When I see someone coming by that looks like they might have ill intentions, I just yell Earnhardt and they give me the thumbs up and move on
If that does not work, Freebird will do it every time.
He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.
I went with my brother to the Twin 125s (at the time) at Daytona when I was in college when he was going to Embry Riddle. I don't remember much about it, which should show you how much interest I have/had. I have been to MIS out in BFE Brooklyn, MI a number of times when I was with Roush as I used to give customer tours of the garage and Pit Lane But some of the other management employees got a little pissy about grabbing the glory, so that didn't last long as I grew tired of it real quick. But it was an experience.
As for road racing, that is another story (LOVE IT), back in the day been to Daytona 24, Sebring 12, Miami GP, West Palm Beach GP...... more recently, I have been to Road America, Daytona 24, Sebring 12, Laguna Seca, Mid Ohio, Detriot GP, and the grand daddy of them all Le Mans (all ALMS events, except for the Daytona 24). I think I am going to Petit this year, as it is alot closer to AL than MI.

I really miss taking motorsport pics too. Spent too much money and other photogs get real nasty with you if you are a "hobbyist." Thanks for the complement.
Check out http://www.regislefeburephoto.com, he is the best in the world in my opinion, he really knows how to "see." NOW THOSE ARE QUALITY SHOTS!

Not exactly, you have to know how to "see." I only use a 10D and a 70-200 2.8, 550EX Flash.... I think I spent $3000.00 back in 2001....... but being a member of Canon Professional helped so I didn't have to plunk down $15K for a 600 4.0.

I'm sure this has been discussed before. What's the best way to get your old white plastic parts looking new again or at least better? I was thinking about a 90% water 10% bleach soak. Is this a bad idea? Also will putting the parts in semi boiling...

Thanks for the info on Super Clean. I went looking for some today, didn't find it. So I was going to get some Simple Green instead when I passed by the Soft Scrub products and found this....
I have this RC 10 and would like to see it I can bleach the pink parts white again or maybe die a different color to make it look better without them turning out an off color.. Will this be trouble or not???

I wanted to know if RPM made white 10T front and rear body mounts? Not the #7014 body posts, but the actual mounts for the posts. Either adjustable or non-adjustable. I've never seen them in the ads.
Wasn't sure where to put this but since I'm interested in making some RC10T parts it seemed best to put it here.
I think this is most useful for vintage goodies that are out of production but there's scope for all sorts of things:
Here's where I...

A friend picked up a kit at the hobby store and did a mold of a JAVALIN Cage and it came out awsome. if he got the color rite you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from the kit cage.The mold kit plastic didn't hold up to racing. He is waiting...
Has anyone any good tips on how to get original white parts clean and white again? Acetone and Bleach don't work! :shock:

i've used castrol super clean and had decent results getting parts clean, but once that white plastic gets that yellowish stain to it, its pretty much impossible to get WHITE again. i've tried bleach, softscrub, boiling them in bleach... nothing...
Tonight I bought a hotplate for $19.00 to dye my parts in the basement. I have been using the grill outside, but it never got the water to a good boil.

do you have some sort of screen to keep the parts off the bottom which could warp parts???
I use a wire to hold it in the air.
As for the blue potatoes, I figured it was safer to take my chances without using the potato gauge.
