I heard the same thing happen to Blackstock when he attend his first meeting :ha:

Congrats on the new ride Barry.

Well, everybody now knows Barry will be driving an X-Ray. I'd be willing to bet that with that information alone, sales will go up!! Any takers??

Is there something I am missing about these "Team Meetings"? :weird:

Probably the first contract to contain a "no punch" paragraph. ;)

Looks like you got your old buddy Mike back at your pit table.

Best of luck!

Barry, what about your other sponsors?

SHAKE 'N' BAKE!

Yes, It's a Team.

Congrats!!!
 

Congratulations Barry! I'm glad to hear that you're joining RC America. You have a great talent and watching you run at SoCal is always exciting even when you're driving an ill handling car. I can't wait to see you run the T2 because it's an awesome car. Not to mention, the X-ray team is awesome. Travis and Jared helped me out at the Sacramento Nats and that's what made me decide on RC America. The whole team is cool and talented. Way to go.

Its probably a reference to the hole US xray team always being baked or drunk :sneaky:

Probably not the only thing to go up! Someone needs to pay for these salaries...Just asked your local shop how many times their prices have gone up and how their margins have shrunk :confused: hope Barry gets the updated parts for vegas :blush:

Too bad you won't have a chance at the KO Hater

Naaahhhh, I don't drive an XRay anymore....LOL

Just kiddin Good luck with your new toys

No you're not :ha:

There is a hole X-ray team, they dig little holes or something? Just trying to get the whole picture.

Props to Baker time to rip it up!

Ha Ha I get that one. :lol:

Congratulations Barry :)

Well Baker, I called it! Congrats!! I don't feel like a sheep now. :D You must go with the best car and now it will only get better!

I can't wait to get some of your setups for the T2. They worked well for me in the past.

Good luck and hope to get you in Calgary soon! :)

Sorry, my english is not so good.

hehe! Team Green! Good times.......good times......

I actually have a podcast from one of those meetings..........do I dare post it on the net? :eek:

Barry Beltcar! hooray!

Way to go Baker. Good luck, and I have already seen the change in you. It's really looking good for you now. :nod:

Most welcome Barry! Will be fun! Anyway; What about Power & Batteries? Trinity? Truespeed? SMC? Orion? LRP? etc. Don´t let us stay up for another night :lol:

I have a feeling Barry will go for Orion power! Then he and Derek can wind motors while watching the Lakers game :lol:

Was really funny to read the last 5 frickin' pages of this thread! :)

Congrats and good luck Barry - all the best.

Barry;
Congradulations on the new XRay deal. I sincerely hope it all works out real good for you. Hope your pending motor/battery package is as leading-edge as XRay's cars are. Thanks for the call yesterday - much appreciated.

A lot of guys have been wishing you good luck here on rctech. Roger Penske has his own rather interesting definition of "luck". The Roger says luck is:"where preparation meets opportunity". Barry, after talking to you I get the feeling that you'll be creating some new luck for yourself as you continue to make good choices - in this new chapter of your career.

All the best! ;) - Dale - PROTOform

I would like to thank everyone for all of their support.........

I cant wait to start racing with the XRAY T2 ...I know with all the support from the team and the desire to have fun racing again, this year is going to be awesome...

Now I just have to finalize a power plant deal and we off to the races....

Once again thanks for all the support from everyone out there...I cant beleive that an announcement could have been as huge as it was on the net..

See everyone at the races,

Barry Baker....Team RC America!....YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Barry !

Dale I really like what you said.

Good Luck to both of you.

Congrats on the new ride Barry! I can see you will be back racing gas,which you have always done very well with.

Best of luck,

Mark Adams

Congrats to my new teammate Mr. Barry Baker. I look forward to working with the Fabulous one for many years. It will be surely be a lot of fun in the RC America pits with the current line up. Someone is sure to lose a lot of money flipping quarters. :D Vegas is going to be a lot of fun..!


oh, and Team Dremel, who really cares about team meetings?

barry backer joins rc america
 

hi all:congrats barry on your new ride with x-ray no more excuses now :ha: :ha: :ha: j/k.so now that we know what your new ride is what motor and battery combo will you be using?thanks and good luck racing the rest of '06 and beyond. :cool:

Congrats Barry! Best of luck with the new rides!


Also, as for power plant I hope he joins the Team at Peak/Orion, but my guess is that he reunited with Deiter(sp?) at TrueSpeed....

I still think he may choose Trinity for motors and batteries. Barry just needs to be sure his compensation includes Laker tickets.

Barry and Team Xray - Congrats B - I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANY EXUSES WHEN YOU RACE FOAM TIRES NOW!!!....lol... See ya in Vegas!! :sneaky:

now cant wait to see barry baker new avatar hehe!!

Later!!

Awh good for you Barry! I'm happy for ya :) What the hell happened to that phone call by the way?!?!

Now tell us whom your using for batteries and motors..LOL I bet there's a O involved..LOL

Best of luck Barry and hope to see ya winning again soon... :cool:

Congrats!!!! Barry, on your new ride, good luck for you
