The other thread was getting too long, and too full, so we've decided to start a new one. Please try and keep all your posts RC related if you would. Somehow or another, we always end up with too much needless junk.

Thanks in advance!
John

Is this practice schedule set in stone? I personally think it is a bummer. 3 hours of practice with sedans and trucks sharing the track is not really enough time. Is there atleast any way to extend the time to more than 3 hours. Just seems like alot of time will be wasted switching the tracks around. If there is anything I can do to help let me know I would be willing to do whatever it takes unless it is out of your control.
Jesse :confused:

If I remember right we practiced with trucks without jumps so we didn't have to switch back and forth. Right John? :confused:

That sounds like a good idea until we get enough people participating in the practice program to warrant two seperate nights

More participation = more practice nights!

I amputtin the truck together now,I'll be there on saturday!With my buddy eric.Just waitin on a few more parts an it will be set.I was wondering,I didnt record any of my set up from last year,What are you guys running for shock oil in the t4's with the stock springs?

David, don't you have any home work to do.

:jest: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

anther one right in a row dangGenius, another is spelled another not anther.http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon10.gif

saw him saturday.
Any idea if he'll be racing this season?

Also..... I think your bananna's ringing.

He said he didnt want to bother with Road coarse, but i forget what he said about running oval.

Genius, another is spelled another not anther.http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon10.gifI know that was'nt RC related but I could'nt pass it up.

Gerald will be there Friday evening, maybe he's talked to him.

You mean things like:
John - You've got a PM!
Fred - You've got one, too.
etc., etc, etc. :freak:

Yeah, or deer hunting, hammers, stealing, blah... blah... blah!

When I look at the race schedules posted by both G.R. tracks, I think that both are making a mistake. The past has shown that Grand Rapids apparently doesn't have enough racers to support 2 tracks doing the same kind of racing on the same day (and same time). Here's my 2 cents worth:

Assuming Lansing races with the same schedule as past years, most of the state's oval racers will go there on friday night (and get home in the wee hours of saturday). The only time you could hope to lure oval racers from other parts of the state is sunday.

As for road racing, a few of the G.R. crowd went to Lansing last year, but many didn't (apparently too far to drive?). It makes sense to me for someone to run touring cars on sunday for those who don't want to go to Lansing.

You can argue all you want about who has tradition, or who got their deal together first, but I really think you should work together to come up with schedules that minimize the conflicts. Flip a coin, arm-wrestle, do rock-paper-scissors, whatever, just don't do a Hatfield-McCoy feud like last time.

OK, so that was more like 10 cents worth.

hey mike that sounds good to me i'll dig through my parts and get a 19t ready

Yeah, or deer hunting, hammers, stealing, blah... blah... blah!


My hammer posts were a direct result of huntin posts.

I know that was'nt RC related but I could'nt pass it up.

OK, so that was more like 10 cents worth.Kevin, I agree something needs to be done. Tony give me a call anytime if you want to work it out. Thanks, Fred.

Can someone bring some corrected fliers up to the store? Also a map would be awesome. I will have a mapquest one on the web site later today..

Hey grhobby dude,

I emailed you that stuff. :thumbsup:

John and Dave please check your PM's Thanks.

got it thanks

Sounds like my charge might be takin a crap.If I turn the amps up on a charge it starts to make a loud high piched buzzing noise and then a few minutes later it stops charging with a error message that says input voltage to high.I turn the amprage down to 5.5 amps from 6 and it wont do it.

Mike, are you coming out for a little practice tomorrow night?

Rich, maybe your batteries need a little "refresh".

If you have a discharge tray, let the battery pack on it for 5 minutes, let it sit for an hour and try to charge it again. I know I did that on some 3000's to use for tools and it worked...
If you don't have a discharge tray, then try to charge the battery one cell by one cell (or a couple or 3 at a time if your charger doesn't go down to one cell) for let's say 5 minutes. Then discharge the whole pack and charge it again after an hour of rest... (FYI, one night of rest after discharging gives the best results on my old packs...)

Hope this helps...
See you saturday night !
Mike

Mike, are you coming out for a little practice tomorrow night?
Mike who? Me ?
I wish I could Fred, but I really don't think I can make it. :confused:
I'm pretty busy at work right now, and I still have "little" things to do for the wedding preparation...

I'll be there saturday though...:thumbsup:
Mike (Champ)

Lets see, John, Jesse, AJ, Fred, and Andrew. If we can get you out to the track we could have a sporting good time.

Yeah, anybody else coming to play?

Bad MoJo (Hastings Mike)

You should stop by the track sometime if you get the chance.
After all, we live in the same little town. We might know each other!
Maybe even Pat Clement may be stopping by.

Lets see, John, Jesse, AJ, Fred, and Andrew. If we can get you out to the track we could have a sporting good time.
I agree with that Fred!!! I might be more available in November... Then you will have to watch your spot in the A-main... 'cause I'm coming at you... LOL :cool:
Well, that part we'll see, but for sure I will try to come for practice middle of November...

Have fun...
Mike (Champ)

Anybody got a decent ESC for sale?
:cool:

Hey Fred,

Did you find another ESC? I hope you do so you can race stadium with us. Either that or you can borrow the one out of your sedan. :thumbsup:

See ya saturday! :wave:

-Dustin K. :dude:

Dustin, if I can find one to replace my non-working Novak, I'll give Fred's extra one back. Actually, I'll give it back to him anytime he wants it. After all, it's his!!

What happend to your Novak?

Beats me, one minute it worked, the next minute it didn't!!

I felt bad for fred when the ESC in his truck caught of fire. :cry: That would suck. :mad: Hopefully Novak will replace it for him. :thumbsup:

Has anyone talked to Mr. Clean lately? :confused: I hope he comes and races with us. I heard he got a croch rocket,.......now thats hard to picture. :jest:
