FRIDAY Lets get it on! :D

I think im gonna have my mom drop me off so i can watch. Would anyone mind letting me test-drive a Mini-T with a stock motor in it? or not a great fast one? I just wana see what it feels like...(i dont want to race it or anything, just TD) Thanks alot

Like I said... SORRY if I said that! All fixed now. :) Thanks!
Mike

This is where you said I would get the 7-cell battery with the peak charger (by teamlosi). I can understand where other people can get confused, but you did say it.........

Sure! No Problem Eric, the store has a Mini-T for you to test drive. Stop in anytime.

No problem. Doors are open all day and the computer system will be fired up around sixish... I just want to keep on the Mall's good side without too many racers roaming around the cooridors after hours. :lol: We will get started whenever we get started... very loose. This will be a test drive of the new road-course so lets have some fun!
M :wave:

I agree that we need to push the start time back for Friday night racing. No earlier than 7:30 PM. Maybe track 'opens for practice' at 6 PM!

So what time will it start? You know us guys that have the hour plus drives need planning time....

Thanks alot Mike, i'll be sure to make it there....I'll probably be there around 5:30-5:45

.....

whats the length of the track? I heard it is over 200'. :freak:

.....

Going by what has been said...i'll be there at 6

Hey thanks to everyone who stopped in! And thanks to those who "wanted" to stop in! :roll: The road-course looks to be A LOT of fun! I can hardly wait to get my XXX-S finished. I am almost there! My pan car is almost finished... just need to cut the body that John painted up for me way back when... and adjust the front wheels. I traded my Francis 1 truck for this pan car so thanks to Rich Price for that deal! I can't wait to run oval tomorrow.
Have a great weekend! :wave:

Sorry i didn't make it Mike, i kinda got yelled at yesterday..lol......i may make it to the oval race though. By the way, how many people raced?

Mike, u heading down to MD tommoro? I think i might be going... If i get paid today i may stop in at the Washington store and grab a mini-t :)...But...that probably wont happen, lol

Bought my Mini-T, now i gotta get it race ready :P (Foam Tires, GP1100 NiMH 6 cell pack)

Mike racing was great saturday. I cant believe how easy switching the track from oval to road coarse is (2 minutes). Is was nice to race oval or road coarse in the same day.

How do you like your Mini-T? By the way, were you one of the few who bought a Mini-T from the store on Saturday? We had a lot of fun racing Mini-T's (and other models) on Saturday... Most like the road-course, but some did not as they can't turn right! haha (oval lovers) We even added a nice jump for that race and that just added to the excitement. This week we may have 2 separate classes, one of oval, and the other for road course. No big deal as the switchover takes less that 2 minutes... much easier than I had thought it was going to be.

Mike, u got any any GP1100 6 Cell packs with Deans Connecters and 14awg wire at the store? or is there anyway u could order me some? (2) and how much would they be if ya could?

Oh yea, i bought my Mini-T at Hobbytown in Robinson because we went out to eat there, and i was already like 7:30 and i know u guys close at 8:00 (sorry bout that :P)

Maxx,
Sorry to hear you deviated off course! I hope you did not spend too much as we are a directly connected with Team Losi and can extend discounts to our loyal customers. ;) Our Mini-T department is larger than any other store’s in the whole area. But I would email or call the store for your specific request because as usual, if we do not have it, we can within a day or two of ordering. We will be pushing out an order tonight so get your parts request in ASAP so you can have it in by this weekend.
Mike

Mike,

U guys racing Road Course friday night and Oval saturday at noon? or are you doing them both starting at noon? (hope you guys do another Friday Night race, sounds fun considering i missed the last one)

Eric

Eric,
We were thinking about racing road-course on Friday nights... but with the track so easy to convert, we could easily fit everything in on Saturday. It really is up to all of the racers. Friday night we will run racing if we have enough in attendance. Otherwise it will be set up for road course for practice. We have had a lot of interest in "Drifting" as well... so the classes are beginning to stack up nicely.

Any idea when you might know for sure if you are gonig to race on friday night? Any chance of running both road course and oval on a friday night?

I'm all for Friday night! I'll be there

.....

I agree friday does make it kind of tough.

But for us that work on Sat. we will never make it there.. :(

I think it would be great either way. touche touche hahahaha

The beauty of having the track at the store, is that you can race ANYTIME you want! We have the facility to hold races anytime the store is open! We just set "a few" suggested guidelines to help funnel racers together at any given point to give one another some competition. If someone has a better plan, we are completely open to comments and suggestions. I personally can run the computer Tues - Friday at any time... weekends; we are scheduled for Saturdays and can fluctuate that start time depending on the majority of racers. Sundays, well, that is not out of the question either. It is just tough with the football season and not having a TV - Yet! :lol:
Mike & crew!

I'm coming Friday no matter what, practice or race from 6:00 - 8:00 is that cool Mike? i gotta pay like $5 to practice right?

So is there going to be a touring car race this friday? Do you expect enough to show to have an actual race? And if so what time would it start? Any set track rules yet?

Last week, people said 6:00 was too early... then some say racing should all be on Saturday... I say if there are enough racers, we will race anytime! 7:00-ish seems to be the middle of the road for Friday want-to-be-racer's. Doors open around Noon.

I have heard of 4 people bringing their touring car in this Friday evening. We can make it a race if we have 2 or more! Ha ha We did that last week actually. I can't see charging people 10 bucks to race if there are only 2 or 4 people... if it is a low number like that, it will be "practice" pricing I figure. 5 beans that goes toward the electricity and the mall. :(

As far as rules, we do have some. They will be posted at the track, but our sign guy has not delivered yet. (Frequency board & rules) Basically, this is not a "Death Race 2000"... but general common sense rules apply. No smoking, controlled substances, fighting, etc. As far as more technical rules, you can use any tire compound you want, and general racing rules apply to the actual racing.

I would suggest bringing an extension cord, as our "drops" are not installed to the island tables.

Maxx, will y ou be racing your Mini-T? Most of those racers come on Saturday. But you are very welcome to come in Friday.

Mike
:thumbsup:

Mike,

I'm gonna stop up Friday night with my Mini-T, whether im gonna be racing it or watching u guys race tourning cars...My mom is dropping me off around 6:00 and picking me up around 8:00 unless u guys race past that time

Mike,

U got a Mini-T bearing kit at the store? thanks

Whats a 14 year old kid doing posting on Hobby Talk at 12:55am on a school nite?

We had an inservice day today :P...So last night I was on the laptop in my bedroom reading forums.

Mike,

Thanks for allowing me to drive today, the track is alot of fun oval or roadcourse. I'm pretty sure im gonna be able to get dropped off for the race tommoro. By the way, is there a Mini-T stock class and a modified class?

-Eric


WHO ALL IS RACING TOMMORO?

Eric,
Thanks for stopping in. You set up your Mini-T nice! We should have a stock/mod Mini-T class tomorrow if we have enough between the two. Although, your Mini-T was running pretty well with the battery selection you have! I am going to get those for the store.
See you tomorrow!
Mike

That would be nice. I just got done charging my batts. and im all packed up. Which class would i be running in?

Hey Eric!
You are up late! It is past my bed time!
You would be in stock because you have a stock motor. But you have a STRONG motor and could hang with the mod guys if you wanted... we will see how many entries we have. Do you want to run Oval, Roadcourse or both?

I'm not even tired :P (Dont ya love Mountain Dew?) Actaully i'd like to run both if everyone agrees, but im leaning more towards roadcourse if it comes down to one format

I'm beat! Well, we will have fun tomorrow. See you then! :wave:

I'm looking foward to meeting more racers. One quick question, what time should i get there? 11:30? My dad said that you said they might not start till around 2:00. Thank you

Mike,
Had a blast today. Hopefully you will have a turn out next weekend like there was today. Alot more exciting with that many people. The pro truck races are insane and the pan car races today were great.

^ which guy were u?

Great time today. Thanks to all who participated in racing today! I hope everyone had fun!
Results are posted on the website.

Congratulations to Bob Pierce for winning the track record prize; Hines Ward autographed picture. Not sure what the next prize will be but we will work on something. ;)
Track is open daily for practice!
Mike
:cool:

I also had a lot of fun. I wasn't expecting to see that many people there, and all of them were friendly too. Only if it wasn't for those Turnbuckles on the mini-T.......lol....I'll be sure to race again this coming Saturday
