Hey Papamerkle, You had better bring some good motors with you the track record for stadium has gone up 5 laps since opening night we are turning 42 laps as a record now and I was on a 43 lap pace till I ran into a truck that had just been righted (oops). I have been sticking to stock motors but Ron has been running mods and doing good and Mike H tried a mod in the main and didn't have good control but then he wasn't set up for mod either. Hope to see you up there soon.

If you guys are looking for a place to race this weekend on Saturday there is going to be a great show in New Castle, IN. So far there is atleast 25+ guys coming in from out of state alone to run 4 cell stock, 19t, and Mod! If you have any questions you can read the New Castle thread on this web site or send me a PM.

Papamerkle - I'll be one of those buggies as soon as I can get mine built :D Just don't let Ron know about it.

Papamerkle
12-01-2004, 06:22 PM
You mean I can't say HEY RON!!!! SHANE'S GOT A BUGGY!!!!!!:wave: :D
Bummer:cry:
Can I tell Tom?
What you get? B4
Looks like you have enough to start a new class.

frdsrul
12-02-2004, 11:38 AM
nope no one up there knows and it will be a couple weeks till it is ready to run. Yeah I got a b4 gonna try something new. I have my T3 setup already so I want something new. I know Kaye bought a T4 that he is working on getting together. Time for you to get a new Losi... I don't think we will talk Mark into running a completely new heat just for us 3 buggies. That would just add time to the night and right now the trucks are just as fast. Plus I like racing 6 plus cars in one heat. It is nice to finally be able to do that and have room to pass. I may run it in the stock class till I get some bugs worked out but then right back to the open class :D CYA Friday

Papamerkle
12-04-2004, 07:37 PM
I don't think I need a "New Losi". Old Losi seams to be running OK:D :wave: . Tom told me I set a new lap record for stock stadium. I didn't know I broke my old record.

I think Russ was kidnaped by a band of robotic pigmies that shaved his head and made him beg for food on corners in down town Zulu

frdsrul
12-08-2004, 01:10 PM
Yeah Russ has been MIA pretty much all season so far. The alien abduction sounds like the best idea yet.

Krisfo
12-08-2004, 11:55 PM
Dang....do you think we can gather a posse and kick the crap out of the aliens who abducted him, so they will release him to us again.....after all I think we will have to reteach him his masterful R/C skills.........lol

Translation......Dang what we gonna do without him!!!!!! LOL

Well Papa I guess I'll see you after New Years. I heard last night that we are having house guess this Friday and the Friday after that starts Christmas for me since we have so many to go to this year. Good news is I finished the B4 last night. Go figure the night I finish the thing I hear I wont be able to race it till January. I may just have to sneak up there some Tuesday to get some track time in on it. Talk to you all later.

It probably started something like this, "Shane, honey,......... :eek: ............if you don't go racing." :devil: Hope you get to use that B4 B4 they make B5's. :jest:

Papamerkle
12-11-2004, 07:26 PM
Let me know if your going to sneak up there on a tuesday. I may need some pratice myself.

Shane-Are you in the "Yes Dear" phase yet?

frdsrul
12-13-2004, 09:17 AM
Papa - Yes I will be up there this Tuesday 12/14/04 probably around 6:00 Dad is coming up with me to get his flat truck tuned in for racing again. Oh by the way I have BEEN in the yes dear phase for a while now. :jest:

Well after practicing last night and working all the bugs out I think you stadium drivers have something to worry about now... The buggies is just awsome. It is jumping great and just sticking to the track. May just have to throw a mod motor in it and try that now. I made Ron wonder how I managed to get mine down to weight when his B4 is a pregnant pig :D . He'll just have to figure that out on his own. Of course now my house smells like traction compound. Talk to you guys later... :wave:

There are a few that still run 6 cell stock. If we ever find Russ I know he runs it. They also run 4 cell mod and 19 turn if you are interested in those.

Well guys the buggy finally got its first win last Friday... Now we just need to keep this streak going :freak: We had a real good turnout last week as well a lot of good racing going on in every class and by the looks of it everyone is pulling out their "good" stuff now for the series. CYA guys tonight.

Yes its true.... I have been abducted by aliens. I am currently on planet PUNKEDWUZEYE about 500 lightyears from earth. I hope the Beta unit (clone) I sent to race for me friday night did well. The only thing I noticed about my beta unit was that its hand eye coordination was not as good as mine. So if he did'nt make the A-main I hope you will all understand. The aliens have been doing some strange experiments on me. During a routine exploritory brain operation they discovered an enlargement of the left side of my skull..no doubt from all the left hand turns I have made during my life. They also discovered that my lungs were coated with damp clay and paragon tire compound. Damp clay from dirt racing the summer away in my sprint car no doubt, and embeded paragon from 20 years of carpet racing. Well I have to go, they are preping me for a bionic right foot as well as a nanotechnology implant on my left index finger. You smart boys out there can figure out what those are for!!

I'LL BE BACK!! Russ

01-22-2005, 09:50 AM
Veerry interesting...So now we hear the truth. Your clone kept mumbling something about being held captive by a Swedish bikini team and that he didn't see daylight to often. When he doozed off between races, he kept talking in his slumber...Inga...Inga...Oh, Inga. :eek:

Good to here from you and that explains why the B main had so much contact. :wave:

01-26-2005, 07:42 AM
raisingkahne9 - WOW- OK, I think you are living out some kind of personal fantasy there :freak: Good to have you back Russ and don't worry you'll get the hang of it again :jest:
