Actually, it was pigeon. And the disclaimer starts with:

Sounds like the web site is basically a year's worth of April 1st news stories.

For all of you calling all cars Ted WILL BE THERE!!!!!!!! :devil:
What time does everyone start shoing up?We get to the track between 10:00 & 11:00

So anyone else up for 19T besides Denney, Roy and myself?

I can run foam or rubber tires, mod or 19 turn. Just DON'T use the 5-letter "S" word (that rhymes with "clock") !

Wow, 31 entires today and a large amount of spectators. Its a shame that a little bit of rain had to blow the mains.

Sorry to here about the rain, Here's a pic of my Sprint Car

not the best pic.

dbr

whew.... it was a blistering 97 degrees here today. glad i raced last night after the sun went down. I can practice everyday of the week just about here. NICE.

Andy you've got email.

Jeff

oh... and in case inquiring minds want to know....

i work for Superior Hobbies here in Orlando now. I am building their online website for shopping and what not. It's rough to work on brand new systems and play with toy cars all day and make good money. darn my luck.

oh... and a Hooters is about 1 mile up the street from work. bummer.

Jeff

Andy you've got email.

JeffMust be nice, it was only about 60 here, and Rain. And for the second time in a row there was almost a fight at the track. It's just suprising how uttlery stupid some people are. I was told to mind my own f-word buisness and was on the receiveing end of an elbow shot b/c I told one peron who walking casually across the track during the race not to. In the 13 years of R/c Racing I've been involved in I've never seen two people so fragrantly disreguard any rules for a track and not care! The best part was when they told Marty they've been having a major problem with me and Roy personnaly over all the years they have been racing at Lansing and Detroit???? They've been racing for .058 years, and I've been doing this for 13 now. I've never raced in Detroit and only a couple times in Lansing. Roy hasn't raced either places ever, and I've only lived in MI for four years now. So my only respnoce is this :freak: :freak: :freak:

Oh, by the way, anyone want to buy a whole crapload of R/c Stufffor really cheap? Now I'm officially through with this crap!

you should just jump ship and move down here with me. Daytona Beach is less than an hour away. Miami is about 2hrs our so. Its hot.... the women are hotter and the racing is non-stop and fun.

There is a points series starting at TQ hobbies next Friday night. First place pays $150 in gift certs at the shop. Plus they give away TONS of stuff almost every points race...... chargers, speedos, car kits. Heck, i ran last night and won $15 gift cert for winning 19T. NICE.

Jeff
Well if you would have seen my cars run today you would have either laughed or cried. In the two races my sedan was in I got a total of 3 laps, but all those were in the first race. I would have gotten more but when my car got to the end of the straight it shut off and made a hard left turn. So I didn't argue with it. 1/12th wasn't much better. I think I have a bad speedo or something, but thank god for the huge Kydex bumper I put on it. Have you ever had a mod 1/12th scale runaway going onto the srtaight? Can we say hard hit perpendicular to the boards going WFO. It hit the boards so hard it knocked a brush completely out of the motor and twisted a battery bar against the vertical side into a "L". But no damage to the car itself. I'm off to Zzzz-land, but I'll send you an email tommorrow. L8tr

I probably would have said......... "Ready for Hooters yet?" then we would have drove down the road and had about 6 pitchers of beer. haha.

Jeff

And to think somebody asked me the other day if I miss racing.........!

Jeff, so your living in the greater Orlando area now?
BTW: You forgot to mention what you'd find if you
went the other direction on SR436 (Semoran Blvd)
at the corner of 436 & 434, and I'm not talking about
the Jai-Alai place, I'm talking about whats across the street!!

i haven't been up that far......... but you obviously know where i work. TQ Hobbies is on 434 and Superior is on 436. If it is another Hooters.... that makes 3 within about 20 minutes of me. haha.

yeah i am in the orlando area. its nice over here. much more going on than Venice.

Jeff

oh.. .and as far as Superior pricing.... lets see...... compare these to up there...

T-Maxx.... $379.95
MTX-3 PROSPEC nitro.... $499.95
TC3 Racer Kit.... $154.99

Jeff

And to think somebody asked me the other day if I miss racing!
Yeah no doubt, that and along with some other thing means I'll be at a track a total of zero more times in my life. Not to bash on any of them, it's just you know what they say one, or in this case, two rotten apples spoiled the whole bunch.

See ya on the flip side of the alarm clock kids.

Nope, not another Hooters, but I do know where their all at.
The one you're talking about has a nice beach on the side of
the building that holds some real nice womens volley ball games.
Yes, I know very well where you work at, been there many,
many times. The next time you leave Superior, turn right out
of the parking lot onto 436, go about two miles to 17-92 and
turn left. Look at the businesses that'll be on your right.

Where are you living? What part of town.....
Orlando, Altamonte Springs, Apopka, Forrest City,
Fern Park, Casselberry, Winter Springs, Pine Hills, or???

Oh, BTW.... I have a different email address now.
It's GLRC04@Yahoo.com No more AOL!

Right now i am in Casselberry..... I am looking at an apartment in "orlando" haha. that term is used loosely. it is called "The Outrigger". It is just off of 436. So.... Casselberry, Winter Park, heck i don't know. It is on Shoreview drive just off of Old Cheney Hwy.

Jeff

Jeff
That's way to funny! When you turn onto Old Cheney Hwy, the first street you'll see on your right will be "Moselle Ave", if you turned there the first house on the left's address is 1218, (just past that little apt complex) I used to live there with my first wife!!!
The Outrigger is actually located in Orlando, it's close to the old Navy base.

that isn't funny.... .that is creepy hahaha

Jeff

that isn't funny.... .that is creapy hahaha

Jeff
In all reality, that area is where I lived at most all my adult life. I also lived in a house directly behind the Outriggers on N Solandra Drive. It's off of Lehigh, which is off of Shoreview.

There's also some pretty nice apartments on either Aloma Ave or Red Bug Road.
(Both of those roads run off of 436. Red Bug is real close to Superior)

Which reminds me...... why do they call them apartments if their all together??

you mean like why do we drive in a parkway and park in driveway?

or a package by car is a shipment but a package by ship is cargo?

Price is right at the outrigger though.... move in special also of July rent free if in during June

Jeff

Yeah, that's what I mean. That area is pretty decent, lot's of Navy people there is all. At least there use to be since it's so close to the training base. Best part of all is it's close to just about everything, and "Little Lake Barton" is just down the street if you decide to do some fishing.

And to think somebody asked me the other day if I miss racing.........!What a load of crap, lets go racing.......!

Special note:

We had 4 women in the truck class and they had more fun that the men had!

Marty actually finished a race with his nitro!http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon14.gif

Pete showed up for a little while!

Lookie what I found........... Florida weather at it's finest!!

http://tqhobbies.com/gallery/trnstr/tr11.jpg

Nice looking drivers stand........

http://tqhobbies.com/gallery/trnstr/tr4.jpg

Pretty smooth as well.

http://tqhobbies.com/gallery/trnstr/tr14.jpg

that looks like a shoe-smacker shirt.

I kinda doubt it. I'd say it says Superior Hobbies!

Here's their logo............

But in that same picture, either Jeff is whistling or imitating a fish!

From the looks of that track, I'm wondering if Jeff needs a roommate. I know he has a tendancy to fall asleep early in the evening, so how bad could it be....

I watched a custom home built TC3 conversion run today that would have given you something to think about!
.That was the stuff. I thought about it and I want it, drifting at its finest.

That was the stuff. I thought about it and I want it, drifting at its finest.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! So Fred, what happened to Stinky's?

Lansing race tomorrow, I'm going and I think Steven is going, anyone else?

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! So Fred, what happened to Stinky's?Its was closed, out of business I believe.

Its was closed, out of business I believe.
That figures. And just when we finally found
a place to eat after racing during the indoor season!

i meant to tell them to take and friggin picture off. that is ridiculous shot of me haha. That is TQ Hobbies track, it is small.... 80ft straight for asphalt. It is super smooth though.

roommate bill...... you moving? hehe

Jeff

You're the webmaster, maybe you need to remove it... LoL! Yep, your correct, it is TQ over off off 434 in the great city of Longwood! Track looks smooth in all the pictures I looked at. But that pic of you..... Yikes!!!

Well, with the weather we've been having on the weekends, it's an interesting thought. But given all manner of creepy crawlies down there and my spanish is way more than rusty, I'll have to take a pass.

i can't remove a picture from someone elses website John......

you should see the hooters girls Bill. :)

Jeff

Jeff
Yeah, that would make sense. (I was thinking maybe they joined forces at some point) Does Superior still hold races over at Red Bug park any longer??
