9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-23-2005
We'll have to go for distance instead of height I guess
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-23-2005
Heh, think about stacking them ontop of my green box? Or a chair and putting on a show!?
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-23-2005
You'll have to show me what you mean. How wide is it, I'm terrible at hitting narrow ramps.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-23-2005
Yeah, me too. Do you have any other tires for your savvy that I could use? My friend has my bow-ties right now and the stock 25 tires aren't that good for stability.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-23-2005
All I've got are what came on it.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-23-2005
Ok then.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-23-2005
I've really put like zero money into the truck. That's why I bought a Savage. I've had maxx trucks that took hundreds invested just to get them ready for anything.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-23-2005
Yeah, hey. Why don't you meet me at the Mad Dash 05 tommrow? It'd be fun.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-23-2005
My kids have bowling leagues tomorrow and then I'll spend the rest of the day getting ready for Sunday.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-23-2005
Oh, well I just figured out that I cant go to the friggin Mad Dash, but I still can go to the race on sunday.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-23-2005
Also, are you bringing me a chair, or will I?
I'll also scope out a table, we may have a bit bigger one.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-23-2005
Found a table, I just have to make sure it fits in the truck.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-24-2005
I'll bring all my chairs (5), and their pretty comfy.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-24-2005
ok, cool.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-24-2005
Hey you have a hole bore right? Please bring it tomorrow. Also, let me know if your going to bring your larger table, I'll leave mine at home.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-24-2005
What's a hole bore?
You mean the thing that made the nice round airholes on my rs4?
All I did for that was trace a rim with sharpie onto the windshield and cut it out with body scissors. If you want though, I can bring a spare rim and body scissors.
I'll check in a little bit to see if the table will fit. I'll let you know.
Thankfully today I got some alu. clutch shoes for the savvy, I'll get to see how they work tommrow! =)
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-24-2005
Oh, I thought you bore that hole, can't remember now. Let me know on the table. You'll like the aluminum shoes, in my case it was my only way of running the truck without melting the SG.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-24-2005
Ok, we're taking the F150 tommrow, so I'm all good for the table. It'll take up the front of the tent, and we can keep our stuff up there so we'll look like pros.
Are your wife and kids coming tommrow too?
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-25-2005
My wife definitely not. 8 hours is just too long for them to be sitting out there.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-25-2005
Ok. So we're still on for today as far as we know, no rain delays?

Walt says it's on for today.
Personally I'm gonna take a pass, it's a $100 day when we race Tinley and the streets and sidewalks over here are wet so I'm guessing more rain is due before the end of the race today.
Darn.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-25-2005
Ok, unofficially we took home the 2nd and 3rd place b-mains! Officially, we took home overall first and second in off-road bashing

I had a good time despite the fact that I was soaked, everything got wet, and my cars spent the entire time in the back seat of the 1:1 car.
I wish I'd of had some video of the jumps I did or just the Savage going through some of the deep puddles we ploughed through.
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - chicagokenji - 09-25-2005
sorry man. Does that mean next sunday is the official last race?
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - RCDad - 09-25-2005
Nope, that's it for Tinley. Walt had a final raffle and got rid of all the prizes. My son wanted a banner for some reason so I got an Airtronics banner for him lol
9/25 Tinley's Final Race - Ponch - 09-25-2005
Heh, I'm still soaked, and it's a few hours later.
NO clue what happened to my savvy, haven't checked it out yet.
