Very nice, Thanks for posting these for those of us that could not make the trek, it looks like everyone is having a blast. Keep'em coming!!

[Halgar]

Damnit!!!!! Why isn't this working?!?!?!?!?!?!

An the award for the best sense of humor (yes Tad and Halgar.... someone else has out done you both), plus the most unique entry goes to Anthony aka aconsola for his "mrlexan's spy entry", the 2-Liter RC10!!!! Great stuff Anthony! **NOTE** by looking at the photo you can tell how hot and humid it is here.

Not possible! I don't have to sweat my lower regions off to be funny. Tad on the other hand ...

I will now take this time to say that scr8p is one scary dude! Mel and Hoopty, you're not what I expected, and Lex, why no candids of you?

Come on, you know I love all you guys!

[mrlexan]

LOL! I was just discussing that with hoopty..... that being behind the camera, I can't take a pic of myself. He said he would take some pics of me tomorrow.

Hopefully we'll see you driving the 2.0 liter class car!

[mrlexan]

More Picys.........

[mrlexan]

And more.......

[mrlexan]

A couple more then I am off to bed.... I am whooped.

[templeofspeed]

My fave pics so far are 'hoopty's rubberband glue ring and the resulting fact that it didn't hold. Different when you're not racing on the shelf.

Glad you guys are having fun, cooler less humid weather is on the way.

I had my wife log in from home, to see this thread. She wasn't as diplomatic about the picture: "you're a disgusting mess"
Thanks to Volumiza and templeofspeed for helping out with wheels and tires to complete the chassis. The Idea for the body came from the June 1990 Rccaraction pit tips section.
I think we can get Jay to take a drive.

Erich, Mark, and the rest of the RCHR crew are putting on a great show.

Special Thanks to Mrlexan for the great job with the live updates and photos.

Special Thanks to Mrlexan for the great job with the live updates and photos.

Here, here! Thanks Lex, without you we wouldn't know just how funky Hoopty gets under pressure ...

[kenooze]

Thanks Jay for this live!

Could you try to make pictures of the chassis in the pit, and could you make tech charts of the A mains (cars, drivers, age, speedo, batteries, motors and win, tires, bodyshell...=

Thanks from France

[mrlexan]

Cedric, while I agree that information would be great to post..... that would be a ton of work I am supposed to be on vacation and enjoying myself and not "working." I will see what I can do, but details might be something I don't want to get into.

[kenooze]

I know that Jay !
I do such job at evry national and during Euro and World championship.
Unfortunetly I cant' travel to USA forthis event and I'm not the only one, , so you are our Eyeswith you camera

Thanks Jay.

Enjoy your race and this event and do not forget to make a picture of you and of your car

It is bright and early Sun morning and everyone is starting to roll in. There will be one round of qualifying leading up to the mains. I will try to get a list of the final qualifying positions before the mains start and post them. I wanted to post the qualifying times after each session, but to be honest it is just simply too much work for one person. I need or needed another person to sit at the computer to enter in all the times.... where's my wife when I need her? I can't split myself into two and be out on the course taking pics at the same time...... yes, I am whining.

I would like to note that, guess who was here first this morning even before any of the owners where here to open the place up......... THE RC10TALK RACE TEAM!!!!!...... Brandon, Jason, Jason, Anthony, Scott, Brian and myself. How is that for dedication.
