Ray - Yep. You should come out. I think Paul is planning on coming out. Fred and Aaron will be there, too.

I'm going to be racing mod 1/12th (as long as my mod motors come in) and stock TC.

Mo - sounds good! Congrats with the Halloween race!

Rich-you racing at halo this Saturday?

cool thanx's that is a pretty sweet looking track if i could get down there i would

WOW Rich, you are right on top of things. Thanks! See you Sat.

mcsqish, what are the dates for the NORRCA Nats? Thanks

Kolors by bla, bla, bla, now if you arn't smart enough to go to CEFX.net and look for your self, I guess I could let you know. But then you allready know..lol For eveyone else but Dale, oops Kolors, the NORRCA nats are from Nov. 4-7. The stock momo will be monster stock based, the 19T might be Reedy based, and NOVAK will have systems for brushless. See you Sat. Dale, if you bring servo, I bring rent-a-wreck.

So how long have they been racing at Halo? Buddy and me went there a couple of times last year before the Gate reopened when it was Hobby Stop. I think it is a pretty cool place to race, being in a mall and all. Ray- it will be good to see someone I know there. I plan on running at Halo till football season is over, then I might travel back to the Gate. I don't know, I would rather race on Saturdays anyways.
See you all on Saturday,
Jerry

I have one quick question, well two. Can we run with personal transponders? Do they have anything for a hobby store for tires and parts?
Thanks,
Jerry

Yep, you can use personals.

If I remember correctly, they had tires and other parts in the hobby store. It is quite nicely stocked and will get even more stuff as soon as Josh gets back from Worlds.

Hey All,
Just got home from Halo, and the only thing I have to say is that what a great place to race at. I haven't touched my R/C stuff since July and it was great to get back on a drivers stand. Meet some great people and got to see Chicky, Jimmy and others lay down some great laps. I know where I will be next Saturday.
Jerry

I should be there next Saturday-I hope!!! I cannot wait to see what Josh did with the place!

Someone-please post the results files or at least top 3 in each class.I am as always a curious race fan!!

just curious about the results too, since i couldn't make it saturday. :(

This is going off of my (poor) memory. I'm not sure I have mod TC qualifying correct, but I do know Paul TQ'd.

Qualifying:
----------
stock TC: Jimmy, Keith Billanti, Rich Chang.

stock 1/12th: Paul Ciccarello, Jeff Switzer, Fred Baumgartner

mod TC: Paul Ciccarello, Bobby Flack, Walt Henderson

Mains:
------
stock TC: Rich Chang, (then Keith, then Jimmy?)

stock 1/12th: Paul Ciccarello, Rich Chang, Jeff Switzer

mod TC: I have no idea how this finished but I think it was Bobby, Paul or Danny? There were so many broken cars. There was a great battle between Paul and Bobby Flack for most of the race. Walt was in there but broke.

I know I know. I should not be here since I am an oval geek. Anyhow, Will Josh have any oval racing on Sunday Nov 7th? I will be on my way back from Indiana and Toledo is on the way. If not, I will most likely go to Larrys and run 12th. Just curious.

Hi Jamie!

How goes it? Oval starts the Sunday after the NORRCA onroad nats which are Nov 4-7. So, the 7th is out in regards to oval. However, it would probably be worthwhile to drop there on your way home to watch the mains. :)

See you around!

-Rich

Rich, are they racing road course on Saturday & Sunday?

For now road racing is on Sat. and practice is on Sun. Oval should start the weekend after the NORRCA nats. Then it will be: Tues: oval practice, Wed-Fri: road practice, Sat: road racing, Sun: Oval racing.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Where did Josh finish in Florida? See you guys Saturday.

Hey guys,
One quick question, what is a good brush/spring combo for 12th scale?
See you guys Saturday.
Jerry

David, he finished 1/12 in the "C" He did not have much luck.

Jerry, it depends who you ask. If you ask 6 people, you get 8 different answers. I have been playing with all kinds, and am still ssslllllooooooowwwwww.....

good combo,
full 767's with both egdes filed off, green springs and 2 teeth less than what the fast guys tell you they are running.
Mo

Well, I didn't think I'd be able to make it racing again this Saturday, but it is looking like I can make it! :) Looks like Danny and Jeff Miles, Aaron, and Fred will be there, too!

-Rich

Dale Kropey - please look me up at Halo on Saturday.

Thanks Mo, I need to learn more about motor work.
Jerry

Hey,

I have been the one to order the flappers for the Gate last two times. if you need a contact to get HDPE flapper material in custom lengths and height-e-mail me and I'll get you guys hoked up w/ my supplier.

Ray - you coming out to race tomorrow?

Nope-I forgot-two Hallowwen parties tomorrow. 11am-for the kids and then 7pm for the adults..bruuuuuhahaha!! Or is that breewww -ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Are you doing the NORRCA nats? Maye I'll come out and spectate Saturday.

Any further developments on the NORRCA Nats? Is it still on? Attendance looks okay?

(The reason I ask is because this is the race that was canceled in the spring and was supposed to be held in Knoxville.)

Rich--Which compound of Parma tires did you run in 1/12 mod on Sat.?

It looks as if you can sign up when you show up for the race.

Hi Adam - pink rears, magenta fronts.

Rich,
How you doin? I miss racing with you guys. I'll try to come up before the champs. Does Halo have a phone #.
thanks
chuck

Hi Chuck,

Yeah, that is the one bummer part of having all these great tracks -- everyone gets spread out.

I'm not sure what the phone # is for Halo.

See you in a few weeks at the Champs! :)

-Rich

Hi Chuck, the phone number (I think) is 419-693-0253. I got it off of the NORRCA entry form. Marshall started running his sedan again, so the champs must be getting close.:)

Time to get your oval cars ready. I just finished the 1/12 and I'll start on the 1/10 later this week. I'll no longer have to work sundays after the champs so I should be at Halo turning left all day. :thumbsup:

Need to get ready for the Birds :roll:

Just to let everyone know, Josh should have everything needed for oval racing ready for this Sunday (11/14/04). He was wondering how much of an interest there is to race oval this Sunday, 11/14? The schedule for racing would be road course racing on Sat, 11/13, oval racing Sunday, 11/14, maybe oval practice Tues, 11/16, then back to road course until Sunday 12/5. He is closed on Mondays. If there is not enough interest he will stay with road course until 12/5. So if you are interested post your thoughts here.

For thoes who haven't heard, Halo Hobbies (Josh's track at the Woodville mall, in Toledo, OH) is open for racing. They are open for practice Tue-Fri untill 9pm, oval practice (when it is ready) will be Tues. Racing is Sat. doors open at 10am racing starts at 2pm. When racing is completed if there is time practice is open untill 9pm. Sun will be oval racing when Josh has everything ready. Untill then 9am-6pm is practice. Practice is $7, racing is $10 first class $5 for second. They are getting a full line hobby shop set-up also. Do we go in through the mall or do we still use the back door like when it was hobbystop? Please lte me know thanks! a group of toruing car guys are planning to come up from cleveland area. any more info would be great.

You can still use the back door (there were/are actually 2 back doors. You now enter through the other one). The door is painted green and has the "Halo Hobby" logo on it.

-Rich

squishy--I think that Josh will see a lot of oval racers after the champs. But until then :confused:

well, so far I think two people have shown intrest from the posts I put on hobbytalk.

what about a long jump competetiton? :thumbsup:
