yeah, I understand what you are saying pete... heck, I haven't even driven on the track yet!
but it looks great as it is! Sometimes it's just fun to dream
I might try and convince my dad (and my brother too if he wants to come) to come check out the track this saturday when he picks me up from school! (going home, so I won't be back for a while
)
If he can bring my Slash up, my Hacker came in today, so I now have a "normal" sized motor! haha Maybe I can toss it out for a bit of practice!
EDIT: nope... leaving on Friday now... I'll try and make it up for a weekend over break once my truck is race-worthy!
if you guys ever need help with anything, give me a holler, I'll be more than glad to take a trip up here!

hey Herb, hows it going. We wanted to try the track out, just got home here in Salem, only a 48 minute ride. Nice track, CJ sometimes has to work on thursday nights, so this works out for us too. We`re going to take turns depending on his work schedule. To bad we missed you. Maybe next time. Take it easy and we`ll see ya soon.

Layout: awesome
Layout Ideas: frequently horrible and should be dismissed at will
consider it the pea-nut gallery and take from it ideas that sound good to you, dismiss the rest and know we just have fun tossing out the ideas. current layout is a blast and challenges every level of driver.
Layout changes: 3 to 4 months is awesome. aggressive even, perhaps. I like the motto 'right tool for the job'. In this case, the bobcat from the red barn rents for $165 a day + gas. My knees are made of screws, plastic and someone elses ligements, so my personal labor ability is a bit limited..... However, I don't mind talking to strangers and I think that if we can generate some funds to cover the bobcat for a couple days and maybe some food for a work force..... I'm in to help where I can
crossovers are very tricky. wall corners are cool, but for the back room, it would have to be carpet/rubber/astro-turf/something with a wood frame support....... so probably banked corners off the cement :-) but, as time goes on, it would add another demension.
end of the day, just really enjoy turning laps up there.
Many thanks to the Maximus Crew.
Smyka,,,,,, miss u,,,, and your glue

Looking forward to tomorrow night... should be a good crowd.... and I am only running 2 classes (I promise) I ran 4 last week and yea it was fun... but I need to get better at 4WD and 2WD Mod... just tough sometimes driving them both well in the same day.... My throttle finger gets so confused!!
Thats it.... Im switching back to sticks!!
See you all tomorrow night!

Smyka and I have a....... 'sticky' history but there are few I would prefer to see at the track more than him. 
I'll be flying in from Alaska on the 29th.... so I 'might' make the 31th.... but, will probably see you in Jan...... don't worry, I won't let anyone else play with the ball gag...

Hopefully I'll be up with Hypn0t1q79 this weekend too!
I WANT to race, but I think I will just be practicing this time 'round
I only have 2 LiPo's, and I think that might be hard to run all day on only 2 batteries! I'll be ordering 2 more soon, probably tomorrow... and Bear said he had a cheap one
And hey, you can borrow my old duct-taped stock body if it comes down to it
I just have to do a bit of soldering, and tweaking, and I'll be all set for stock SC raci-uuh... practicing action! haha

Yeah, it's also because I'm trying to save my money to make sure I have enough to get all my trucks in tip-top shape by the end of winter. (College + no job to pay for personal expenses + RC addiction = a VERY tight budget)
I have $300 from the holidays, that's it, no more, and no less. I've already spent $100 on batteries, a motor, and tires. I still need to spend another $75 to get my DF-03 in running order, and my Slash needs a new transmission case, and better drive shafts if the budget allows.
I will be racing eventually, but just not this weekend...
who knows, maybe I'll change my mind between then and now.

I sure hope so!
I've got nothing better to do on new years, and I'm really thinkin' I'm going to be in the mood to "race" full speed into the new year! haha.
that would be fun to all hang around and throw a sweet new-years party, but I'm guessing other people have things to do and places to be, unlike me
And my brother might be coming up too! he's got an Emaxx, so he'd just be practicing.
He also has an awesome HD camera (NOT just a handycam!), and he is a videographer at heart (whereas I'm an engineer/RC freak) so he'll probably be taking some awesome video of the racing (I'm going to assume it would be okay?) there isn't much about Maximus out on Youtube, so if we could get a nice video or two up there, that would be great!
EDIT: scratch that! My brothers friend is also coming!... so be prepared for double-trouble Emaxxes at some point haha
