View Full Version : Cleveland Style at the Gate #2
krisgel 09-10-2004, 08:36 PM Hey anyone got any good ways to get dried faskolor out of an airbrush? Went to use my air brush and my bro left it all gunked up, I have tried Lacquer thinner didnt work! any ideas HELP Tried boiling water nothing!
Maybe try motor spray or nail poilish remover.
rayhuang 09-13-2004, 12:00 PM Hey all,
If you havent heard through the grapevine already-a very large group of workers showed up last Thursday and pulled every piece of carpet-up-removed all the old adhesive and relayed the carpet down on a cleanyl prepared floor with an extra strip of carpet tape on every row. This should stop the rippling affect from occuring again.
Its looking like another great fall season with more Great track layouts!!

http://www.rctech.net/forum/images/smilies/wink.gifI will be there on the next race, That is the last hobbytown race for the kids, and Mini T for me. Then I will be at the gate for the rest! Any one with a mini T bring it to the gate with a min. of three they will run it! Jimmy, Will there be any discount for multiple entries this year at the gate? Every other track does it and we used to do it at bratenal. For Families it used to be 10.00 for the first and 5 each additional, as well as for additional classes I belive it used to be 10.00 for each first entry and 5.00 for the others. Just a suggestion as for some of the Gate racers with familys it will make it financially easier to come all the time. Any ways unless the weather is crap I wont make the first race:cry:

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think it was $15 for the first class and $10 for each additional class last year.
Mr-Tamiya 09-14-2004, 01:15 PM I was just using figures figuratively. i couldnt remeber exact prices, still at the $15.00 mark we are one of if not the highest priced facilities. if second entries were only half price( thats the point i was trying to get across with the above $$$ amounts) You maight see more people run 2 or more classes or get more family involved, just ideas.
rayhuang 09-14-2004, 01:29 PM Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think it was $15 for the first class and $10 for each additional class last year.
And there is a family discount in effect now too :) New this winter. YOu'll have to wait for Jimmy to clarify the exact figures-but I believe its $15/$10, $10, $10 till you run out of wives and kids.
uspancarchamps 09-14-2004, 01:39 PM Hey Ray, you still got that pan car lyin around or did you sell it?
rayhuang 09-14-2004, 02:53 PM Hello-I have it-but its missing the rear axle now. It was used to make an oval car-which is now sold too. It does still have a JR DIgital 8450 servo in it and a custom painted, but never cut-out Porsche body and some mint-ran for 4 minutes Jaco tires. e-mail or PM me if your interested in it-I'll make a sweet deal to get rid of it all.

highster 09-14-2004, 05:44 PM Are the club races open to the public? What about the points series races?
bean's my hero 09-14-2004, 07:14 PM All Races are open to anyone.
Thanks,
Jim
highster 09-14-2004, 08:20 PM Thanks for the info. I was wondering because, it's over a two hour drive one way, and I didn't want to waste a day to just watch.
Medved 09-14-2004, 09:55 PM Jimmy,
Dan, Mog, Usnik and Myself will probably not make the first race since Mog is getting married the day before.
We will be back for another fun filled season the following week!
joneser 09-14-2004, 10:48 PM So what does mog getting married on Saturday have to do with you racing on Sunday? Lame excuse!!! I hope that rainman does not need your help after the wedding (if you know what I mean). Get to the track...the layout is absolutely awesome!!!Jimmy,

bean's my hero 09-14-2004, 11:13 PM Hey Guys,
If you are planning on running the Halloween Classic it would be great if you could send in your entry forms a.s.a.p. The sooner I get them, the easier it is on me. So if you know your coming please do me a favor and send in that form.:thumbsup:
Thanks,
Jim Herrmann

Most normal people unlike yourself get wasted at their good friends Wedding.:dude:
Then again I think if they are able to drive home Sat night they are not to bad off and should show up Sunday. You guys do not have to be there by 8 just show up a little late. If Usnik comes to practice thursday there are no excuses for him to not show Sunday:p Congratulations Mog!!!:thumbsup:

Unfortunately, my plans for Mog's wedding have changed. Instead of getting loaded up and having fun on Saturday night, i'll be attending a funeral. I'll be there tomorrow for practice, but Sunday is not looking good for me.
rayhuang 09-15-2004, 10:14 AM Congrats to MOg!! Tell him well bring a lookwarm frideg full of tasty beverages!! umm and chips too!! :)
Chicky-funny-I never get loaded at weddings :p
The new layout is cool. Chicky and c-ball -great job!!
Mr-Tamiya 09-15-2004, 10:41 AM Hey congrats mog!!!!! Hey guys whats the deadline for the entry to the classic?
rayhuang 09-15-2004, 11:08 AM See Chris's post -down there-right below this one. right there.....
Goetz, Chris D. 09-15-2004, 11:22 AM Joneser,
Glad you like the layout. I'd like to give credit to Ray Adams for the middle section that tied it all together. Oh, and for the massive amount of help he and his son offered us last weekend. It came out well, and we too are pretty happy with it. It will be a great layout for the warmup period between now and the Classic of '04.
Dave,
Sorry to hear of your unfortunate turn of events. I wish you and your family well. See you on Thursday.
Tamiya,
The late fee applies to entries received after October 1st, but we are asking for your cooperation in getting them in early. Being undecided is one thing, but for those that have committed to being a participant, we would like to get you registered sooner than later. With the choice to have handout motors, nice trophies once again, and included t-shirts, we could really benefit from the early entries. It's funny how these suppliers won't send us much merchandise without prepayment. :rolleyes: I need not remind eveyone about our lack of bankroll from less than stellar summer turnouts. :)
We'll see you all tomorrow for some good practice. I will tell you, if you are on the fence about practice, this is one you'll want to make. This track has some new stuff that we have not had in some time, if at all. Barring the gifted types, Sunday morning warmup will not be a sufficient period of time to get dialed in to this one. :thumbsup:
rayhuang 09-15-2004, 01:08 PM BrIAn-I see you peaking!! Whats-UP? Ready to hit the carpet? What car are you going to run?
Mr-Tamiya 09-15-2004, 03:52 PM for practice I will be there probably after 8:00 pm I hope it rains sunday so I can go to the gate instead!
losidude44857 09-15-2004, 06:00 PM I would send in my entry if i had some money?? And i also need to order some batts. Ill talk to you about it Chris. Ill be there tomorrow. I wasnt going to, but i gotta get dialed for Sunday...cant wait.

Jimmy, I'll be up on Sunday, to turn in my entry form, but I wont be there in time to race. Wedding is out of town.
Chicky - Wedding is in Dover, so I plan to stay the night on Saturday. Sunday I have best man duties, return tux's, bring back Dave's vehicle and left over booze, etc. recover from hangover.
Ray - I'm bringing back the "adult beverages" at least what ever is left over! I'll make a stop at the track along the way :), ooppps, I dropped a case.
Joneser - The "Rainmans" going to have to figure his wedding night on his own. I ain't going there.
Usnik - Sorry to hear about your loss, let me know if there is anything I can do. I'll try to drink your share at the reception!
Seaball - Let's get ready to Rubble! Entries will be there Sunday, I'll talk to you about how Dan and I will contribute for the Halloween Classic. You can count on us.
Everyone else, Welcome back! Let the new season begin.
Pete
Medved 09-15-2004, 09:30 PM Seaball, -- a duhh, I can spell! RUMMBLE! not rubble. I guess I should spell check, or at least read back what I type before I submit.
Later dude.
rayhuang 09-15-2004, 09:40 PM I know I am in for a reality check in about 4-days!!! This season is gonna be really tough. I thnk they get tougher every year! That doesnt seem right.
Ray
rayhuang 09-16-2004, 11:16 AM Hope everyones gonna make it tonight!!! Practice, practice , practice. And like Goetz said-this track is different than anythng weve run at the Gate-its not bad-its just different and will take most of us a while to master.
Goetz, Chris D. 09-16-2004, 01:17 PM this track is different than anythng weve run at the Gate-its not bad-its just different and will take most of us a while to master.
Actually Ray, I have already mastered it. That is why I won't be running on it tonight. Now all I have to do is wait for you to catch up.... :D
rayhuang 09-16-2004, 02:01 PM Cool-I have 3 or 4 motors that need cut and rebuilt. I'll drop em off to you-have-em done by 10pm.
Ray... don't you have a pic of the new layout for us to see????
rayhuang 09-16-2004, 03:28 PM I will after tonight. I forgot to brng my camera last time I was there.
losidude44857 09-16-2004, 10:12 PM The track is defianatly different, but cool.
-Buddy
rayhuang 09-17-2004, 12:13 AM Guys and Gals-the power came back on while Jim, Chris and I were talking in the parking lot. It came on at exactly 10:30pm.
losidude44857 09-17-2004, 07:11 AM The power went out??
-Buddy
David Usnik 09-17-2004, 09:11 AM Jimmy, did you get me a price yet on the Fantom dyno?
rayhuang 09-17-2004, 10:54 AM The power went out??
-Buddy Yeah Buddy-the power went out near the end of the night. WHole block down. I dont think it was weather related. I had two cars charged up and ready to go and then lights out. I am just gonna leave-em charged and run-em first thing Sunday morning.
The great thing is-with the emergency lights on-and your eyes adjusted to the dark-you can actually see the track-so Pete and Dan's idea of a night race could be a reality. SOme headlights on and glow in the dark paint........or a glow stick glued to the body...... Could be a fun end of the year race.
Ray
Goetz, Chris D. 09-17-2004, 11:39 AM Yep. That's what we were doing. Talking. :eek:
rayhuang 09-17-2004, 01:06 PM Have you guys seen pics of Wayne's BMI 12th scale project? Wow-look and look and you'll see more and more details every time you look at it. Very cool 12th scale car.

rayhuang 09-17-2004, 01:44 PM haha!! I'd like-em more if I had them in my car right now!! :lol:
See ya Sunday. Doesnt look good for Classic right now though-sorry about that.
Xpressman 09-17-2004, 02:22 PM Ray likes my 'POD PLATES" :)
I think he's fixsated on that green thing and trying to figure out what it is.
Ray.... Weather forcast is good for Saturday.... :)
Goetz, Chris D. 09-17-2004, 11:17 PM Hey Gaters,
Brant Fredrickson is exiting the hobby. For anyone interested in obtaining some if his gear, stop by rctech.net and check out the for sale threads.
Who's going to volunteer to lay the groove down in practice now that Brant has officially hung it up? :lol:
Good luck to all of you racing this weekend. I can't wait to hear the reports. It would be just my luck that Roger Horowitz finally stops out to race with us. :rolleyes: I'll see you for practice on Thursday.
Enjoy the weekend. :wave:
