Well not to sound way out of line here!. But the last time i was told that both the lights and heat would all be part of the rent? :confused: Besides I know personaly that I had to hand out candy or let the house become one huge pile of toilet paper!:devil:
Not looking to cause any waves, just want to charge my batteries and run them!see ya :wave:

You are very correct sir. However, when the bills we create become more than we're paying then there's cause for concern. Our landlord noticed that all the heaters were left on from Thursday thru the weekend for a total of four straight days. I received a phone call from him informing me of that, and he also mentioned that he was under the assumption we were to only be in there on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 to 10:00. Anyway, to get to the point, he's putting a little pressure on me to help him keep the bills down so he doesn't have to raise our rent to compensate him for the differences.
KawadaKid 11-08-2002, 11:42 PM Thanx Dave, I will go see if they still have one.
DamageIncRacing 11-09-2002, 08:27 PM HEY JOHNNY BOY!!! Not sure if I'm going to make it up to race sunday. But if I do, keep your eye out for the Laser. I spent all day- and I do mean ALL day- saturday checking wires and hoses to make sure things were O.K.. I took the thermostat out cuz it was acting funny. The blasted thing still runs rough though. If I come up to the track could you give me a hand looking at it? Probably going to check plugs and timing. Lemme know man!!!:devil: :D
DamageIncRacing 11-09-2002, 08:28 PM Oh- If you've got a "good" spark plug gap checker thingy could you bring it?
nitrorod 11-10-2002, 08:54 PM This weeks results for everyone but the oval guys (someone keeps forgeting to give me them) can be found here (http://home.attbi.com/~jglover37/GLRC_Results.htm)

ric-o'-shea 11-10-2002, 09:10 PM HI John what size track are we racing on right know and what size is it normal.:dude:
John Warner 11-10-2002, 09:42 PM Ric'.....
Present size is 36' X 72', Normally we run on 42' X 90'.
Hey I think I know who painted those bodies.... Norlock, right???
John Warner 11-10-2002, 09:46 PM Okay, I've been trying to figure out where Kickyfast went and am about to give up. But, I'll try one more time..... If anybody sees Teresa, could you ask her if by chance she may have him tied up in restraints and hidden someplace???
:rolleyes:
John Warner 11-10-2002, 10:00 PM Which reminds me, where was that Ken fella today? I seem to remember him posting I'll be there this weekend without a doubt!! He would have had his work cut out for him considering. I think I may have finally figured that Tamiya out. It qualifiyed third, and would have finished second IF some ignorant fool would have remembered to replace the batteries in his transmitter! It died on the last lap!!
nitrorod 11-10-2002, 10:14 PM No way this guy is much cooler then Kris. But he has never been toilet papering...

Monkey boy went and gotz all grow'ed up now. Being all responsible like. Actually, he's doing some home improvement. Seems getting rid of the "barely Walking and Talking" couch holder-downer and tv quality inspector was only the beginning.
Besides, all his batteries now be mine. And his Turbo 35 :D . At least until the racing bug bites him squarely in backside......
psycho02 11-10-2002, 10:45 PM U better watch it j-glo i know i am faster than u on dirt and carpet and on anything for that matter:lol: No I was stupid and let the honey do list catch up to me badly. We have leaf service in spring lake where they come and vacume all the leaves out of your yard and that is tomorrow but i did'nt know about it until today so instead of standing around with a transmitter in my hand i got to stand around with the rake in my hand. And oh by the way johnnie i also have my tc3 a little more figured out I have a much more drivable setup on it now so I will be ready. I made a call to the boys out at Associated and told them what the car was doing and what I wanted it to do and they squared me away.

Hey Pete, how goes it?? I've been wanting to get ahold of you, but didn't know how. I'm not currently racing anything due to parts failure (XXX-T) or lack of tuning ability and driving finess(SP?) (XXX-S) I have your car rebuilt and cleaned up if you want to pop by the track or I could meet you at Rider's or something to pick it up. Thanks a bunch for letting me use it. I only used it once indoors before converting the FrankinLosi back into a sedan. See You later:wave:
zerosan 11-11-2002, 11:29 AM Andy tou can get my cel # from John or Fred,and i also look at this thing every once in a while,too.hehehehehe

Sorry you couldn't make it, it would have been MY day!! The Tamiya started and finished all 3 heats and the main. Stupid one way!

Rainn2378 11-12-2002, 12:50 AM Hey John how come you never answer when someone IM's you?

Lexan magnet? That's a new one. I was under the impression that they were just board magnets. What is the side effect of a lexan magnet?
Oh! I know. They had lexan magnets in an attempt to help drag your puppy car around the track. Or, was it to repell you from taking them out? HeHe.
Why were you 2 laps off the pace?

Ken, I'd be happy to fill your order, just drop me off the body/bodies whenever. I know there's no rush since there is still a few days left before the MARS series starts again. ;)
And just a general post to anyone wanting me to paint some bodies. Prices are as follows:
Sedan, nascar, monster truck bodies, etc.. $25
stadium truck bodies, 1/12th scale bodies, etc.. $20
1/18th scale and Buggy bodies $15
Also one last note to the people who keep slacking off and not getting me bodies to paint for them to run In Cleveland in TWO WEEKS!!! I paint bodies on a first come first serve basis, so if you slack off much longer you will get to paint your own body for Cleveland. I will not make any promises about getting stuff done for anyone if you give me your stuff after this Saturday. I will also need up front payment from those people b/c I don't have enough materials to do the 6 or so bodies I will most likely have to do in such a short time, plus anyone else that drops off bodies to me. Sorry if this offends our angers anyone, but I will not be put in a position that makes me look like the bad guy b/c somebody only gave me one or two days to paint a body before they leave or something.
Phat Dakota 11-12-2002, 01:29 PM OK, on a more serious note. Our club needs everyone's help to stay successfull. So far this year there has been only a small few of us willing to help out around the track on a daily basis and I really thank those people, but we need some more help. Mainly in the areas of getting some more tables set-up for more people to have a pit space, help taking out the trash ( I know, it sucks), help getting some stuff set-up so we can have a snack bar, and help running the races.
I will be at the track today and most likely Friday night and early Sat Morn.(6:30-7:00 ish) to do some of these things. We also need to get some more materials for the pit tables, most importantly some Romex so everyone can have electricity at their spot. And so I can electricute myself some more.:eek: If you can only spare an hour or so that's great, every little bit helps.
I also wanted to thank the people who have already said they would be willing to help out running races, and I would be happy to teach those people how to use Autoscore this week also.
OB 1x 11-12-2002, 05:24 PM hey there bad andy, just wondering if you were still interested in offing the xxx t for the fore mentioned price? i believe i have a buyer for that as well. if you can let me know before this weekend one way or the other, i can make arrangements for the cash by this weekend i think.
:thumbsup:
OB 1x 11-12-2002, 05:31 PM tom, just to let you know, warn-out was lapped before his transmitter died. but it was a great hack fest out there, you should have seen it!

The only "great hack fest" is one that you and I can avoid. By looking at the lap times, it appeared that there must have been a little bit of bumper cars going on.:roll:
I am planing to run to in GR this weekend. That's the only way my son Anthony will race. He is not interested in going to Lansing. Oh well.
John Warner 11-13-2002, 01:27 AM There's more truth in this than anything I've read in many years!
Bill Gates' speech to MT. WHITNEY HIGH SCHOOL in Visalia,
California.Worthwhile reading for anyone. Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! To anyone with kids of any age, or anyone who has ever been a kid, here's some advice Bill Gates recently dished out at a high school speech about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it.
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $40,000 a year right out of high school.You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping-they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

:thumbsup:
Why yes I have been interested in offing the XXX-T. I just wanted to make sure you know that it doesn't come with any electronics just the rolling chassis, a bunch of extra springs, and like 8 pairs of tires. And I also just replaced everything in the transmission too. It also has a set of front and rear axle carriers new in the bag, and I have to dig through my stuff but I know I still have the standard truck chassis as well. I will bring everything I can find for it to the track this weekend.
Phat Dakota 11-13-2002, 04:12 PM I found some goodies for my new Micro RS4 as well, and these improvement will also be put up against the mandatory 12th scale class. The main improvement can be found here:
Zoom!!! (http://www.teamepic.net/SEEIT.html) :wave:
Wally World 11-13-2002, 10:47 PM ok ok when are we getting one.yes that brougt me out of hiding:eek:
