Dan

hey dan if i get enough people can we do a 4wd buggy class?
kenton

No, you have to run a 4wd TC. :)

Buggy
I'll run 4x buggy! it takes 3 or did, to make a class for regular weeks, have to be something like 5 per points race for each race for the series, Dan? leslie? russ????
Ken

You have to ask Russ and Leslie about the class. They did post three cars make a class to run for the day. I am not sure how many to make it for the point series.
I appreciate your thinking I am involved in LAZER......BUT...
I am just a racer like you and a LAZER Fan. I do all I can to promote the track and encourage all the racers to support this great facility. I do not have a part in decision making concerning LAZER.
So if you have questions... Please direct them to Russ and Lesie.
Have fun and drive smooth!!!
Dan

It still takes 3 to make a class for regular Sunday's and we like to accomodate everyone & have had buggies race with trucks on occasion.

This year: For Point Series trophies there has to be 8 vehicles in a class.

Looks like the first layout is going to be a fast one ....

We also want racers to have more than one frequency, so if you don't have (doesn't apply to you Ken ) more than one crystal, time to go buy one!

So far, Sunday is looking like partly sunny and cool.....Rich, wear some long johns! Ken, bring your heater! Brrr... See eveyone on Sunday....
-Leslie

Yeah, looks like I am also going to need my winter jacket!

now where are those tire warmers?????

Its raining now and since there doesn't look like any sun coming out today the track won't have the opportunity to dry out, so we will be closed. We hope next Sunday will be a better...sorry, thats Michigan for ya'!

Sunday!!!
Be there!!!
Hope the same enthusiasm that mother nature ruined last week will be there this week. And there will be a good turn out.

Since we were rained out last week, we are hoping that this Sunday will be opening day! Provided the rain holds off we will kick off the 2004 season with a full day of racing, come out and join us.

Well, I can't make it due to Mom's Day Festivities, but I hope the folks that make it to the track bring Leslie something nice!

-Rich

Rich-You should do what Chuck does. Bring your mom to the track...Mines out of town so I'm safe and will be there flying the new HPI flag!

It's my mother-in-law and they are up in Flint. My parents live in NY so that would be a bit of a drive for them. :)

-Rich

Who is Rich Chang ???

Trackmaster!!!! How are you???
Hope to see you out at LAZER this summer!!

Wow!! Long time no see! I was actually going to drop by your office last week to see what you are up to! :) Are you getting back into racing?

Fabio

You guys are tough on an old man...hehe

The weather is looking excellent for this Sunday, come join us for a great day of racing!!

Great group and racing for the first points race of the season at LAZER!!!

Russ and Laslie put on a great show and kept the program moving swiftly to finish up before the torrential rains again soaked the area.

Two FULL heats of F-1 with great close racing!!! It is too cool to see all the F-1's on the track at the same time. Close racing and I do not think any one broke a F-1 all day!!!

Hi.We will be coming down to race next sunday 6-13.I am runing my tc in mod do you run foam or rubber?My buddy will be runing truck(first time ) What are the ruels for the novice class?He will be runing my truck so I need to set it up for him?I have foam and rubber tires but the rubbers are slicks .Thanks for the help.Ed

So far its your choice in mod. two weeks ago rubber was hooking up better, Its warmer tomorrow so?? Novice truck probably wont matter (just a guess,thought I saw some foams??) but stock motor probably required

Leslie?

DanI thought we were not doing that this year?

Greg....yes you can....I have $3.50 for you and $3.50 for your teammate.

Hope all of the F1 teams have a good weekend of racing.

Also hope ever bodies batteries are performing well.



By the way, I was glad to see so many F1 drivers happy with amount of mah their F1 packs were accepting at the first race. All of the numbers I heard about were in 3600 thru 3900 range.



I also heard about a battery pack making a very "load sound". ha...ha... Glad to here nobody got hurt. I have had a few single cells blow up also kind of scary.



Let me know if anybody needs anything.



Thanks,

Jeff M

Great racing at LAZER Sunday. Too bad Mother nature is not cooperating that much with the outdoor racing.
We got our qualifying in but only a couple of mains.
As usual, Russ ran a tight ship and kept things moving.

Had a great time sunday:thumbsup: Thaks for a fun day.hope to make down for a few more races .Ed

We are glad you had a good time here & we hope you'll come back again!
It was great meeting you!
-Russ & Leslie

Carlos,
Did you calculate the points for F-1 from the last race yet?

Lazer points standings for TC would be nice too .:thumbsup:

Bob

O.K. the gloves are coming off now .......... to hard to drive with them on !

Just a reminder that Lazer will be closed on July 4 and July 11....we will re-open on July 18 with a Points Race.

Hope everyone has a great Holiday!!!

We are back from vacation, well rested and ready for the Points race this Sunday.....hope to see everyone then!

Well, this sucks but it looks like I am not going to be able to make any more races at Lazer this season due to conflicts with weddings and other events.

So, looks like Fred is going to be a single driver team right now. Anyone else in a single driver team position that would want to team up with him? Fred drives okay. ;) LOL!

-Rich

Rich,
John Swider lost his teammate.... and seems to be looking for one.

We are packing up today and heading down from GR tomorrow.see ya sunday Ed
