Hey guys

How early can we be there by on Saturday mornings?

olhipster1 · 08-22-2008, 07:35 AM

hey Nitro
I would think as soon as the sun comes up you can use the track but the guys usually don't spray the grape till after noon.

Hi All,
Just wanted to start putting up the notice

Hopefully end of March or beginning of April (pray to the weather gods)

We built up a good crowd last season and looking to make it better this year.

All racers welcome....Pro or Club.....
Bring your pit tables, chairs and extension cords.
Track has power.
Hobby shop can get pretty much anything you want.

Tons of places to get stuff to eat.

It's time to start planning for the new racing season to come.

olhipster1 · 03-09-2009, 06:07 PM

Just ask moderator to change/remove the year on the thread...and just make one thread for a permanent outdoor track in Easton, PA area..
but either way is good I'm not the one managing it

olhipster1 · 03-09-2009, 07:38 PM

moderator please modify/delete this thread..

this thread
<<<Trains and Lanes Onroad Racing>>>Summer 09 edition>>>

please remove the "09" from the title....

Thanks for your help.

For any concerned parties, Trains and Lanes Onroad Racing will continue on Saturdays as it has for the past few years. Any other rumors you have heard are false and should be ignored.

Now on to the new season. We have some exciting new things coming your way, including the new World GT class. We will also still be running the 13.5 rubber touring class that became popular at the end of last summer. There is the possibility of continuing the mini touring class from the indoor carpet track to the asphalt track. Keep your eyes peeled more to come.

Olhipster,
I'm with you. I can't wait to get back outside on the asphalt. I miss the grape soda sticking to the bottom of my shoes as i marshall. It will be nice to see some of the guys that didn't race inside with us this winter. Also to see some newcomers out there mixing it up.

One thing that I didn't hear was the word "NITRO". I think you guys are afraid of the "X-RAY POWER". That's alright though, I'll just have to chase that yoke around the track. Ha Ha!

Also very interested in the Worlds GT class. I'll wait to see how many people talk about getting them before I get another car. I guess they're along the same lines as the 12th scales as far as handling and setup is concerned. We will see.

Guys, get those cars dusted off and ready to go. Day one will be here before you know it.

Alvin

olhipster1 · 03-12-2009, 01:45 PM

let the trash talking BEGIN!!!!

A....Nitro is there....
we probably need to take you to the optometrist ..before season starts...

but the best of it..is....
drum roll..please....
My Yok can still beat your Xray putt putt....with my little ol'e batteries..
and before you even start....
you actually..said....

Are you refurin to my XRAY?

You guys will all be chasing losi's

olhipster1 · 03-12-2009, 06:41 PM

every weekend is a blast to watch a few of pro drivers ..A main...

and of course it's alway more fun to see Alvin break in every race.

and what's even better to have Papo try to catch me.

RCPERSONIFIED · 03-12-2009, 07:32 PM

Alright. That's it. The gloves have come off. The only time we can't catch you is when your leaving the parking lot. As far as me breaking in every race. That would mean I at least started every race. Don't just use race day as your chance to rebuild your car three times. Racing is like the lotto, you gotta get in it to win it.

I'll bring the Johnson's shampoo. They claim you won't have any more tears. Especially after gettin dust in your eyes
