So what does it take to make up a class for the club races?

As far as getting together I'm up for whatever, racing or just pratice. Sundays are generally good for me. But with advance notice other days could work.

I'm down whenever. If noone puts something together I'll probably arrange something and let you guys know with plenty of notice. One of the fifth scale people came in and said something like "If you guys showed up and did a demo race at the end of a 1/5 car day they'd eat it up and buy some." I think that's a really good idea. Show people what it's all about and go from there.

Since the race several people have been coming into the hobby shop interested in the bikes. We just got the Nitro TT in and I think it may be coming home with me soon. I will definitely have a bike for every class next year. Just didn't have time to tune up the HOR for the race this year.

It doesn't take much just need a few people to show up. we can do the same thing we do with the 10th scale ...run them all together untill we get enough to have different classes.

Good.. it'll be good to see you on a regular basis... I know the trip may be long ... but once a month or so shouldn't be too bad...

the rest of us who live down here can go a little more often

pigeonfarmboy · Aug 14, 2005, 04:59 PM

Gizmo's in Burbank

Kmot · Aug 14, 2005, 06:46 PM

Gizmo's... I have been there. It is a very well stocked hobby shop! Hey, I just saw on the webpage a while back they opened a store in Virginia. Are they gonna move back there altogether?

pigeonfarmboy · Aug 14, 2005, 09:21 PM

Nah, just another store.

Do you remember where in VA? I live in WV, but work in northern VA.

Always looking for a new place to spend my money - though Hobby Hangar in Chantily is pretty nice. Definitely geared more toward the planes and helis though...

I believe it's Tazewell.

Count me in, maybe once every 3mo.

It costs about $80 round trip gas money to get there.

My couch or aero bed is always welcome as well. As long as you can put up with freeway noise 20ft from my apt. hahaha.

thought I'd go ahead and sticky it for y'all.

Hello All,

I saw the motorcycles for the first time here Friday before the U.S. champs at S.V. and I was hooked. Bruce can tell you I almost bought one to race that weekend, I then tried to rent one for the race

. And I even had Bruce looking for a used one for me.

I'll be getting a TT electric w/ some brakes from Patrick in Australia. I think we'll be able to get some racing 1/month here at Sun Valley.

Eric
