Who all is running tonite...trying to decide to run tc or oval or maybe both.

Eugene

Me and Chris (Schumacer, even though he drives a TC3 now lol) are running stock TC tonight and Sunday.

-Eugene

I went to track yesterday to get some practice in but picked up the wrong radio so no track time...I am off today so I'll try to get some track time and decide I see if i'll run tc...don't really want to get in way.

Eugene

lol, trust me you wont be in my way, lol. I will be playing catch up all night I am sure if I can keep it in one piece that is....:)

-Eugene

Good showing at the track lastnight guys. How about that "A main Eugene"? Too bad your ballcup didnt want to play. And Eugene B. good run for you too. Actually after the carnage in the first round of qualifying everyone did pretty good comparitively speaking. I'll be leaving you guys alone tomorrow to race oval. Hmm? Go fast turn left, hit pvc. How fun is that?

Thanks David :)!

And Dave P. THANKS FOR THE SETUP TIPS the car was glued after I loosened the rear diff up! I had a blast! I really wish I could have finished but it was fun nonetheless....can't wait for tomorrow.
I think an oval car is in the works for this summer for me too...you guys look like you are having too much fun for me to miss out and more racing is always a good thing :)

Oh and about being rusty David? I only hope I can be that smooth on a good day as one of your bad days lol.

Thanks Bear for the Epic. I have had lots of problems with the monster that I have been running. last night was the last straw . Made the A-main and half way through I have a brush stick on me . The car had no power and then wouldn't move at all.Got back to the pits pushed in the brushes and it came back to life. (I need a hood alignment).So even though you didn't like the Epic it will do for me this Sun. I was going to buy a Epic after the brush incident anyways so thanks alot.
-Chris G.

Chris, That hung/stuck brush was probably caused more from the dirt and dust on the track lastnight. I pulled and cleaned my motor after every run including practice. Hopefully the track will get a much more thorough cleaning tomorrow.

Yeah I clean mine every other run. But this motor has been a pain from day one . It won't be in another main again that's for sure lol.

Well Dave I may not have finished the a-main but I got through half of it w/ you so I guess we did get Butts and Doody in the same race. If I ever get fast enough to catch you will that mean you have Doody on your butt? :jest: And if I get to be the fastest, lol, I guess everyone will have Doody on their Butts! :D That certainly can't be any worse than Bear landing in (on) Doody during the 2nd qual. :lol: Hah, I kill me.

Changed Avatars..lol this Bling guy is a trip!!!lol

Didn't survive another main. 7 laps in and broke an a-arm.Oh well. My quest for 19 laps is over. the track will change tues. for the better.But I will always want to run one more lap than I actually can.lol

Well Chris, I feel for ya buddy. I've broken my tc3 in that same place on the track about five times now. Allthough the current track design is only abou 6 months old it should have been changed about, Well, 6 months ago. :eek: We'll see if the planned change happens. I for one would just like to see the garbage picked up and the cans emptied. I'm not doing that. :mad: See Y'all at the track again soon.

Who is designing the new course?

Bear had a couple of proposed drawings today. Looked real nice. We will be out there Tuesday making the change. Going to be alot more fun.

-Eugene

I personally would tlike to see more chicanes. :lol: Preferably at the end of a straight. Oh, and maybe some double apex decreasing radius corners. What I really like is that I finally made 19 laps and now they're going to change everything. C'mon it took me six months to learn this course!!! JK change is good. :cool:

don't rub in the 19 laps Ray.. I shoulda, woulda,coulda, today :cry:

all of you shutup


*muttering* stupid turnbuckles

:lol:

Any of you guys driving a losi have an extra front shock shaft or where I can get one right away. 103rd HW don't have any go figure...bummer have to check w/op on monday

HEY I found it!!!!!

HERES BBBBBBJJJJJJEEESSSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

hey guys theres a 80percent chance of rain tomorrow,so we'll have to move redoing the track till later in the week.maybe thursday?let me know.

yea, i saw that on the news this morning Bear. I was wondering if you were still going to try for it or not.

-Eugene

nah i dont wanna play in the rain.maybe wednesday or thursday.

Everyone welcome Bbbbrrraaaaad Jesseeeee(pronounced Jess'ay)to the turn left and right site. :wave: Hi Brad

Bear just lets us know when .I am pretty free this week so whenever. Hopefully before Fri. night
-Chris

Congrats Brad on finding it..lol.Did you figure out why your Losi had a mind of it's own on Sun.?

Was it hidden? Or did he just suddenly realize he had nothing better to do along with the rest of us? "lol"

-Eugene

Congrats Brad on finding it..lol.Did you figure out why your Losi had a mind of it's own on Sun.?

it's probably the big rip in the antenna wire

Jess'ay, that sound a bit Gumpish! "Next thing I knew, I was Runnin' a Los'ay. I liked it so much I got rid of that $1,000.00 TC3'ay!!" :lol:

BEAR,,
you got a pm.

BIGDON

Where is the next closest track here? I know of Daytona (but I also heard that its not a very good crowd to expect to race with on Friday nights for TC. But oval group was awesome.

I heard Savannah has a nice track. I know Orlando is almost open.

Anywhere that maybe races on Saturday and does not require a weekend trip? lol. I am thinking maybe around 2 hour drive.

This is good for the hobby. The more guys who want to venture out to other tracks the better the racing will get. Jacksonville is not the center of the racing universe. We've got some good people around here but you can learn a ton from racing at other tracks/surfaces as well as hone your driving skills. Looks like we may soon have two separate travelling groups. Oval to some tracks and touring/12th scale to others. Team Jax(a generic term, not a trademark yet)is getting larger everyday. Maybe we should all pool our lunch monies and buy an old nascar hauler and convert it to the taj mahal of rc pit trailers. I can drive It. I have a class a cdl. Yee haw. Plus I know cb lingo, Fourty two? See ya on the flip big buddy :wave:

Where's the track in Savannah? I used to race there for off road back in the day. Didn't know about on road. I'd be interested going back there.

HAHAHA Dave your a trip..Team Jax is a great name for a R/C club.If we had one.??? We could make you the Prez..mmmmmmmmmm

Hi fellow racers! Whats the latest on a new layout? The weather really sux this last two days huh? My original stratus body is now history after my three wall hit main drive last friday night. Now I have to paint a new body or run with the wonder woman look. That aint gonna cut it. So its off to the local hobby shop for some more paint. hmmm I think I'll paint this one different colors this time like white, yellow and pink. I'm getting tired of the pink, yellow and white scheme. :lol:

Well it looks like rain through Friday. That is if you believe the weather guessers (aka meteorologists). I can't wait for the new lay out. If it goes down Sat I might be able to sneek away from the honey do list and help. That'll also give me a good excuse to practice all next week for Fri. :devil:

I am there whenever the change goes down. Too cold today but a little water never hurt anyone...you all afraid you will float away? Me...I would just melt =)

Seriously though whenever the work time comes I will be there.

Fri is race day .No rain in the PM. Showers in the Early morning.Dry and mid to low 60's for afternoon 45 low after midnight. The track should be polen free and fast.19 laps here I come....One more shot before the course changes. If a brush sticks or an a-arm looses a battle with MR. PVC My reaction will be bad. I have broke the last 2 mains and I need to break the cycle.lol

silly silly

I guess I have another chance to run on the old course too.

Let me know when you all work on the new lay out. I'll be there to help.

Anyone know where I can get a sitter on short notice? It really chaps the old lady's tuckus when I race more than she approves of and somehow that never stops being funny to me. :devil:

Ray, my wife said that's not funny. That's the way it should be. :eek:

Bring the little Doody('s) to the track. They make great turnmarshalls. You gotta start'em young enough so that they dont realize you're using them. :jest:

Oh' they're tuned in to racing for sure. If I gun the engine they say"faster". Of course I might be spending to much time wrenching on the car. My 2yr old tried to fix the his nanna's soda bottle with a straw today. Talk about tool selection! :eek:

Hey guys....I have never raced at Hobby World but im looking forward to it(I have been out there to practice a few times). Do you still race on friday nights? What time does racing usually finish? Im a total onroad newbie and kinda nervous about racing. I dont want to get out there and cause a huge pile up. One more thing...Is there any nitro onroad in the Jax area?

I think they race nitro on every other Sunday if enough nitro cars show up. Don't worry about looking bad out there on Friday night--I'll be racing too.

That's how I felt last Friday (first time racing on road) come out tomorrow and have fun with us. Trust me you'll do ok and I know everyone is willing to help

I cant tomorrow but i will make it out there one day. The only thing im worried about is racing late and still having the hour drive home. Anyone have a good starting setup for a TC3?

Nitroracer,
A wise (not old) Man (David Butts) told me Practice Practice Practice. It won't take long to run in a race and not be nervous
