been stashing whatever cash i coulfd for a rainy day while waiting for b/s/t access (trying to be patient ) until i went to the lhs tis past thursday. i just couldnt resist a nice factory sealed box , and made a quick rash decision against my better judgement. pretty happy though that i finally have a runner while on the great part hunt. i wish there was a track in the nyc area

Is there really not? I would think with a population like that there would be several. In the burbs anyway. Nice scores BTW.
not only is there no track to race in NYC, there isn't even a hobby shop in manhattan! i did find 2 mini Z tracks, one on staten island and one in the bronx. it also looks like there is a track in da boogie down bronx, which is a good 90 minutes from me. may have just had a business opportunity brewing in my brain
every time i go to a hobby shop and ask if there is a track anywhere around, their response is alway the same; nope!
this is the one i was talking about in the bronx!! i could'nt remember the name. its far, but it looks like they take good care of it. im definately looking foward to going. are you a member? the only info i found was for the 2011 season.
i've never been, i live in ct (grew up in westchester) but have seen the thread on rctech. i can only assume that they are just starting to think about the 2012 season.
gun hill far from manhattan? crap dude i used to go to manhattan in the evening for coffee....from brookfield connecticut. lol

not far from manhattan at all, but gunhill is at one corner of NYC, and I'm just about at the other corner , not that I'm complaining. Looks like the closest there is to NYC. Maybe I'll check jersey.

i thought you were in manhattan. where are ya, bklyn?
Long Island? I raced a few times at a dirt track on LI, I think on route 110 & carpet somewhere near there too, but I can't remember where. It was almost 20yrs ago...
Sorry, when I said NYC area, I meant the 5 boros, just habbit. I'm on Staten Island.
i think there's a place called gilligans out there and long island raceway.
there's also barnstormers in chester ny, a ways from you but still not that far.
Thanks for all the track info! I'm going to look into barnstormers too, if I could just convince my wife to take a nice Sunday drive with the kids, and oops, hey look an r/c track! I just happen to have my gear with me
So whats the best April fools joke/prank you ever pulled?
My 7 & 9 year old are going to tell their mom (my ex wife) they are going to have a baby brother when she picks them up tonight.

I was going to Toronto once out of boredom, drove into the Canadian border check station with a car full of 19 & 20 year old girls 8). We had no contraband other than skimpy clothing (not me) and a couple of overnight bags that our parents wouldn't...
I’ll go first. A local Dallas radio station announced the rescheduling of the Feb 8th Solar Eclipse so that it would occur on a weekend and have better weather.
People were calling in and complaining because...

My brother put salt in the sugar bowl and told my other brother it was salt. Other brother figured THAT was the joke, proceeded to salt his Wheaties. Saturday morning slug-fest. Classic.

Got a new house and a new space. I went from a small room to an unfinshed basement, yeah! Here's a pre-setup with everyone in line.

There has been many changes since last updating this page, some buggies sold and some gained. I'll at least add this showcase pics with intensions on adding more detailed pics as time goes by.
