If I'm looking at the right pictures those are old pictures from a few years ago.

What's up at the Grandriver Inn! Will Elvis be making an apperiance:jest: :wave:

You just never know. Michael Jackson was there last time. :thumbsup:

Nice place with restaurant and bar.

Todd likes the hot tub. :)

I don't think I will make it this time. I have to pick between Omaha and chilli and I would rather go to Omaha. SORRY

I'M GOING TO Omaha! But I have to go to chilli, it's the only place I can run my 6 cell car.

MK, Are you guys going to run Omaha, the following weekend?

MK, Are you guys going to run Omaha, the following weekend? Is Jay going to start running again!:thumbsup:

Larry- I want to make both races. I'll have to start saving my pennies.

Jay is racing again. He is using Bob's 2nd car right now. That means he has to completely go through it and make everything right.

I will be at chilii six cell stock,4 cell stock, and 4 cell 19 turn.I dont think I can make the trip to omaha to much sitting for me maybe if it was a few months later my butt could take it.lol

I understand, hope you heel fast. The race in Omaha should be a good one:thumbsup:

MK,

Are you guys still staying at the Grand River Inn, in Chilli?


I think I'm the only one going from here, does anyone want to spilt a room? If not that's cool.


Mr. Pearcy are you going to chilli, I know Jason's not. How about Kevin?

Let me know, so I can make the reservation. Thanks guys

Larry:thumbsup: :wave:

Easy on the Mr. there Lar. I don't think I'll make Chilli this year. It is too close to the Regionals & then the NORRCA paved nats are in May at Little Talladega (http://www.littletalladega.sytes.net/) & I for sure want to make that.

That's cool, anybody else going to chilli?

Larry, looks like I won't be going to the Chilli race. I want to go to the Omaha race and can't do both that close together. Mark and Todd are still going.

Well maybe I will spend that money on some new batts for Omaha, I will see at Omaha. MK e-mail me if you get a chance.

Larry-YGM.

You still stamping out license plates for the state? :jest:

Looks like anywhere from 2-4 of the Columbia Thunder gang may make it up to Chilli...

I'm expecting to run 4-cell Stock and Legends, and I ordered some RC4Less Orange rims for the 19 turn chassis, but need some track time to decide on that class. (All I get to run at CT is Stock)...

It's been a while since I have been on Billy's carpet track -- anyone run there recently? Same "rug" or ??

My self and todd we be there :thumbsup:

Tom the track hasnt changed same carpet.But it was cleaned from what I was told.My dad going to come up and run legends and help me pit.I will run 4 cell stock,6 cell stock,and of course 19 turn.I think I maybe the only one coming from springfield this time.

Matt, I think I will make the trip to chilli. I need to run my 6 cell car.

Tom, If you need any help, I will be glad to help with your 19t.

I think I will run 4 cell stock, 6 cell stock, and 19t.

Larry -- thanks for the offer! I may need all the help I can get -- only been running stock for the last year or so..!

Looking good for Chilli... I have my room reserved, Marvin says he's coming up with me, and there are two other guys from Columbia that say they are coming! (It's been really great having a "local" carpet oval to race at this winter -- also running 12th scale onroad every week has done a lot for my reflexes too!)

At your age Tom I didn't know you had any reflexes left.:jest:

I wish I could make but I can't go to chilli and then go to Omaha the next week.
Jason

That sounds great Tom!

At your age Tom I didn't know you had any reflexes left.:jest:

I know -- I didn't either, but I think all this carpet racing this winter helped me grow some new reflexes! Honestly, the 12th scale onroad has REALLY helped me -- as I got used to the twitchy onroad beast again, I was able to start freeing up the 10th scale oval car and gain corner speed. The last time I was on the rug in Springfield, the motors, etc. were OK, but the car would just "bog" in the turns, but I needed it that way to be able to run consistent laps... NOW, I'm not really any faster on the straights, but I just don't scrub speed in the turns -- I've picked up almost two full laps at Columbia by going to harder tires on the right side and freeing up the chassis! Of course, local 'club' racing isn't a good test, as all you "Big Dogs" aren't there to lay whips on me, but I can dream! :D

Heck, at Springfield, I ran a TRC Black36 LF, TRC Blue40 RF, and Green30 rears -- now I'm running RC4Less rubber, and at least 5 points firmer on every corner (Grey40 LF, HBlack50 RF, Tan35 LR, Black45 RR). That's 50% firmer on the RR! :thumbsup:

Hey Larry,
If I go I will just drive up on sunday. It is fun to run at chilli but the regionals are so close. Larry you better make it to Omaha!!

Kevin

Kevin their is 9 of us going to omaha! Looking forword to it.

How about results? Thought I heard a rumor that some guy named Bayless won something. :thumbsup:

I heard he won the shorts in the hot tub karoake contest.

Matt Bayless Won the Stock - 4 Cell- A Main, 6-Cell- A Main, and the 4 Cell- 19 Turn- A Main. He also set 2 new track records and TQ'd in Both Stock Classes. Here are some pictures from the Spring Oval Champs. Chillicothe, Missouri Race held yesterday. http://www.tntpowerhost.com/~crow/RC%20Racing/ I've got more that I will upload later, enjoy!

*p.s. you guys should ask Mark & Tony how to play "Pool"..lol p3/-\cE*

It was a good day of raceing Sunday.Big thanks to my dad and brother for corner working for me.It let me keep working on my cars.Could'nt of done it without them. Randy definitely had the better car in 19 turn just had a little bad luck in the main.Great raceing in 4 cell stock and six cell stock.

Great job Matt, I should have been their!

i disagree with that 19-turn car, u were pretty fast!

Great job Matt. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Bring that TQ plaque to the track so Brent can see what they look like.

Sorry I couldn't make the race this time. Will make the Fall race for sure if he has one. :thumbsup:

Nice job Matt. Man I hate you MK :devil:

My weekend was a real "mix"... TQ'd and won Legends -- WooHoo! Qualified 5th in 4-cell Stock and finished 5th in the main, about 1 second behind Larry E. -- we were nose-to-tail and door-to-door for almost the entire 4 minutes! 19 turn was good in qualifying (except for the third heat, where the car became a "drift racer"!) -- then in the main, as I was a full tilt on the back straight (2nd lap), a car was stuck in the corner entry and before I could react, I T-boned it... Broke a front body post (I saw the piece go flying after the hit), but the car seemed OK... Drove away and ALMOST made another lap, when the servo saver came off (the 1st hit had stripped the screw out of the servo), and the wheel just flopped over, leaving ME dead at the corner entry... Before I could say anything, I got T-boned big time and the car went DEAD... VERY DEAD... The other car penetrated the right side of the body, hitting the ESC, breaking pieces out of the case and splitting it open AND tearing it loose from the chassis. The only good thing was that the hit also turned the switch off, maybe saving the electronics...????

The good news is that I've done what I can for the case (patched it with CA and some lexan), and it seems to still work fine! COOL!

I also had a real mix of feelings about my weekend in 4-cell stock... MY previous best at Chilli was a 45/4:04 -- in fact, I'd only run 45 laps twice (the other was a 45/4:05)... Since the normal TQ was around 47 laps, I was way off the pace... This weekend, I stepped it up a notch and had a best "competition" run of 46/4:04 (with a 46/4:01 in practice), and backed that up with a 46/4:05, and two 45's (45/4:04.57 and 45/4:01)... The BAD news is that Matt raised the bar a huge amount and TQ'd with a 49/4:03..! YIKES!

Matt's run is pretty amazing, as the track is showing it's age... very "shaggy" in spots, and some SERIOUS bumps in spots -- cars sort of "wave hopped" on the back straight like a boat on choppy water... Same track for everyone, but nobody figured it out like Matt... :thumbsup:

WHO IS GOING TO GET TQ THIS WEEKEND?

4-Cell Stock - Mike Kelm or Philb
4-Cell 19t - Jason Jackson if he runs.
4-Cell Mod - Sonny, Dannyb, or ME :eek:
