For anyone interested, Hobbytown's new track opens This friday in Parma Heights in the old DMV building at the corner of Stumpf and Snow RDs(behind Mr. Chicken in the plaza). If you come you will need a table and a chair and extension cord. It is permanent carpet laid now... and Looks good. Contact the shop(440-846-1770) but I think doors open at 5:00 but dont quote me call to see for sure. Just figured if anyone wanted more wheel time. Hope to see ya'll sunday!!!!!

Cool. A permanent facitlity will be a nice improvement. I will stop in to check it out soon.

Guys, just a reminder that tomorrow is intended to be work night. WHEN, we get done we'll open the track for those that want to stay a little later. All help is appreciated. Thank you.

Jones,
How could I forget about you. I heard your name an awful lot that race. I don't think I've seen anybody improve as much as you have in the past 6 months. It certainly shows that you have been racin' unlike me. Good job this weekend.

Just got back from the track.....drove into the parking lot only to find it completely empty. Had some running around to do so I was not coming until late. I assume we had a very small turnout to help so after everything was done...you went home?

Mike....yes...getting better....but not good enough obviously. I might have been able to hang on and get you had I too been allowed to go back to my pits:freak:

JOneser-I almost did the same thing. Daughter was in bed-started to get ready to leave then thought-hmm-better call. Only two showed up to help.

Goetz, Chris D.
10-14-2004, 10:25 PM
Yes, we started early (5:00) so that we would still have plenty of time to practice. Pete, and Dan were the only voulenteers. It took a few hours, but we just called it quits after that. Details to follow...

c-ball-I got my motor box filled with my mods. I am probaby going to run my V2 so I dont have to rebuild it all day. Its a 8x1. But I have a very fast Reedy Ti 9x3 and a handwound Puntam Ti based 10x1 you can run. I have NO mod brushes left.


Lets do it!!

Goetz, Chris D.

I would prefer to run a 19t. Given that none of us drive mod very well, I think I will still be competitive with that, so do what you will. I like to take baby steps. Like racing the Novak, etc. before I do the Cleveland. :tongue: Hey wait, I've got about 20-22 runs on my 19t. Should I rebuild it? I don't even know how to gear it right.

Alright, we'll talk.

rayhuang
10-15-2004, 08:33 PM
Yup-yup-I will DEFINATELY be faster with a 19t than a full mod. Its all good. Whatever we decide Sunday morning then. What this really means is I have WAy too many motors!!

losidude44857
10-15-2004, 09:18 PM
Ill run whatever is more popular. And Chris, you better be running the champs this year. And i wouldnt mind going to the Novak if money is right...depending on what happens between now and then.

If you didnt run it in stock all the time-it wouldnt have 22 runs on it.

I'll be there Sunday for sure. Hopefully to run mod, for more track time. Mike Pavlick said he'll be there, last Sunday. If Tyler shows, that'll be 3 for sure. But if not, I'll run 19T.

Also, I have 2 pairs of Jaco plaid and 2 pair of Jaco purple tires trued to ~2.37", never run, that I won't need, so they are for sale. Say for $12 a pair.

Eric-it soundslike a few guys are coming up to run Mod from Columbus too. I think we wont have a problem making a heat.

Hey everyone I just wanted to say I had a great time at the Classic. Seaball it was nice to meet you there. Thanks to Chicky, Jonser and Ray for the help. Thanks to Mo and Eli for letting me supply the HP for their wins. Thanks to everyone else up there that has supported me so far in my business!!

See ya at the Norrca nats!!

EAMotorsports,

Are you going to be set up to do motors at the champs?
thanks
chuck

Goetz, Chris D.
10-16-2004, 02:40 PM
Ray, that's the secret. If you let your 19T arm get about 20 runs on it and then throw it in a stock can, it won't be so fast that it's obvious. Especially if we're running with Jimmy, Paul, Brian, and Aaron who are fast with stock motors.

On another note, I am still voting for 19T since we'll have a full class. :D

- Gerber
- Chambers
- Huang
- Goetz
- Blystone ?
- Longbrake ?
- Switzer ?

Any others?

Goetz, Chris D.
10-16-2004, 03:00 PM
Hey wait a second. If we've got all these guys running stock this week why are we ruining what could be a serious A-main by running 19t? :lol: I dunno, I want to start running 19t but perhaps that is a lost cause pre-champs. Opinions?

10-16-2004, 03:12 PM
Seaball I'm goin' roll you up tomorrow like a fruit roll up with the He-Man cut outs! Run Mod! I hope Jimmy has a nice stock of TC3 parts up there.

Eric-you won the grudge match!! :lol: man-did I self destruct all day. Big problem in touring-two Butta$$ slow motors!! I guess when my motor that usually pulls 13 amps was pulling 6amps at break-in that hold have been the first sign. Oh-well.

I dont know which run I was more impressed with. Blackstock in stock 12th or Jimmy in touring. I mean in touring-Jimmy was flying and I didnt hear one loud Crash.

Both laid waste to the rest of us. It just means that I have oh so much more to learn about driving a RC car...Sure-they are Just toys...............

Joneser! We had some really close racing. The qualifier you hunted me down for 7 1/2 minutes! My batteries went flat about that mark and I could only pull over and let you go!

You had a bit more power than me over all, you always seem to have just a little bit more than me. But THIS TIME, I crossed the line first. I'm sure next week it will be just as close.

It was good to see Dan in the "A". It's been a while.

See you guys next Sunday.

Hey all,

Dont get caught out without enough practice going into the Champs. Come out Thursday nights for practices!! Traction is always good and hey-if more come out-then guess-what-even more traction.

Its a great way to try set-ups you wouldnt normally be willing to try Sunday. Try going up two teeth or try 6 degree caster, scrub in tires...

See y'all Thursday night,
Ray

I thought I was going to get to go to Halo Saturday-but wife planned a full weekend of family activities.

Well-I guess it doesnt matter how much money I make in life-I'd blow it on racing!!

If I made $500,000 a year-I'd race SCCA Formula Continental.

If I made a million dolllars-I'd own a Formula Atlantic team and spend $980,000!!! :lol:

Rob and Ray,

It seems that Mr. Williams has surfaced. I have been e-mailing again with no replies. If either of you see him at the track, could you please remind him about his outstanding bill. He is placing orders with others that I know so he obviously has money and want's to race again.

Master Ray,

Jump on the switch now because I have not seen them on e-bay in many months, then install in spring or now to get rid of the damn tc for winter.

What rims and tires are you running since I will need to get some.

Thanks - e-mail me directly

See ya
