Default Memories

This is how it all started Memories........My wife gave this kit to me for my birthday. I had found some old pictures of my original Hornet and thought it would be fun to build one again.

I haven't made it to the track to take any pictures yet but so far it looks like the weather is going to be great for anyone making the trip from Denver

Default Show some support

I'll probably get flamed for this but here it goes.

I understand that there are some upset racers that left early the other day after letting the new track get the best of them. I'm not so upset that some people chose to skip the main but what kills me is that there are people trash talking Andy and the track. This after Andy gave us the opportunity to choose the new lay out and asked for help to build the one we chose. I also understand that the people talking the most $#@! didn't even help build the track.

1)If you don't help build the track how can you complain about it?
2)There are plenty of tools around the track to fix any problems that there may be in the track.
3)Not all tracks are going to be easy to get around.
4)Andy gives us every opportunity to do what we want with the track, like design and build what more can he do?
5)WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A PLACE TO RACE YEAR ROUND SO LETS SHOW SOME SUPPORT AND NOT TRASH THE ONLY PLACE WE HAVE TO RACE.

I know I've only been racing here for a couple of years but from what I've heard the RC Club from the past has had a rocky history and most of the time racing was seasonal and outdoors. We now have someone in the valley willing to keep an indoor track going in this horrible economy and no one wants to support him. I can't figure that out.
