Any young person still in high school has one job..to get the best possible education, so they can get a quality college education to prepare them for the rest of their life. earning $7.50/hr at Burger King is nothing, and should be avoided if at all possible. Even the distracting hobby/business of painting bodies would be squashed if mike were in my house. Hit the books and get that big scholarship, Mike! Freeloading my butt. Anyone who can earn some college ride money has earned every bit of parental support given, and then some!

Dave,
Mike gets good grades AND makes money painting, you'd still shut him down? He's level headed and is pointed in the right direction.

Sounds like your still stuck in the traditional way of thinking. "get good grades, go to college, get a nice job with a pention working for a good company".
That's the old way of thinking and you may have a decent and happy life doing that but you'll never get to where you really want to be.

My I suggest a book, it's called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

You don't want to be an employee at a corporation, you want to OWN the corporation. Whether it be big or small.

I'm still struggling, but I'm working on it!

[Ponch]

Welp after practice today I'm out of the races. I'll be hanging around on sunday but I'm not going saturday.

V-spec totaled itself.

[rocco79]

Ponch!!!! WTF?!?!!!??

[chris arnold]

ponch i have a top p5 that will be great for that losi. i will have it at the track tomorrow.

[rocco79]

Ponch what happend?

[Ponch]

Chris, Thanks for the offer but right now I have about $45 and I doubt you'd sell it for that.

Rocco, the rod snapped in half, put a nice dent in the case, and smashed the edge of the sleeve, and some of the con rod got into the bearings I'm pretty sure.

[rocco79]

OMFG!!! Dude, you have such good luck! I got a picco .26 you can run!

[cemeb4dk]

I have a hyper 21 if Rocco wants to go to the basement of a FH and get it....lol

[Casketman]

Oh,nothin to see down there!!

[Ponch]

That's allright guys, Thanks very much though. I have since made some plans for tomorrow.

Pics;










Shit you know what, this motor is getting parted out. The carb is still perfect and I bet I could get $30-$40 for it on ebay easily.

[cemeb4dk]

Whats wrong with it?

Oh and I found Waldo in your pic also.....



Sorry to hear about your luck, you shouldnt of made plans so soon, you know people here will help you.....



Also thats just a freak thing that can happen at 2 gallons or 12 gallons, no telling when where or why....

[rocco79]

ponch 5 small nitro engines 0

[rocco79]

George is right... Man nobody will care if you run my .26... Just run it poncharello!

[Ponch]

idk, then I gotta look like a dumbass and pay entry again (Bernie was nice enough to refund my entry since all I did was practice for 3 tanks)..And then hope the motor runs.

I'll think about it.

You guys think we'll be out by 4:45 tomorrow? or at least have 2 quals run?

[rocco79]

Just Run It Bitch!
