i'll say this from the marshal perspective: i got hit 3 times by two different cars last night while marshaling novice. not that big a deal, you guys aren't moving that damn fast. however, there was one driver who was clearly NOT in control of his vehicle, (the one who hit me twice) and this guy PINNED THE THROTTLE WHILE COMING THROUGH THE CONE, AND MYSELF. at that point, you're not on the track anymore, and the marshal will help you...hell, you drove it right up to my toes. i don't care who you are, or how much you spent on that shit...try that again, and i will step on your car and flatten it. if you think i'm kidding, try that shit again.
also, at least one of the novice guys desperately needed some tuning help last night...poor engine was about to explode! come look for us old farts, we'll be happy to help. there is only so much we can do at the track with a screwdriver, but if it can be tuned, there is someone around who can help tune it.
speaking of screwdrivers, i still haven't found mine. oh well, it was a turnigy...not an expensive one. they tried to give me a HUDY that someone found in the dirt...that's a 30 dollar screwdriver. i said it wasn't mine, because I DIDN'T PAY FOR IT. so people, if you 'find' stuff after pit lane, make at least a token effort to figure out who it belongs to.
the good book says we are our brother's keeper, after all.
i''m trying for saturday. might have to miss round one.

Apology accepted...but if you were "having issues" with your e buggy, i'd have to think it was radio related. It looked like you never let off the throttle, no matter what or WHO was in front of you. If that's the "issue" then for safety's sake, send your guidance system in for repair and don't put that car back on the track until it isn't having problems. If that's even you...bright yellow associated e buggy, j concepts stickers? I got hit with more buggies last night than I have in the past 2 years. I've hit a marshal before, and it feels awful...especially for the guy who gets hit. If that's you, and your radio gear is in working order, then slow down and pleazzzzze be aware that those are people out there, not just jumps and pvc pipe.

There was a guy last night who was having a hell of a time getting an engine to run...i hate seeing that, cuz you want everyone to have fun, and that didn't look like fun. It's not like i'm an engine guru, but I can get something running enough for a qualifier or a main, ya know?

Thanks Kenny. Yeah I'm really enjoying driving the 8th scale much more then 10th
And about drivers and marshaling another observation, not just for newbies because I've seen many of you experienced guys do this, but when a marshal goes to flip your nitro car over, hit your brake real quick. To many guys stay on the throttle and dirt gets flung into the eyes, not cool.
I hope we have a big turn out saturday, I want to run 2 classes

I'm looking over these A main scores from Novice last night. I was a little surprised to see the winner, Vinnie, had 2 laps more then me when I know this is incorrect. Then I noticed he has a 11 second lap, and a 27 second lap, a 39, when most all his other laps were 50+ seconds. This must be the same guy we saw cut across the track in the begging and kenny called him a cheater. That's really pathetic when guys cheat like that. Novice or not, nobody likes a cheater!

It may have been out all night then. I watched that car drive all night and it was like two people driving the car...one with a wheel and one with the trigger.
It's cool, bud, just check your shit. Everybody. If I don't charge my radio and my car hits somebody, or jumps the fence and tags someones mini van, i'd expect them to be pretty hot about it, too.
See you all tomorrow. I'll be wearing safety yellow.
