Indoor electric RC
Today, well to be 100% accurate, Saturday a bunch of us tested out the astro turf at Ozzy’s in Leesport.
I was only there for a little bit, but I did see several rc’s running. Two Slash’s, two other 1/10 scale trucks, and 1/8th scale buggy and a 1/10 touring car. There was also two HPI Formula Ten’s, but I left before they ran.
Hobbytown is still in negotiations to get some indoor winter racing going there.
Since the only rc I own now are airplanes and mini helicopters, I took them too. And I was flying my MSR heli and Ember. The Ember was a blast! I actually had a little bit of fun buzzing the guys setting up the cones for the track.
Stay tuned for more news!

End of the 2009 season

Yes I have neglected this for quite a while. I will not bore you with the reasons, because they are are boring.

It was a very good season, maybe the best we have had yet. We only had one rain out for the entire season, which given the amount of rain we have gotten is incredible. The one rain out had to be the Hobby Connection Day cash race though.  And it looked pretty bad for the final race of the season also. After an hour delay, the racing went on and it was a great day.

Here is a link for the photos of the last race.

Points race #7

What a turn out!
There is a hell of a turn out here. I got to the track a little late, and the parking is all but full.
It is another beautiful day, maybe a little on the warm and sticky side, but it is shaping up to be a good day.

The first, of many hopefully, Novice Racers night at Hobbytown USA in Reading, Pa. The racers who attended, Eric, Jamie, Nick, Nigel and Glenn, thanks a ton! The people I spoke to who attended got quite a bit out of it and enjoyed themselves.
This is one of the reasons I like the whole race program at Hobbytown. It is very oriented toward helping people out who may be new or just need some help. It makes for a better race day, and even if these people never race, they will hopefully enjoy the hobby just a little bit more. And after all it is a hobby, right? Supposed to have fun, bring the family, have a good day, right?

Apologies

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the last few months. I have been a little slow in some of my responsibilites, and I would like to make it clear that the situations that caused the problems are no longer a day to day issue. If this is a little vague, too bad.

I am hoping to be out to the track soon to get photos, but the combination of screwed up personal life and getting stuck working on race days, it is going to get better. After all we don’t have all that many races left in the season. Three points and a cash and a trophy race.

So, thats it. Hope to see you out at the track soon.

Isn't technology wonderful!

No this not a sarcastic posting. But I have a new peice of tech that has some interesting possibilites for at the races.

I have finally gotten my self an iPhone. While this is reason enough to be overjoyed, it has other potential. Say I am out at the track and it is 7:30 in the morning, and the weather has been iffy. I will be able to post track and weather conditions.

I will also be able to post photos straight from the track, with out having toget my laptop, hunt for a wireless signal….

And I would do this for the next race, the cash race, but I have to work, thanks Dave!

2002

I will be moving in the next few weeks or so, and as a result it has been a time to go through old boxes. And guess what I found. Old cd’s with photos and video from 2002.

Looking through them, it is very clear that my skill at taking photos of rc cars and trucks have improved cnsiderably. But the photos are interesting because it shows what the track looked like back then. These were the old days, no 1/8 buggies or truggies. There were a few monster trucks, but it was just about all 1/10 stadium trucks.

In the next few weeks I will be uploading to Flickr, so bear with me.

3rd Points Race

It went better than could be expected. The rain on Friday helped out a lot, and the new sound system kicks butt! A big thanks out to Tom, Eric and Toby for all they have done!

Here is a link for the photos. There aren’t too many, only 80 or so.
