The racing last night was great!

Did anybody notice the Tekin tuning tips at the bottom of the RCHR home page?

My batt dumped at the end of the race tonight and I didn't have enough juice, so I got delaped, which bites big hairy monkey balls. But oh well, thats racing.

I might show up sat to race my slash.

I might even pay the highly over rated fee of 25 dollars for the month. Does that include anything?

LOL TS you nut job!

$25 pays for itself after only 3 practices a month...do the math it is worth it but for me I will probably just pay as i go because it is a little far for me.

You big liar lolz! Two Saturdays ago I WON second on the quals and AMain haha! You hack!

I'll be there good buddy for Saturday...not sure if i should shake your hand or kick your butt!

As far as racing getting serious...I know what most of you put into tune/parts/wheels/setups/everything but if the shop gets a stigma of club racers yelling at marshals or uptight drivers you probably don't want that image. All we can do is try to help each other out race day as buds as much as we can and do our best to pit/fix things on the fly without taking ourselves too seriously. That's how I roll and even if you don't agree we can both get along on the track without a problem. I just try to have fun and if something happens out of my control at the track I try even harder during practice or the next main/whatever to get even better.

Thanks for the advice Mark, I would like to try the mini slider Saturday for fun...hopefully enough other folks will bring their 1/10 or minis as well!

How much does it cost to rent/race a slider if I plan to race Slash anyway?

Let me know when you go down and practice and I'll show up and practice with yous?

I aint worried about your short bus Slash...you'll be scoping my tail lights again and again as I lap you haha!

You shouldn't worry about me good buddy...Ironman Jombo and his Slash Maximum Destruction have a target on your back...he doesn't play nice! He tried to t-bone me because I flipped him in a turn by accident! He'll cut your neck off haha!

Thanks

Had a great time racing last night guys. Great facility, good racing, everything ran really smooth - actually got out earlier than I would have thought considering we started at 8pm. Track conditions were great, driving was really good - in the classes I ran (Truck and 4wd).

Hopefully, I can come up more often and run with you guys. It was really fun getting the competitive juices flowing again.

SQ - PM Mark and John, they were talking about the video of the truck race last night - and they have the Vintage Nats video in the shop.

Carpet season is almost over at madness, so I'll be down with an abundance of 1/18ths this spring and summer.......if for nothing else then practice. Hopefully we can get a class going on Wednesdays or something.
I know a few of ya'll have 18Rs ( I seen ya'll at the mini nats so don't deny it).........I've got some dirt tires in the works for those....might be fun with the jumps.

I noticed that about a week ago. Nothing really new but good info for people who are not familar with tuning the system.

Also agree last night was great racing. Competitive and didn't see any hacking, well slash class but thats slash racing for you.

Murphy you didn't make 28 laps but you definitely looked better out there. Not sure why but it seems you did a lot better on the last layout then this one.

It was fun last night. Full heat and yet we had clean racing. Travis also did well last night and was leading the main for awhile before dropping back to 4th I think. Looking forward to doing it again next week.
