The only reason you couldn't run with us out there (I won't be there, got other plans tonight) would be if no one else showed up!

But reading this thread it looks like there is some interested by a few other people in getting friday nights started up again. If thats the case then exchange numbers with some of the people out there so you can coordinate.

PM Whitey04 (thread starter) if you intend on going out, he started this up and is interested in getting it going.

I probably won't come out this weekend. I have work saturday morning. I'm trying to quit my saturday job, I originally took it for some extra money, but in the end I'm beginning to hate it. I've got a few more weeks. I want my saturdays back!

I am going to throw everything on charge when I wake up around 8am(don't have r/c truck inside right now) and will plan on being there tomorrow around 9pm. What is the best entrance to come in, and what area do you normally run so I don't interfere upon entering.


My R/C's:
T-maxx 2.5-front rpm a-arms, front/rear alluminum skids, pull-start, ofna failsafe, 5 cell hump pack
xmod red 1969 camaro with 6 cell conversion, stage 2 motor and body kit
xmod Red Toyota Supra-no upgrades.

xmod Silver Acura RSX-has green underglow lights, and blue LED exhaust, and body kit.-My parts car(as it is broke, and too lazy to buy part to fix it)
xmod Yellow Acura NSX-has body kit(sometimes put the RSX body on it)

Any entrance is fine as its a huge parking lot, you won't be interfering with anyones lines.

Yeah, it was nice to meet you guys. I'll be out next week with the new on-road. All broken in and stuff.

Was funny to watch all of the real cars hit the brakes as we started playing with the radar gun. And cool to know that the LSP could hit 43mph running on the rich side with some severe front toe out and positive camber. I just swapped to the top cad stuff and haven't adjusted the front end for the different angles. It DOES steer much better though!

Yeah the radar gun was fun we clocked the damn cop around 75 if I remember right. I will mostly likely be out next Friday as well.
