Can anyone guess who that is and where this pic is from? Also from year is it?

Click on the pic to see the larger version.

I was digging up some old video footage and pictures I had on my computer and stumbled across all kinds of rc related stuff. Figured it would make for good homepage material to keep it more updated.

Maybe even bring some spark back in this site.

I cant view the pictures! It says I have insufficient privliages! But I know exactly where that pick is from. I believe its a Panduit building. I know its by my house. Tinley Monster Jam 2004?

Mr. Tune · 02-23-2009, 09:08 PM

Alright, I think I found the problem. Should be fixed now.

PedeBasher8507 · 02-23-2009, 09:10 PM

Yep works fine now!

Ponch · 02-23-2009, 09:18 PM

Yep that's MikeH!!!

Ponch · 02-23-2009, 09:20 PM

I got some older stuff. Let me look.

Is that Gabe's red-bodied revo? The one with the old style CP?

OH SHIT! Hey me and my dad are in there! Sittin in the grass, I'm sitting up, my dad is laying back!

I think that was long before Gabe had a Revo. The White Jeep T-Maxx, was Gabe's. I think the Red after market bodied revo (by the boards) is Firesprinks. I think that is Michowski in the Orange shirt stepping over the boards. On the right, working on a truck, is Big Squid.

Is that at a Monster Jam event? Those big jumps at the end going into the grass seem to look familiar from a video.....

Mr. Tune · 02-24-2009, 10:23 AM

Yep, it's a monster jam. From 2004 in the tinley park area, in the bowling alley parking lot. That is mikeh in the pic. Kudos to those who were able to identify all the cars, the headless people, and people on the grassy knoll.

I'm gonna have to hit up the archives and see what else I can find to post up

Another one needs to be hosted there! Id be able to hop on my 100 and ride there!

Ponch · 02-24-2009, 05:08 PM

Hey. Who was the guy with that T-Maxx that broke in half? He was real friendly, never knew if he was on the forums or not.

Ponch · 02-24-2009, 05:11 PM

Battle @3:19 was sick lol

snakebite46 · 02-24-2009, 09:50 PM

That was a good time. i think that's my truck @ the 42-46 mark. Blue body.

firesprink281 · 02-24-2009, 10:04 PM

mine is the silver/black/teal revo. the simpler times.

Mr. Tune · 02-25-2009, 08:21 AM

I see my yellow savage making at run on the track at 1:52, cool.

mikeh · 03-07-2009, 01:24 AM

Holy cow. I can't believe I didn't see that. I recognized myself immediately. Yep thats Monster Jam 04. I got my Savage in 04. I had my Stampede on Novak BL in 03 and it still was too small. I beat that body to death. One of my favorites. My savage is a bit different now with an axial 28 and some of the Savage X updates.

mikeh · 03-07-2009, 01:38 AM

I recall that was the year we got those orange Chitown t-shirts, and that one dude wearing one turned on his mini-t radio that caused another guy to total his supermax into the brick wall from the interferance. Oh the days before spektrum...

firesprink281 · 03-07-2009, 09:40 AM

that guy was pissed!!!!

Mr. Tune · 03-07-2009, 10:05 AM

I remember that! That truck was all smashed up big time. Talk about a loss of money.
