Thumbs up 2nd Visit to LHR on Sunday - 01-09-2006, 08:45 AM

Well I met Mr. Tune and Tex.....where were the rest of you out there to introduce yourselfs to me. J \k

Anyway I was much happier this time around and it was as I expected it to be.
Very busy and a long ass day. I still had issues with my buggy but I will get that worked out real soon.
This time there were some ppl who aknowleged me there and talked to me outside the two from above---dunno any names but just shot the breeze and a lot of BS'ing.
I sat behind SLIM for some who did not know where I was or what I looked like.

Things did go much smoother and I had no issues getting out there and getting some practice times in.
I still finished in the bottom pretty much all around but I am still getting my truggy the way I want it to feel and act when I drive.
I marshalled several times but in the end I couldn't do it anymore---knee was killing me something awful.
Gosh some of you guys are nuts out there---LOL

Got a chance to talk a bit more with Bernie---didn't have that last time---I can tell you this race day once again there were more pple than he expected there to be.


Anyway--A plug here----I think it was Mr Tune had a glow starter walk or was picked up by mistake at the end of the day--- so if any of you know where it is ---get with him on it please


Bottom line (a thumbs up animation here--would be nice to create one)

I looked around but I did not recognize anyone, only person I may have would be Chris. My legs are sore today from crouching down to turn trucks over

Oh and I also plan on engraving my name on as much of my stuff as I can.
This is the 2nd one that I heard a glow starter vanished.

From the way some things were ---there was a lot of stuff just floating around out there---even my stuff got moved around a bit.


Pretty sad to say this happens---like not even being able to leave your front door unlocked any more these days.
This is why I also try my best to keep my stuff put away as much as possible.

I am sure it was unintentional.

Think of the amounts of money just sitting there, ie trucks radios, tool etc. So I highly doubt if someone intentionally took your ignitor. Since there is only a handful of ignitors out there, youwill usually have a bunch of the same kind at the track. It is very easily to pick up someone elses on accident and not realize it until later on.

Thinkof the stuff people leave l;ying in the pits when they are racing....

But yes it is good to mark your items always, I usually put a large name sticker on my ignitors, this way the sticker is easy to see and people will know not to accidently grab it.

I hope you get it back.

It is amazing the level of trust at these RC events. Literally, thousands of dollars is lying around and I've yet to hear of anything stolen.
