For the rental fee, and you replace broken parts...

Understanding my situation and few others, is that we run outdoor in the summer. Mostly because of the track size due to 1/8 scale. I know that RCHR doesn't have the room for such a track but that could possibly be the difference of slow times in the summer. If you could possibly make the outdoor track larger to accommadate these vehicles, things might be different. Whether you run 1/8, say on Thurs. nights or some other night to try to get the business there. Or possibly rent the space next to you, tear down the wall, create a larger track and also possibly run all year long. Or like LIR does in the summer with opening windows/vents. I know indoor nitro is just plain Toxic, but it's something I was just throwing out there.I know it's tough to make an educated business decision, especially in today's economy, but the savy entrepreneur's thrive. You need something game changing to make people think they are going to the Disney World of R/C tracks! I know it's easier said then done. I like racing at RCHR when timing permits. I also like racing outdoors in the summer when it's nice with my 1/8, when timing permits. This is not intended for any negative comments, just throwing out some ideas to maybe hope someone can piggyback it with something of their own to try and come together as a racing community and solve this common problem we all share.........

Default Just DO It

I have an idea....Lets all just race this Wednesday !

The reason: There will be nowhere hosting 8th scale within 50 mile radius from RCHR, on this coming wednesday.

So bring your a$$es down and stop whining. Give Mark and Alex some 4wd competition....Give 17.5 SC an A B C main, Give Mod 2WD SC an A B C main, Give John Benedict some sort of comp in Unlimtd SC, and give 2WD buggy an A B C main. (that all may be stretching it, but you know what I mean)

Found a deal on a used B44.1.

You buy and I'll drive. In 2 month's time I'll be right behind Alex and Mark.

The 2wd is ready. Motored up, smoothed out the speedo and heading up today to play with tire combos.

I'll run 17.5 SC as well (if there's enough time between heats), and NO Freddy, I don't want your GTB.

well, actually, I do, but we'll talk tomorrow.

But I think Lamar would do better with Blue Barncodes to match his papa smurf body

Just mounted up a set of those actually. Might be a bit too soft depending on how wet/dry the track is though.

No metaphors here pal. Just plain old track talk. But you actually have to be at the track to understand the talk.
