Only thing is its pretty heavy.

I wouldn't take it to the track because I'm going to be there with this. I'd hate for you to pay to come in last. J/K lol I am 80% sure I can get a ride out there tomorrow.

Well it diden't take long to make up my mind, broke the pull-start LOL

I guess it will just be the truggy.

Your truck was scared. LOL

Let's hope there isn't that many people at the track tomorrow because of today, but enough to make a class. I might stand a chance then.

I'm so mad, I can't get my XXX-NT fixed either. I always like to bring two trucks.

RCDad, Truggy? What truggy? The more the merrier!

I know this a late post, but goodluck to all the racers today!!!!Represent Chitown R/C!!!! I wish I had my T4 in working order so I would be out there too. But still best of luck guys!!!

im going to be at the track tomorow and was wondering if anyone would like to be my pitman? i will be running mt so if you are running a different class i could pit for you also. thanks in advance

Ill pit for you. In exchange, Ill need you to marshal for me. Oh I guess I should mention Ill be running 3 classes.
If you really need one Ill be happy to help you out if I can.

I'm running UMT so I'd be happy to help anyone out in a different class. However, I doubt I'll be staying till the last race.

Shhhh. Say stuf like that and UMT will be the last race

I think I am going to need a pitman. Anyone know how long the qualifiers and mains are?

Last Sunday there were three, five minute qualifers. 15 Min A main. 10 Min B main. 5 Min C main

Pitmen are all over. There the ones standing around the track with thier hands in thier pockets

Thanks.

lol

I don't think I am going to make it out to this one. As much as I would love too... after getting home after 3:00 from the trophy race I just cant swing the turnaround drive. It would take me another 45 minutes of gas, the rest of my last body that is barely hangin on, and countless other expenses that I am just going to save for a new motor and steering servo. Good luck guys. I freed up an A-main spot for you know. Hehehe...

I only went for the three hours of practice but both my kids and I had such a good time. I tell you, Spectrum makes things soo much easier. I met a couple people there I knew and tried to help (usually with my blow dryer) wherever I could. I had some wicked steering problems with the truggy and finnally quit fooling with it after awhile.








I could see my kids through this window

How was the turnout?? There was no way I was heading out after about 2-3 hours of sleep. And if anyone met Ryan there from St. Louis and has any way to get ahold of him please let me know. (A forum or anything...)

I met some people from St. Louis that ran 1/8 buggies. I don't know there names though.

I don't know what to compare the turnout too. There was I think 2 classes of 1/8 buggy, 1 class of truggy, 2 classes MT, and 3 gas truck cars.

Dave C took 2nd in the MT B-Main and I took 3rd in the B-Main after I had a wheel fly off on the back straight about 4 minutes into the race. I ran to the pit room and grabbed a nut and threw it on there to atleast finish.

Racing was too much fun today!!!! Had to thrash it right before the first qual heat because Ryan got SMACKED by a buggy and broke both rear arms. Got it fixed with 1 minute to spare!!

Good meeting/seeing UE Maxx, Destroymyrevo (again), Satoch, and some non Chitown guys!

ChitownracerLST and his buddy were flying those big trucks in MT.

Had a blast and learned a lot! Ryan gets the radio next time!

Kevin, where did you get those sandwiches????

Awesome fun!!!

Until next time!!!

Dave

It was funny, at one point in the BMain there were only 2 of us running...and I still couldn't gain ground on the guys sitting out!!
Bumping into the AMain was unexpected and finished 9th (I think..) I really just tried to keep it on the tires and not get tangled up with fast guys. The AMain winner had 5 laps on me... still fun !!

Did you watch the gas truck main. Only three trucks and at one point there was only 1 guy running. I think that all three of them might have broke, but I know two did for sure.

I am just glad that I had another nut for my wheel that flew off. I wasn't able to finish my first qualifier becuase of my rx plug was coming loose from on/off switch. Nothing that a band-aid couldn't fix. Only finished 3 laps in the first qualifier.

Is it just me or does it seem like 1/10th scale buggies dominate on this track?

You obviously didnt see the a-main Nitro 1/8 main lastnight

That had to be a joke. Only 3 and yes I broke, darn rod ends. But yes my awsome speed with that Losi might have some believe they are flying around the track with the greatest of ease.

And for those drooling over my Hoagie...that was from Dominicks Fresh Foods. They even have sushi if you want. I like to stop there for cash also.

Racing was fun today. Not crowded at all. I made it home by 5:30 and was able to run 3 classes.
Had a little problem at the begining of the buggy main. My awsome pit man set my buggy down before I found a spot to stand and the end result was a Mayhem smacking the wall pretty hard. Started back up and ran a pretty good race. Finished and examined the carnage. Tweeked the chassis and header, busted the front bumper and cracked the tank. Oh well. Thats what I get for using and inexperianced pit man. Bobbo just needs more time at the track and he'll figure it out, I hope.

Jacked the chassis! That sucks
