Kevin's RC Oval Site (http://www.kevinsrc.tk)

I have like 10-15 Pine trees in my yard and I was a worried to death for three days that one was going to fall on my house. I need a beer or a shot of something at this point. I hate this weather!!!!! I never lost power and from what I've been hearing I was lucky.I did have a hard pine cone smack into my roof at 90 mph. It was moving faster than Tom P. 19 turn car..lol Amyway it broke off a piece of shingle and now I have a small leak.(CRAP). Alot of tree limbs all over the yard, no internet, roof leaking a little, privacy fence blew over in one section, can't play with my toy car or my big toy car. All there is to do is sit and watch the weater channel.THIS F-IN SUCKS!!!!!! Frances can eat my ---!!!
I feel better.

Bear which is closer Stricklands RC park or The offroad track in Ocala?????

Stricklands might be closer a straight shot on I-95, Ocala track you'll have to go through some towns. It might be easier you since you live down there

to bad on the pulsar charger...my soon to be in-laws have one of those already and a lathe, but sometimes i feel bad using their stuff. Just wanted to see how much or if anyone had some around. Thanks again GeorgeThat's what the "in-laws" are for-bummin' stuff! lol

stricklands by 15-20 minutes

Looks like Ivan (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/graphics/AT09/refresh/AL0904W%2BGIF/070303W.gif) will be far enough south to not affect this coming Friday, at least we have that to look forward to.

4o% chance of rain friday wooohooo!!!!!!!!!!! :roll: watch out spec drivers here comes the green goblin :devil:

Watch out for Chris guys. He's getting a dirt itch? Most of us bathe atleast once a week. Him? we're not sure about.

Hey Chris, Get some ointment:thumbsup:

has anybody been to the track to see if it sustained any damage from the storm?

not me sold mine
No more dirt for you????

Watch out for Chris guys. He's getting a dirt itch? Most of us bathe atleast once a week. Him? we're not sure about.

Hey Chris, Get some ointment:thumbsup:
I don't bathe fruity. Take shower girly man :eek: :jest:

Good question(for a change) has anyone seen the track?????

I have to go there after work today to get some..er...stuff. I'll scope it out & let y'all know.
-George

Anyone know the track record for 19t and pro-spec now?

hey guys new some new batteries while I always recommend New Wave Cells 860 741 6501 I found this deal on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1200&item=5919669928&rd=1

alot better than the B&T

Good question(for a change) has anyone seen the track?????Chris- I got a chance to go there today & the track is in great shape,albeit very filthy w/ leaves,dirt,etc. There's no fallen-over oak trees on the track and the parking area (grass) is very muddy & soggy. Aside from the usual knocked-over trash cans from the lil' critters & the odd small branch in the chicken coop,the whole place looks good. I may stop by tomorrow PM & turn the lights on to see if they still work.

I'm not too crazy about Ivan's projected path at this point. One hurricane is bad;two's waaay more than enough! Let's all hope the weather holds out this Friday (looks good so far) & hope Ivan has a change of direction or dies out. After a week/weekend of tornado warnings,flood warnings,wind damage,power outages and worrying about involuntary house remodeling w/that big tree in your yard,I think that everybody is ready to go racing!
-George

Here , Here George. Sick of this wind and warnings every 5 min. Lets get back to our reg. lives.........

Ha! Not so fast! Just read that they told tourists & mobile home residents to leave Key West today for Ivan.

Is it fall/winter yet??????
-George

My brother works for the state and he told me last night they were looking for it to hit the Keys on Sunday and then turn up the state. He is hating it cause he has to go around inspecting all of the shelters to make sure they are up on supplies and set up with all of the resources.

We'll have the very latest on First Coast News at Noon.With the base close by,it's probably an old WW2 practice bomb. NAS Jax was a very active Navy training base during the war & bombing practice was done very close by during that era. It wasn't uncommon to have practice or live ordinance fall off of planes taking off or landing. I'm sure there's a lot more of those items in the undeveloped land around & across from NAS Jax than people know about.

80% chances of rain tonight. not good.

Raining in Middleburg right now :(

Just sprinkling but really really dark.

I gained a new appreciation for people last night. Our power went out around 4:30 yesterday afternoon and never came back on. Last night was one of the most miserable nights I have had in a long time.....even with the windows open I was up every 20 or 30 minutes from the heat. Kinda pain getting ready for work this morning by candlelight and flashlight too lol. Just hope its on when I get home......

I cant imagine going without power for days like some people have had to....

Yeah Screw That I Would Me Hotel Bound. I Am Way To Pretty To Be Without Power And Elec...........lol 4 Real Though There Are People That I Work With Who Still Is Without Power Or Phone Or Water Since The Storm Hit Of Fri. Night. Now That Would Suck. I Feel So Bad For Them To And There Is Nothing I Can Do.....that Is What Really Sucks.

I agree,by looking at THIS (http://www.weather.com/weather/detail/32210),it is not good at all.

I Feel So Bad For Them To And There Is Nothing I Can Do.....that Is What Really Sucks.

Well...you cccaaannnn invited them to your house :p

racing cancelled tonight... :(

it's a little late for that. it would have been nice if someone from the store could have posted it @ 4:30 pm when it was called. And don't even say "just call the store" the last time I did that it was well lets just say a mess!! lol

call the store dumba$$.

I was packed up and heading over there dry as a bone just 7 minutes south of the track. Jason two-wayed me and said, NO RACING. Dooooh! Oh well. There's next Saturday. I'm jonesin pretty bad though.

George thanks for all the help,should be ready to go next Saturday night.
I called the HS and they said it wasn't raining,so I assumed we were racing..OPPS !!!
Should have asked if we were racing ,huh..
Had a chance to get a good setup on the truck though,little dark in 1-2,but that made it even better practice..

Eugene what BL system is that? sport,super sport? :confused:
I have to say it is really comparable to a 19t as we ran together for awhile.

Kevin

I checked the board at 5pm when I left work and drove over to race.....no biggy...got to watch one heck of a Busch race!!!!

it was just frusterating to make the drive over when we have such a great thing like the internet to spread the word.

what up fellas? i'm on vacation this week! power went out last saturday night. i still have no power! so i headed to orlando and am staying at a buddies house.life without power sux!

It's the novak SS4300 brushless system. Here's the specs http://teamnovak.com/products/MOTOR/ss4300.htm The system is great. Motor runs very cool, very little resistance, the bummer are the breaks (none) or I haven't dialed them in yet. Best of all the BRIGHT red "break" lights. :p

it was just frusterating to make the drive over when we have such a great thing like the internet to spread the word.
I agree,Dave.
Little frustrating,but I still had some fun tryin to get the truck setup..

Eugene who needs breaks? We don't run touring :lol:
I like the break light :p , Kevin

KevinKevin- Glad we got your truck running better! Be sure to ask RCBods to find you a Parma or Hot Bodies Dodge Ram. I've had both & the Parma body was better in the durability dept. The Hot Bodies truck didn't last 2 races (too thin). The funny thing was that after you left when the rain came down again,that Turn 1 light came on! Yeah,maybe somebody should have posted the race cancellation on HobbyTalk. I found out when I called Tom while driving in the rain on I-295.
Just a reminder that next week's race will be on SATURDAY 9/18! Hopefully everybody will make it! (Pending Ivan's evil itenerary!)
-George

Earth calling Shannon. Has anyone seen him lately. As much as he was jones'in for a truck class I'm surprised that he's not been on here talking it up. Strong stock racer too and he wanted to run both last time I talked to him. Hmm? Maybe he'll make a suprise return this coming saturday night.

Yeah I need Bellsouth to fix my DSL. I can only get online at work.This sux!!!!! I am RC jones'in Bad. I need to Race and relieve some stress on the back of Steve Shorts bumper again....lol J/K Steve. I have been itching to try this truck out and some other changes I made to the stocker... I am a warm climate type guy, I hate cold weather.But the winter can't get here fast enough for me . This rain everyday is killing me!!! :mad:

anyone else having problems with cable signal? its almost as bad as having no cable at all over here in argyle. i sure do hope we race this saturday, i've almost forgotten what its like to race. turn left, go straight, turn left, and then straight... please no rain saturday!!!!!! Hopefully Ivan will be far enough out of the hood by then.

Shawn- Did ya lose a belt holster for your cell under the drivers stand recently? If it is a gray Motorola clip,Stoney found it yesterday when clearing the weeds. I have it w/ me & will bring it Saturday. I remember your cell dropped under the stairs awhile back & had to have Jay bump your phone to locate it.

If it isn't yours,I'll still bring it w/me Saturday. If anybody lost theirs,look for me.
-George
