why you lookin' at dude's ass Chris?

j/k

LOL!! I think he left a load in his pants j/k. There was some really good racing on sunday especialy in 1/10th scale wow that was awesome to watch. Sonny oh!, Joe Torres, and Mike (strike yo azz out) were all laying it down on sunday as well.

So what's the deal with onroad marshalls and chairs? Do those cars never need help???

Basicly no

sunday was my first time racing. I had a good time. I just bought an old gs storm 1/8 scale buggya few weeks ago. we practiced thursday night and then I raced sunday. I got 7th in the C main. I have to work on my consistency and i have to setup the buggy and get some swaybars but it was a fun time. the only thing that really bothered me and would turn me away from doing this consistently is how long it takes. I dont understand why that cant do maybe like two or three classes at a time instead of all of them at once. Say onroad racing starts at 10am there done by twelve completely because there wasnt that many classes.
then maybe like offroad 10th scale and monster trucks and truggys run heats then mains till whenever they need
then 1/8 scale buggys after that all together.
then instead of getting to the track at 9 or 10 and not getting home until dark, i could get there early afternoon and get home at dark. does anyone agree?

It's not like that all the time, i think that was the biggest turn out since indoor season.

You'll appreciate the time between heats when something breaks and you have to tear apart your truck and put it back together while you stress about it. Been there, done that.

well 12 hours at the r/c track was a loong day. Id rather loose a half hour inbetween rounds and go home earlyer to be honest but thats just me.

i personally like be stressed and having to fix things....i work the best that way..i hate having time to work on my stuff, that makes me lazy

like the saturday before the race, get dustd was breaking in his new motor at 3 am....

lol We didnt stop working on the buggys until 4:30 am and left for the track at 8a.m. thursday at practice i was the one that broke a rod in a picco because of a runaway.

I agree 12 hours is too long.

You have PM -Tex

+1, my rear diff stripped and I had enough time to fix it and shim it properly (meaning sit there and have mike czech shim it lol thanks again mike) and not miss a heat.

Nice pics slim. I forgot my camera again lol...

Thanks to MikeL for free the komodo 2's!!! These hook!

Free stuff?? Man I gotta get to the track.

Yeah I know right? Tires were flying out left and right yesterday....

traxxas thrasher got 2 sets of buggy tires...1 set k2's, 1 set unknown
honda grabbed a set of crimes on wabashes and threw them in his buggy for sale box and upped the price $100 lol
slim got a set of on-road foams..
I got some k2's.

lol, wait until winter hits and indoor season is in full swing. I think there was around 70 entries yesterday. Last winter there were 100+ entries regularly on sundays.

The times an issue with me too. That's why I regularly ran my 3 Quals and bailed during the indoor season.
Mike- You never ran a 60 MPH on road missle, have you? The way you drive, you wouldn't finish a lap!
