Sure was tough racing last night - a certain somebody was cherry picking who to take out when they tried to pass. Maybe it was even more than one certain somebody.

Hard to believe that Coro was so mad at his mini-z that he left it home as punishement. We would have rather he raced it so we could punish it for him on the track.

Bish did a complete hour of moaning and groaning and whining and crying about Dale Jr touching his favorite driver (Slam-Bam Kurt Bush) last Sunday in the Daytona 500. Get over it Bish your driver is a schmuck. And just because Dale likes Tony better - oh forget it.

You let Alison beat you! She will be the Rookie of the year if that keeps up. So it sounds like you missed us the world famous Team Hammer.Well the Anchor and I will be there thrusday to see if Alison whips you again.If she keeps that up She`ll be on the Team :thumbsup:
Coro :devil:
Captain of Team Hammer

Thanks for the compliment, Coro!

I am really enjoying racing at T/C's but I still have a lot to learn! Every once in a while I put in a decent race without too many crashes, which makes me feel good and keeps me going. It was really fun winning the 1/18th B main a week ago, and I came pretty close to doing it again last night. Good racing, guys!

Racing on saturday was good. Not alot of people but we had some good racing.Garrett is having alot of fun racing but just warning you all keep an eye on him when we get back outside :devil:

Think the race director is taking the right approach on the vote for mini-z stock motors. Its a vote some are going to like it and others wont but with the fun racing at Tc's Im sure they will keep racing.

:dude:

My only question is: Who did Chucko hack on all day? :lol:

Anchor :wave:

not a question of who he DID hack its a question of who DIDNT he hack. :p :devil: :D

Quit the whining. Now that I found out that it is a quicker way to the finish line by going thru cars than around them I probably will do better.

Garrets car did its job Saturday, he had no favorites. The A mainers made sure that Bill Jr wasn't going to make any track records. Now that our Merrimac Senior Citizen has his new Yellow Car (It was yellow until he put it on the track and accumulated a little black and red to make it look better) he will run a better line, we need him down in stock with us "Schmuck Racers".

Anchor - how did it go at the 10th race?

Dale Jr is still in 1st place.

Chucko
:jest:

Sat went well, nice track and fast, some banking would make it perfect, but worth the trip.
The car was good, especially for not racing oval for 4 months. :thumbsup:


See ya Thursday :wave:
Anchor

Was a fun day of racing on saturday. We were missing a few people but still had a good time.

Dean Sr Hope the real car is coming along good. We do miss having you around to hack on thursday nights.Im sure Jr would be around also but im sure school is keeping him busy.

Well folks untill thursday guess i will just have to dream about all the smacking and getting run into the wall shots from last week.HAHA bill!!! :thumbsup:

:dude:

I noticed last Thursday when you took that pounding in the corner, that each of the 3 cars did not slow at all when you were tossed like a jumping jack. :eek:

What I did hear was laughter and no apologies, but I would aplologized, after I recovered from laughing :lol:

The car reminded me of Carl Long flipping at Rockingham!

See ya on Thursday
Anchor

Great week of racing last week.

Coro and bullet teamed up on wer4car24 and my self.
Team Hammer!!!!!


Nice weather out right now.....maybe we will get to race
out side soon.


The Mini Z cup is next week. So TC hobbies will be
closed the 11th and 13th.

Anyone else interested in racing at the cup?

Well now that my on-off switch is bullet proof bring on the thrashing. :devil:

Hope everyone is enjoying the weather has the boys and i thinking of racing outside. :thumbsup:

:dude:

Closed?? What will I do with a free Saturday?

And, can you guys post when you get new X-Ray, Mini-Z, etc. parts in? Gotta make sure there's enough cash in the bank.

Dont forget people there is racing this saturday. The next week will be tough no racing. This will be good for some of us so that we can reflect on our past racing wins. Someone raced thursday and also won the a-main. The only thing was that he Cheated :devil:

:dude:

Did they cheat, could of been a mistake! :eek:

Anchor

Funny how the first day of the new rule someone was caught
cheating. Only to blame it on his crew chief. Reminds me
of Jeff Gordon.


GPM motors are not allowed in stock. Only pro stock.
:jest:

Yeah, make sure all the crew chiefs know this!

Anchor

Gee it looks like I should of stayed for that.. :cry:

:tongue:

Well my team mate is innocent,He just bought the car from one of your team mate Mister Techincal and had no Idea it had a cheater motor in it!So if the car comes from your team mate who was cheating and how long? I would say take it is easy on my Ol`Pal Anchor or I`ll loan him a real motor [the one you loaned me HAHAHA] and who will be crying then!
Coro Kid
Team Hammer

Ok well maybe the Anchor made a honest mistake. But with all the verbal punishment he is taking dont think it will happen again.
Think the stock mototr rule is going to work out good. Two days of running it and we are having some real close racing. So see you all in two weeks.

Good luck to you all who have important races next weekend.
That goes for the 1/10 scale guys and the Mini-z crue going to NY. :thumbsup:

:dude:

Oh so does this mean I can rag on the Anchor this up coming weekend??? :cool:

Billy good luck in N.Y. :thumbsup:

Only if you are quick enough! :D

Dancing Dan and Anchor

The TRC tires are in and are available. Let me know when you want to pick them up. I will be leaving tomorrow morning at 7:30 for the regional mini-z race in New York.

Chucko
:thumbsup:

Well we are back from NY.

What a great trip it was. Other then getting home at 3:30 AM.

Dean Costa, Kirt, Scott, Dana, Dad, and myself made the trip.
All of us were there Friday for practice, Scott was working
away getting cars ready. Dana was trying to get the perfect
setup. Dad was whining about the car setup (hehe). Dean was
practicing away. Kirt was always on the track practicing,
practicing and practicing. It sure did pay off too. I was just
putting the finishing touches on my cars. Practice ended at
9:30 and we took full advantage of all the time.

Well with all that practice the NH crowd did well.

Here some results.

Mr01 Stock:
1st Scott

Great job Dana and Kirk.

WOW! Me, you did good !!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job guys :thumbsup:

Wow, congratulations to everyone!

Thanks Bud and BgJonson79

(i changed the me guy to the name) sorry about that.

I'll give you the viewpoint from an observer at the Northeast Regional Mini-Z race held in Clifton Park, New York this past weekend.

The New Hampshire crew, consisting of Bill Sr., Bill Jr., Dana and Scott arrived after a three and a half drive from Lee, N.H. at 11:45 AM on Friday morning. When we arrived we found only one other person there at the track for practice, this was Andrew who is at the track seven days a week. He loves Mini-Z racing. After three hours of hard practice Dean and Kirk arrived from Mass. It wasn't until around six oclock that anyone else arrived from Canada, New Jersey, Conn. or New York. Eric and Rose said that everyone had been there previous weekends and days and considered themselves ready for the event.

By the time we left the track at 10 PM to go to the hotel for some sleep the NH crew figured that they had the situation figured out pretty well. Everyone had to run the same Kyosho equipment on their cars with one exception "TIRES".

Bill Jr. is a master at tires, he had every type and compound front and rear tire he could find. He tried new tires, scuffed tires, cut tires and any other combination possible. The New York track is painted wood with course sand poured into the paint. This makes the track totally opposite from carpet and ashpalt. Hard is soft and soft is hard - totally backwards.

Many people were captive with having only the type tires that their local track or hobby shop carried. Most people had only Kyosho tires because their tracks only carried what they made the most profit on. These racers never imagined that tires could make a difference and when Bill tried to explalin this to them they poo-pooed his knowledge. Those who listened to him and wished that they had other tires were awarded by Bill Jr helping them by giving them tires for better performance.

CONSISTANCY! The races were seven minutes - Bill Jr. knows that just running the track is what wins. If you get behind - just drive the track dont be over trying whereas you screw up and start hitting other cars or walls and lose more time. Just race the track! This comes from practice and experience. Even thought your emotions are going thru the roof and your nerves are making you shake on the drivers stand - race the track and humm to yourself.

I don't want to sound like a too proud father but the local people and other drivers were in awe at the professionalism and manerism of the New Hampshire drivers(this includes Dean and Kirk even though they are from Mass). Bill Jr was interviewed by the New York newspapers and it will be interesting to see what they have to say, if we can get our hands on a newspaper.

I was very proud of the drivers from the TC's Track in Lee, NH. Maybe next year we can have a few more of the drivers attend. We could really give the folks a great showing.

We Had A Ball

Chucko
:thumbsup:

For those who wern't aware

Coro underwent two double bypasses in the Portsmouth Hospital this past week. He was scheduled to go home yesterday. We kept him informed of the regional while we were up in New York.

Bill Jr. will need help with the track this week, I am going to have my spine operated on this Thursday morning and will be out of commission for a short time. Sure would appreciate any assistance you guys can give him. Also would appreciate any ragging you want to give to each other.

Keep Hammering!

:dude:

Hope you feel better, Coro, and that your surgery goes well, Bullet. I can't have just Alison smacking me around the track.

Good Job Guys Sounds like a few of us missed out on a good time.
Congrates To all.

Michele and boys and i actually went and saw larry in the hospital last week. He was doing very well and talked alot about racing and flying. He was even joking around with us and his wife and even the nurses. If they only knew what they were in for. :thumbsup:

Bill hope all goes well with your back will be good to get that taken care of.

Bill Jr boys and i will be there thursday and saturday so if you need a hand just let me know I would be glad to help out.

:dude:

congrats to you new york racers :thumbsup:
glad to hear coro is doing well and hope to be able to hack O i mean race with him soon. Im hoping to be there thursday will help out all i can.

Well SilverBullet It looks like you and I have our own race to race who going to be back first! I hope its soon.I`m very proud of the Boys from Lee They are all great racers.
Coro Kid
PS
Thanks for all the calls ,visits and flowers

Coro,

Glad to see you are well enough to post messages! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Make sure you take it easy like the Dr.'s say and hope to see you back at the track soon. I'll be calling you to check in.

Jim

get well coro

This is really crazy. It's 5:30 Wednesday afternoon and I have to be at the Concord Hospital at 6:00 tomorrow morning. My nerves are starting to bother me so I decided to come out in the store and race my xray around for a while to get my mind off things.
Cant find my AM module or my MR2, Bill Jr must have them.

Some more Xray parts came in today and putting them up on the wall helped take my mind off things for a while. Going to miss you guys tomorrow, Allison it's OK to hammer Shawn around some for me. Shawn you can hammer Allison around for me also.

Coro - get well so we can hammer both of them around.

Haven't heard how any of the 10th scale drivers did this past weekend. How about an update guys before I have to leave.

See you soon,

Chucko
:jest:

Silverbullet

Hope all goes well with your back on thurday. Just had to get a little practice in huh!!!! :devil: You better not sneak in to much cause you dont want to really get used to the carpet when we will be out on the asphalt soon. :thumbsup: I will try to hack around a few people for you while you are resting up. Heck maybe i will paint up a red body so they even think its you LOL!!!


:dude:

Hey guys,

Anyone interested in buying my home track?

$100 but you have to come and get it.

later

Bill

Bullet, hope your surgery went well.

I look forward to decorating the track walls with your red Dale Jr. paint

Saturday racing was fun.Had a smaller crowd but still real good racing.
Think the new stock motor rule is working good in the mini-z class. Has all of us close to the same laps. A couple of wall hits and then you loose first place think its great. Mr-01 is maybe just slightly behind the Mr-02 and the pro-z but with the right set up and driver all three are very close. :thumbsup:

Thanks to the race director for tuning my car. Now if they could just get the driver ability on the parts wall maybe i can get it to do 62 laps also.

Good to see the two surgically repaired racers are doing well it was great to see both of them on saturday.

Hope everyone has a good week and see all you crazy racers thursday.

:dude:

Sorry I couldn't be there to see the new patients! Hope they are both doing well, and showed up to get some driving tips :D

See all on Thursday

Anchor

Silverbullet,you have mail..Hope you are feeling well :)

just got in from my trip last night and decided to check the board today. glad to hear everyone did so well in new york, and i hope both larry and bill sr are doing better. see you all on thursday

Sorry I won't be stopping by tonight. :cry: Have a chance to make some overtime,so I'm going to take it.

Thanks to Bill Sr, Shawn, and everyone else who's been giving me such great racing lately. Yesterday Bill Sr. and I had a fantastic duel to the finish in the 1/18th main. Over the entire second half of the race, we were nose to tail and side by side, and it wasn't decided until the last corner of the last lap. Great stuff!

Larry, I hope you are doing well and getting better fast! I miss seeing you at the shop and believe it or not I miss your teasing and joking around. I hope you'll be back soon.

Bill Sr, I'm glad your back is doing well enough for you to be able to do some racing, and I hope it keeps improving, and fast.

And thanks to Shawn for inspiring me to build a BRP car. Now I'm looking forward to Oval Tuesdays!

Alison

PS. Another great thing that happened on Saturday was that the weather was good enough for me to drive my Cobra to the shop - with the top down! What a blast!

I offered to give rides in the Cobra but strangely only two people took me up on the offer. I hope I didn't scare anyone too badly! :D

I missed my chance for a ride :( :(

I missed my chance for a ride :( :(

Don't worry! There should be plenty more chances as the weather improves.

I would have taken a ride, but the upholstry in the car was too nice to ruin ;-)

Bill Sr >>>> Your order went out today.

Thanks Bud.

Dennis - your order for the tires has arrived and you can pick them up this Thursday night at racing. Bring your mortgage and just sign it over. :jest:

Racing was great last week even though I was on a limited schedule. Allison beat my butt on Saturday and after racing was over Bill Jr. worked on Shawns car and has it all tuned for this week so he can beat my butt also.

I'm sitting out in the store next to the track and can't practice because I can't bend over to put my car down. This is frustrating. But better days are comming.
