Kyle-Great job. I was concidering next weekend doing the rce race on Sunday and possibly going up on Saturday for practice. I think I have convinced Jenn to take Dylan to NH for the weekend. I figured Sat. would allow good practice and set up and there will be enough time Sat. night to rebuild if needed. I may even look for a Marriott property up there somewhere. Free, that is all I have to say. I will be down Tuesday, but I will talk to you tomorrow about the 8E and the RB5. I may also call you when D is in bed.

Hey Kyle great race Saturday night i have some sick action shoots i took while you were doing your thing but since im a newbie i cant post them just yet.

Cool, I can't wait to see them.

Hey Kyle what was the noise coming from your 4wd rig during you main?

I haven't taken it apart yet, but I am positive that I started strip out the rear diff gears.

ouch

Ya, but luckily it held together and i was able to finish.

Time to start working on improving the region. I'm looking forward to being your region director for 2010 and 2011.

THANKS AGAIN!!!

Congrats Ron!

Congrats Ron.....

Now, are you a Conservative Regional Director or a Liberal Regional Director, how's your health care reform for injured marshalls?? how long before the war in 4wd is stopped?? will we have social security benefits when we retire from racing??

A lot of responsibilities you now have.....

Hey guys just wanted to say Had a great time at the trophy race! you guys ran a great show! congrats too all the winners! and great job too Kyle your a good wheel! great job! Hope too see some of you at the trophy race up too RCE next weekend should be lots of fun!

1. Racers have complained about some of the adults that corner marshall too. Basically, in a no win situation like corner marshalls, where nobody is happy, your best chance is to not use them.

2. 5 minute quals, 7 minute A-Mains, 6 Minute B-mains, and 5 Minute C-mains. We ran 3 qualifing rounds of 15 heats, and I think 14 mains in 9 hours. John did each qualifing round in 2 hours like clockwork, the mains took an extra hour for track prep and raffle and longer A-mains. John did an exceptional race program and should be commended for it.

Actually, the race program started at 12:03, 3 minutes late if you really want to be picky.

last minute race entries prevented us from starting the race program early. Trust me I will never try to start the race program early again.

3. Once again, John did an exceptional job with the race program. I would be happy to entertain watching anybody else try to use the RC Scoring Pro software, its not as easy as it looks.

I hear ya Mark. John, you, Will and Hilde all did a great job. I was just bustin his chops about the computer thing. Every time he has a computer problem all I hear is ......"Mark Westerfield?! Where's Mark".......lol.
I also understand how extending the heat times would've kept us there a bit later........I woulda stayed til midnight.
I know some marshalls are slow, but at least they're racing. If there's a kid on the bucket round after round because he thinks it's fun and not because he had just previously raced......it ain't right. There were more than enough people there for proper marshalls. I tried to get the two of em to move after every one of my rounds, but they won't listen to me and I'm not gonna discipline someone else's kid.

Just my 2 cents Marko. No need to get all worked up yo. I'm a lowal RCHR guy now, no need to worry about me defecting for carpet
Ya'll must be doing something right if we get that many guys for a normal trophy race.

Hey Mark,
John did a great job, that's the way it should be from now on when we have trophy races... Keep it moving, make sure marshals are out, and track is being swept.

I thought the program ran great, really smooth and fast the whole day.

Well done to Mark, Jon and rest of the crew! The turnout was huge, but the program went quickly, I didn't hear anyone complain about the program in the pits.

See you guys at the next one.
