sh1nn3r, I was wondering where you were. It sucks to break or have problems when it's time to race, especially after a long wait. I've had it happen on many occasions. Very frustrating.
dave, the MT main was the last race. We finished just after 8pm.
Thanks John! So just a half day at the track (8am-8pm). And with 12 entries did all 12 run at the same time for qualifying during the heats. And how many went to the Main?
Sorry for all the ????
I remember my first race, I walked to my area with the transponder in my hand and asked, "Where the heck to I put this?"
No half a day for me, lol. With racing starting at 11am, I didn't even bother coming that early. I came around 9:45ish.
There were more MT's at the beginning. Around 14 or 15 I think, so during qualifying we were split into 2 races. For the main, there was only 10 or 11 of us left, so we all got put into 1 main.
With the days lasting that long I wonder if they should cut down the number of qualifiers?

Bio, I'm the guy who sold Dan the Cen for his daughter, I forgot you were coming with him, or I would have said hello also.
yeah, that was me with tires lol, that was like 130-135$ of stuff just laying there and bernies son found them, thank god someone didnt just pick them up!
Hey I found a glow plug starter under the starting table today when I was cleaning :joy:
What color is it bernie? If it's blue and the sub c kind, it might be mine

Hold on to it, I'm coming to practice on wednesday.
Darnit. Oh well. I'm making a pit stop at Al's tomorrow for a new ignitor. One of those twist lock ones

RCDad, did you leave before the races started Sunday? I may have been sitting next to you. I kinda recall a guy with his son next to me with a truck. I thought I might have seen "RCDad" written across the body, but I was too busy wrenching. I planned on introducing myself later, but next thing I knew, the mystery man and his son were gone.
It's not a bad idea getting some t-shirts or stickers made. I have two t-shirt shops locally that I deal with for different work-related projects. I also have a graphics guy who can do stickers. He usually gives me a pretty good deal on them. The stickers would probably be "printed" on vinyl. The ink holds up pretty decent depending on where you put the stickers. I haven't done a fuel test yet to see how they hold up, but they can't be any worse than some of the major manufacturers' promotional stickers that they include with their product sometimes. I had one of my paint company logos on my wing for the last year, and never had a problem with it. Once a design/logo is agreed to, I'd be willing to head up the sticker project. I can also run the design past my t-shirt shops and get pricing, along with whoever else has contacts, and we can go from there.
I'm not sure who was sitting next to me, I said hi to the guy sitting across from me. During the time I was out marshalling the place really filled up. When I came back those three girls had a seperate table setup and everything.
I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my boys, bring some extra chairs and a table. I'll try it once and see if they can behave.
