MX_KEVIN Wrote:I had mine until Sunday when I let Matts little nephew Marky pit for me in the truggy B main. I ran threw the drill with him a few times except I forgot to tell him to keep that damn thing in his pocket. Oh well, he did a great job and I cant blame him for setting it down some where. Kid Dynomite and I could both see the nervousness in his face before the start of that race and im glad he got to be part of the whole thing. He even asked if he could help marshall afterward. Im sure knowone minded him helping out in the buggy B. Those guys drive pretty well and didnt need to mant marshalls anyway....
yeah, then i guess it wasnt yours, cu it was there on saturday also

rocco, he was gonig off the back straight aways jump and in mid air hs battery pack wire got cut, so the servo was left at full throttle, it swerved towards the tubes, hit the tubes and landed on its wheels reving full speed and the guy that was like 5 feet away was too scared to get it I guess, so i was like 20 or so feet away and i ran out to it and shut it off right away, that thing seemed like it was gonig to explode, never seen tires that thin.....lol
That was my one thing..... I would pounce on any runaway. I think in my head I did it because I hoped if I had a runaway someone would do the same thing. (Thank you Sonny for grabbing my Revo runaway back in the day.
) I still have a scar on my right hand from one of the runaways. Good times.

Dave, some guy Perry was taking video footage. He's got mine and Brian's info. If he sends the raw footage Brian will make a cool video like he did for the Race for the Cure.

on the marshalling thing i absolutely cannot stand when a guy grabs it by the wing in one hand and puts his hand under the chassis, a couple guys i see do it, it takes everything for me not to just pin it, i dont want no hands by my fly wheel lol
2006 Illinois Nitro Championships - satoch - 12-04-2006
Yeah, we still have the Cure race video. Thing is it only focuses on each of us, probably not something many would care to see, but the editing, tunes, and camera work are first rate.

You were on your lid quite a bit, I can see how that would be a concern. :eek:
2006 Illinois Nitro Championships - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 12-04-2006
nose and wing, or the two side tires if its the fastest

well I grab it by the tires, and i guess that dont work to well, i try the wing, but thats not the fastest
2006 Illinois Nitro Championships - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 12-04-2006
if i grab it by the tires and get buzzed a little and the guy ends up on his lid again thats the drivers fault, if the guy wants to be marshalled fast stay off the gas when i grab the wheels lol
2006 Illinois Nitro Championships - rocco79 - 12-04-2006
marshalling by the tires is asking to get hurt... I do it somtimes just because i try and "bobbo" when i marshall... I try and flip people as fast as i possibly can.
My new thing is grabbing the truck by the non pipe side and flipping it asap
2006 Illinois Nitro Championships - chickenfarmer3 - 12-04-2006
i just try to marshall people like i want to be marshalled
2006 Illinois Nitro Championships - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 12-04-2006
ill never forget that shit chad, two guys standing with their hands in their pockets and chads running around with a knee brace on and no jacket puting them to shame! LOL
2006 Illinois Nitro Championships - HAGASAN - 12-04-2006
Anything is better than the "Drimel Style", walking over with your hands in your pockets and a fag in your mouth puffing away and just kicking the car over.
Thrasher thanks for marshalling for me and for Joe Laws, he told me to tell you thanks again. You could make alot of money at these big races for marshalling duties or score some tires, good thing you aint lazy like ponch, You took the money. Thanks kid.
2006 Illinois Nitro Championships - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 12-04-2006

I qualified badly true. But I lead my whole race until I got hacked by lapped traffic and only had 3 shocks. Even then I only lost my first place by .580 secs. Oh, and had 17 laps just like the next 2 races. I just wish I could've bumped up.
That's not the point Mike. I watched all of the races very closely and I noticed that your vehicles were having a very hard time out there. I also noticed that you spent a lot of time out of control or on your lid. I'm not going to comment further but it's obvious that your a great driver trying to compensate for bad vehicles. Just get a Losi 8 and be done with it...
