Carpet Racing in Northern Michigan

Hey Jake. I guess we know where you got the red stuff to paint the dodge. Nothing like putting your lifes blood into your work.

Also, that body looks low to the ground. I think I will mention to Jon and Kevin that we need a tech inspection for height.

Actually George, it is a bit low.....I need some different front body mounts.

And no, it isn't "blood" red as you call it, it is Pactra's birght red. Yes FROM A CAN!

Scott, I wish you would send some of that snow our way, I want to get my girlfriends snowmobile out, she doesn't want to ride it on the grass.

So where is the race next weekend after next, not this coming (8&9th)? First weekend of freedom from school. Need to toss the on a track and see how it runs, and then try touring car. Probably get beat bad in both, but it still better than school or work!

So it sounds like escanaba has a carpet track now cool. Can you guys supply directions and a schedule of racing. Perry and I will do what we can to come up.

t3rc1 · Dec 6, 2001

Yes we now have our track layed down.Our first race is tomorrow nite(thurs)at 7:00 pm.We are planning some weekend races and i will post directions and schedules as we get them.The track is quite a bit smaller than last year but space is hard to find.We now have a bull ring like MT Pleasant.The track is fun and quite fast for a smaller track.The track is in Escanaba this year behind the delta do it center.

I don't know if anyone is from cincinnati area but we have a really good 12th and 10th scale oval program going. check us out at www.rccaronline.com the pics are of the old building but it is a really really nice facility.

Hi All, Hope all you guys are doing well.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the soo will no longer be racing oval. we will be racing roadcourse only for the rest of the year.
no one up here seems to be interested in running oval, we haven't had a pancar class since october so we have decided to scrap oval. If you know anyone that needs an l30 that for the most part has never seen the track let me know.
Jake hows the hand?
Hope it's getting better.
see ya, joel

mel · Dec 12, 2001

Sorry to here that Joel. You have a nice oval track. In fact one of the best that I ever raced on. Hopefully there will be some interest later on and maybe we can run there again. Later mel

rowle1jt · Dec 15, 2001

Hey Joel, it is much better, almost normal again. The hand not me....I will neber be "Normal" per say.

It is kinda like our thread is dying! Anyone coming to MP? Mel I know you and your crew will be there, how about you Joel? Scott? Anyone......?

Hi Jake.We are hoping to get there in january.Work is very slow right now and as a mechanic when the work isn't there i dont make money.Been making just enough to pay child support and race at home during the week.I am looking at changing my career to a machinist which i did for 9 years before i became a mechanic/engine rebuilder.Also i am waiting on some tires that i am buying from Mel.He gives me great deals on tires that are used or new,whatever he has excess of.He is such a cool person,although i must say that all the people whom i've met down state seem to be the nicest bunch of racers and people.Always willing to help and never making you feel like you are a bother.R/C needs these kind of people to help the new people out so we can keep a great hobby alive.When we figure out some dates for our weekend races i will let you all know where and when.We now have a bull ring just like you guys Jake.I'll let you know when we are going to come down there.Also,Sorry to hear about the oval racing in the Soo.Hey WIGMAN,funds have been tight for Kevin and i both,we really wanted to come up there more often but it's hard to when work is slow.Will let you all know when we run a weekend race.Hope to see you all real soon.Keep in touch guys.

Wigman sorry to hear you aren't doing oval anymore. Perry and I were looking forward to april.

rowle1jt · Dec 18, 2001

Gee Joel, now I guess I will have to bring the *NEW* TC3 up there, it is a 19 turn class right? Sorry to hear the Oval died, you guys had a wonderful track!

i guess it's back to go real fast and try to turn left....lol

rowle1jt · Dec 20, 2001

Gosh Jake, you will do anything to keep this thread on top, won't you!!
See you Saturday. I will be bringing a whole used car lot for sale

An X13, L30, several legends and enough radios to open a R... Shack. I will be racing legends and the outlaw. I am still afraid to face up to those guys in pan car, and at age 61, I don't think that I am going to get any better. My motto "I used to be a hack, but now I wreck you on purpose." Thats why I say that racing legends means never having to say you're sorry. I can hear Jon now, "DRIVERS READY..."

rowle1jt · Dec 21, 2001

Well George, it doesn't matter if your older, if your that good at taking people out, then just take me out, then your guarenteed not to come in last! LoL. An L30 huh? I'll trade you straight up for a real nice Woods X-13.....i even have some extra parts, pods, chassis's and such.

See you Saturday......
