I'm heading up this weekemd. Should be nice and cold. Racing was nasty last night. Plagued with gremlins.

At least you got to race. I ran the computer and it's just to hard to run races and race. But at least I didn't break anything

Honestly, how much power can a Legend chassis handle? George ran his in practice last saturday and it looked good, pushed like a dumpster on a frozen lake, but he wasn't all over the place. I might have to bring 7x2, just to keep up you guys!

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask: Are we allowed to run wheelie bars if needed? :)

Might be better to use any extra tires as outriggers to prevent roll-over.

Don't say anything more about practicing or that my car ran well.. That will just make Kevin and Rick try harder, and you know what that means. You will get your butt handed to you. I will have my dirty clock with me just in case they feel a need to clean it.:p

Thats it, I couldn't take it anymore. So I modified the Legend that I am borrowing from George. I think it will work pretty good. :devil:

Points/Results are updated on the EUPRC site.

Joel, I don't have points for the last race? Did I miss them somewhere or did you not get them to me? :p

George version of the "Outlaw Legend".

NOTE: Large exterior kingpin brace (those from Birdgeport will get this one) and the EXTEREMLY large wing. I have yet to install the trailer hitch to tow the wagon with a car battery in it though. :D

I finished it! Finally, took a lot of time, hard work and persistance, but I finally finished George's Outlaw Legend.

Can you tell I'm bored at work? :)

WHERE ARE THE HEADER STACK PIPES LIKE ON A TRACTOR PULL

rowle1jt
01-23-2003, 04:59 PM
No Stacks, against Legend Rules. LoL I knew I forgot something, thanks for remindming me about the headers.

rowle1jt
01-23-2003, 05:01 PM
Wait a minute Hock, we are running electric Legends, we aint got none of them "nitro" Legends...... so the headers are purely for looks like they are on the Bolink sprinter! :)

hock
01-23-2003, 05:06 PM
OK SO THEY ARE GIANT LEXAN HEADER STACKS, JUST FOR LOOKS

Jake. You are going to have these people thinking that I am not a serious racer. I have been working on my gentlemanly, dignified manner for years now and this may spoil it.

rowle1jt
01-23-2003, 05:59 PM
LoL.....its all in good fun. I know your serious about racing. The whole time yout on the drivers stand you smile, and when you hit someone, your smile grows! loL :D

WOW I guess.Wish i could get a job playing on Hobby Talk all day:lol: As long as they paid as well as the Cadillac dealership i could handle that. One Question though,Why all the ribbing at the Kingpin? He is such a nice person and that smile:D it does get bigger when he does the bumping thing on the bull ring:lol:

LoL George, and Mel, know that I have the utmost of respect for them, I was bored and just teasing George. I'll get Mel back in person. :D Scott, why don't you come down to MP this weekend? Gonna be a good show!

Howler where did you or where are you going to snowmobile this weekend? I here Eagle River doesn't have much, were the only ones that have any to speak of. :eek:

Howler
01-24-2003, 11:15 AM
The report as of this morning stated that Land O' Lakes got 5-10. That's enough to take the trails north:). Don't worry, I'm bringing my motors to work on if the conditons aren't what's expected, lol.

rowle1jt
01-24-2003, 11:27 AM
MMMMM....snowmobiles. I wish we had more than a "dusting" of snow. Not real good for the life of the sled if you run it in snow that the grass is peaking out at you. :(

01-24-2003, 01:07 PM
Well hope you have a good time, if you ride on the lakes that's where to watch out closely because the ice isn't that good yet. What you need Howler is one of those rc snowmobiles get a few of them racing and that would be fun.:dude:

Howler
01-24-2003, 01:13 PM
Not a question if I'm a man or not, it's a question of not having ridden yet this year. Don't worry, I'll be layin' the smack down soon enough. :devil:

hock
01-24-2003, 01:14 PM

Hey Jake, I've got those shocks for you. Do you want me to send them up with one of the guys for tommorrow??

rowle1jt
01-24-2003, 04:20 PM
Nick, please do! I don't think Mel or Greg will be there, but if Jamie or keith or someone else that is coming up to MP, I would appreciate it! Saves you a couple $$$ too. :)
Thanks!
Jake

01-24-2003, 07:28 PM
Russell and I both know that I can wheel just as good as him........ Ask him who was in a higher main at the CRL race? And who set the TQ when I ran in the soo in october? I enjoy racing Russell becasue we are both so equal in terms of driving ability. Except offroad, I'll stomp him everytime we race in the dirt.... :devil:

Man Jake if only you would put your car where you mouth is
Oh wait that would be asking to much
It would be to much on your EGO to get beat in Pan car TC and E-maxx all in 1 day But remeber your but is big enough to have a chunk or 2 taken out of it

Not on your tin type pilgrim.....

Let me be the first to say how great a day we had at Mount Pleasant today. Flat carpet oval with a 120 foot running line. A "bull ring" with a lot of bulls showing up.:lol:

112 ENTRIES !!!

20 HEATS.

Drivers from age 10 to 62, and a great time had by all. Thanks go to Jon Buetler, Kevin Marcy, Steve Smith and the Jr. High RC racing club. :thumbsup:

Oops! That is the West Intermediate school RC racing club.
I am being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.
