Wow Thanks Slowpoke for the great indorsement. I may not be very fast on the track but I can paint (at least I think I can LOL) and make people look good going in circles.

Roar
I've been a loyal R/C racer since 1986. I started racing oval at hobbytown back then and we raced 4 minutes in stock. It is now 2005, 19 years later and Roar is still running 4 minutes in stock class. With the technology we have in batteries (1400 then, 3300 now) and motors, we should be running 5 minutes in stock class. We run 5 minutes in stock class at our local track and still have over 100 seconds of run time left in our batteries.

Roar allows stock touring to run 5 minutes so why can't the oval cars run 5 minutes also? I think it's time for Roar to step up to the plate in the new millenium and allow stock oval class to run 5 minute races. We've been running 4 minutes long enough and now it's time to evolve. I know that I am not alone in this matter; we have raced in different states that race 5 minutes locally already.

Roar, it's time to move ahead to the new future of R/C racing.

Devoted R/C Racer Forever

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who put on the show this weekend. It was really fun racin' with all of you guys again. Definitely keep us all posted about future races!


Eddie Belec

I agree with Eddie, had a terrific time, good close racing and a very good job of running the show.

For those who missed what a facility and great group of people to race with.

Thanks again.

AJ Strawn

Well the old part, only apply's to me!

Thanks to all who drove a long ways to run at the HobbyPlex this weekend. We love seeing you racers from Colorado, great drivers and very competitive, hope to see you guys at Vinton.
Jim Carson

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank HobbytownUSA Omaha for puttinig on a fine event this past weekend. They have a first class facility and first class operation. I just wish that you were several hours closer. I think that I can speak for all of the Colorado crowd and say that we can't wait to come back. After a long drive home and a couple of long days at work, I sleep now.......

I unfortunately won't be at the upcoming race in vinton. After a week at the Snowbirds, two race weekends in between and this long weekend race, I need a week or two off.

Thanks for all the peeps that help out the wife in plex-cup class, i think she is still smiling. She's ready for another 57 lap race. Now if i can just learn how to drive.


Thanks again to all

T.Q AND A-MAIN plexCUP CLASS WIN
T.Q AND A-MAIN BRUSHLESS WIN (IT DID HELP THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE RUNNING BRUSHLESS, LOL)

You guys have a good weekend next weekend i be thinking of you while i am spending your hard earnd tax money...lol

Hey lets not forget the fine cookies you had at the Region race. They were TQ quality. :thumbsup: Thanks again. Maybe next time I'll bring a gallon of milk along. :)

We need a brick or something that people can kiss when they win. That'd be cool.

The cookies were to die for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.

Definite Congrats to Cynthia Mullins! After a 2 year break from driving, wheeling a 4 year old car to 57 laps. If she drive like she makes cookies we are all done for!

Let's blow the dust off this thread.

Anyone going to run oval at the plex this weekend? Danny B and me were thinking of coming over. What classes are going to be run if your going.

Mike C

Rob M. and I are looking at going this Saturday. We both have brushless cars because I think that may be all they have. But if you guys come over and want to run something else, I,m sure Rob would convert the cars to 19T open real quick.

If he's going through that much work may as well put mods in them

You're right. I think he would like that even better. He will probably see your post and reply to it.

Now come on guys, you know by now I always have a mod car ready to go. ;) If you guys make it over Ill go which ever way you want. Drop me an email if your going to make over and Ill have the mod stuff ready to go.

Rob M

Just make sure you have that Mod car ready in November. :thumbsup:

Sweet. Sonny's coming again. It'll be on like Donkey Kong.

I'll be running the races again this year, so I'm looking forward to seeing some great races. I won't be there this weekend, because of the offroad regionals, but I'll be there from next week on.

I'm trying to get some guys to run sedan oval with me. :thumbsup:

Later,
Alex

Im looking forward to doing battle again Sonny. Just make sure you PEAK your battery this time ;). This weekend could be a little interesting especially if we run mod. New car, first day on carpet, no oval groove at all. HMMMMMMMMMMM????????? might be something to video tape

Rob

You got the no groove part right. One reason why I thought of running mod sedan oval was to help the groove out a little. I'm always thinking of you. :wave:

Hey FroBoy
Will the Hobbyplex have a two day oval race next spring. I hope so as the Regionals were fun at the Hobbyplex last spring and it would be great to have another two day oval race in addition to the November 11,12,13 weekend.
Jim

We will. I just don't know the dates yet. We have to put it around everyone else's big races.

thumbs up Phil

Nice job Phil. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys, not much of a groove but car was pretty good.

BSR traction & Hefty voltage :thumbsup:

hey guys. thought i would just say hello. and ask if anyone is going to be running stock this weekend. or am i pretty much going to be in plex cup.. oh well.. thought i would ask. dont know how many guys from here actually get on here.

thanks guys had fun last weekend.. just need to get my own dyno so i can see my numbers. been putting motors together all week.. they should put down some pretty good numbers?? maybe!! if i really do know what i am doing.. but since i dont and this little black book is hard for my illiteracy to read. i may not..

DOUG!!

Great run Rob M. Another win in Brushless.

Ok I can give equal time. Nice job Rob. :thumbsup:
