Tortiricce-Del-Guapo

Buddylee,see me Sat.,I'll hook you up,just made a big score on 4cells.

Sweet! Cryul is now running for Xray. Now, eventually, I will have a killer setup for mod! :) Probably about a month after the champs. Lol.

hey could some one tell me were they race tc in clevland on saturday or sundays and if there is a web site or an address thanks

Kyosho 7.5,

Sunday racing in Cleveland is at "The Gate" (Southgate Shopping Center) near the intersection of Rockside Rd. & Northfield Rd. For more info and directions to the track, go to www.the-big-al.com/norcar.

BTW - The best place to race on-road on Saturday is "The Beav"!
:thumbsup:

Have Fun!
-Jason M.

Hey Buddylee503

b donk a donk lol

shes not a b donk a donk....shes a b dunk a dunk

I guess you just had to be there.

Man, it's ga dunk a dunk!

Get it right.

Hey thanks to "Mucho" for his recommendation. We will be racing this Saturday (doors at 1PM, racing at 3PM) and then will NOT race next Saturday (Cleveland Indoor Champs).
WELCOME to our "new" contributor to this thread- RAYCER D , who obviously is.................? Anyway, I personally wish him, and his teammates ALOT of luck this Thanksgiving weekend!! I will be there to take "group photos" :lol:
Little-T, what is it with ga dunk a dunk? Is this supposed to be hyphen-ated? Is there anything that you don't know?????????????
Thank you to all that have come to practice for the upcoming race, and shoot for a better mains placing than you had last year. John @ RJ :wave:

Ray can answer that one.

(UrbanDictionary.com has 'ga dunk a dunk' w/o any hyphens; we'll see what Webster has to say about that...)

Oh yes, and if you happened to get a dead transponder battery last year, bring a rabbit's foot this year...

Hey everyone, just sayin good luck to all of us that are going to indoor champs. Lets all have a good time and fun racing, and lets dig that factory guy for all the speed secrets. See everyone that is attending on Wednesday. :wave:

Little-T : If you get a "dead" battery this year in the mains, make you-know-who(bill) pay you back for your entry...........
Buddy: Your new bodies are done, and YES, GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ARE RACING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope Raymond doesn't reply to that, because he needs to GET THINGS READY!!! We are going over to the "Gate" Tuesday afternoon, and get some track time in with his new team "captain"- TODD HODGE!! Yes, you read this correctly...........
See you Wednesday, John @ RJ

John,don't forget those Losi banners!
Have fun,see ya Sunday.

Wow. Ray Darroch running for Losi. Awesome. Good for Ray. He deserves it.......

Good luck to everyone at the Champs.

RB Love

I just want to be one of the first to congatulate Ray on his impressive showing at the Cleveland Indoor Champs. I wasn't there, but judging from the results posted on the web, Ray ran extremely well.

Stock Touring A Main - 3rd place

Stock 1/12th B Main - 2nd place

Modified Touring E Main - 8th place

Again, congratulations to Ray and all other participants from River Junction.

Let's face it - anytime you even QUALIFY for an A Main at this type of event, YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING! Ray's performance was commendable!

From an old oval guy ......

Kevin

Thanks Kevin,

It was a long week but we all had fun. My new Losi cars are awsome I just need a little more than a week with them to make them perfect but there close.


And a congrats to everyone else from team beave for how well they did.

buddylee great job keep it up.



Keven one more thing you are not just an "old racer" you still kick a$$.

Ray Ray,

Awesome weekend bro. The Losi cars were simply awesome. I am happy for you to be on that Team. Hodge is a great guy....



RB Love

Hey John,

I want to address something w/ you that seemed to get you miffed at the Race. But it was meant as a compliment. I knew you were right behind me when we first looked at the track and I said this looks like something JOhn cooked up and that I should have run at Beaver, PA not my own track. You seemed annoyed at that. So just so you know-it was a compliment to your challenging track designs-not an insult!!! I can tell you for sure I was never comfortable in the "Beaver-esque" chicane onto the front straight and my mistake in that corner 100% cost me my shot at the A-Main. I was Crushed after that run-I was almost in tears!!! I dont think I could be more upset with myself as I was at that moment.

See ya soon,
Ray

Ray H.- I really wasn't "miffed" at your comment. I really was glad to hear it, but a little disappointed that people look to our track as too difficult to race at (at times). The SOLE PURPOSE for my changing our track often, and making difficult pictures is just what happened this weekend. Local racers show-up at a "national-level" event, and adjust VERY QUICKLY to the track layout. This adaptabliity gives our guys an advantage when encountering new track layouts. I just wish (out loud) that the field could be more even for ALL racers attending an event such as this............. with a new picture for ALL to drive.........

Ray Darroch- I just want to PUBLICLY COMMEND YOU on your awesome driving skills, given the MANY obstacles that you were presented with this weekend. (New cars -2; body stupidly mounted too low-1; no computer for the dyno..........etc.)
Dan Hartman- I want to thank you for your help leading up to this race, and your dedication to R/C in general. Keep it up, and you'll be chasing Ray-Ray down!! :tongue:
Finally, thank you to all of "our racers" and friends that raced and came to watch the Indoor Champs 2003. I really appreciated the support that you gave, and want to remind you that this is why Sam & I built "The Raceway" and continue it's operation, even in bad economic times. Thanks you, John @ RJ :wave:

Finally, I wanted to start this new reply to congratulate JON ORR on his unbelievable win in the 1/12th MOD "A". That race shows that he STILL has what it takes to be a real champion!!! He IS MR. 1/12th scale!!!

Great job Jon, and hope to have a better/bigger place for you to unleash your 7T on in 2004!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your friendship, and help to all of our racers at the Raceway!!! John @ RJ :wave:

Will there be racing at the beave this saturday? i came for the first time two weeks ago and loved it. So if there is racing ill see you there.

Hello, yes, we will be racing UN-Interrupted through the New Year. Thanks for the compliment! John @ RJ

I would like to thank John @ river junction for all the help he gave me this weekend to make my B main appeance happen.

Ray Ray- Don't listen to John ill always be chasing you and thanks for the support, and great job this weekend!!

To the rest of the beaver crew thanks for coming down to watch us and supporting with your cheers.

CONGRATULATIONS JON ORR....he's BACK

I havent seen a 12L wheeled that well in a long time, congrats to "mr 12th scale" himself!

I'm already dreading the days when ill get beat by little Orrs....

If you don't want to get beat by Orrs,stay in the canoe.

LittleT, that day will probably come alot sooner than you think. Like next month. LOL.

Are you guys running Mod Sedan there? Gate wont be ready till January so I was thinking of coming out for a race this month!!! LIke to run Mod, but stock is of course JUST fine!! I'll bring all six of my smelly/overheatin' 4 mag handouts!! hahaha!!!

How about more info on that Tease about a new facility in 2004??? HHmmm???? I'd love to see the IFMAR worlds held in the midwest someday soon!!!

Ray

Ray, really, do you want to run MOD on one of "my tracks"? :devil: I think we can scare-up a few to run with you, but I was hoping to develop a 19T "mod" class after Cleveland instead...........
The info. about the upcoming project is fairly secret, but I can say that the facility will be possibly the largest on the Eastcoast, both in On-road and Off-road indoor. That should be sufficient to get some rumors going.................. :jest: More to come when dates/ funding are in place. Thanks for asking, John @ RJ :wave:

Hey-if it makes me a better driver-right??? :lol:

19 turn class is cool. A lot of Gate racers are talking about it too. Both for 12th and Sedan. I ran it a lot last spring.

I am sure if we both support a 19 turn class-well both get better participation.

Little T - Bucket,Wheel,Who Ha,Hoopty,Pile,Dialed,Mixers,Wood Chucks.ect. lol

Just wanted to say congrats to John Orr. He is a wheel. Lets see how many more he can TQ and WIN this season.


Glitcher- you have funny jokes.


See you all saturday (if im not working)

Yo.. Superstar.. e-mail me so we can keep in touch. BobboFlacko@aol.com

Nice running last weekend.. had a lot of fun.

Bobby you've got mail. Had alot of fun at the champs too. Good job!!

see ya at the next race

Ray, you forgot our little talk at the restaraunt afterwards about AMBIENT temperature...

This is an invitation extended to all who want to race roadcourse over the holiday time. At the Raceway, we will be racing without interruption, through the holiday season, into 2004. We race Saturdays, with the doors opening at 1PM, and the racing beginning at about 3PM. Pizza arrives at 4:30PM, and the projected race end (with about 40 in attendance) will be at about 8-8:30PM. Race fees are $10.00 for the first class, and $5.00 for every additional class, with prizes given-out to ALL MAINS WINNERS- First in the A Main wins a $10.00 gift cert. from the hobby shop, while the first place in ALL OTHER MAINS wins a "FREE" race entry($10.00 value). So, come over/up/down or whatever, to Beaver, PA, to run with some of the best competition in the tri-state area. Our track designs change WEEKLY, so if there is a track picture that you do not like, then wait until next week.........maybe for one that you will REALLY DISLIKE!! :jest: Thanks, and hope to see you soon, John @ RJ :wave:

John,you forgot to mention that if you don't like the saturday track,maybe try the track on Sunday. :D

Hey, I thought the "Sunday track" was for those whose lives just go in circles.......... :jest: We will be having an INTERESTING track for tomorrow's races..... :devil: Hey, if you survived Cleveland, then one of "MY TRACKS" won't be too bad! Hope to see everyone for roadcourse! John @ RJ

John - Watch how you talk about the oval guys. Some of them may just be reading this thread!

Kevin

Remember that the "oval guys" were racing at "The Beav" wayyyyyyyy before anyone was turning right.

Kevin - again

Oval guys can read?!?!?!? :jest:


Just kidding :tongue:

Yes, oval guys can read.

I'll admit it's difficult to get our heads turning from left to right as we go across the page (we're used to looking left or straight ahead), but we've adapted.

Maybe someday, if we try real hard, we'll be as good as the on-road guys.

I'm just kidding, too!

Kevin

Ha! I'm glad to see that our "oval guys" read other posts about the track that they frequent. Sorry about the circle comment, but you know, roadcourse guys gotta stick together............. Thanks to Brian for chiming in, and hope to see you here over the holidays? :confused:
See all of you soon, John @ RJ :wave:

Oval guys HAVE to read the on-road posts. John has essentially ignored the oval thread in the "other" place on this site.

John - by your latest post, I take it that you're claiming to be a "roadcourse" guy. On Sunday, I'll have to tell all the lefties that you consider us second class citizens. You may no longer be our favorite race track owner.

Kevin

By the way, did anyone note the size of the two areas on this site?

On Road threads - 31,625

Oval threads - 58,847

There are more of us oval guys and we type like crazy!

Yes, it's a slow day at work and I have some time on my hands - just in case you were wondering.

Kevin

Kevin!! I don't know what to say, except that I reply where there are actually POSTS!!!!!!! :jest: Really, our "oval guys" are a little behind-the-times when it comes to forum banter.......... Anyway, I DO APPRECIATE the fact that you CAN READ, and make intelligent (and spelled well) comments! :lol: Hope to see you and your non-chatting oval buddies tomorrow. John @ RJ :wave:

Hey there. I hope to join in on the road course in the near future. Just built a XXXS. I am sure I will get my clock cleaned, but I should at least beat one person that shall remain anonymous... (Allen) – oops. (If he would ever get off the oval and try something thought-provoking) Just kidding of course! :devil: I hope to join in on all the fun soon! :dude:
Mike @ Steel City

Hey John.. I see that Novak has apparently released the SS4300 version of their brushless motor. This is supposed to be the equivalent of a 27 turn stock motor.

For those who haven't seen it:

http://www.teamnovak.com/products/MOTOR/ss4300.htm

Somebody on RC Tech said a couple of the southern California guys had them and that they were good.. but not quite as fast as a well tuned stock. The difference being, of course, that the brushless doesn't require any maintenance.

Two questions....

First, are we allowed to run these at The Beav for stock racing?

Second, if so, can you get me one? How much are they?

Whoops, that's three questions....

For everyone else... what do you think of running these? Since I've just reached the point where I'm considering buy a lathe, new esc, etc. This really would be cheaper pretty quickly. It doesn't seem to be a performance advantage... just a maintenance advantage.

Any thoughts, objections or discussion?

Initial cost is the only problem that I can see getting a class started.
If they are slower then noone will want to run them in stock sedan.
Just my thoughts,see ya'll Sat.
Is Ray Hodge racing or working?
