per you. Eric was correct.... $15.00 non-members, $12.00 members.

yeah, i think it was.

Wow sorry for mis interpreting the statements.

hmmmmm....how can we settle this argument?

:mad:

Yeah I think that i remember that it was raised to 15.00 for non and 12.00 for members last year or even 2 years ago. I remember john having a big huddle and asking everybody what they felt about raising entry fees. I just can't remember the exact time and day. But I think it was even 2 winters ago. And don't worry John I WILL be there this sunday running12TH SCALE. I just had to do the stupid on-call thing for work this weekend and for some reason about 100 people were discharged from the hospital on sunday morning and I did'nt get done until 2:00 p.m. It worked out though because we had a football game tonight and I had to put together a game plan for that anyways. But I say again I WILL be there on sunday and I will be running 12TH SC ALE. and nothing else.

Fred, heres a copy of the rate sheet you used all of last season.

Saturdays & Sundays

non-members members jr. members
1st car $15.00 $12.00 $10.00

2nd car $12.00 $9.00 $8.00

No, I think it was not. I collected the fees remember. I will also have the old one you used at the track.

Originally posted by nitrorod
Well the club could post the P&L statement from last year and we would all know. What good would posting the profit and loss statement do???????? It wouldn't tell anybody what we charged for entry, it would only tell us the total weekly, monthy and yearly statement!!!!!!!!!

Well I know that we can all agree on one thing that it was $10 this summer.

Originally posted by knapster
I'm sorry Ken but your worng I collected the fees and members paied 10.00

That mad face was not for you freddy I just double posted on accident and had to figure something out for that post so it was'nt the same as the one below it sorry. I just said I think I remember but I could be wrong. I do think that I paid 10.00 for stadium last year though. I am not sure on that one either though.
