Will do Jason....thanks for the offer Blain....hopefully we get some more help for the move and hope some of you can come out to race on Sunday??

[Giuseppe]

Stu said that he'd be willing to come help, but he had a mishap in Gym class the other day and won't be able to do any heavy lifting.

See Sunday

Next Race.....October 10th- First race of the indoor season!

We are moving the carpet and boards from our Valleyview location into the Calvary Temple tomorrow afternoon. If you can help, can you please meet out at the Valleyview track at 4:00 pm. The move had to be cancelled on Sunday due to access. David and I will be there on Monday at 4:00 but we are desperate for help.

Thanks......

Hey just wondering what page or site you guy's schedule is on and the classes. Also wondering if your going to have a novice class or a stock 4wd touring class. 1 more thing does anyone have any onroad cars for sale kinda looking for a pro 2 anyway post here and the price.

[FIVE 7]

Hey there "BC_R/C_Racer"......Our first race of the indoor season will be October 10th, next Sunday. I can email you a schedule if you like but I will have hard copies available at the first race. We will be running either a Stock or Novice class or both, depending on who and the ability of the drivers who show up to race for that particular race day. Not trying to sound to complicated but we have a few more new racers just starting out and want it to be fair for them. I guess we will have to see after the first couple of race dates how things work out but we will definetly fit you in somewhere for sure. Other classes will be Touring Mod, Touring 19 Turn and Pro-10 (Pan Car). The Touring 19 Turn Class is new this year and looks to be a great new class to run. Doug Martin is organizing a series race for this class with points and rules etc. The Pro-10 Series is a 1/10th scale, Pan Car Series that we have been running here in Kamloops for about 4 years now and always proves to be a fun and competitive race series.

As for vehicles for sale, just ask around like you did here or maybe talk to Ren (Teamanager) to see if he can help you.

Hope to see you out at the races real soon.....

We have a few specials on right now....IN STOCK Losi XXX-S at 50% off, and TC3's in stock at 25% off. No rain checks, no additional discounts, no refunds. I also have a good used Schumacher Axis 2 (ex-Giuseppe) at $100 even.

Boards, Carpet, Corner Dots and Computer Equipement have all been moved up to the Calvary Temple. Thanks to David, his son Brandon and Jason Melnyk for their help. Would be nice to try and get the carpet cleaned and maybe a little work on the boards by Sunday but I figure that's pretty much NOT going to happen. Oh well......

[dougmartin]

Well maybe we should make the race day a clean carpet and get the boards ready day. These things need to get done before the racing starts. JMO.

If this gets done maybe we'll have time to run a few packs threw our cars.

[racerb]

sorry I couldn't help I had to work my shift started at 4......and I am probably not going to be able to race but i could maybe sneek away for a few hours and help get the carpet clean and repair some boards....I have dinner on sunday so I was told it not a very good idea to go racing

[teamanager]

I hope to be out racing, with both R.J. and Ken on Sunday - we've persuaded the powers that be to have our dinner on Monday, and we're trying to get the rally car done before Sunday.

I think this'll make the first time in at least a couple of years that I may be able to make the first race date of the indoor season ! This assumes we are racing.....

How many people DO plan to be out racing this weekend ?

[FIVE 7]

Oh we will be racing....if not, doing some much needed work/clean-up on the boards and carpet. We can all work together like a big happy family...remember those days????

[teamanager]

"One big happy family"...???? I don't remember ever achieving that ! All the same, I have a National Championship rally the following weekend, and I have used up probably all the credit I'm ever likely to have with the powers that be to ensure we are there to bolster the number of racers for our first event at the new facility. So we'd better be racing

[RL Junior]

Well, Thanksgiving dinner is on Sunday at my house, and we are having relatives from out of town, so I will not be racing Sunday.

[dougmartin]

Hey all.

Unfortunately I won't be racing this Sunday. My Xray stuff won't be here till the 15th and I have Thanksgiving dinner at my parents in Ashcroft.

I'll see you all at the next race.

Doug
