ya it was sweet, I was in third for the first 4 minutes or so, then the numbness of my fingers kicked in and I couldnt tell if i was hitting the gas or the brake lol, why doesnt bernie have the heat on as high during racing as in practice? or was it just THAT cold out?
I was so excited to be holding Sonny off for the amount of time that I did, he only pitted once and between me and him it came down to a drag race to the line he only got me by .164 s and im runnin a vspec, i dunno how the hell he beat me with that vo1b.
My car was so damn loose in that race LOL

Man Mike, your TTR looked bad ass during your 3rd heat. Alot of peeps were making comments about it.
Sure it looked good during your other heats, but I only saw the one. =)
LHR January 15th, 2006 - rocco79 - 01-16-2006
Those 1/8 scales are sick. Amaze me everytime i see a Main like that ( only watched alittle, gettin trophys ready)
LHR January 15th, 2006 - FreeRideFrosty - 01-16-2006
I was way to tired to make it out again. Sounded like a good time though. I have noticed my hand getting cold as hell when racing too. I am thinking of running a thin glove and hand warmer but I don't know if I will still be able to feel the throttle....

Here is a small video I recorded during practice; http://media.putfile.com/LHR

That was you that the announcer guy was always saying he is giving Kevin extra time becuase he is in 3 classes?
LHR January 15th, 2006 - slim - 01-16-2006
that vid dont work
bad codec.
LHR January 15th, 2006 - RCDad - 01-16-2006
It worked from home but it took so long to connect here at work I gave up...
LHR January 15th, 2006 - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-16-2006
RCDad, I didn't realize you were there! Ryan and I were there running the Revo. I met a bunch of guys, but we were super busy from 10:40 - 11:00am fixing broken arms before the first race. Sorry we missed you and the family!
I also tried the video...got audio but no video...how big is the file? Can you email it out if I get you my addy?
LHR January 15th, 2006 - RCDad - 01-16-2006
Around 10:45-10:50 I started packing up so I probably missed you. It's about 12 mb, it was originally in .mov format and I convereted it, maybe that is the problem. I'll have to try some other format.
LHR January 15th, 2006 - bubbacola - 01-16-2006
Wow rcdad you pay to race and then went home before the race started?
LHR January 15th, 2006 - chitownracerLST - 01-16-2006
Dave, Thanks for the AMB PT, really came in handy a couple times yesterday!!
Good driving, I hope to race with you again

bubbacola Wrote:Wow rcdad you pay to race and then went home before the race started?Bernie, I asked this before but never got a reply...
Can some one come out on a Sunday, pay to practice and then decide to race, and then pay the difference? How would that work?

Yep, we never once had John announcing for us to return our loaners to the rack
One less thing to think about/check on. I know I'll see you and your buds there again! I'm a racing junkie after one day. Now my son gets his turn! Let's see, I better get spare parts.......
LHR January 15th, 2006 - FreeRideFrosty - 01-16-2006
Yeah... having my own transponder probably relieved a lot of stress and problems on race day. It worked perfect too. I dremeled 2 little spots out of my reciever box and just ran it upside down. Dave now that you and I are both hooked on racing we need to race. Hehe... since we are both pretty much stock and have only raced once each it would probably be pretty fair.
LHR January 15th, 2006 - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-16-2006
No, you would win....younger reflexes and all....besides, when I fall behind I cheat and ram people!!!! It's amazing what you can get away with if you put Student Driver on your truck..and nobody gets mad! I'm only keeeeding. I'm sure we will end up racing together one of these days!
LHR January 15th, 2006 - bubbacola - 01-16-2006
Practice is for racers only. I have too many that come practice. leave and don't pay. It not fair for the guys there to race to have other people in their way.
LHR January 15th, 2006 - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-16-2006
Gotcha! Thanks. So if someone wants to pay $15 to practice for three hours, they could....but for me, the practice was the races.

That was me :o: Good thing I sold my revo for the 4th class
LHR January 15th, 2006 - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-16-2006
You're just too into this RC thing Kevin! You need to hire a fulltime mechanic to wrench while you race!
LHR January 15th, 2006 - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-16-2006
So, to recap, chitowners that we know were there at least some of the time Sunday:
Satoch
UE-Maxx
RCDad
MX Kevin
DestroyMyRevo
chitownracerLST
DaveC & RyanC
Who am I forgetting, or didn't meet?
LHR January 15th, 2006 - UE-Maxx - 01-16-2006
I didn't know that satoch, mx kevin, chitownracerlst were there. I was the one with the bright yellow body that was on it's lid most of the time. LOL I am glad I somewhat fixed my steering.
