Signed up for nats too Weaszel. What a annoying site to get registered !!

Its finally friday again! Last night of this layout!!!! Lets make it a good night of racing!

Guys lets be nice! This thread is very important for Don and Oz. (You know, the people that give us a place to race!) It's a great source of information and a lot of fun. Let's not give the mods another reason to close this one. Let's watch the language and if there is a problem go see Don or Oz. Don't post it on here anonymously like a coward.

I don't know about you guys but I'm super excited for the layout change and next weeks Trophy Race!!:nod::tire:

Ang, maybe post the flyer again here so it's easily accessible.

Yeah Jay that website was horrendous! Someone should tell them that!

Good move Angelo:) :tire::tire:

The April 1st trophy race thread

Police the thread
 

From OZ and Don:

The reason we have such a good crowd of people, both public fun runners and hard core racers is not because of My wife and I its because the people around us help to make the facility a pleasant place to come and race or more importantly spend time in an enjoyable environment.

Its a shame we have one individual on a mission to deter people from coming to our track or speak poorly abiout my wife or myself. The only way to combat this is with the strenght of the club itself.

Basically its you that make this place a great place. Oz and I put up a nice track and nice facility. It's no longer just nice, or good, or average, ..... its great. I know this because everyone that walks through my door tells me so.

From now on I will police the thread to make sure anyone using bad language, or entering a dialgue that is not "G" rated will be reported to the moderater and the proper actions will be taken. Not sure what they are at this point but I'm waiting to ehre back from the maderator to discuss a new approach to watching our thread.

This is our thread, our place. We all need to protect it. It's easy to get behind a keyboard and talk poorly like an inmature little brat. Its show real character and maturity when you voice your concerns directly. In the future if anyone has a concern about the facility or my staff please send me a PM or call me directly. I will address your concerns quickly and diligently to make sure everyone is satisfied with the treatment and professionalism they receive at IRH.

With that said, Tonight is PIZZA night. Lets go beat the heck out of this layout tonight and have some good ole fun.

FYI, Mazzarra is out of his mind. This guys has vision. His additions to the approved layout are absolutely over the top. You guys have no idea what you are in for next week. He's combined 1/8 scale elevations changes and timed jumps into a 1/10 scale track.

A Steve Plakis design, scaled to perfection by Tom Licata, turned insane by Anthony Mazzarra, and adding new traction crazed Dirt (30) tons, IRH owned ride on roller to smooth the track to perfection, 2 commercial roto tillers to guarantee consistancy, Dave Antos and Monster Joe on the Bobcats, yes two Bobcats ( I think Antos was born in the seat of a Bobcat, the man's insane) and lots of help from our club members at the direction of Mazzarra shaping to perfection an fast, technical layout.

Stay tuned boys.... meeting with WBAB and WBLI at 2pm today. They are covering the race on April 1st. Lots of giveaways and some radio ads during this week leading up to the race. News 12 Long Island will meet with me on Monday and we may even be on TV next week. Weazel get your mop out, the bathrooms need cleaning.

See you all tonight, racing should be a blast. Fraser, Al, Miga. I bought you guys a new cooler. LOL

Don

my apologies
 

my apologies for the poor words I had with that guy on the thread I could not cnt myself.

We all know who it is, let the moderators do their job. Just be careful, you might get sued! Lol

Looks to be Shaping up to be a great April 1 race. Really looking forward to it.

George your the best
 

Couldn't have put it better myself.

George need some more Devils spit. Make sure you come packin.


Don

Hey don, we are waiting on a large order of bottles. We were hoping to have them by today but its not gonna happen. It WILL be here intime for the trophy race though.

Haha. Little jerk. It can only be one person

Found it!!!
 

Well, they weren't kidding about closing the thread. I'm still out of the country and I hate to miss the last race with this layout!!! I finally learned how to jump in the back!!!

See you guys next week!

Gyys I'm selling a losi 8 2.0. Car is in mint shape. I'd hate to sell it to some chuckle head on eBay. If anyone is thinking about getting int 1/8 scale this is a great car with almost all the options. Roller $300. With nitrotec and pipe $450. I'll bring it to the track tonight if anyone wants to take a look. Otherwise I'm
Putting it on eBay Sunday.

i told vin that if he doesnt buy that off you, i will. i'll be at the track around 5:30-5:45 to pick up some stuff (im not staying for racing). if you're already there i will check it out.

im heading to my tuner right after to see what's doin and how much everything is gonna cost me, then i'll see if anything is left over for the scaler and let you know by sunday

God i want a serpent buggy and truggy so bad...in brushless ofcourse. I turned the big 30 today guys....if anyone wants to gift me a serpent car that would be great! lmao

happy birthday tony, you're officially old now!

Yo...
 

Happy birthday Tony. You should come down and have pizza and race. Perfect tOgether!

Mine came in just now... on your birthday....


Happy birthday Big T to the lil' v !!

Thanks Guys...I wish I could come...duty calls though gotta get in to work late today.

J.P....Enjoy the snake ride!...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQYVRr0EYBA

RIDE THE SNAKE!

Happy birthday. Brushless is for people who are scared of racing. Youre not scared are you?? Lol. Nitro is the way. 30-45 min races are the 💩

Angelo I should be there around 530 the latest

ever since i saw this pit stop in the vid u posted a few weeks ago, i haven't been able to stop thinking about how sick nitro is.

speaking of scared, im terrified. i think its just one of those things you gotta man up to though.

You have never seen my son pit, just asked Mazzara......:p...lol

LoL...Thanks Stavros! ;)

I had nitro cars bro I had fun with it back in 09 but I want to try 1/8 brushless...especially the s811be...that chassis look sick. I know nitro is fun my Xray buggy and truggy was dialed with my RB B9....I had like 10-15 gallons through that thing but I just like the convenience of brushless. Either way 1/8th is prob not going to happen this year anyway. Too much going on to dump coin into.

RIDE THE SNAKE!

i told you before nothing to be scared of, losi scte is just as heavy as nitro buggy, plus you got more than enough friends to help you tune
actually the amount of rc you watch on the web you prolly already know how to do it :lol:

What happen they closed the thread? As far as the nitro goes electric is cool but I feel it's not the same as nitro the sound of that little hunk of metal screaming down a 200 ft strait is wild.The tune is part of the whole experience I guess it's not for everyone

can you guys post early monday or late sunday if the track will be open on next monday

Wow! New thread huh. Nice to know that there will be no more...CRANKY PANTS...posts.

Isn't this....

....what its all about?


Thanks Don and Oz for all that you do for the hobby - Looking forward to seeing you guys soon.

Yep, that's why we call him the hibachi! :cool: :tire:

hibachi is the fastest pit guy in the east!!!

The track is usually closed on mondays right now, but I believe Don is opening this monday because of the new layout and since the trophy race is next weekend.

get the groove going on the track so it is ready by sunday April 1st.

Darn kids!
 

First things first, have to use a new Bookmark!
Tony....Happy Birthday pal!

Be out that way on Sunday for a bit....going to be popping in. Hope you guys have a blast racing tonight!!
