Monti007 11-19-2004, 11:40 PM What classes do they run? I am looking for some where to race this sunday
-Monti-
Jason L 11-19-2004, 11:47 PM they are running 4-cell stock, gearbox stock, stadium truck stock, touring car, legends, touring spec., 1/18 , And what ever that show's.
Monti007 11-19-2004, 11:57 PM How many folks are they getting in 4 Cell? How about directions from Indy?
-Monti-
Jason L 11-20-2004, 10:16 AM there is about 4 of us running 4 cell so far, like they said they are just starting up. but directions take I69 to 20 then head into angola and its about 3 miles from I69, on the left side of the road there is a bar called wacky jacks. turn on the road right beside it. and it is the blue building behind wacky jacks bar. then the enterace is in the back of the building. The side door says slam'n sammy's.
Krisfo 11-22-2004, 12:20 AM Ray.....is that you???
Monti.....really nice place.....when you walk in the door smaller sized Fort Wayne.......
Like Jay L. said new place, just starting out......very fun to race at!!!!!!!!
Kris Fowler

RACERX1 11-24-2004, 01:12 AM Hey Kris Couldnt Figure Out How To Get The Picture Uploaded
RACERX1 11-29-2004, 07:28 PM Raced at Slammin Sammys on sunday had an awsome day. Sam and his wife and Jim Callihan put on a great show. I havent raced in 5 years and Jim coaxed me in to running 1/12 scale along with gearbox havent ran to classes since 1992 but didnt have any problems doin it again. (even tho my 4 cells for 1/12 scale are oolder than snot like 1400 scrs and 1700 scrc pack ha ha).
If you havent raced at slammin sammys the place is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:
Who are you Racerx1? This is Clint (moto)

RACERX1
where about in angola are you
Metal 11-30-2004, 09:29 PM Well after a very long weekend of tuff racing in the first race of the Triple Crown series at Summit I must say Sammy will be proud of his Gamers Hobby cars as they both made the A-Main in 4 cell stock pancar. I myself finished 1st and Jason come in 7th. Now if we could only get them to pick-up hotel costs for the next race of the series we would be set!.....lol
Who's this I see with a new Gearbox car? Do I smell competition....(sniff,sniff..) Maybe I can talk Jason into getting his back out and come up this Sunday and have some fun with you guys. I know we both need it after this past weekends nerve racking event. :-()
The Real Deel
RACERX1 11-30-2004, 10:30 PM HI Metal
not really compitition i already heard you ran 69 laps with your gear box and i know jasons is fast i havent raced in five years and just now getin back in to it slowly i miss runin 1/10 pan but not to sure about running 4 cell. i am used to running 6 cell pan. right now i only have one gp 3300 and one new 2400 pack havent evev ran them yet. the packs i ran on sunday were 2000s
and a 2400 i bought in 2001 that one only has 10 runs on it. and all those packs were dead shorted since 2001 there a little flat yet. im still kinda rusty to on my driving (ha ha). plus i dont think martin was real happy after the main on sunday in gearbox (being he is new to the sport) because i beat him and i only turned 57 laps the other guys only turned 52 and less. that is why i started running pan cars in 1992 up till 2001 i want to go fast with them.
congrats on winning at summit brian and to jason for makin the a main

RACERX1 12-03-2004, 05:01 PM Sorry Martin
I you were up set If i race sunday i will give you a hand with goin faster. and if I race I will only be running one class not two the 1/12 scale body is crap and I havent got the other one painted yet. Oh dont worry bout the wheel it was oldddd Martin. I might even run the green gearbox instead but dont know. Been working on a computer power supply for my lathe and tire truer. well see every body at the track wont be there saturday but sunday if i race martin what time do you get there if its early we could cut the com on your motor and see if that doesnt help. HEY SQUEEKER IT WAS GOOD TO SEE YOU SUNDAY

I make stupid mistakes but oh well i'll be thier sunday if i can get the real car running for the woman :freak: but other then that i am planning on going racing see ya all sunday .. hey i am also looking for a used cheap charger !!
GAMERZ RETREAT 12-04-2004, 12:01 PM Great job ! Last week end Brain , j-belly and Kevin...Will see on some perk's for ya Sam
Krisfo 12-05-2004, 09:37 PM Hmmm....I can see I don't get any love here either.....
The Blue/Silver bullet is back in the KGF Motorsports stable......I Finished 6th in the A-Main......So Sammy is there any sponsorship $$$$ available for the #45 car????
Call me and we work out a lucritive advertising deal involving webpage(s), decals, and race sponsorships for your track.......
And Ray, I hate to say it dude....but 6 cell stock is dead man......all the big doggies that used to run 6 cell made the switch to 4 cell 19t, 4 cell mod, and 4 cell Stock.........
Don't be afraid to try it man, after about a full season and half........still learning but making some noise.........
Krisfo
jason crist 12-05-2004, 10:29 PM Krisfo
making noise .............. oh ya that was you hitting the wall as i pass ya....lol
just messing with ya
he's right try 4 cell stock your tires will last longer
and closer competion
later
jason
hope ya can make it to new castle
RACERX1 12-05-2004, 11:12 PM im gona try 4 cell 1/10 when i get more batterys im doing like you did kris im still useing 2000s and two 2400s and one gp3300 and its a six cell when i raced last sunday there wernt any 4 cell pan 1/10 pans so i ran my olddddddd 4 cell packs in 1/12
and didnt do to bad i will keep my 6 cell packs for my inbred gearbox. ive got some 2000s im gona cycle and turn them in to 4 cells and see how it gos oh kris the fast guys at petes still run 6 cell pan laters
racerx
Krisfo 12-06-2004, 12:08 AM I think Jason would agree with me on this one......Yeah those dudes at Pete's are fast, but they really ain't all that because they race one another week in and week out.
Meanwhile in 4 cell, we (Jason, Brian, Chet & myself) race Jason Crist, Brent Lane, Jamie Hanson, Butch Beebe, Mark Recio, Frank Ulbrik, John Foister, Monti Panzika (sorry If I Botched the last name Monti), Jerri Moss, Dave Zipp, John Zuback.....and you know what...most of these cats I mentioned are SPONSORED BY MANUFACTURES in the industry......and when you can hang with those guys you can say your descent.....and when you beat those guys....YOUR SOMEBODY!!!!!! And you make a name for yourself......can't make a name for yourself racing a class that is old and outdated......Sorry to offend anyone.........
Took me awhile to figure it out........and I'm glad I made the switch.....
And Ray...you don't need to spend a lot of $$$$$$$$$ to field a competive car either........
I know of quite a few people who spent alot of money for just one race to make the show (A-Main), but I didn't and I made it......and that was very gratifying to me.....
Later Guys.....
Kris
j21moss 12-06-2004, 12:52 AM Kris.. wait until next time!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL
RACERX1 12-06-2004, 01:16 AM kris i never spend alot of money on racing i know a guy who spent about 10 grand in about a year and half to go racing. heck my 1/12 scale car is the original fiberglass kit from 1992 or 1993. And my gear box tranmission is off of a jrx2. its all in the setup of the car anything can go fast if you set it up right. im not even running a new body on my pan car it has a 1996 grandprix body on it. and kris as far as fielding a competive car when i raced all the time after racing at petes and the checked flag race track 95 % of the time i was in the amain. And back then i bought a new 10l3 two new speed controlers and motors and a fantom dyno that i hardly use heck one of the newest file on it for a saved motor was dec1999. and i raced up until 2001 and quit cause the track in ft wayne that zack and his dad ran closed because nobody hardly raced there. And back then i was somebody cause i have raced with manufactered drivers before. kris remember petes is were i met you.
hope i didnt offened anyone
thanks racerx
ps ive been in this sport along time and seen alot of people and tracks come and go!!!!
jason crist 12-06-2004, 10:08 AM racerx
check this web site out for batteries that are low priced but you'll get your money worth.
drop Dave an e-mail there and tell i sent you and you can get 4 cell 3300 the new generation packs or even 6 cell packs if you stilll like to run them.
http://leadingedgerccars.com/
he also has 1/2th scale and my personal favorite 1/10th scale chassis (THE EDGE)
kRIS
your right you have made that move to the next level and stay on focus for what you want and your goal.

Jason L 12-06-2004, 07:00 PM hey every body, we had a good day of racing at sammy's this weekend. The real Deel broke the track record in 4 cell pan again. It is set at 67 laps know. and in the main we had a real close, good driving in and out of the corner's.
And kris, sammy ain't sponsering any body. We put his stickers on our cars, so he can have his name out there so people will see that there is another hobby shop and track. I'm sure if you want to put his sticker on your car he will prob. get you some. Me and brain tried to hit him up for a sponser ship with joking with him and he said he could't do it.
olecarnewguy 12-06-2004, 07:53 PM who's online
iceman88 12-06-2004, 08:38 PM hey jason I think we need a claim on cars Just joking Brian. Had a lot of fun sunday even though it was a little unfair running touring with gearbox. I tell you what if martin could of got his car to handle he would of give me a one heck of a run. you guys gonna be there sunday. Brian R
Jason L 12-06-2004, 09:05 PM I'm not sure what the plans are for sure, there Brian R. But all that i know is martin prob. won't try another one of my modifieds until he gets new tires for his car. lol
Krisfo 12-06-2004, 09:07 PM Jason L - I know I was j/k too
Jason Crist - Thanks bro....appreciate the encouragement....means alot to me bud!!!!!!
Racerx - Yeah I know, and I don't race there anymore.....too expensive, and people's attitudes stink! I go where the people that race there are cool, and the management is cool too!! And I go to tracks that support my races also....like the guys here at Slammin Sammy's Raceway....
Moss - Better get 82 laps....or you'll just be in the wway of me and Jason Crist......:jest: j/k
Later dudes...
Kris
Metal 12-06-2004, 11:32 PM Hey Kris did you figure in the co$t of the 2 or was it 3 brand new 4 Cell packs you broke out for the big show last Sunday? O'yea I do remember you buying atleast one new motor off the PDX trailer.....You were well over $100 bones for the weekend. Did I miss anything....lol
Depending on what level you want to run at, I am here to say 4 Cell Pan Car is very expensive. If your happy running 57 laps when the rest are running close to 60 then yes its not expensive.
Big Deel
jason crist 12-07-2004, 11:16 AM metal
4 cell stock is not as expensive as 19 turn or even mod, but yes it will cost.
people ask me how much does it cost to race r/c cars.............
i say how fast do you want to go will determin how much you spend.
motos, the motor i ran the best with at fort wayne and TQed with was only 63 on power but had 24,000 rpm's
so i didn't have the best motor but i had it geared right
and corner speed ....corner speed ...............corner speed
later
jason
j21moss 12-07-2004, 01:44 PM well Kris!!! If you can get that 82-83 laps.. then your faster than Busch and 6 cell stock!!!!!.................NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! and besides sorta my home track... so I'm not moving outta da way.... Earn it!!!!!! LOL
RACERX1 12-07-2004, 02:41 PM Thanks Jason C.
For the link to the leading edge. But the only thing Im gona get are some batterys. Didnt want to start up a deal with the sport being to exspensive or not I know it can cost $$$$ to go fast to a point ya still gota know how to set one up. And I proved that last week at Sammys I ran with junk packs in 4 cell 1/12 and turned 60 laps and the fast guys turned 65 laps and when I do get good packs look out. Hey kris if there adittudes stink at petes and there to exspensive why do you endorse petes on your web site thats the kind of attitude that hurts our sport I never had a problem racing any where Ive heard all kinds of excuses why people wont racer at certain tracks Ive raced at and most of those tracks are closed now!!!!!!!! look at touring cars when i first started hanging out at sammys there where loads of them now there gone but a few. Guys buy whats hot or the latest fad and then it goes away then goes out and buys all new thats what makes this sport $$$$$ heck not even a month ago kris you where just about ready to hang it up and sell every thing cause you couldnt get the hang of 4 cell but you stayed think about that new guy or people just getting in the sport that bought a touring car or another car and cant run them cause there out what does that do for the sport
hey metal are you guys running 4 cell stock this sunday at sammys
racerx
ovalrookie 12-07-2004, 06:10 PM sam i sent you a pm ....hope to be there sunday.......
olecarnewguy 12-07-2004, 07:01 PM hey guy's i would really like to have a faster car but i need help on finding a different chassis ( no spell check ) you know what i mean . I want to stick to gear box and be legal . so if some one can help with a cheap one let me know and about what i would cost me to be a little faster martin_46703@yahoo.com :freak: thanks guys and for you that don't know me i am running an ole dual sport lol PLEASE HELP LOL :roll:
Krisfo 12-07-2004, 09:25 PM HEY MOSS!!!!!Calm down dude.......just messing with your head man.....and yes I wanna earn it!!! Some hardcore, hard fought racing short track style!!! So do the rest of us too.......I was just following Jason C's smack.....lol
I think it will be a real challenge to even get 80 laps there......
About Racerx previous post....I choose not to comment here.....Ray how about you call me at (574) 529-1936 and I give you my answers.......
On the endoresment thing.......as of right noww the racetrack in question is removed from the site......and will be replaced with Slammin Sammy's Raceway's information......the rest of the businesses on the site are the ones I CHOOSE to endorse based on Customer Service, Reliability, Quality, and the biggest one INTEGRITY!!!
Thanks,
Krisfo
