Northern Nevada R/C Racing

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

As of now this is the only track trying to have races in 2006 that I know of. It is mine. its at my house, and it is free. If you are in the area I try to accomidate people on sundays. We are not "open" for racing unless it is a scheduled race day. Contact me at Stan@1stplacerace.com to make arrangements for sunday practice
I will post a race date on this thread by the end of the month.
Please post if you know of other tracks in the area. Stan www.1stPlaceRace.com .

[Skeeno]

Races at Stan's again? YeeHaw! Let me know if you want me to drop off any flyers to the hobby shops in Reno. Also, let me know if you need any help.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Well the track is always better when people show up on the weekends to practice and fix rough spots. What I really need is for everybody to show up for a friggin race. Christy is due in 8 days so Im not going to advertise any race for a few weeks. Dude, your skinny @$$ has not been out here for a year! I know..masters degree.... blah blah blah :rolleyes:

[Skeeno]

Is there still snow/water on the track?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

no it has been clear for a couple of weeks.

[Skeeno]

I'll call Mike. We may be out tomorrow.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Call me in the morning, It looks like rain, but you never know.

[lonettr]

Well I'll be Damed! a track in fallon nv. where were you 15 years ago when i was growing up there?(back when fallon bike and hobby was still boom'n) in fact, i lived just across the road from ya. now i'm really gonna have to come back. and a ? for ya; have any of you ever heard of a Randy Buchannan? we used to bash together back in the day. do you have auto lap counting?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

I use a simple timing program with manual keyboard scoring. Sorry, i dont know randy b. But Fallon is kinda big compared to 15 years ago. There are even 2000 homes going in at Hazen. Fernly goes all the way to hazen now.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

1st place raceway in Fallon will be open every weekend this month for practice and racing. The race will be presidents day weekend. Sat the 18th, unless the weather is bad, then we will go sunday the 19th. Practice and racing are free. We race any class with at least 3 entries.

From the drivers stand

[Skeeno]

Do you want to make any fliers?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

If you want some fliers and live in Washoe or Douglas county PM me your mailing address. I will mail some to AMS myself, but I would like some taken to the hobby shop at slot car world. Those guys have a pretty big hobby shop now.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Racing on the 18th will start at 11:30 AM. Track opens to practice at 9 AM. If you show up before 9 AM you will Immediatly be put to work on the track.

[fullsyzz]

Found the thread....looking forward to meeting you guys in person soon.

[Skeeno]

Stan, I sent you a PM. I can drop those flyers off at slotworld this weekend.

[Skeeno]

I dropped those flyers off Monday. Hopefully, that generates some interest. I am hoping for a good enough turn out on Saturday that we can race a little.

I had a good time practicing. The problem with my buggy was in the rear diff. The ring gear stripped. I fixed it already. I should be ready to go now. Mike is coming.

I attached a couple pics. I tried to load my video, but I can't remember my RC Pics ID.

[fullsyzz]

Hey guys, looks like rain and/or snow this weekend. Are we looking at a possible reschedule for Saturday?

[Skeeno]

It rarely snows or rains at Stan's, but hopefully he'll keep us posted on the conditions.

[fullsyzz]

Well in that case, I'll wear my bathing suit and get a tan this weekend. :D

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

If it is just cold we will race. If its raining, snowing or real windy we will go sunday. I can be reached after 7AM saturday for a yes or no on racing (

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

The race is off for Saturday. If the weather breaks we will race Sunday.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

We will definitly try to race tomorrow (sunday) starting at 11:30 We did not get much snow last night. I have already heard from 8 people who will be out here if it is nice.

[Skeeno]

I should be there around 10 or 1030

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

I have gotten alot of emails back this morning . Pretty much everybody says its too cold to race. We will be racing Next Saturday the 25th if the weather is warmer. Please tell your RC friends. Stan www.1stPlaceRace.com

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Hey, I have heard a rumor that there is a new offroad track already built near the airport in carson city, and that racing starts in a month. It is supposidly a ROAR track. Time to get my hopes up again...........

[Skeeno]

Is that being run by Hobbytown? Who can we call for details?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

I heard this fron Chocco so who knows, but he said it is a private club, not associated with any hobby shops, or mike santiago. He said the owner of hobbytown and somebody else told him about it.

[fullsyzz]

I've heard rumors about a track near the CC airport too, but have no details. Who wants to play detective and figure this one out? Until then, Stan's house on the 25th eh?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Yep, my house in the 25th. The long term weather forcast is pretty good. I

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

I beefed up the down hill whoops section today.

[fullsyzz]

Looks great. I'm looking forward to tearing it up this weekend. Think we'll have enough truggies show up to run an unlimited mt class? I'm anxious to run my new CRT, and surely you want to see that Hellfire run 'em, eh? :cool:

[Skeeno]

I want to check out that CRT.

[fullsyzz]

It's just the RTR version but with a couple goodies. Airtronics servos, Spektrum, M11, Dace 23mm hubs, and 40 series crimefighters on Wabash's. It's all broke in but hasn't even seen dirt yet. Should be interesting seems how it sounds like Stan's got a decent amount of time behind the transmitter with the Hellfire. We shall see.

[Skeeno]

Stan can wheel around his track pretty well. He should, since it's in his backyard. It's a fun track. It's fast. Lot's of places to ring out the throttle. My Savage sounds like it's gonna blow half way down the straight.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Yea matt, I would get a bigger clutch bell installed before this weekend, We have a fast MT class, and yes, if skeeno or somebody else will time the truggy class I will race it. I have 2 guys , one's name is Tron coming down from Minden with CRT's They should pull my hellfire down the back straight, it really needs a bigger clutch bell. There is alot of interest in this race, despite the fact that the reno hobby shops are not really excited to tell there customers we are racing, I called AMS and slot car wharehouse and the both sounded like they could care less. You guys need to go hang out at those places and spread the word!!! :D

[fullsyzz]

I was just in AMS today, and he didn't have any idea about the races, so I informed him. You're right though, he obviously isn't too interested in spreading the word. As far as the CRT's, vs. the Hellfire, for me anyway, it's more of a matter of me keeping my CRT rubber side down for me to have any chance of "pulling" any of you guys, even if you're just running a Hornet.

[Skeeno]

Traun is a really nice guy. I have pitted next to him in G'Ville and Rescue. He is friends with Rick, the former owner of In Motion.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

John at AMS cares, but I think he is training right now. Arnold the german could care less.

[fullsyzz]

Yep, Arnold confirmed John was gone. Arnold also said he was trying to get John to buy AMS....Hmmmmm?

[Skeeno]

Are the Hawthorne guys coming?

I'll be out around 10

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Yes they are coming. I talked to chocco yesterday.

[Skeeno]

I had a great time today. Thanks for having us out, Stan. I hope we get a good turn out next time. If we could do that once a month and get the Hawthornies and G'Villies out, it would be perfect. Let me know the date and I will make sure that AMS and Slotworld have flyers.

Fullsyzz, it was good to me you and your buddy, Eric. I hope you guys had fun and can make it next time.

Note...Fullsyzz will now have to race in the regular class after his crushing victory in Novice that made a 9 year old boy cry.

[depdog]

I have to agree with Skeeno, had one helluva good time today out at Stans track. Totally laid back day of rc'ing. Anybody reading this post, if you want to have some FUN running your rc's Stans is the place to go. Nice big track not to difficult for us not so experts yet challenging enough for the seasoned pro not to mention the great people I met today. I will be back.

Thanks to all who came out. If you plan on coming out before our NEXT RACE March 19th, thats fine, but please be prepared to do a little track work. The track took a serious beating and needs some TLC. Unfortunatly I was a little too busy to play photographer, but here are the pics I was able to take from the computer.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Here are some pics taken after the races were over,

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

More pics, The 1st one really shows how beaten up the track got.

[jkl]

Stan-
Wanted to let you know that I am still in the area and still interested in racing. I stopped by your place once in the fall. However, I'm pretty tied up for at least the next month. I'll keep checking this forum for updates. How many electrics do you have show up? I run a 19T motor in a Losi buggy at the moment, and I'm not ready to switch over to gas-I've got enough invested at the moment in this set up. Is there a problem with me racing against gas vehicles if I can find some time in the next few months to come out?

[Skeeno]

I think only one person had an electric this last race, but the races are about fun. You should be welcome to race against the gas 1/10 with your electric. I'm not sure how the mains would go. We ran 10min mains this time. Could your truck run 10mins?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Actually chocco and CJ would probably run mod truck with JKL. 2wd buggy is gonna be hell out here though. the track was like a motorcross track after the heats

Thanks to everybody who made a donation after the races. Here is a pic of what I was able to buy for the next race. 300 feet of hose, 1 gallon of concentrated weed killer and a new weed sprayer. Thanks again, we will have 2 water lines now which is a big help.

[fullsyzz]

Hats off to Stan, what a great day of racing! Letting all us rednecks show up in your back yard and tear up the track......that'll teach you. It was great meeting all of you finally, and thanks to Skeeno, Randy, and Mark for all the help with my CRT, and getting up and down the ramp. It was just a great group of people having an even better time. And yeah, next time I will be racing a different class ;) Just a little more stick time and I might stand a chance to run with you fast guys. Once again, HUGE thanks to Stan, 1st Place Raceway, and a great group of people.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Your welcome!! :D

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Our next race will be Sunday March 19th. We will race any class with at least 3 entries. Races are free. I will accept donations at the end of the day if anybody feels the need, Donations go to track equipment.
NEW TRACK RULE... YOU MAY ENTER NO MORE THAN 2 CLASSES.
This will assure we have enough marshalls and gas people.
If anybody has a problem with this we can talk , about it but it really would help out.

I have already started to fix the track, I have alot of loose dirt to shovel up so expect bigger/more jumps. :D

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

I finished this tonight and it is a blast to run. We need to start a "retro" class. I know you guys could pony up $120 $250 to get a Lunchbox,blackfoot,frog,grasshopper,clodbuster built!

[fullsyzz]

My first rc was a Hornet around 1985. I could see us running a retro class.........Hmmm?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

I finished touching up the track today. If its nice tomorrow (sunday the 5th) you all are welcome to come out and practice.

[fullsyzz]

I was hoping to come get some stick time before the next race, but it aint happening. Seems how I have to be in Vegas next weekend :D for the race. Plus I have a grip of new parts for my CRT including the BCE racing CRT chassis, brace, and top plate that I want to install before then. We'll see. The heat in the summer doesn't bother me too much.....even in Fallon, so worst case scenerio I don't really learn how to drive till this Summer. I'll still be there the 19th though to see what's up.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Thats fine, there wont be practice next weekend anyways due to Monster Jam.

[fullsyzz]

I'll be at Monster Jam Friday night. When are you going?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Me and owen will be there at the 2PM show saturday.

[fullsyzz]

Too bad, I'll be on a plane to Vegas for some stupid race at 1:00 Staurday ;) Hopefully the rain doesn't keep the cars covered up on pit road this weekend :mad:

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

I have downloaded laps free. The old timing program we used to use. This thing is awesome. Now we will have much more information reguarding lap times, qualifying order etc.Anybody who would like to get fimiliar with the program can request a free download from www.rctiming.com

[fullsyzz]

Will I still get to call the numbers on the cars as they go by on race day, or am I being laid off? If that's the case. I'll have to bring beer next time to kill time in the pits :cool:

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

No, numbers will still be done with the keyboard. I will see if rick from In Motion hobbies still has his AMB equipment. If so laps free is amb compatable and he might want to try to get it working.

[fullsyzz]

That would be cool. But I got to hand it to you Stan. You've already got quite the cool set-up out there. I wish I had half the track size/set-up you do.......lap counting or not. But, I know you fast guys like to know what the fastest lap was, etc. Maybe soon enough I'll be fast enough to care how my lap times shape up to the others.

[Skeeno]

Hey Sy, Where in Reno do you live? I live out by Wingfield Springs. We should hook up on a weekend and do a little bashin.

[Skeeno]

What's this about AMB? I may get to use my personal transponder?

[fullsyzz]

Right now I'm living in a super ghetto apartment complex downtown Reno (Lake St. and State St.) kitty corner from the Sienna. Should be moving pretty soon to S. Reno off Wedge Parkway at Mt. Rose Hwy. I'm totally up for a bashing session. We should do it. This weekend I'll be in Vegas for NASCAR, but after that, game on!

BTW....why is Stan wanting to switch forums....you know?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Dont get excited about AMB, i dont know if Rick still has it, Or if he would want to set it up here. Although it would be nice to learn how to use the friggin stuff. If we could get it to work. Dont "switch " forums but I still want to keep the old thread alive.

[fullsyzz]

Gotcha. So basically I showed up a day late on this forum, when really you had the other thread (rczone) going long before we even met. I guess I should pay closer attention. Or at least pay some attention, eh?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Dont forget the race here at 1st Place Raceway Sunday March 19th. Track opens at 9 AM Racing starts at 11:30 AM Tell your friends.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

FYI There is NO snow on the ground here in fallon. The weather is supposed to start clearing saturday night. We should have good weather Sunday.

[fullsyzz]

Partly cloudy, 50 degrees, should be good.

[fattiremike]

COME-ON WEATHER !!! stan, the last race kicked some major a$$ ,, looking forward to this one,,the hawthone boys are jacked :D

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Hey thats good to hear! I think the weather will be fine by sunday. The track is in great shape. Hey Skeeno, is your fatter, higher colesterol half coming out this time? :D

[Skeeno]

He said he has to watch his boy because his wife and parents are out of town. That might change now that Nevada lost in the first round of the NCAA tourny. Hopefully, his parents will be able to watch his boy. I'll call him again tomorrow to check.

[Skeeno]

I talked to Mike. He is not coming. I will be coming with another friend. His son has an E-Maxx.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

The force is strong with you Skeeno. Mike is tempted by the dark side. You must confront your apprentice, only when his Mangina is removed will he be safe from the dark side.

[tds250r]

Hi Stan this is Traun from Minden there will be 5 of us coming to race tomarrow.Hopefully the weather is nice,we all had a lot of fun last time .Thank you for hosting a fun race day with a good group of racers.See ya in the morning.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Hey Traun, thanks for joining us. The weather is clearing up nice and we are good to go tomorrow. I put some water down this afternoon and the track is in top shape for racing.

[autox7]

Stan,

I have a meeting after church this morning, but I will try and come by after that. I think that I have all of the feedback problems figured out. I finally got to run a complete tank of gas yesterday.

Jason

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Next race at 1st Place Raceway will be Saturday April 29th. I will allow practice on the weekends before the race, just let me know you are coming.

[fullsyzz]

Another great day of racing THANK YOU! Me and Skeeno were right next to each other so we got to hang out and bs for a while. There were a lot of people there yesterday so you had your hands full running the show.

Can't wait to see what you come up with on the paint :D

[depdog]

Another fun filled day of racin at Stans place. I hope people in northern NV read this forum and start taking advantage of this track. This is the lowest stress track you could ever race at. Anyway it was way cool racin and shootin the breeze with G-ville guys and all the others and thanks to Sy for the rear upright. Hey Traun I cant remember the name of the damn place for the Losi front plate we talked about can you post it here?

[tds250r]

Hey depdog the company that makes the losi parts is rock concepts.I had a good time yesterday racing with you guys.Stans place is a fun laid back race enviernment.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Hey, anybody who has pictures dont forget to post them. Just go to the manage attachments button when you are posting a new reply..
The next race will be SATURDAY APRIL 29TH.
The race has been moved because the opening day at Rescue is Sunday April 23rd.
April 29th is my bithday so bring a extra beer! :D

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

I really was feeling like a jackass tonight because I realized I had not thanked Skeeno (Matt) for helping with lap counting . If it was not for Matt I would not get to race and beaten by Chocco , Randy and Traun. So thank you Matt, or in Budweiser commercial speak "Mr. RC lap timer keeper upper guy".

I have a contest for you guys, the prize is......nothing, Come up with a name for a 3 race series held in 3 backyard tracks in the area.
My entry is

Nevada Back Yard Bash 2006



Traun check you Private message box at the top right of your screen

[Skeeno]

No need to thank me. I will do whatever is needed to keep our little group going.

I like your race name. Maybe we could change it to Nevada Backyard Race Series 2006.

Also, I have a bunch of pics from Sunday to post. I haven't had time to do it yet. I should have time tonight.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Well thanks anyways I appriciate your work out here and will need your help and input if Me ,Traun and Bill decide to try and pull off a series. Im going to try and visit the other 2 tracks sometime in the next couple of weeks.

[PyroMike]

How about Smashing the Desert 06.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Hey, thanks mike. We allow adult beverages at our races so its more like "smashed in the desert"

[chocco]

stan what tracks you got in mind so far?

[Skeeno]

Here's some pics. These are of the crew.
Pic#1 Fullsyzz
Pic#2 Rick of InMotion Fame
Pic#3 Stan the Man
Pic#4 TDS250r and Depdog

[Skeeno]

Some 1/10 action

[Skeeno]

Truggies tearin' it up.

[Skeeno]

Monster trucks. Didn't get many of these. Kinda hard to take photos and marshal at the same time.

[Skeeno]

1/8 Buggies

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

stan what tracks you got in mind so far?


I am going to visit Traun and Bills tracks if possible.See what the accomidations are like. If we have the first 2 races in gardnerville It will help get people out here to fallon for the last race of the series. Rick knows alot of racers in Gardnerville that dont want to drive out to fallon to race.

Chocco, I forgot to tell you I have the paperwork here on the Ranger if you are still interested.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Here is a pic of the rescue schedule for this year.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Chocco, do you think the Schurz track could be ready to hold a series race by June 24th?
That would be a good weekend for us all to come out. We could all go buy fireworks for the 4th of July weekend.

[fullsyzz]

Here's some pics. These are of the crew.
Pic#1 Fullsyzz
Pic#2 Rick of InMotion Fame
Pic#3 Stan the Man
Pic#4 TDS250r and Depdog
Cool, thanks for posting pics Skeeno!
Hey, you guys think I could come race in Rescue/G'ville, etc. if I'm willing to let you guys help me/carry me up on the driver stand? It's totally cool having my own little stand out at Stan's, but I gotta tell ya, it's EXTREMELY difficult to see the track. While I'm not trying to blame my crappy driving on the lack of visibility, I do think I could do much better if I could see. And, I don't think there's anyone at Rescue, G'ville etc. to conatact like at Stan's to accomodate me. I'm special. :rolleyes:

I don't mind being piggybacked, potato-sacked or whatever onto the driver stand, and it's always a group of good people so I'm sure you guys would be more than willing to help. :D Maybe even at Stan's from now on

[Skeeno]

The Rescue track has a wheelchair ramp. I'm not sure of the visibity up there if you are sitting though. We might have to get a lift kit for your wheelchair.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

If we could get some material I could easily build a ramp at my track, Probably 8 4x4 posts, 3 or 4 sheets of 3/4 or 7/8 plywood, and some 2x4's and I could make the left side of the stand chair accessible.

[chocco]

stan i will talk to lugi today and get back to you

[PyroMike]

Hey, thanks mike. We allow adult beverages at our races so its more like "smashed in the desert"
Your welcome, just don't pass out on the track.;)

[autox7]

Stan,

Let me see how much of that wood I can get you. We had a bunch of trucks come in this week. I don't know how many 4X4's there will be, but let me look tomorrow anyway.

Jason

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Hey, thanks jason. We have a couple of guys who would benifit from any help you could provide with materials

[fullsyzz]

Hey, thanks guys. I think what I'll do is bring a bar stool or some sort of "high chair" and sit in that up on the driver stand. I've never been to Rescue, that's cool they already have a ramp. I'm willing to pay for and help build a ramp out at your place, Stan. Also, the platform you built for me is awesome Stan, but it is SO hard to see from down there, it's amazing I make it around the track as well as I do. It's great you guys are so willing to help out, I really appreciate it. Keep me posted on the ramp materials and I will do all I can to help out.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Dont worry about it dude. We all should make out stands chair accessible anyways.

[fullsyzz]

I should be a good driver too, but I still suck. :D

I really do appreciate all you've done for me.

[autox7]

We've got more wood than you can shake a stick at. Plenty of 2x4's and 2x6's. I might even be able to get a few railroad ties if need be. No plywood though. I will have to make some calls about those however. I just need some help getting the wood from my compound to your place Stan.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Can I bring a truck on to the base? I can get a good sized truck this weekend or next. As long as you wont get into trouble.

[autox7]

This weekend is better than next. I will be moving next weekend so that won't work so hot.

You can bring your truck as long as I sponsor you to get on and off the base. Not a big deal. Just make sure that all of your info, ie registration/insurance/driver's license, is current and the paperwork will only take a few minutes.

I sent you an e-mail with my phone number in it. Call me and we can work something out. I have plans for tomorrow afternoon, but nothing on Sunday.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Sweet, I will give you a call tomorrow sometime.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Jason came through huge with plenty of 2x6's to build a ramp frame. I have enough donations from last time to get the plywood to face the ramp.

[fullsyzz]

Holy smokes, you guys aren't screwing around! Maybe with the new ramp, that other guy in a chair from Schurz will get into again. He sounded interested when we talked, maybe this will push him. I can't wait.

[depdog]

Hey Sy I managed to end up with two left side rear uprights. Can you check your box and see if you have the matching pair in right sides. I really need the right side if you have it. I am doing a chassis up rebuild and that is all that I am missing. Let me know if you have it.
Thanks
Randy

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

I have the ramp frame built. If anybody wants to come out Saturday to practice I could use some help raising the ramp frame up, and attaching it to the drivers stand. It is a 24 foot straight ramp and should be easy for both chair and foot access. Hey Sy, should I put a double jump at the bottom? I dont know if you are into Xtreme chair racing....... :D

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

There is a new site where all of you guys can find info on the new track and pretty much everything RC in the reno carson area. The track is just off the highway on flint road. There is a rc flying field there. The track will be associated with a existing club, High Sierra Radio Control. Racing and practice will be allowed for anybody who is a ROAR or AMA member.

www.renoradiocontrol.com

[Skeeno]

Is that track in Reno or Carson?

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

its in dayton/moundhouse

[autox7]

I second the where is it question...maybe I'm blind/stupid/illiterate but I don't see anywhere it gives an address or exact location.

How does this affect your racing schedule Stan? Or does it at all? Or have you even given it any thought?

Jason

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

If you go thru dayton and start down the hill into carson you will see a sign for the dump on the left side of the road. The track is at the High Sierra RC Club. Please visit the thread they have in the club / track section of the www.renoradiocontrol.com site. The guys there have also gratiously provided 1st Place Raceway with its own section.

Since we only race every 5 weeks or so it wont effect our schedule. I bet this helps alot actually. I have already been in contact with a ton of new people.

[fullsyzz]

Hey guys. I've been in Chicago at a conference for work since last Wednesday, so sorry for the lag time. Randy, I do have the upright you need, so I can get that to you however is best. Want me to ship it? Stan, SWEET on the ramp. I'm thinking I'd like to come out and practice next weekend if possible, but I'm not for sure just yet. And make that double a tripple jump at the bottom of the ramp, I'll wear a helmet, get a push from behind and go for it! :eek: And as for this new track.....any chance it's got a ramp, or can be modified you guys know? It's good to see more and more tracks and people getting involved. And you guys are awesome for helping me out. Hopefully we can get more people involved that are in chairs that have held back because of accessibility.

[PyroMike]

Hey fullsyzz how about the the storms that are about to hit the Chicago area shortly? :D Anyway's you need to get some pic's of you taking the tripple. :D

[fullsyzz]

I saw on TV in the Hotel major storms were about to hit. We left as they were rolling in, but it was windy.....go figure, wind in Chicago. Get the video camera fired up! Lets see how much preload I can get out of this rigid frame chair to clear the tripple, I'd hate to case on the third jump....aint got no skid plate. :cool:

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

The Reno R/C club is off to a good start. Congratulations to Skeeno on being voted Vice President last night! Looks like you guys are going to be busy. Hope you can still make the April 29th race. Check out www.renoradiocontrol.com for details on the new Reno and Dayton clubs.

[Skeeno]

I'm not sure how I feel about being on the exectutive commitee. Nobody was doing it, so someone has to. I want to race. I am worried about the time commitment with my job, my school, wife's school, family time, side jobs. I hope that I can juggle it all.

I know...waa

Fullsyzz... we better see you at the meetings. I think 32 guys have signed up.

[Skeeno]

Oh yeah...I WILL be racing on the 29th.

[fullsyzz]

I was just poking around the RRCC site, and I'm very interested. I had no idea all of the goings on here in Reno. How do I sign up to be a club member, ROAR member, and mostly, how do I get involved with the meetings? Just keep an eye out for the next meeting and show up? Keep me posted. I will definitely be a part of this. When's the next meeting.

PS. I'll be at Stan's on the 29th too. ;)

[fullsyzz]

Oh yeah, and congrats there Mr. President! I'm more than happy to help however I can.

[depdog]

Hey Sy, no worries on the upright I got it worked out for now. I will catch up with you the next time I see you and we will make a proper pair out of the ones we have. Sorry about the delay I have been sick for the last week.

[fullsyzz]

Sounds good Randy. See you the 29th at Stans.....I'll bring all kinds of uprights. Got lots of spares now.

[autox7]

The weather for the weekend looks decent, are you still offering practice this weekend? I'm finally done moving and need to blow off a little steam.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Yea, this weekend is fine. I should be out finishing the ramp.

[autox7]

If you can hold off until later tomorrow afternoon, I will give you a hand. I have to work in the morning, and then finish the yard work at the other house, and then I'll be out. I'm guessing between 2 and 3 or so.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Dont sweat it, Im almost done.

[autox7]

Okay. Now that my schedule has settled down a little bit hopefully there will be a little bit more time for play and less work. This move has really sucked the life right out of me, but it will all be worth it in the long run.

I'll see you tomorrow afternoon then.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

I still need to move some dirt around the bottom, but the ramp is built.

[Skeeno]

Nice, Stan. Fuzzy should be stoked.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a Bear,
Fuzzy Wuzzy had a chair,
Now Fuzzy can see the track........
So we will find out if he is a fast as he said he wuzzy :D

[fullsyzz]

Fuzzy? You guys are bustin me up. Now I can show my true skills.....extra crashing :eek:

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Thats Matts fault. Remember the first time you met and he asked "Are you fuzziez from 411?"

[time4bs]

extra crashes? Sy coming down the ramp or his Jammin crt. The tripple will send him flying like a rag doll... :D Great job on the ramp, I can't wait to see the track.

I'm a friend of Sy's

Ben

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Any friend of of Fuzzy's is a friend of mine. If its time 4 B.S. you will fit right in here.

[fullsyzz]

I'm gonna have to kick Skeeno in the nuts for starting the whole "Fuzzy" thing, but it fits I guess....I'm a warm and fuzzy guy, aren't I? :o We'll have to get this Tiime4BS character out to Fallon and send him off the tripple too. :p Thanks for the comments Ben. :cool: And another thing, "10"!

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Contsruction has officialy begun on the Reno Radio Control Association track. It is located in Mira Loma park. Looks like we will have more than 1 track to talk about now. Thank your favorite spiritual figure for that !!!

[depdog]

Hey Stan did I read on one of these forums that you are going to have the track open this Monday? If so let me know I want to come out.
Thanks

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Randy, I have to work monday after all. I will be off at 2:30 and home by 3:30. If you want to come out thats cool. Nothing like having your own personal law enforcement officer to guard your property while you are at work. :D

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Check out the new treads I got for the hellfire.They are lightweight and meaty. I cant wait to try them out after the track gets wet and loose.

[Skeeno]

What the heck are those things? I have never seen them before.

P.S. I talked to my girlfriend (Mike) today. He should be coming out with me on the 29th.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

XTM 1/7 scale XLB buggy tires and rims!!

[Skeeno]

Are they soft? They look kinda mean.

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

They are very mean :D and medium soft. I think they are going to be "Da Bomb"

[bigred]

well if i know i am going to be in the area i will besure to give you a call and i will make sure to have plenty of gas for my 1/8 buggy and plenty of extra parts for it


-BigRed-

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Dont forget we race Saturday April 29th. Be there by 11 AM so you dont miss signups.

[Skeeno]

Pics of 4/29 Truggy action. This was the only class I could get pictues of. I made them small so they load easier. If you want a full-sized version, PM me and I'll send them to you.

[Skeeno]

A few more

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Yea , thanks Skeeno. That was another awesome day. Too bad a few more folks could not come. Our next race here will most likley be in September. But please feel free to come practice on the weekends. Just use this thread, or the www.renoradiocontrol.com site to contact me and arrange practice.

[depdog]

Hey Stan, wanted to shoot a thank you out to you for another great race day. I wish we could get that big track to hold water so we could race into the summer months. Anyway if you get the itch to have another race prior to September let us all know I would love to come out again. If you get a group of guys wanting to practice on a particular day let me know that as well.
Thanks again

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Hey thanks Dep. My minden boys are all heading to rescue, and my reno crew is getting the RRCA track built. Im just gonna take the summer off. Go race my NT in reno hopefully. I just won a new peak diablo .15 for my NT on ebay for friggin $46... :D SWEET

Make sure to check out www.renoradiocontrol.com for info on the new RRCA offroad track at Mira Loma park. Racing will start there later this month. Thank heavens there is finally a track in the reno area!

[Stan@1stPlaceRace]

Hey the reno grand opener is Sunday the 18th.If you are in the area dont miss it. I wont be racing there I guess. I have been getting threats from one of the locals already. You have heard of penis envy? I guess some racers get track envy................... :confused:
