Yep, Tom Konesni couldn't stay up with the Tamiya in any of the qualifiyers, but when it came to the main he found the much needed horsepower and wheel skills lacking in the three prior races. Congratulations Tom, then there's next week!!

I was just setting you up. Ha! That what happens when I spend time getting Anthony running better and don't take care of my own equipment. The main is the only thing that counts in the record sheets. The bragging right is mine again. HeHe.
Next week will be Tom's all the way.

But John, It's already been your turn to bring up the REAR. But, if you want to continue bringing up the REAR go ahead.
I'll be working on our cars for a change instead of waiting until Sunday. I've got to measure up and duplicate Anthony's car. It's so much better than mine. I'm hoping for a little more heated racing this week.

Hey lookie here!
I'm up to 33 posts. I'm catching up with ya all.

Hey Nitro Noodle, Are you by chance going to bring by the floppy disk of all the pictures I took two weeks ago??? I would really like them back you know.

Phat I have it in my truck and will bring it to you tonight at the dungeon.

Kool, thanks!

I'm finally back from my world tour...

Andy - Let me know if you still need any help with set-up around the track.

Still no Thursday practice? This could be a BIG bummer, since I can't make it much on Tuesday's & didn't want my first 12th scale drive to be during a race.

Will the track schedule be any different during the next 2 weeks, with the big to-do in Cleveland coming soon?

Thanks, Denney

Another glorious day of practice, it was colder in the building than it was outside today. Well if it's going to be like that this weekend I will be sure to pack up everything and move to warmer temps, like the south pole! Thank god I went to Hooter's tonight and saw Danielle to made my day worth something at least. I'm sure glad our new owner was there to pay the gas bill so we would have someplace to race this weekend. I'm sorry to everyone but there is only so much I can take and this is way beyond that.

:eek:

Andy do you know if you have the membership card this weekend and where did you get the photos of that car I would like to check it out. Thanks Roy:roll:

However, the club now owns it's very own electric auto-feed laminator. I was working on them last night and I'm sure I'll have eveyone's completed prior to this weekend.

As far as the no heat situation goes, my vote is that we attempt to locate and secure another building. There's to many issues with this place.

I second that.

Since I am a card-carrying club member, I vote to look elsewhere too. Let me know if you need any help looking, and more importantly, moving.

Denney

I also vote to look elsewhere.

And Denney, yes and yes to both of your questions:D

WOW thanks for the fast reply john, Andy I would have to agree with you guys on the building lets find a better one. With heat and some lights what about the last years building. I thought I heard some talk about it any possibilities.

John do know if the kawada gears spur, pinion are the some pitch as your tamiya do they any distribtors in the USA.

Kawada uses standard pitch gears.

Roy, as far as i know, i have heard that RC Imports will be importing kawada but im not for sure.

John,
I also think we should start finding another place. If we try to hold a race at our track, people will come and laugh and then leave once they have seen the lighting.

You have mine and Anthony's vote to find a new building.

Now here's a question. Are we going to have any help getting this done? Seeing as how November is pretty much burned up, we would have pretty much december to mover everything. I know a month may sound like a long time, but with the less than impressive turnout this group had earlier setting up the current building, I'd have to wonder if we could get it done by the time the CRL race rolls around.

I guess we'll find out just how much interest this group really does have in racing and it's future in GR.....

I have 7 vacation days scheduled for the month of Dec. I can help with a relocation.

Thats very nice of u tom, but to get this done, we need a whole club effort. If we dont get more than we had last time, we wont make the CRL Race, that is if we chose to move.

I also vote to move. I know Iam not very much help but I will do what I can.

I am not a club member but I am more than happy helping you guys move.I work in gr so any day will work.Also If it happens on a weekend I can get a couple of my local rc freinds that will be more than happy to help out!

I AGREE MOVE IT ALL AND MAYBEE BE READY FOR CRL!!!! :D

Is there a new building lined up??? How come the owner won't hook up any heat in the one we are in now??? Are we gonna have to take him out to the woodshed and teach him a lesson or 2? :mad:

I say move to another building. As for the move itself- I can help out for a few hours after work. If we get enough people that come out and DONT STAND AROUND FOR HOURS ON END it shouldn't take more than a week to make the switch from packed up to layed back down.

OB1 and I probably have the most to lose if we move cuz we are only like 5 min. away from the track, HOWEVER, the lighting does stink the fact that there is no heat actually made me just say forget racing :eek: . So with that I too agree that we shall move....

As for helping move, I work 2nd shift so i cant help at night, BUT i will be there during the day if needed and weekends for sure.....

my 2 cents

So, when this impending move does happen, are we going to put up any flyers at the local Hobby Shops? Or are going to keep this an internet thing.....?

Bill...

We'll use the Internet sites, personal email (which I have 300+ addresses), flyers at ALL hobby shops, telephones, smoke signals and carrier pigeons if necessary! We'll get the word out one way or the other.

I don't care where we race as long as it has heat....also, with the helping out part, I don't have much free time (I'm working 2 jobs and coaching), but I can do any of the flyer parts or emailing stuff or making calls, whatever you need.

carrier pigeons!

Smoke Signals? Heh, we could just use AJ's car! I'm sure it'll be smoking soon enough....:D

Also, I find that a friendly note wrapped around a rather thick brick tossed through the old front window is a wonderfull way of spreading your message also.....:rolleyes:

So then is there no racing this weekend??:confused:

So, after all these years of me wondering who it was that was advertising their auto glass shop using that very same method you spoke of!!!

I also believe that the kkk and the italian and irish mafia orginizations also found this a useful method of communication over the years.

Hey John, are you guys racing this weekend??

Nick,

I'm not sure at the moment. I'm waiting on a phone call, but I should know more a little later on.


To those of you that were asking about where
to get your "Tekin" stuff and anything else
connected with RC electronics repaired, you
can take a look at the website located here..... http://www.dnmelectronics.com/

Their in Ohio.

I think Nick also has somebody in his
area that's doing that kind of work to.

Okay, here's the update...

We WILL NOT be racing this weekend.

Sorry....:(

Are you going to be at the track this weekend at all? I would like to get my stuff, plus i gotta pick my body up from Andy. Also, if yu want to get started getting stuff packed, i can come by saturday and help out.

So do you have a new building yet john or is that still up in the air?

I can help start to pack up stuff too on Saturaday but I guess it looks like Lansing on Sunday, so who is going? Anyone need or want a Ride?

Steven,
I will be at the track on Saturday to pack up my stuff. Also, I know Jeff has all of his stuff there as well. I'm pretty sure he's working at Rider's on Sat. so we can all just head down there after he gets out of work or during his lunch hour or something. Just pop into Rider's Sat. afternoon and have him call me or you can give me a call at home, my # is 977-0226.

I got your body done on Wed. night and it looks pretty sweet. The only thing I didn't care for was the light blue highlights in the white. It doesn't stand out enough for my liking.

I was thiking of doing the same thing with my headlights too. Andy can I get the air brush back from you so I can paint my body? Or you could just do it for me.:devil:
