Fortunatly you're one of a kind.
A Hobby Talk Pro is the only kind of Pro you'll ever be.
You've got wwaayyy to much time on your hands.

I prefer to run the order the way it stands. I can't understand why you want a grudge race between just you and I. I would have to spot you 1 1/2 laps just to make it fair to you. Hehe.
Or you'll have to bring that string and tie it to my rear bumper. Maybe you can use it to sling shot past me. Not

How will you keep that toy of yours together long enough to finish a race? Was this grudge race only 1 lap? :devil:

Hey John,
Did you fall asleep or are you going to reply?
Oh! Are you speechless again?

John Warner
11-06-2002, 11:54 PM
I'm speechless I guess. I didn't mean just you and I, I meant that we'd run together in a heat or two. You know, in traffic but NOT 10 cars!! And don't you lose any sleep over that POS Tamiya of mine, it'll be just fine.

OH MIGHTY PRO Mr. Warner Sir (I should should respect for my elders)
See what happens when I come out of lurking. I even dropped the stealth mode.
I will bring my toy race car to GR Sunday.

tom konesni
11-07-2002, 12:09 AM
Large boxes of parts?
What are you expecting a demolition derby?
You know that leaving broken parts on the track is a form of littering.

What are you expecting a demolition derby? [/B] No, but I drive a Tamiya, remember? Littering huh, I assume there's a charge for that!

John,
I know how to save your car from damage. I have a fairly new bottle of CA comm drops that I can let you try. They work miracles in reducing the car's kinetic energy and vibration levels. Let me know.:thumbsup:

I'll mount rubber bumpers around the periphery of my body just in case he tries to play bumper cars with me. Hey John! Are you going to defend yourself? He must be sleeping. These elderly gentlemen can't keep up with younger guys. HaHa

Awsome word choice.

John Warner

NO MORE PRACTICE ON THURSDAYS.

We're not getting enough people showing up to afford to light and heat the place. :( Maybe things will change eventually.

KawadaKid
11-07-2002, 05:20 PM
I thought we have been getting enough. I think its just last week that makes it seem that way.

How many trick or treaters did we get last week?

Sense your so interested, I threw my dumb a$$ kid out. As your well aware of as early as last winter, Alex had plenty of outside help making the WRONG choices in Life.

YOU GO FREDDY And that is not sarcasm. :thumbsup: Fred talks it and walks it. Which is a good thing, if I were in his shoes I probably would have done the same thing. I have already told my oldest boy that when he is 18 he better be on some sort of life path. I don't care what it is but he better be headed in SOME direction. And if he is just hanging out being a dumb a$$ at that time I will throw him out as well.

Thanks Ken.;)

So whats everbody's opinion on this no thurday practice thing? Any suggestions about what to do? I would like to hear your input!:wave:

psycho02
11-07-2002, 07:45 PM
WEll if you can't justify paying to have the doors open then thats fine. Having the doors open on sunday is better than not having them open at all.
