Yeah. It'll be so much easier for my Orange powered carpet knife to sail past ya. Especially when the sucker smokes on ya....:devil:

In the few years that I've raced, I've never had a Novak go on me. Amen. Can I get a Hallelujah. Oww, Hot Pants.....

Ooohh, looks the spirit of James Brown has taken me again. Lordy, lordy. Can I get a Hallelujah! I feel Good!

later...........

I have'nt smoked a novak or an lrp. I guess I am just partial to lrp. lrp does have a lifetime warranty now too.

Tekin all the way....go old stuff

definitely don't smoke a tekin. Nobody can fix it for you:lol:

The Ada Witch

As so many good stories do, this one begins with love and betrayal. About 100 years ago, in the woods enveloping the cemetery on Two Mile Road in Ada, just on the eastern outskirts of Grand Rapids, a man caught his wife in the act with another. The husband couldn't contain his rage and he killed his wife and began to attack the woman's lover. Both men were fatally hurt in the ensuing melee, and since that day many people have sworn they've seen an apparition of the woman of their desires strolling along the quiet roads and wooded areas and wearing a long white dress. Groups of hunters in the nearby woods have said they've felt taps on their shoulders and the soft sounds of footsteps. While there was nothing there when they turned around, the men say they can't help but feel they're being watched. It's also said people can still hear the sounds of a woman crying as well as the grappling to the death of the two men. The so-called Ada Witch has reportedly been seen inside the cemetery, as well as a strange, bluish misty hue reflecting off the tombstones and following visitors down the road.

Hey, I only posted what I read. I didn't write the story! He-He!!

What the heck? We should'nt even be thinking about being outdoors anyways it's WINTER we should be indoors racing 12TH SCALE CARS and when we ar'nt doing that we should be indoors practicing with our 12TH SCALE CARS :eek: :devil: :eek: :devil:

ha ha ha :lol: So what was that question last night John? What made you think that I was going to retire from off-road?

Ohhhhhh.... I dunno, just a thought that passed through my head because you seem to be very adaptive to running on carpet. And considering the amount of time you've spent doing so, it appears to me that you feel right at home, not to mention your pretty darn good at it!

Well thank you John, I will say this I was getting a little bored of off-road toward the end of summer there. I will probably always race off-road buggy though. I think that, that is what contributes to me being "adaptive" is the fact that I believe that if you can drive a buggy fast you can drive anything fast. I will also say this though I am ready to give carpet racing alot of attention. If I can get just a litle "guidance" and "wisdom":rolleyes: to draw from with my wheel ability I think I could do pretty good at this carpet stuff. I know the first thing I have to do is get out of 5 minute mode and get into 8 minute mode for 12th scale. And next week I will run touring as well to get more track time. Also when I practiced sunday I practiced with green front and rear and I liked the way the car felt alot. then I went to the grey rears and the purple fronts which I thought would be better for racing and they were okay, but I thought the green tires felt better overall. But I guess thats all part of the learning.

[B]Now this is a class worth making manadtory!!!!!!!!!

Mod rubber tire for realism!!! About a 40 sorex with the hardest insert we can find and 6 turn singles.....:eek:

Check these old photos outhttp:// http://www.12thscale.com/nationals/racers.html:lol: :lol:

That looks AWESOME! I've actually watched the full-sized ones race on TV. Those guys are NUTS.

Anyways, I want one of those if they are a r/c car. I'd race that thing. Where did you get that pic from?

Will that body fit on my TC3? Let's culb race those with 19 turns.

Yep, those are R/C cars. But, looks like we'd have to have them shipped over from Japan.

I think that would be cool to have a heat of those!

Ummm Jeff Brown.

those trucks are sweet andy but zI would'nt say that they are any more worthy to make mandatory than 12th scale is. You should see the full scale trucks run. They are so heavy they have to squirt water directly on the brake discs to keep them cool enough. It's crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

That water is also rationed. So, if they run out before the race is over, too bad!

Those guys are violent. Of the races I saw, those guys are ROUGH. I thought I was watching the start of the mains at the Cleveland Champs! :lol:

Interesting Trucks,,,,, However you can get just the body, and they are 190 mm, Here's a link

The Cookiemonster had been talking about running a class of these with a nineteen turn.

Dang - check out their track!!! It has a tunnel!!

http://www.rccarinternational.com/aboutus.html

If anyone orders those bodies, I'll buy one.

Yeah, and check out the bridge coming off the strait!!!!! I wonder if Nick wants to try that???

It would be murder for 12th scale.

Yeah they are rough, I think that, that is just racing in the u.k. though, I am sure you have watched toca touring car racing they are by far the most brutal form of racing I have ever seen. I think they give bonus points for every bump pass that you make or something.

Yea, that is true about Toca. I think the drivers get docked points if both bumpers are still on the car after the race finishes. :D

MAN They are fun to watch though. I don't think we will ever have to worry about any toca drivers making it into formula 1 any time soon though.

Did anybody notice where the driver's stand is located in that picture of their track? It's at the END rather than on the side of the track, strange!

Here's a better pic of it....

Too bad Ann Arbor forces me to watch the International Channel instead of giving me Speedvision. I don't understand why they do that. :mad:

So, the only time I get to watch Speedvision is when I take my annual trip to Toronto in the summer and watch it on my Aunt's TV.

Oh that is too bad Rich tooooooo baaaaaad indeed you missed a pretty good f1 season. Well at least if you are tifosi it was good if not then you would probably think that it was a boring season.

WHATS UP JOHN????????:eek:

Yeah, Fred Baumgartner would rub it in weekly how I could not watch F1.

Nothing really. Except doing a little tweaking on the Tamiya.

Well it was pretty much the ferrari and schumacher show this year. That was okay by me I have been a schumacher fan since the days of benneton ford. The last time ford won a world championship.

You had better do alot more than tweaking on that darn thing. I am coming for you in touring this sunday as well as running the mandatory class.:devil:

Uh-Huh.... you'll be lucky to make the "A" with the sedan!!

Ummmmm I highly doubt it big fella so do you, You know I will be in the A you are just scared and trying to trash talk to hide your fright.:eek:

Hey there all, how's it going? I see lots has happened in the time while I was away. I stopped into the new track tonight to check it out, and I'm not sure how I like the raised section of the track. It makes the track look really small, plus I know my driving, and it's going to be the cause of much carnage on my truck. I haven't run on it yet, as my truck is in pieces, and some parts are even missing (probably in one of Mr. Clean's nitros.) :lol: The lighting in there does leave much to be desired, but a few large halogens around the track and pit areas could help that...now to find someone who happens to have an abundance of them just laying around.... Anyways, hope to see everyone out there on Saturday.

And yes, your correct, I do think you'll be in the A, only thing is you'll have to follow that Tamiya of mine to the finish line!!

Well hey there Om-Ua-Ga-Pie.... glad to see your back!

Yeah I will follow it about every third lap as I lap it. And yeah I know I will be in the A. I was watching and keeping track of lap times for the A touring car heats. I know I can run that pace. You had better get that one way out of the front of that thing and those nitro touring foams off and bring your best game sunday or else you'll be through:lol: :devil: :thumbsup: :wave:


ha ha ha check out my post number on this one.

Mark of the beast!

You'll find out come sunday.
