Ya,you'll have that.
Where's Eric?Didn't see him in Mikes post.

Mike O'Brien - Nice job on posting the results. That took some time and some typing.

Thanks to all for a fun day of racing yesterday - even if my best pack of 3300's did poop the bed. See ya'll in a couple of weeks.

Remember that I'm computer challenged (the home machine crashed - I can only get on at work) - limited time.

Kevin

Yes! Good job Mike,thanks!
Looked like a close end to the race in spec "A".Good job Joe.

ye speaking about a bad day at the track.......the best thing about sunday was the awesome new body John painted for me.....he's just toooooo nice to me...
I def undertsna dpeople have bad days, all i can do is laugh about it and shrug it off...it's all fun anyway..thanks for posting the results mike..that did have to take a while.....anyway I WILL be back next week...snookie u better get ready cause team hyperdrive is comming for you....on the other hand the old ADX didn't really do too bad....my body post collars kept on comming loose and then my body would rub...ah not to fun and as for spec A i have been hacked by the Head Mechanic of the Great Hobby Town...BS that's all i can say..that business is a dive, it has to be wiht who they have working the place....stick it to the beav...that's my motto!!

Thanks Mike for taking the time to put the laps/times on th is post. Sometime soon, we will (hopefully) have the actual Alycat html info. on a site for all to look at. Yes, I guess that more than a couple did have a bad night, which can happen, but hopefully the luck will turn around. Billy, I'm NOT sure if you meant "stick it to....." or just something like one store MAY be better-staffed than another........ The best thing to do is to keep negative personal opinions about public places in our own heads, and not in view. Thank you though. Obviously, having been in the business for (now 18 years) I have seen alot of stores come and go. Some of these have impacted my livelihood directly. Others are "in it" for being able to buy stuff cheaper, and still others are in business for the "quick sale" and do not care about fostering a new past-time activity that the customers can enjoy for many years to come. This comes at a price to the customer- a quick "fix" in your hobby habit, then on to other things when the hobby gets boring(due to lack of after-sales support).....only to have the stuff collect dust and be "found again" in 10 or more years. John @ RJ :wave:

Preach that gospel brother John.......you have you're heart in this hobby, and I think I speak for every other racer when I say that I could ever thank or repay you for all your support and patience and I'd do anything for you.

and Billy......you just suck.......JK, you took/gave one for the team

Glitcher,check with Bags tues. or wed. good nite to set up new car...

A business does not stay open for 20+ years for no reason.
Sure there are good prices,great service,pretty things to look at,and then there are the things that really matter.
People!
They are the backbone of every business,and river junction has them.Personal service is one thing,moral support and incouragement are something others could learn from John and Sam.
To be truely excited about someone starting in the hobby with their first car, or diving into the parts books for those "wild project" parts,nobody does it like Sam!
Ive never seen another race director take the time to listen to the racers and bend the schedule as much as John.In addition have you ever seen a race director get up on the driving stand on race day or practice night to help out a racer? It's rare.
Where do you think Ray,Chris,and Danny would be if it wasn't for John?
The support is never ending!
These guys are what the hobby is all about-FUN!!And they make it fun every time I go there.
They may not have 35 T-Maxx's sitting around but they do have allot of content and happy customers and freinds that do sit around.
You won't get a social hour at the WallMart of hobbies and you'd be hard pressed to even find someone that cares your there at all!That meens allot to me and i'm sure it does to others also.
I will always support John and Sam in what ever they do.

HackG where are you? Heared you got the boot today.(GIMP)

I think it's "heard" , Snookie.
Anyway, I want to thank Glitcher for his paragraph on "The Raceway" -it was very moving........ :cry: Really, thank you to all who share in his and our feelings about R/C and racing in general. Without everyone's continued support and interest, R/C racing would just be in somebody's basement like slotcars someday. Thanks, John @ RJ :wave:

HackG where are you? Heared you got the boot today.(GIMP)


He likes the boot!
Meatstick wears em :devil: :D
Air Hyperdrive's. :thumbsup:

Hack,you should stop down Wed night.

The rumors are true i am finally in walking boot..... feels good to finally get my foot wet after 2 months of being in a cast..i share the same opinions with glitcher on the track....i wouldn't know how to put compound on my tires if it wasn't for the people at The Raceway....genuinly kind people.....glitcher, i am not going to be able to make it wednesday night, though i seriously need the practice i have lifting, and physical rehab at 4 so i am not gonna be able to make....hope u guys have a good time....let me know what goes down....later

HackG ''HEARD'' you are doing well. Wednesday nite set up for other car. Tired of old one. Need a change. Probley buying new cars in near future..

Uh.....Snook.......uh.......which garbage can was that?(I plan to do a little dumpster diving for race cars).
I can't make it in time for practice but I will stop down after paying respects to a freind.

Heya folks,

I been watching now for a while. Hopefully soon, if I am not brain dead after work, I can get one of my monstrosities running and can at least get some practice in. To be real, I can't drive a RC car to save my life, but what the heck.;)

Deviveryboy

To be real, I can't drive a RC car to save my life,



Hey, Finally someone thats just like me. :thumbsup: :lol:

Hey!You spec guys better bring your "A" game on Sunday.The Old Hippie was smokin at practice tonight!!! :dude:

HackG,he's talkin to you.I still have to make the show,that is if the ''Meatstick'' learns how to play well with others....

Glitcher, its about time I found a little bit of go fast,last week everyone was going past me like I had 2 9volts batteries in my car,looking forward to a bigger spec class,sure did have fun tonight my adx 2 sure felt good once i find the gearing for some more speed it will be better,my son in-law matt and his bro paul had a good time tonight they did'nt look to bad for the first time, at times they look better than allen and times just like him,but all in all not bad.


Franf

Wed. nite prac. looked more like Spec A & B mains.
Yes even ''pizza fresh hot and available''
Only thing missing was Mary.
Final run looked like we were runnin the main...
All had fun, all looked fast.

Hey! This isn't fair! You guys get to practice and I have to show up ready to go. I get one practice battery to get my setup right. Maybe I should think about moving closer to Beaver.

I don't want anyone to think for a minute that the Old Hippie isn't ALWAYS fast and smooth!. He just has that reputation for sandbagging that he has to maintain. His driving and car setups are A Main material. He's always a threat for the "A".

Spec's a fun, tight class. Practically anyone can make the "A" on any given night. Good racin'!

Kevin

John, just wanted to know how many novices you needed to have to run a novice class. I'm trying to bring in some new blood.

Yes we ALMOST had a race night last night!
Martian, we only need 3 of any vehicle/ability for a class, so, "c'mon on down!"
Panman, take an early retirement (like Frank, Chuck, Gary, Tom-LOL,etc.) and move to a suburb on THIS SIDE of Pittsburgh. I'll even let you come down and help change the track over to oval..............John @ RJ :wave:

Old Hippy was ''fast & smooth'' in wed. nite prac.
I think he's bringin his own pit crew on sunday.
Look to see him in A main..

Not if he can help it.(sand bagger)

Panman thanks for pat on the back,I drive my heart out erery week same weeks are better than others, no matter what anybody thinks I'm having a real good time,when its not fun anymore someone is going to get a real good deal on rc stuff.Thanks again. Glitcher bring it on!!

Old Hippy, is the pit crew racing sun? I think we mite need a bigger table.

Snookie,I think pit crew is coming I'll have to ask to see if there coming to lunch,I'll be there for lunch and a couple of lifes,see you then.Drive it hard

GIVE OLD HIPPIE A BIGBOYS TOYS SPRINT CAR AND A SMALL CLAY OVAL AND LOOK OUT :thumbsup:

Mike,nothing like a banked ovel mars sure was a good time,but its past and now its carpet.time moves on but were still having fun after all these YEARS.I'm glad MEATSTICK is making the A main,sorry for kick in the pants.until sunday

Just rember boys,the only good thing about RACING with Allan is not having to watch Allan race...

Snookie,I think I would reather watch meat stick than race with him .See you at lunch.

Sez You.

All I know is, think things are goin to get interesting Sunday.

Deliveryboy

Old Hippie must have left the SANDBAGS in the bed of his truck for traction to get home in the snow,cuz he sure was fast. Good job making the A.(Allan in B) Thank You very much. Hope all had a good time. :thumbsup:

presto i cant leave anything thing up to you

Mary had incomplete info. Not my falt.Did not wish to post wrong info...

ya ya :jest:
