Geesh rocket, how dare you leave some r/c product behind. lol. Its almost as bad as leaving all of your r/c stuff there, and never taking it home. lol cya on the 18th.

So did Zubie break the mod record???

Zubie.... Was he there this past weekend?
What kind of rollout am I looking at for stock. I was thinking about 19turn but from what eveyone is saying, it looks like stock and mod are going to be the big classes. So, that is what I am getting ready for.

Yep Zubie was there runnin mod. He told me he may opt for stock though this Saturday, he wasnt sure.

2.35-2.39 is a good starting point with a Monster.

Zubie broke everything but a record :jest: :D :dude: ........Zubie's car on crack. Now hes a proud member of FGB Racing !!!!

Is There A Rain Date For This Event? After Wacthing The Weather Channel It Looks Like Ivan Might Have Akron A Little On The Soakin Freakin Wet Side.

Last year the Sunday after was the rain date, but Sunday is looking even worse than Saturday weather wise. Right now they are showing 30% chance Friday and 40% chance Saturday so hopefully the Hurricane misses us.

We'll have to check with Walt on a good rain date.

Its a shame we cant have it today, sunny and not a cloud in the sky, 75 degrees. Ughhhh

Adam M, did you get my email this morning?

Erock-you Got Mail.

I didnt get anything yet Adam?

Hey guys!

Even if it rains who all is in for some test and tune on the old banked carpet track. Poor Walt, Im coming up Friday morning and plan on being there till Saturday night. Whether or not its raining???? :p

I'll make the trip from Toledo if the backup plan is in door carpet!! 4 hours round trip is too iffy without insurance that I can put a car on some kind of track.

Myself, my dad, and 3 other guys I am bring with me will all be in if the back-up plan is the indoor carpet. See you guys saturday.

Word to the wise........Someone better run the Carpet track backup plan by Walt before people start making plans......

Just checked the weather channel and they backed the rain % down to 30% for both Friday and Saturday....let's keep our fingers crossed.

I don't think walt would let the Carpet thing go, but I don't know him as well as you locals do so maybe I'm wrong. One of the guys thats coming with me asked if the track outside got rained out if we would race inside and I said I highly doubt it. Hopefully the weather channel is right and the rain holds off till sunday or monday, but Hurricanes are so un-predicable who knows what will happen by saturday. I'll have my fingers crossed.

Zubie,
Tell Ernie I want a rematch this weekend, from the last time we raced up in Cleveland.

Ernie P. 49 4:02.214
Eric H. 49 4:02.220

Closest finish I ever had.

E-rock hope your runnin a spurgear protector on that that hypersled! Im planning on being close.
I will have my rocket ready! See y'all Friday night.

Ernie you had the fastest times in the main last year buddy just a bad start, so I have my work cut out for me........and yeah i got a spurgear guard on...LOL
C-ya Friday

Eric

I talked to Walt today about Running indoor, He really didn't say too much. By the sounds of it if he had enough people I don't think it would be a problem....

Here is what I was thinking. Alot of us are coming up Friday morning and plan on running all day just getting some laps in. Well if it rains why cant we just run laps on the carpet track? I'll slip him 10 bucks for electric on Friday and if it rains on Saturday I'll pay again and run all day! I dont care if we race on the clock, just take turns on the track in classes. you know get 4 or 5 mod cars and run together and then get 6 or 7 stock cars and go out, and so on. Who cares what we race on as long as we can race!!!!! Plus walt can make some money and sell some parts so it wont be a total loss for anyone. Then when its time to leave we can go for a good dinner and talk with old friends and have a good time, I'll call walt tomorrow and see, but I dont think it should be to big of a problem?????

Mario....

Mario..........Dick Goddard just said NO RAIN !!!!

Mario..........Dick Goddard just said NO RAIN !!!!
Always Trust in Goddard !!!!!!

Dr. Shitaki Say Shut Your Pie Hole,..no Rain! Oye!

I know they all say no rain ...BUT just in case I talked to Walt and if it rain's We CAN race indoors it would be a go......So everone show up rain or shine.......

If it is raining I will be there....LOL

Just kidding,,C-Yall Saturday morning after I get my fish filet........

Dusty Dean

Hey Dr. Shitaki,

I have been watching the weather channel and they say rain!! But what do they know.

I talked to Walt today and he said everyone make your plans cause if it rains we still have a big race to put on. We are going to move it indoors and run on the carpet! So rain or shine it is a go whether or not its raining!!! This came right from Walt himeself so all you out of towners bring it on and lets have some fun!!!!!

See ya Friday and Saturday!!!
Mario................

Mario.......the weather channel sucks.......I just watched our local news this morining and the said NO RAIN !!!!!! So with that being said who all is coming? I'll be there Friday.


Amish just ask Betsy......has she headed for higher ground yet?

Radio news on the way in to work today said, Despite Ivan, Looks like we will be DRY for the weekend..woohooo !!

Who Was The Idiot That Brought Up The Whole Rain Thing Anyway?...lol.if It Does Go Indoors Is It Going To Start At The Same Time?

How bout a last minute roll call:

Willow Mill and Seaford guys, we haven't heard from you guys in a while, are you still planning on making the trip??

I forgot to mention we have some really great door prizes for this race as well.
Some packs from SRC and Powerpush, Bodies and other misc items from Bandit R/C, EA Motorsports sent a Monster stock motor and some brushes, Great items from Finishline racing. Also a package from KC racing has been sent out as well.
We appreciate it !!

I just watched the noon news and it looks dry for saturday. Some possible showers on Friday but mainly south of Classic (lets Hope). So Friday might be hit and miss but I'll be there I need the practice.

Later,
Rick Liehr

Adam, Betsy just ran for the hills!!!! It pouring out over here!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to thank Walt Ellis for putting on one heck of a show and for Eddie Ellis who called the races. Everything ran smooth.

Also I want to thank all the guys who traveled in and the locals for coming out to support the race. 50 guys for an outside race (non-nationals) is pretty awesome.

Also a big thanks to our sponsors for sending some pretty darn good Door Prizes:
Thanks to
Fabio from SRC Batteries
Tony from Powerpush Batteries
Kenny and Dawn from KC Racing
Alan from Sureshot
Charlie and Billy from Bandit R/C
Dale from Protoform
Rick from Finishline Racing
Eric from EA Motorsports

See you next year,

Oh and one last thing I want to thank my sponsors for helping me out, without you it would have been tough to pull off the TQ and win.
