If there wasn't anything that bad, why edit it and still not anwser my question?
well it wasnt anything bad because it was posted by a fictional person who doesnt exist .and another thing if someone is using your name shouldnt you contact administration and get your password changed instead of getting another name and bashing? just my opinion if you lie about something like this than you'll lie about anything or are you just jealous that your actually in if for the money and not for the hobby as john clearly is? do you maybe have a split personality and dont know it?

What did I do to get into this mess? RacerX=Mike@SCH - NO! I did correspond with Hank Hagquist about this... he suggested to be straightforward about it. Well, I knew I would not hear the end of it and there are a lot of RJ followers who refuse to believe anything from the SCH end. I wish I had time to be on-line that much.
Deadman, Bashing,? Lying? I strongly suggest you stop in and see me in person to discuss this if you are calling me a lyer. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am one of the most honest people around... even more than you god John. I am not jealous. And if it were the case about "Money"... I would have paid John ten times what he wanted in addition to building the ultimate facility around. I am in it for the hobby and not the money... because there is NO MONEY in this biz! Just ask John! :lol:
I really wanted to work with John as he set EVERYTHING up himself! And I mean EVERYTHING! :) I will not re-open that can of worms because I feel John and I have settled everything between us. He is a good guy and I hope I can get the same respect he has from the local RC racers.
My password was not all that hard to figure out... (something that "Snook" claims to be good at)... and I thought only my closest friends knew it. Speaking of Snookie... When have I called you "Snook"... other than in this post?
I am sure this will linger on for a while and everyone will poke fun.... I would... this forum is all about fun! Actually, I am kind of laughing about this myself... but no matter what I would say to try to clear this up... I will not win! Life goes on. If anyone comments, suggestions or questions, just email me! mike@steelcityhobbies.com I do not want to pollute John’s thread with this stuff.
Thanks!
Mike@SCH!

what you think thats funny!!!!!!!!! well i dont think its to funny that john & sam had to close there doors for somthing that he worked hard at for years to keep going.

I'm right there with you mike O. If it meant that I had to choose one track to race at, and it meant John & SAm would stay open, then Beaver would be my track of choice.

My only question would be, "What does a password have to do with you having two accounts on one message board?" It alomst seems dishonest to me, but then who am I?

I haven't been heard from for a while,so now I think would be a good time.
First,any problems between John and Mike@steelcity were settled maturely and in good faith,therefore there are no problems between them!
Second,any problems between John and Mike@steelcity are between John and Mike@steelcity.
Third,I'm a freind of Johns and when he told me the tail of the split it was in no way a Mike bashing story.John is not a rumor mill or a cry baby,if anyone has formed an opinion about SCH it is their own opinion,it did not come from John,Snookie or me.
If anyone has met Mike,you can see his inthusiasm for the R/C hobby.Go to one of his displays,or events some time and you will see what I mean.

The only way to make a small fortune in the R/C buisness,is to start with a "large" fortune!!!

I think Tony Stewart said it best:"SHUT UP AND RACE!!!!"

So,is that your new name Snookie?-5-lapsdown?

How did the Beaver area weather the storm? Any major problems? Roads still open? Is the Sunday race still going ahead as planned?

Panman, and others, "Beaver" weathered the storm PERFECTLY, and all roads are open to here. The doors will open at 10AM tomorrow (9/19) and races will start at 1PM, with PIZZA! arriving at 12:30 .
Thank you to all who have posted on here (Mike @ Steel City too), and please all, let this pass, just like the guy who keeps trying to hit you in the corners by going straight through them! LOL. John @ The Raceway!

Well here it is 7:40 pm est, and we just got back from the day of racing at RJ Raceway. And what a day it was, had a blast racing. Great to see some of the RJ crew. Can't wait for the next. And by the way, a thanks to John, Sam, Snookie, and all others that put forth the effort to get the great racing back together.........

im not trying to carry on a rivalry or insert my nose were it dont belong. this is my opinion and mine only. ive been to alot of local tracks and each has its own personality. in my opinion its not only bad for personal relationships as well as bad for the tracks if underhanded tactics are being used . from pure seculation thats what i seen in having 2 names. mike if you truely are just a victam of password theft and i have miss judged you shame on me but if you did it to screw with people on here then be a man about it and take the lumps as they come. :wave:

Snookie
09-19-2004, 09:13 PM
Thanks to all who could make it. Had some FUN racing. Wish I could have stayed to run in the mains. Can not weight to do it again. The fall season is just about to begin. It was very nice to meet some new drivers... :thumbsup:

MUSTANG
09-19-2004, 10:54 PM
What a day !! Panman shows up and class begins. I was a slow learner at first. Maybe my Mountain Dew was a little flat?? There was just no fizz... As always, awesome race Kevin, Bomber and 4 cell stock!!! I'll have to do a little bit of homework for next time. Bomber road course is the way to go !!

highster
09-19-2004, 10:58 PM
Speaking of Snookie... When have I called you "Snook"... other than in this post?

I had a few spare minutes, and in about one minute I found atleast two posts, one as mike@stlCity post number 987, and another as RacerXaX in post number 1007.

Not that it's any of my business, but I did see it in the past and since no one has made comment about this question, I thought I would help out....

PanMan
09-20-2004, 08:42 PM
Mustang - thanks for the compliments, but you were right there. You couldn't ask for two more even cars in each main. One mistake and you would have had both races. Good job and great driving!

Snookie - wish you could have stayed. I think you would have been right up there in the main. Maybe next time.

Mustang Bob- you've got some imagination! Bomber Road Course!!! I LOVED IT! We had a BLAST for two heats! The cars were actually pretty good! We sure used the throttle! I gotta hand it to you - you can really be creative with the fresh ideas! Keep 'em comin'!

John and Sam - thanks once again for putting up with us. I wish more racers would take advantage of the "River Junction Select Series". It's always great to get back on the smoothest track around and enjoy the friendly company. Please keep everyone informed of the next date. As you know, "The Wedding Singer" has a few bookings, but I'll try to make whatever I can.

To All Who Missed the Opportunity - try to get there next time. You'll have fun!

Kevin

I think John is racing at the Gate on Sun. to get ready for the Halloween race...

highster
09-26-2004, 05:07 PM
I thought the next race was on the 16th?

RacewayJohn
09-26-2004, 10:17 PM
Yes, it is- he's hoping that I will ALSO have the facility available on the 2nd. But, this Saturday, I will be at McCullough's, then Sunday at The Gate. Next weekend is the Halloween Race at The Gate (both days), and the following Saturday is the 16th, with the doors opening at 10AM and races at 1PM, with PIZZA JOE'S pizza arriving at 12:30PM. Thanks, John @ The Raceway :wave:

PanMan
09-27-2004, 08:10 PM
John - Sorry, but I definitely will not be at the race on October 16th. The Wedding Singer is booked on both the 16th and 23rd.

Maybe next time!

Me and Deadman have a wedding to hit on Friday night, but we should be recovered enough for some racing on Sat......

Wow! I thought I was Donald Trump, no ............Jay Leno, no............ Martha Stewart..........
Maybe I'm getting DISGUSTED with the multiple personalities that a "few" people have on here. The very reason for this seems to be to attract lookers to the threads, and, ultimately, to bring them in to see what's going on somewhere South of here (here= Beaver, PA). I may be stretching my bounds a bit, but racer10a10, dingy, the razor kid, and some others............ need to realize that there are some peoples who may be on to things. I only have "one" e-mail and "one" identity, and people know me and (hopefully) respect me for that since "I" alone stand behind "my" words, and don't have others to say my thoughts or take my heat for my comments.
I think we, as racers, should FOCUS our energies on getting more people INTO this great hobby/sport than to try to write a new cast for SOUTHPARK. 'nuff said. John Peoples :wave: riverjct@earthlink.net

Oh, almost forgot- I'm NEVER going to edit this above, so make as many copies of the original as you like (just like I have of previous post changes in the past, and have them in hard copy form for whoever would like to see them). John.

Wow, I'm amazed I had such an impact on this forum and with the whole RJ thing... unfortunately, the type of impact is not what I wanted to be associated with. And to think I almost did not look at this thread tonight…regardless of the activity… and guess what… it has turned to be about me? Hahaha I am not going to point any fingers on how all of this got started, but this is getting a little out of hand. John is right (again) and my thoughts exactly... this has turned into the beginnings of a soap opera. If “anyone” (Highster, Deadman or whoever) can’t get over this or needs more fulfillments, simply give me a call, email or stop in the store. Or even better, stop in and put your words into your driving on the track… where they really should be in the 1st place. But for all this negative feedback, please stop. I think everyone would be happier to focus on the purpose of this forum. Thanks!
- out
Deadman, I really would not be surprised! Really! :eek:
