LOL, Jake, I work at a Dodge-Jeep-Chrysler Dealership. Were moving into a new building within the next month. Chuck, I went to the Land O'Lakes area. They have about two inches in the woods. I've heard that the Kewenaw is the place to be, but I also heard that the trials are beat there.

So what about them 'birds.....we all keep telling each other next year, if we start PLANNING on it now then we can't back out! Besides that gives those of us that are married/getting married time to fill out Hocks persmission slip and get it approved! LoL

What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week - which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

The communications have to be there bottom line I wouldn't change married life for anything. I was able ot get next wednesday off of work so I can go racing so this will be nice I want to race that Terminator and see what happens so I'll see you then. Hock I'm tryingto get the same numbers as you had on that Thor dyno it's tricky for sure. Also who would I have to get hold of because the Team1 motor I won at the Tri-Clone last fall won't work it's like it shorts out, I was going to use it in the Terminator Wednesday. Thanks catch you later :wave:

Howler
01-03-2003, 06:58 PM
Chuck, bring the motor. I'll be happy to take care of it for you, no problemo :thumbsup: . I'll have some motors for you to run. We'll see you on Wed. A TERMINATOR PRO with a HOOTER's body on it? There really isn't any better combination, now is there. What foams were you planning on running Chuck?

Well so far Perry and I are in, Hock will be in the future it sounds like! :) Yeah it sure will be fun, besides Russ, you'd have to run your touring on the oval, you don't have a pan, a 12th scale and they don't run truck. :D LoL If we get enough of us it shouldn't be too bad for a room/rooms I wouldn't think. I look into room prices on monday, while I'm at work. :D Yeah I want to go bad enough that I'm gonna look at room prices OVER a year in advance!

Joel, I know they run road course too, DORK! LoL If he ran that Losi oval class he would have a better chance, not many people enter it, if I ran TC (which I wouldn't) I dunno what I's run. Probably the oval class.

You in Joel???

After much debate, our club & racers have decided that starting NEXT weekend we'll be following a new race schedule in Grand Rapids.

We're changing our race days for Oval and On-Road only. Saturdays we'll now be running On-Road, and SUNDAYS we'll be running OVAL. Opening times and race times will remain the same. Stadium will continue to run Saturday evenings as always.

And about the schedule for the CRL....
During the day Saturday, (the 18th.) we'll have an On-Road club race with Stadium racing following, and Sunday will be the CRL race. The layout WILL BE the same for both days!

Howler I have blacks all around I have been thinking of putting a blue on the right front. These black sure have traction I like them. I'll have the motor with me. I'm trying to match Hocks dyno numbers on my Thor but I'm not even getting close it's frustrating to say the least. Can't wait till wednesday that car will be so fine tuned it will be worn out by then. See YA.:wave: :roll:

It was a very good tool. Ia dyno for the motor in the car. Also the power supply in it was great for other uses. But it was real heavey to lug around.

Jake the Thor Dyno checks the motor and the gearing and tire size for rollout also. You have to work with it to get the best results. I don't think it is as good as a motor but it's a step in the right direction for now.:cool: Hock are you going to be racing on wednesday night if your leaving for the land of flesh:devil: Howler I do have some tires so we can try different combos. I got new batteries also so I hope to have a good night.:thumbsup:

Okay Jake. One more reply like that and I am forwarding it to you know who.:lol:

In your email, did you mean Lansing this Friday??

I think that is too soon for me, I am still in the thralls of the dead disease.

First it was: I wish I was dead.
Next it was: I think there is something dead in my throat and stomach.
Last and presently it is: "Get between me and the bathroom and you're dead!!!"

As for Matt, you know that he is welcome anytime. He is a well behaved, smart, soft spoken young man. How do you and him get along???

UPS just arrived with another legend, that cheered me up:D

LoL, she knows I am like this. It would scare her if I wasn't!


In your email, did you mean Lansing this Friday?? Yes

I think that is too soon for me, I am still in the thralls of the dead disease. That sucks, I hope you feel better, didn't you tell me sunday when I was there that is a 24 hour thing? I hope you start feeling better soon!

As for Matt, you know that he is welcome anytime. He is a well behaved, smart, soft spoken young man. How do you and him get along??? Believe it or not, I can be a nice guy, we have smart, inteligent conversations, after that, we trash talk each other like all other racers in the world. I agree, for being 15, he is one smart little cookie, knows his stuff, but is not rude, loud and obnoxious like I am. :D

UPS just arrived with another legend, that cheered me up. Good, I really do hope you start feeling better, I'm getting a little soft with out all the e-mails you send me slamming me. :) LoL No, truly I hope you start feeling better. You WILL be better by the 18th, the only way I will let you out of the Lansing race is if you are dead! Hope your feeling better. :)

This sucks.... :cry:

01-08-2003, 07:52 PM
Hey Jake,
I have a few credits that I am not using. Took some courses in the 60's and 70's at UofM, MSU, and half the community colleges in Wayne, Washtenaw and Macomb counties. If you need any, maybe I can put a couple in my will with your name on them.

Sorry to make fun, but fretting over the situation just makes it worse. Look at it this way. You will still have your great job for one more term.
