I'll be glad to do that. I'm the newby there this week, so you will have to help me out (even if you are a lap behind me... lol. jk...)
I should be there around 10:30-11ish also, so timing sounds good.:thumbsup:
You'll bring the EZup and I'll bring a fan so we will have a nice place to pit...

We had a great time today. There was a huge turnout today. We had 43 entries, counting me and Marty, before we had a few dropout because of equipment failures. We had a few new faces today and I would like to thank them for coming and hope they will come back. Fred, Keven and Marty put on the best show today in the Electric Mod A Main. Ted and Pete put on a good show in the Nitro "A" Main. After 15 min of racing there was only 8 sec between them. That race is what RC racing is all about. I can't wait until next week.

Thanks John,
I actually got 3rd TQ of the day behind Fred and Kevin. (Well, way behind ~12sec, but what do you expect from me...lol) I will say that wasn't bad at all for a 1st show up (and first time running mod in a sedan...)
I REALLY had a LOT of fun, and I hope I can make it out there more often on saturdays...

I know you're only teasing, but he started using the name "Champ" since the majority of the people can't pronounce the french name "Champrenault" properly.

I know you're only teasing, but he started using the name "Champ" since the majority of the people can't pronounce the french name "Champrenault" properly.
And Also, my full name wouldn't fit in your computer John... I think YOU've decided to call me like this (also changing my first name to Mike instead of Michael...) the first time I've raced last year...
Anyway, I wish I could call myself a Champ... But I don't think I have the driving ability to be named like that as a primary meaning. Let's keep it Mike Champ, with no other meaning than giving a name that fits in the computers... lol

So, you think you can pronounce the name "Champrenault" correctly John? Well, you made a lot of improvement since the 1st time you've tried, thats for sure...
For the others who don't know how to pornounce "Champrenault", or don't want to call me "Champ", just go with "Frenchy", it will work too...

CU,
Mike

John Warner

Naw, I can't really pronounce it the proper way, but then again
I don't have that much needed french accent that you have!

You're right !!!
It's the same for me, I've been trying to pronounce some english words since years, and still can't do it... LOL...:dude:
But well, that brings a little fun to it, so that's good... Keep it like that John... :cool:
And remember John, don't say "Tchamprenault", but just "Champrenault" like "sh..." :lol:

Hope to see you around sometimes soon.
Mike Champ
(aka "Michael Champrenault", aka "Frenchy")

The REAL reason John shortened your name -- LESS TYPING!

And with all the Chihuahuas he's always hanging around with, we should start calling John "Juan Warnero".

Yeah that most diffently was an awesome race.. My motor took a dump on me.. I can't seem to get the thing to go anymore! I think all that raceing at extreme temps finally kicked it's butt.. I once said I would run brushed motors untill that d6 took a dump.. then I was getting brushless.. Well I gota see how many pennys I got.. if all works out right.. I just might have one for next weekend... :thumbsup:

Hell I could prolly give ya a place to stay for free for the weekend.. PM me man!
