How about 1:1 vs 1:8 ?

You in your car and me w/ my trug? lol too bad I can't make it, I would love to see the looks on peoples faces when you got smoked by an r/c car

Not only does he sell junk but he repairs cars as well and ive seen a few of them that seem really fishy. Like c clips in a transmission, diffs that never got a drop of oil or grease. I dont even wanna get into what I hear about his drag race events. Funniest thing I heard was people having a channel checker and people turning on there radio's of the people drag racing at the moment and letting there buddy get the win.

Dont get me wrong Geno is a nice guy to talk to. Just ripping people off with junk and doing some really shady repairs turns me away. Thats why I chose to permanently disband from him and his stuff. And everybody that goes to the drag races that are locals by me can attest to this as well because anytime we get together everybody has a new story of how Geno did something like the stuff mentioned above.
These are some pretty serious allegations.

Are you just playing a joke on the guy here?

Did you also say later in the thread that you are going to this race, or did I misread ?

A guy turns on radios intentionally at races. That's total BS.

If i knew an adult did that to me or worse to one of my kids....intentionally, I'd literally put my foot up his ass, head over and do some major cash kind of damage to that guy's gear, and taunt him till he cried, left the area or threw the first punch.....

I find it hard to believe you post the guy's misdeads, then say you'd consider showing up at his venue.

Unless someone else steps in to refute what you said, there ain't no way I'm gonna take my kids to this event. Why risk having my stuff broken or worse having my kids see Dad get angry and then getting medieval on some asswipe.

Its defintly happened in the past im 100% sure on it. What goes on now I couldnt tell ya. I dont know if he did it or one of his buddies but he definatly didnt do anything about it from what im told. They didnt do anything but turn on the radio and make you lose throttle for a second or 2 and if somebody said something they said its a glitch. Totally bullsh!t if you ask me. Besides I heard they bet some pretty big money at his saturday night grudge races. Im talking like hundreds of dollars. I wouldnt be suprised if it got up to 1,000 dollars for people betting on each other.

I definatly have no need to associate with him and consider being labeled as somebody who will screw you in this hobby. Everybody knows it but whats actually brought up when everybody is around I dont know because I dont attend any of his stuff. Like I said before tho if people from here are going il probly go to hang out with them otherwise I wont go. Nothing but a bunch of freaking whinning babies that race anyway. If they lose its the end of the world for them and everybody around them. You never hear the end of the complaining. Races from 2 years ago are brought up all the time to add on to the never ending complaining. On second thought screw them, im not going. Im gonna stop typing now because I was about to post some really vulgar stuff untill I thought about it.

Of course you would pull out first. (Heck in just about any RC you would pull out first) I would be able to track it down in no time though.

And I agree with Rocco, Pinks is gay. In a fair race he would take my GTI in a second so I don't see how it's fair in Pinks to give the slower car such a chance. If I wanted to go on the show I would just hand the keys to rocco and save the gas money....

I like doing small races for fun. Auto Cross is where it's at.

Wow Mich, I think Geno is cool from all the occasions I've hung with him. He didn't seem shady at all.

I think before anyone prejudges Geno we should get someone in here that can back Mich up. That's only fair.

tex you know I wouldnt say stuff like this if I wasnt sure. And dont forget I live 2 minutes from the hobby shop and I know everybody that goes there and hangs with Geno so I hear stories like this all day long when I see these people. Il see if I can get some of those people to register here. And tex, like I said in my first post he's a cool guy if your just talking to him. Once you know how he works it all starts to come out.
