Default johnny cool guy

I believe johnny cool guy is the person who owns a great off-road track in dfw area and has a hobby shop next to the track.

Glad to hear you are back WAP, took me a couple minutes to rermember who WAP was but it came back to me, hope to see you soon at the track.
John, I think I ordered the right silver springs this time, I had to get them direct from Trinity.

Im getting lost on the local track schedules. I thought this was an "Off" weekend at Mikes so as to not interfere with the THRC schedule?

Awww, doesnt matter anyway. I work on Saturdays.

Ah, don't cry Biff! Let's find you a new job bro. One that you can get the hours in during the week days and get the weekend's off!

I think Trophy Guy said he was quitting soon - some thing about the sheep getting lost and the cows not coming home any more.

Electric and gas club races are every weekend Saturday now that Jeff is running the races. The entry fee is only $20. now. This is a very good value for such a fine facility.

Lin
Those silver springs ought to do the trick for the Trinity Cobalt and Shock motors. My comm looked good.

And that $20 includes the covered pit table now too, right John?

Here is the link to the track web page. It has a schedule of the big events as well as the times and rules for the weekly races. Add this link to your favorites folder. Pit tables are included with your entry fee for the club races.

Jeff has been busy grinding off the bumps on the back straight. The pollen problem is much reduced already. The track should be in good condition on Saturday. Should have a good race day.

Provided the "R" stays away. Did he say when they were planning on resurfacing it?

We have a pretty good rain forcast. Only a small chance. I don't think he is doing a full resurfacing. Traction was very good before the pollen, so it may not need it yet. Just working on the back straight.

Well, the back straight is a ton better than what it used to be. In was really smooth for the Charity race. Any thing more he does is getting it like glass. VERY sweet!!

thanks 05GTO and John,

I look forward to racing. I will come and watch on the 1st and buy some tires and motors. Does anyone race x-ray if so can you share your set up? Also for the 710.
