weather channel says a 30% chance which means no rain. But as long as its not falling I'll be there.

I second the question. I finally got my Hyper 1/7 so I'll have that this friday. HUGE ass tank, 250cc and a little .21 engine make for very long run times. It looks amazing though. The Lambo body is very realistic looking.

The office manager is checking with Hamilton Partners (They own the building). I am not sure how many more days this will take.

Bad news about using my work parking lot. The company that owns and manages the building says "No". They were going to allow it at first, but later decided not to because of possible liability issues if somebody gets hurt or if there is damage to the building. Sorry...I tried.

At least you tried, too bad, not your fault. Also I will be there unless the rain is falling and not puddles everywhere. I will have a one-of-a-kind R/C out there, too bad it doesn't run but it is just an oddball to show people.


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)

Thats ok. I thought before of contacting who ever owns this lot we go to and asking for permission to run and advertise it. I think it would go much the same way. But because the police don't care I don't follow it.

Yeah, I don't think we'll draw quite the same crowd as a cruise in or Streets. So I don't think the cops will bother us. If we ask for permission we'll most likely get denied anyways unless we have liability insurance.

I could be interested in doing something like that. I've got a toy to play with on the pavement now though.

If Friday does turn to crap, I won't be able to make it Saturday, I will be in Dixon, but I will be there Friday if there are not rain/puddles.

I am hoping for Friday to dry out by evening. I really want to play in that big parking lot. I am unavailable Saturday night I think. My wife planned a dinner thing with my parents, and it is hard to ditch her later.....unless she drinks a lot and falls asleep. Unless the ground looks wet, I plan on being there. All of my stuff is charging now. The only negative is that the new truck will not be here in time. I did not want to pay the $60 for 3 day shipping from the west coast. It was FREE if I wanted ground shipping. So it will not be here until MONDAY.....DAMN!!! Sunday is also a no-go due to more shit with the in-laws in OSWEGO all afternoon. Family is getting in the way of this fun hobby.

Well I'm supposed to have a cookout saturday. But I think I can still make it. But I think its gonna be friday for sure just because it stopped raining here and dry up at night in about 2-3 hours. Then it rained again. But all in all I think it will work out fine. Check the listing and if that fails just look outside. If its not raining I'll be there. Puddles or not.
