Another HOT day of racing

I believe it was about 32 degrees. Oh well....not complaining, it's summer in the loops alright!

Smaller turnout today but some good racing was had by all. I realized just how much I have to stay clean and try and stay out of the ruts.....or away from the pipe for that matter, to be competitive in Stock Truck. It seemed every time I went around a corner, I was on my roof. I guess some of you guys were right.....you have to find the right groove. I also think I will try a softer shock oil. The track is sure getting rutty lately. Anyway, I will post the results soon or Ren, you can if you retained a copy of them after the last heat. Thanks guys for the extra help.

Please remember to read the latest edition of the CLUB NEWSLETTER. There is valuable info reguarding the upcomming race and other assorted info.

Work on the drivers stand is finally going to start on Monday, July 28th.

If you think you can lend a hand, please let me know. Your help would be much appreciated.

See you all on Sunday at SportMart Place parking lot. Please be there at 8:00 am so that we can get things set-up. Thanks

Yes it was a hot day. Racing was fun. Got to love the gas truck. To bad there is not more gas trucks in Kamloops. I'll see you all at the Sportmart Place on Sunday. TTYL, DOUG

racerb · 07-22-2003, 08:56 PM

a desperet plee for a servo to use in my touring car.....I really really want to run both vehicles I have (as long as greg is still willing to lend me the tires for my T3

)....so please anyone if you have a servo that you can lend me just for the sunday that would be awesome...I promise if it breaks I will either buy it or fix it.....

Greg can you just confirm that you still have those tires for me please just to make sure I have something

FIVE 7 · 07-22-2003, 09:17 PM

That would be great Greg....I will be home the next two evenings. My truck broke down twice today. Once at the track picking up all the equipement for Sunday and once on Summit drive on the way home. Finally limped it down to the shop this evening. Long day....don't want to talk about it anymore.

Blain....you can borrow my 102 this Sunday if you like. Just let me know.

TTFN,

Blain I'll see if I can find a JR250 as a backup for you too.

Greg that sounds awesome man...a extra servo wouldn't be a bad thing to have but don't put yourself through lots of trouble just for little ol me hahahaha

Brent

I have some pics we could use for the photo board thing. Some of the trophy race, clubs races, and a few of the club members racing.

I'll try and drop them off at your house today, but if I don't make it then they'll be at the Store for you to pick up on your own.

TTYL

FIVE 7 · 07-24-2003, 01:47 PM

Coooooool, thanks Jason. Wasn't sure if you had them or April had them.

Thanks,

Giuseppe · 07-24-2003, 06:38 PM

hey Brent

The club shirts from the Nationals a few years ago are at the store. They will need to be washed and there are only about 8-10 of them, mostly XL, there is one L and one M size shirt left.

They'll be there for you to grab when ever possible. and the store will be open late as it will be Games Night for the Warhammer side.

TTYL

FIVE 7 · 07-24-2003, 11:07 PM

Thanks J....for the shirts and the pictures. Did you happen to find the blue "Associated" Banner and the white "Schumacher" Banner? Last time I saw them was when you guys had the store at the end of that "mini mall" over christmas.

Thanks,

oh.....do you need a key to get into OLPH School on Saturday? I am assuming you do so I will try and get it to the store before then.
