TRRAC @ RC Speedway

[tarheelquality]

Triangle Radio control Racing Auto Club
A new club is being planned in Durham to promote and run RC races in the Triangle area. This club would be based at RC Speedway with the posibility of haveing a few promotional races at other locations. Initial plans are to have racing every other Sunday throughout the summer racing season. We will run by ROAR rules and plan on running electric and nitro Touring to start, with the possibility open for other onroad classes and offroad racing if the interest is there. We will have AMB lapcounting, powered pit spaces, and there is on site food.

We are looking for charter members at this time. If you are interested please PM me tarheelquality, jtn, axrayed1, or NcSpeedRacer.

[bmelton]

Sunday racing, FINALLY, someone listens, see you guys at least once a month and hopefully each Sunday you race.

[tarheelquality]

Glad to hear it, We will be using the same website which should be updated as soon as a few details are finalized.

[jtn]

Let the fun begin....lol. TRRAC = Triangle RC Racing Auto Club....

Billy, I like the direction you are headed on the website. Let me know if you need help.

[NCSpeedRacer]

WoooHoooo - Here we go boys - let the fun begin

[axrayed1]

Sunday racing, FINALLY, someone listens, see you guys at least once a month and hopefully each Sunday you race.
Glade your going to come and do some racing. want to get the track back up to a place that you'll tell your friends about and get them to go race at.
Hopefully we will have race dates set by the end of the coming weekend.

[cheerwhiner]

of course you all know i am interested ;) Just let me know when people are going out. Finally graduated from NC State! My tc4 has not been driven in 3 weeks :(

[npresme]

I will be there if you guys race on the weekends I am off!

[axrayed1]

Anybody up for racing on may 29th I know that is memorial weekend but it might be a good test date to see how things will run and see what we need to change.

[Jat1120]

WOoo HOoo.. Now nickie can be even madder... Saturday and Sundays every other weekend.. Yeaaaa

[jtn]

29th probably won't work for some cause of the holiday but I am game, just to kind of start working on things.....Justin is probably gonna need to learn the PC too.

In case anyone was wondering here is the website address. http://www.thercspeedway.com/

[Jat1120]

Hey john, you guys decided on club dues yet???

[burntslapup]

hey guys went to the dirt oval regionals sunday and of course Thomas was TQ but a strange thing happened HE DID'NT WIN!!! for once he did not win a race hehe... Ne ways the late modal (touring) cars are fun to watch and look to be a blast to drive. Enter the turn with the wheels turned to the left and exit with the wheels turned to the right. drift halfway down the straight and get the car straighten just in time to do the slide again.

The 29th is fine so count me in with a nitro and maybe even elcetric. Just wondering how much entery will be and what about payout if any??

[mshap33]

great work on the website billy. may 29th is fine for me. lets get started and have some great racing with some good people. marvin

[axrayed1]

We are going to have a work day / meeting / practice saturday for all the people that wants to be in the club.
We have a lot of work to do and deside on what to do with things like the dirt track.
We also need to see who all wants to be in the club so we know were we stand.
If you want to be a part of The RC speedway and TRRAC and can't make it just let us know.
thank you Mark

[jtn]

Hey john, you guys decided on club dues yet???

Rodney and anyone else interested, if you are available this Saturday.....come on out. We are going to do some work on the track and if enough guys show we can have a meeting to discuss these and other issues. I should be out there by 8-9am.

[cheerwhiner]

if i wasn't working 10-7 on saturday i'd be out there. I am not going out on the 29th, its the Indy 500, a tradition in my Indiana family (!) But any other sunday count me IN! I really want to be involved in this club. I should be out sometime this week, I can come out Thursday afternoon and play around and get some work done if anybody else will be there. I got a cordless drill finally too for a graduation present. I still have not driven my tc4 on the new layout. Still need a good ESC but I have one that works fine and won't cut off so it will have to do me for a while.

-Tim

[tarheelquality]

I will be out at least part of the time on the 29th, probably wont race due to being oncall but will help out with getting things running. Mark, is this going to work out for the start of being oposite to Richmond? If so I like it, racing will coincide with my weekends without the kids.

[jtn]

Tom, Yes it is opposite their schedule. There site is here btw, http://www.vorra.org/
If they start supporting us we need to return the favor ;)

[axrayed1]

John's Right it's opposite richmond it's not on the same day as the wood and it I thank it even works for Anthony if I counted on my fingers right.
Man I love this a track that is run by the drivers what more could you ask for :D

[axrayed1]

Cheer congrads on being a grad and we havn't forgotten you we just knew you had a lot going on last week thats all.

[cheerwhiner]

Thanks. I am glad to see our track getting on the right foot now. Every other Sunday will be great. I just need to know the first day that it will start so i can pass the word out and get people in the correct rotation to go out there.

I won't be investing too much into r/c until i do find my "career" job, I just applied to about 5 places today, so hopefully I will get some news soon. I am not picking up anymore hours at Sears than I had when I was in school, so no more income yet. I would like to buy a real car too- no a/c in the GEO and I might be driving around this summer to visit various r/c tracks in the area!

(and I still live at home........lol.......but a nice big garage to work in...........)

[onephatcavy]

hey guys, anyone interested in starting up some offroad mini action? I would be up for it if some others would like to race minis

[sedanracer8]

sounding good guys. good work so far on the site billy. i havent been on today i actually had to work :). 29th will probably work for me too. Mark... John said yall were going out there Wednesday if so I will see you then, got a interview in morrisville at 2:30 so by the time I get out of there I will just meet up. Rodney this will just give you more chances to get outran in a months time haha.

[Jat1120]

yea...guess we'll never know as long as u keep running the opposite class as me....is som1 in denial........Guys I am loving this track. Nice to actually ask a question, and get a direct answer..

[bmelton]

Cheer- If you still need a good speedo I have a Quantum 2 that's about 6mths old, $100, looks brand new, has the "worlds" kit as well.

[Ron Zee]

John, if you need someone to show justin or anyone else for that matter, how to run the 'puter, let me know. I think I can help in that area.

And my buddy Steve says YES!!! Sunday racing!!!

[axrayed1]

hey guys, anyone interested in starting up some offroad mini action? I would be up for it if some others would like to race minis
I not sure whats going to happen with the off road track we have one big problem no way to water it so it gets very dusty so nobody has been running it on race days.

[tarheelquality]

It is fun with a mini though! Mark is right though it realy needs water and I dont know if there is anyway to get any.

[jtn]

Thanks Ron, you busy on the 29th? Maybe you could help out Justin that day.

[SpaceCowboy]

I won't be able to make this Saturday, I will be in Dayton, Ohio but I should be there for some of the 29th. Mark keep me inmind and remember what I told you.

The main thing everyone have fun.

Byron

[NCSpeedRacer]

Allright - I'm done working on the site for the night. It should be changing almost daily for a few weeks so y'all check it often for updates. I'm really stoked about this and I know this is going to be a great summer for racing in NC. In case you didn't get it earlier here it is again: www.thercspeedway.com Hope to see everybody on the 29th.

[kartrun]

Sup guys! You guys can count me in as a charter member. I'm willing to do whatever is needed. Brad

[SpaceCowboy]

I won't be able to make it this weekend, I will be in Dayton, Ohio but I will be there for at least part of the 29th.

Mark keep me posted and remember what I told you. blking@bellsouth.net

The main thing everyone have fun.

Byron

[cheerwhiner]

i just might give in and make it on the 29th if i can record the big race LOL- i know some of you have portable TVs too.

bmelton- I will buy that ESC from ya man, sent you a private message too.

[tarheelquality]

Everyone interested in being a member please send me an email in addition to posting here so that we can get a good count so we can figure the initial membership dues that will be needed to get things started and so we can put together an email list. My email is tarheelquality@verizon.net .
Thanks,
Tom

[jtn]

Hey Mark, don't forget I gave you that business card Sat. Give him a call too.

[tarheelquality]

Billy,
The site is looking great.

John, People are going to think we don't have real jobs the way we keep posting in the middle of the day :D

[jtn]

Job? what job?

[onephatcavy]

who is doing the website design? I would be interested in helping out some. Here is a simple site I made........ www.unrealdesignsgfx.cjb.net

[cheerwhiner]

um i am not at work lol! cleaning out all my crap from my parents house. anybody need some old printers that don't work? j/k Tom you have mail.

[tarheelquality]

Got it Tim, and I have a car, I even raced it at Rosewood this Weekend! Have 2 in fact and another on the way.

[cheerwhiner]

glad to hear- watch ya got? last time i saw you it was just that mini T!

[axrayed1]

So Tim, John and Billy can we put video on the website

[jtn]

yepp. Only problem may be space......anyone know how much space we have available for use?

[tarheelquality]

Tim, I have another Xray, Mark's old one

[axrayed1]

There is a missprint on the start time for the races. Racing will start at 2 o'clock

[cheerwhiner]

my sony digi cam takes video w/sound, and 5 minutes at its best quality eats up 128 megs. However I can compress/re-incode, etc. So our first outing will be on the 29th? anybody want to go out this Sunday?

[jtn]

Cheer, we will all be out there Sat....LOL.

[NCSpeedRacer]

Right now I'm doing the website. Don't really need any more help with it but thanks for offering. I'll find out how much space we have for the site. I'm sure we can put videos up depending on the file size. We'll probably have alot more free space once I finish deleting all the useless junk off the site. I plan on doing a complete redesign soon but for now I'm just updating and revising what is there.

Mark - I'll correct the start time - I didn't know we were going to 2:00 starts.

[Jat1120]

All I know is I wished I had your job john. I only get to post at lunch........

[axrayed1]

My bad Billy I had talked to some church going people and thay couldn't come out and be ready to race by 1 oclock

[NCSpeedRacer]

That's cool Mark - More time for me to sleep on Sunday mornings is a good thing.

[jtn]

lol...lunch is about the only time I am not at the computer. :cool:

[Mr. Cash]

This is cool. Glad to see the Durham track is headed back in the right direction. Even though I am doing the off road thing, I will try to come out to hang with the fellas a couple times this summer. I will also let the crew at Sandhills know that Durham is back in business so some of the racers there might make the trip to TRRAC.

[axrayed1]

John and I will be at the track tomarrow night making a list of stuff we need to do if anybody wants to come out and give there input.

[jtn]

Hey Billy - Mark, you guys have MS Publisher at home?

[axrayed1]

I'm sure I do but I'll ask my wife when I get home to make sure

[Ron Zee]

John, If the weather holds, I should be able to get there. I might even get Steve to join me in case the T-bird needs a push.

P.M. me sometime, I got a question for ya

[sedanracer8]

mark ill be out there toooooo tomorrow.. i get no credit haha. Tom go ahead and count me in Jburt899@aol.com is my email.

[burntslapup]

i'm going to be in Durham during the summer at DTCC and have class on Tues and Thurs morning and i'll be more then happy to go out to the track after school and do some work on the track just tell me what i can do and I'll try and get -r -done. oh yeah i was out there today and thought what if we took out the dirt track?? then we would have the big track back and be able to use the both again it's still set up for with the timing loop in the ground. NE ways I'll charge up the cordless drill and be there on sat see ya'll there.

[jtn]

Steven, I tend to agree but this is another one of those issues that we need to discuss as a club. Maybe we can finalize some club things this week and we can start some decision making.

[NCSpeedRacer]

John - yes I have publisher. What you up to dude?

[jtn]

what's your email address?

[NCSpeedRacer]

John - You have PM

We need to do a phone and e-mail list of all club members. Any volunteers?

[jtn]

I nominate Tom. He has already started collecting emails......hmmm.

[axrayed1]

John I don't have MS publisher.

[lowbugit]

I vote Mark shopuld get to forgo his dues and buy Publisher for his computer.

[lowbugit]

Sorry about the spelling. Been a long Day.

[axrayed1]

He leaves hay Kevin hows the new job thay working you to hard.

Looks like we are getting a list of people that want to be in the Trrac club and I know you'll want to know what membership dues will be.
We need 2,000 dollers to give Don and then another 2,000 over the summer so thats why we havn't set club dues.
So anybody that can't come out sat. please send Tom, Billy, John or myself a P.M. and we will ad you to the list that way by sunday we will have the dues set.
I hope over time we can make this the best club and track that you would want to be part of that will help the new guy as much as the top racers.
thank you
Mark :)

[tarheelquality]

Hey now , wait a minute John, Ummm, I dont, have a phone, yeah thats it...

Actually if everyone wants to send me their email and phone numbers I will be glad to do it. I just started it since I figured it was something that needed to be done so I dont mind putting it together.

[npresme]

Mark or John- I just watched some of the Vids from Roanoke. Do or will they run elec. if enough show up?

[jtn]

Anthony, I think they have been getting an electric class this year.

[axrayed1]

Anthony were did you find vids at.

[dbracin]

i'm going to be in Durham during the summer at DTCC and have class on Tues and Thurs morning.

Why are you driving to Durham when you only live 1 mile from ACC?

[cheerwhiner]

uh guys there is a chance instead of just watching the Indy 500 I might be going to the race- in person- update to come later. I mean I can just drive myself up there and have my pick of about 30 houses that my relatives live in inside Indianapolis. However I want to go the F1 race instead (or also!) but just got to see whats up. Anyway if I don't go I think I may not race the RC cars that day anyway! More to come...........

Hey nomac ever wanted to go the US Grand Prix???

[f1racefan]

Cheer, we are driving to the F1 race on Thur or Fri this year with 1 open seat.

[tarheelquality]

What go to the Indy 500 when you should be at the Coca Cola 600 instead? How could you?
Actually if I had the oppurtunity to go to Indy I would be gone.

[jtn]

Hey Brian - Rodney.......Kodak Moment....lol.

[npresme]

Anthony were did you find vids at.

Off of a link posted on the rcspeedway site.

www.vorra.org

Goto multimedia

[cheerwhiner]

ok after some consideration i probably won't go to the Indy 500. Don, thanks for the invite but if I go to the USGP I would want to visit some family and so forth.

[sedanracer8]

ya u like that dont ya haha

[cheerwhiner]

man we should have a rally class on the dirt track, just get rid of the jumps 'cause they aren't much anyway and just tear it up with rally cars. I'd be willing to do all that work if everybody agrees to that!!

we would have the ONLY rally track in the area too................... ;)

[runningmad]

check me and my son in as interested members - sent tarheelquality an email.

[burntslapup]

Dale ACC doesnt offer the finale class i need to graduate during the summer, however DTCC does and i'm ready to get out of college and not have to wait 2 somesters to do it. I wish ACC did offer the class cause i enjoyed getting up at 7:45 and be in class at 8:00. but oh well least DTCC aint as crowded as ACC, there's a total of 6 people in my class.

Rally what is Rally?? is that were you treat your Nitro TC3 like a Gt?? go ahead and have at it, and hpoe those small shocks dont blow apart. The dirt track needs one of two things either remove the track or add more dirt to whats there, the drainage pipe is starting to show in the middle of the track. Or we could start a gardening club and plants some grass and weeds :) Brian would be good at gardening He's already a pansy.

[baddtwodeebone]

LOL...the gardening club sounds like a wonderful and ecologically sound idea. Green plants to cleanse the air of the noxious fumes from nitro tourning cars????

[Jat1120]

Count me in.....rod...... NB5544@aol.com :D

[burntslapup]

Brian are you checking to make sure you have only 1 fingure up in pic?? Or to make sure it's the right fingure??

[tarheelquality]

But Badd, I like the nitro fumes! Only reason I am thinking about getting one is the wonderful smell, we cant be covering it up with a bunch of good smelling plants!

[baddtwodeebone]

Hey Billy....the site is looking good. It would be cool if the "map" had a live link to Mapquest that would automatically show a live map of our location. Then people go right to "get directions". I KNOW I've seen this done before, but don't ask me how. Any of you geeks out there know how to do this??????

[cheerwhiner]

no rally would be on a flat dirt track with touring cars basically jacked up a little bit.......

[baddtwodeebone]

Mr. Heel......you've got Verizon mail.....

[burntslapup]

jacked up touring car?? hmm na my serpents already so high it traction rolls.


but just think we could be sponcered by enviromental orgs that would support our cleaner air ways of racing by allowing the plants to go and produce fresh air, and it would also help the ozone layer and global warming. So what if there's 10 or more smoke producing 2 stroke modors (<---you happy now brian) less then 3 feet away. I'm trying to think out side the box here. :rolleyes:

[axrayed1]

John you know I got to thinking about something on the way home. I thank those GQ tires are faster my car didn't drive that good sat. and I bet if I had put them on the other car it would have drove that good too.

[sedanracer8]

moders would be correct i think. who u calling a pansy rodneys the pansy, haha at least i have my own email address and not using my girlfriends. well we went out to the track tonight and me and mark ran some nitro. that layout is fun with nitro toooo. anyways you guys are interested let tom aka tarheelquality know. we are trying to get a head count of whos in and who is not, that way we can figure what the initial membership cost is going to be. We will be talking more about it saturday at the track so if you cant be there please make sure to get your name on the list he is compiling.

[tarheelquality]

Burnt, I like global warming, I work outside and I hate cold winters :D

[jtn]

I learned one thing tonight.....the problem with White America is... :D

I may get beat up over this.....especially since I work for the Environmental Safety department at Duke.........let's get rid of the Dirt and the plants.

[sedanracer8]

i dont know some tobacco rows might make a good whoops section. we could put tomato vines for turns with a few watermelons for corner dots????

[tarheelquality]

I am all for it.
All that pretty asphalt needs to be uncovered again. I miss that long straight.

[baddtwodeebone]

I agree....let's see what's under all that dirt...anyone need free "topsoil"?

[tarheelquality]

I think that there is someone that will take it. Biggest problem will be cleaning the pavement afterward. Of course this all depends on what the club decides before we can do anything.

[tarheelquality]

Without the dirt we could bring the bleachers back over, use the timing loop that is in the pavement, put a few more turns in the layout, and maybe get the track big enough to attract some 1/8th guys.

[baddtwodeebone]

Yeah! The old setup (B4 dirt) was a good one! The guys with super-low winds loved that long straight too, and yeah...it would be long enough again for 1/8 scalers. Sounds like something we need to talk about as a group to see if a majority are in agreement.

[jtn]

I think if it is decided to remove it, we will come up with a way to clean up the pavement. We could have it out within about 2 weeks.

[dbracin]

Lose the dirt and just have all the asphalt, weather you use it or not. There are so many offroad tracks in NC right now that I doubt a small one in Durham would have many "racers" even show up.

[cheerwhiner]

yeah that sounds good, it will keep the track "clean"

[NCSpeedRacer]

I talked to the owners of HobbyMasters last night. They were VERY excited to hear about what we are doing with the track. They are also willing to help promote the track and possibly sponsor some races and the track. They want us to get this rolling so they can come check it out and if it seems first class wich I am sure it will be, they want to come aboard and be a part of whats going on. Also they gave me some prime space on their bulletin board. I am excited because I think this is gonna turn out even better than we expected. WoooooooHoooooooo. Billy

[jtn]

John you know I got to thinking about something on the way home. I thank those GQ tires are faster my car didn't drive that good sat. and I bet if I had put them on the other car it would have drove that good too.

I think your right. I noticed a big difference in the handling when I started using them too. :D

[cheerwhiner]

glad to hear Hobby Masters is interested. We need that kind of promotion.

[Jat1120]

moders would be correct i think. who u calling a pansy rodneys the pansy, haha at least i have my own email address and not using my girlfriends. well we went out to the track tonight and me and mark ran some nitro. that layout is fun with nitro toooo. anyways you guys are interested let tom aka tarheelquality know. we are trying to get a head count of whos in and who is not, that way we can figure what the initial membership cost is going to be. We will be talking more about it saturday at the track so if you cant be there please make sure to get your name on the list he is compiling.

At least I didnt spend all my money on a couch. Im whooped, but not as bad as you are!!!!

[burntslapup]

ya'll going to bring out the cars to practice, or is it just track maintance?? just wondering cause I put a new mder on the serpent and i'm excited to try it out. I might be able to keep up now. Hint: OS.18TZ :) you gotta luv it when your girl buys ya a new car. beats the crap out of a couch

[axrayed1]

I figer we'll work till about on or two or until we get the track back together then we can cut lose.
So you got a ntc3 now is that for the dirt.

[nomac]

is the dirt gonna go? cool! LET THE RACING BEGIN!!!!

[Ron Zee]

You remove the dirt, be careful you don't "dig" to hard or you may mess up the tar underneath. I would suggest only flat, square edged shovels for use here. No pick axes or things like that. And no, I don't have a bobcat anymore.

[tarheelquality]

Yeah, I have only had one person that was interested in runnng on the dirt contact me.

You know after watching Mark and Bryan run their nitro cars last night, I went out today and ran my xray with a stock motor, Now I have to get a Nitro! Damn you Mark for making my car look so slow!

[Ortiz]

looks like Mark Virus is spreading all over the state!

[tarheelquality]

Yep, at least he hasn't had the 1/8th out, I couldn't afford that disease.

[npresme]

If everyone is wanting to go so fast...why want any of you run Mod.???

I mean at Rosewood the Stk. electrics lap times are just as fast as the gas. So Mod. will give you that "speed" that you only see on the straight.

[tarheelquality]

I am still getting my stuff together in stock, right now nitro would probably be more fun than racing, also I have 3 stock motors and the only mod I have is a 6 turn hich would be fine if I was trying to run with the nitro guys.

[axrayed1]

Hopefully there will be some mod run in durham. I was running a mod at the wood last week when you and I was prac. Anthony and I still couldn't keep up with you.

[jtn]

My Pro 4 seemed to drive better with a 10 turn in it. So, I will run Mod if there is a class.

[cheerwhiner]

wish i didn't trade that motor to nomac.......lol

well i am 100% sure I am not going to the Indy 500 but I may not do the R/C thing though....

[tarheelquality]

John,
Should I order a 10 turn? Sounds like Mod may be the way to go, especially if we get rid of the dirt that is going to be a long straight.

[NCSpeedRacer]

Ha yall - check out the new maps on the website and let me know what ya think. I also took out some more junk and changed navigation bar a little. I should have it straight in a week or so. On the 29th I hope to get a bunch of new pictures to put up.

I need some setup suggestions - I thought the car was good in practice but I was getting smoked through the turns last week at the wood during the races. I think I need more grip on the front. Maybe Mark or John can drive it around tomorow and offer some pointers. I can't have my son outrunning me. That's just not cool. :D

[axrayed1]

I'll help you if I can on your setup I don't know what you are looking for but some body might be able to help

[NCSpeedRacer]

Speed -that's all I am looking for - Speed

[tarheelquality]

That's all that any of us want, we're just a bunch of speed junkies!

[henryj]

Hey Billy, looked like Will had the speed this past Sat.! He was driving really well too, if you don't cut tight lines it does'nt matter how much speed you got!

[nomac]

SPEED! gotta have it!!!

[Ron Zee]

"speed is just a question of money. How fast can you afford to go?"

[NCSpeedRacer]

I can't afford to go fast at all - but I'm trying.
Ha Pete - long time no see buddy.

[npresme]

"speed is just a question of money. How fast can you afford to go?"


I disagree! You just have to spent the money in the right place... And you don't have to take out a second mortgage to be fast. Just shop around and buy the BEST YOU can afford.

Ron I know you see it.....

I can name a few ppl at Rosewood who are throwing money at anything and everything and still can't get around the track. I have ppl buy different kits every few weeks and motors and Batteries every couple of weeks and still haven't improved......

The best thing anyone can do is FREE......... PRACTICE!!!!!!

[npresme]

But with the practice make it a quality practice. Try changing things on the car to see how this change works or what that change did.

Don't go out there with your buddy and beat each other in the pipes, try to run each other clean, practice passing CLEAN and running close to each other without taking one another out.


That is far more important than having a 7 turn and 1.19 batteries that you spent $200 on.

[cheerwhiner]

that is what i need to do a bunch of i think- practice.

[burntslapup]

the NTC3 will be for the dirt but i'm going to use it for some on-road racing to. Dale's going to run it on the 29th with us. plus if the serpent happens to let me down then i'll still have another nitro i can run. I put the moder from i was running in the serpent into the ntc3 and that thing huals, but if it's cool with you mark i'd like to use your setup board on sat and get everything even on the car, just driving it up and down the street showed that it was out of tweek.

does anyone have a FM receiver that they would like to sell, mine fried yesterday and I dont have a back up. I can still run but I'm having to use the stock radio that came with the GT, and it's not the best in the world.

NE ways i'll have a electric drill and sawz-all at durham tomorrow ready to work and get that place up to order. HEHE i'm excited that a track close to home is making a come back. :)

[dbracin]

Ha yall - check out the new maps on the website and let me know what ya think.:D

I checked out the map and I think it's wrong. The track is on the access road that runs beside Hwy 70. That map has the track on the wrong street. :confused:

[NCSpeedRacer]

dbracin - the main entrance to the track is actually on Hoover Rd.

I'd have to agree with Anthony on the practice thing. Practice is the one thing that helped me more than any setup change. The thing is - I think I can go faster. I just need the car to cooperate with me a little better. I've changed some things and the car has gotten faster. Just need it a little faster entering turns to keep from getting passed . If I slow down enough to cut the turn tight I usually get rear ended.

[nomac]

cheer..you always seem to practice well. your lines are clean and respectable. it's just something about that rush you get when it's time for the show. just try and relax...and remember, preperation is key. anything that can go wrong will. sometimes time catches up with us before the main, but if you can stay a step or two ahead of the clock...you'll see some KILLER results in the show.

[cheerwhiner]

yeah i think by having some other cars to play around with hurts me, so next time it will just be the race car that i bring until we are completley done.

[baddtwodeebone]

Yeah, Cheer...those are words to live by. That's all I'm doing these days too. One vehicle, period...and lottsa spare parts!! 'Course...if I DID happen to own a Nitro car too, that would be a different story...

[tarheelquality]

How did things go at the track today? Wish I could have been there, Birthday party for Jonathan and I still have a house full of kids spending the night.

[axrayed1]

Every thing went good today we did change the layout. Thanks to marvin we have all new wood for the layout. We have back rail on the drivers stand.
Marvin, Billy, Will and I are going out after lunch tomarrow for some practice.


Thanks to everybody that came out today and worked :)

[tarheelquality]

Any pictures of the new layout? Any further decisions made about the club? I will try to catch yall at the track tomorrow.

[sedanracer8]

good job everyone today on the new layout. i know i got there at 10 and the old wood was coming up. we started unloading new wood at 10:30 and at around 2:30 the track was clear and all new boards up around the track. thats pretty good. new layout is even more fun than the last one. i beleive billy got some pics for the website.

[npresme]

[tarheelquality]

Everything looks great! much cleaner and neater. now just need to do something about the dirt.
Did Don come by with the lap counter yesterday?

[m3ndo5a]

Where ia this track?

[m3ndo5a]

Where is this track? oops :rolleyes:

[jtn]

Terell, The track is just off of 70 near where it meets up to 85 in Durham. Coming from Raleigh you can take 40 to Miami Blvd which will run into 70. Or actually if your in Raleigh it might be better to come across 540 to 70.

Here is a map to the track - http://www.thercspeedway.com/directions.htm

[m3ndo5a]

Thanks John

[cheerwhiner]

track looks great. i plan on coming out some during the week to check it out. Couldn't come today, moving big stuff at home and honestly I didn't feel like driving anywhere today

[bmelton]

This may have been asked earlier, if so I apologize.

How will the club "dues" work? Is this an upfront fee to be a club member, and then there is no charge for "club" races, OR is there an upfront fee and entry fees for each bi-weekly race.

Brandon

[tarheelquality]

Up front anual fee then club members have a reduced entry fee is how we are planning it now. Of course once the club is going everyone has a vote that joins.

BTW anyone that wants to join that has not contacted me directly please do so, I have been getting information from Mark and John about other people that are interested but I do not have contacts for everyone and I would really like to have emails for everyone interested so that I can keep everyone updated.

My email is tarheelquality@verizon.net

Thank you,
Tom Pearson

[bmelton]

Thanks for the explanation. For the race this Sunday the 29th, do you have to be a member or is it open to all racers until the club is formed. Thanks in advance.

[jtn]

Brandon, All races will be open to anyone. The way I think we will be working this is non-members will pay a $15 race fee and members will be $10.

[tarheelquality]

Hey John, Missed you out there today, you missed a chance to see my car go silly fast for according to Billy "2 2/3" laps. Put a 6 single in and when it finaly hit broke the solder joint on the battery and flung it out along with a front arm. Big fun man!

[axrayed1]

Had fun practicing today think we're going to have some fun this summer.
We will have more green stuff to put up this weekend should have enough to finesh the inside walls

[tarheelquality]

Hey Mark,
Think we could line the walls at the end of the staights with pillows? :D

[axrayed1]

Tom I thank I have it figered out to have soft walls in the bad spots of the track. But if you would just let off of the trigger when your supposted to you'd be ok :p

[tarheelquality]

It wasn't letting off the trigger so much as not clamping on the brake! My reflexes were a little behind that motor but I plan on trying it again, that speed was just too much fun!

[Ron Zee]

Are you still needing my help with the computer this weekend? Just wondering.

[bmelton]

Brandon, All races will be open to anyone. The way I think we will be working this is non-members will pay a $15 race fee and members will be $10.

Cool, see you guys this Sunday :D .

[astainback]

Hey guys, I got the radio equipment to get the NTC3 up and going. Hope to come out there and give some competition!!

(remember, I have NEVER driven a touring car!!!)

hahaha

adrian

ps.. Tom, I sent you an email.

[jtn]

Are you still needing my help with the computer this weekend? Just wondering.

Ron, I think we got it covered. Thanks.

[axrayed1]

But Ron come and race and we still might need your help

[jtn]

Yeah, that is what I meant too. We have someone to run the system but would be nice to have you there if we run into any problems.

[cheerwhiner]

I can't join.....yet. Need to take care of some health insurance coverage bull sh i t before i know how much I can spend $$$ However, IF I do come out this Sunday, I will race with whatever entry fee is appropriate.

[NCSpeedRacer]

Thanks to everyone who came out this weekend to help with the track. The track looks great and drives great. We had a very fun time Sat. and Sunday working and practicing. It's gonna be a great summer at the rc speedway. I hope everyone comes out this Sunday for our season opening race.

[cheerwhiner]

looking at the website- what did you all do with the old material that was in the infield? just trash it? LOL!! I see new wood on the track........ it looks very clean and nice. Good work guys.

[astainback]

So what is the verdict on the offroad track?

I have my miniT and my Tmaxx in the car right now... shipping them off tomorrow on a trade for a Savage. I have the MGT for handling and durability and getting a Savage for air time!! haha

I pulled out the book for my NTC3 today, time to mount up some servos. I just wanted to ask what kind of enging you guys usually run in the 1/10th scale TCs?? It has the stock .12 in it, but i was thinking about getting a 2 speed module and a faster engine and pipe for it. (along with a starter box).

What are the rules for engines, tires, and bodies??
Also, what kind of transponder should I order?? I want to get one that I can use in my trucks as well if I ever get to race them.

thanks,
adrian

[tarheelquality]

You need the standard AMB personal transponder, with one of those you should be able to race just about anywhere. As for rules we are going by roar rules check hereRoar (http://www.roarracing.org/pdfs/2005rules3.21.05.pdf)
You wil need acrobat reader.
Hope that helps.
Also it looks like the decision is to pull the dirt out per the majority of the people planning to join the club.

[cheerwhiner]

yeah, even if you don't expand the track to use that area, at least it will keep the track from getting dirty/muddy!

[burntslapup]

Roar rules?? Crap that means my .18 TZ aint legal.:( Oh well I just stick a .12 head on it and call it a 12 with a attitude.

[dbracin]

Burntslapup- give me a call or email me at dbracin@hotmail.com, I need to get up with you before this weekend. I have softball games tuesday and thursday, so try wed or fri.

[axrayed1]

[CWhat are the rules for engines, tires, and bodies??
Also, what kind of transponder should I order?? I want to get one that I can use in my trucks as well if I ever get to race them.

thanks,
adrian

Adrian By roar you run a sedan body run foam tires on nitro cars and a .12 3port engine.
That way when people come to the track thay know what to expect and when you go to another track you will be legel.
Mark

[dbracin]

What are the rules for engines, tires, and bodies??

thanks,
adrian

Your roar legal on all that, bring it and race it ....... :cool:

[cheerwhiner]

went by hobbymasters today 'cause i had to go to crabtree- i saw a very nice looking flyer for the club. very nice indeed!!

[axrayed1]

man sense Brian S went to work there sure isn't any talking going on.

[Jat1120]

and your complanining???

[axrayed1]

I haven't had anybody to pick on.

[NCSpeedRacer]

Awe - Mark's bored. Just cause Brian is working don't mean you can't pick on him. :D

Got all the new track picks up on web site for you viewing pleasure. Would have had them up sooner but the server was giving me trouble on Monday.

[axrayed1]

Billy the track pic section just says coming soon on my computer does that mean the next thing it will say is this pic is being formated to fit your screen. :D

[NCSpeedRacer]

They are under Track Pictures - the other gallery is reserved for race pictures wich we will be taking on Sunday. :rolleyes:

[jtn]

ya know....come to think of it.......I have been getting more work done since he started working too.

[axrayed1]

I thought was the wet T shirt page

[Ron Zee]

So, do I bring the TC4 or the F-1's? What about the Micro?

[NCSpeedRacer]

Wet T-shirt page coming July 1st - stay tuned :D

[axrayed1]

Ron bring your tc4.

John I got your shirt today

[jtn]

yeah but guess what? I noticed the one I have is already an xxl too.

[axrayed1]

yeah but guess what? I noticed the one I have is already an xxl too.
now you tell me

[Mr. Cash]

Last year when we were trying to get the track going, I created this logo for Triangle R/C which would work also for TRRAC. If you want to use on the web site, go ahead. If not, it won't hurt my feelings. Give me your e mail address NCSpeedRacer and I will send it to you. It looks good as a racing decal.

[sedanracer8]

blah blah blah i hear yall talking junk. i cant help i livened the place up when i was on all the time, haha. im getting ready for sunday and eventually ill get the cars ready. got me a 2nd interview with a company tomorrow morning so hope that works out i need some good news this week, after yesterday when a lady rearended my car on the way to work and the screen on my phone went blank and has to be fixed or replaced :eek:

[burntslapup]

cry me a river, if you would of been using your rear veiw mirror for something other then putting on make-up then maybe you would have seen her coming. As for your phone, have you look in the bathroom mirror lately?? and you wounder why it went black. :)

[burntslapup]

Wet T-shirt page hehe it'll be a toss up between john and ron. I'm only a B cup so I'll take 2nd but it'll come down to sex appeal with those two.

[sedanracer8]

u just like having someone to pick on, thats ok ill take care of u and your tz .18 sunday. its going to take something bigger than that for u too even be a field filler haha

[dbracin]

[QUOTE= its going to take something bigger than that for u too even be a field filler [/QUOTE]

Becarefull cause I resemble those remarks......... :o

[burntslapup]

Dale when you told me your up before the rooster crows i thought you were joking but 5:00 AM i dont even think my alarm clock knows that number.

Brian what ever happened to the field fillers union?? I know you havent moved up to a feild leader so just hush up and follow the rest like i good little boy.

[jtn]

I dunno what's worse......Brian and Steve picking on each other or the dumb **** you see on ebay..... Maybe this would help these two get faster... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1200&item=5978010297&rd=1

[NCSpeedRacer]

John - that guy is an idiot. Being that stupid should be illegal.

[Ron Zee]

what time are you planning on getting started this Sunday,,,,

[tarheelquality]

I think racing is going to start at 2pm. You going to be there Ron?

[burntslapup]

LMAO that's to funny john. Hey maybe we can put a picture Brian on eBay and maybe eBay will pay us to end the auction early. It just might work. :)

[Ron Zee]

Well, I was going to try to at least show up to help out with the 'puter. Might stay long enough to run the TC4. Depends on the "family" thing.

[tarheelquality]

John mostly figured out the 'puter tonight but I would say that some help making sure we have it right would not be turned down Sunday.

I think it is going to be a good day of racing Sunday, everyone come on out!

[npresme]

John you comming to the Wood Sat.??? I need you to DO ME A BIG FAVOR!! LOL

[BLBncsu]

Just curious but did the new track layout help get rid of that "bump" that is at the end of the straight as you are going into the first turn? That thing was always spinning me out.
I'd like to come out there on Monday hopefully and run the car for a bit around the new set-up.

[SpaceCowboy]

Mark can you call me this evening? I need to talk to you about something bad.

919-233-9233

Thanks

Byron

[jtn]

John you comming to the Wood Sat.??? I need you to DO ME A BIG FAVOR!! LOL
Yeah, I will see you there.

[SpaceCowboy]

Well fellows it is with regret and sadness I announce that The Race Factory will be closing as of June the 5th. To much overhead and poor attendance of the slot races have done the racing program and Jack in. What does that have to do with this forum you might ask. Jack has asked me to make some of you who have supported him and The Race Factory aware of what he has left at some good prices.

Alot of Mini-T parts, a good selection of them are aluminum, a large amount of Mini-T bodies and a very few parts for other RC cars also. All at 25 to 50% off. Also has two of The Mamba Brushless setups for the Mini-T at a very good price. Here is a list of the new RC RTRs he still has:

All new
1 Stadium Maxx Nitro
3 Mini-T Pros
1 Micro RS4
5 Mini-Zs
1 Losi XXXs

1 Calandra Carpet Knife Ver 3.1 KIT

And 1 Used Savage nitro also at a good price

Several bottles of break-in fuel and several new nitro bottles.

Like I said I am sorry to see Jack close but we wanted you who have supported him to get the first shot and getting things at a good price before it goes on ePay. call Jack at 919-460-8797 if you have any questions about anything. Leave a message if you get the machine or send me an email if you can't get him and I will find out what is up.

Thanks for looking and hope to see you Sunday at TRRAC.

Byron

[JimmyMac]

That sucks. I know indoor carpet tracks are hard to keep during spring/summer periods. But I thought the slots was his main thing to keep him goin. It was a very nice and clean place too. Sorry to hear that. I was hoping to get back out there when work slowed down here.

Anyways, speaking of work.... I have to work Sunday... again... I see Tom said racing will start at 2pm? I may try to make it out there after work just to watch the mains if I can. If not.. oh well hehe.. Someone take plenty of pictures for me.

Well hope to make it out there sometime. Go race and have fun!!!

[astainback]

Is the race on for tomorrow?? I am getting ready to head over to Hobby Masters and pick up some parts for the NTC3.

Yes, Come on out. We are going to do some track maintenance will be from 8-9am. Practice is from 9-1:30pm. Registration will be from 11-1pm. We will be doing track maintenance and a drivers meetin from 1:30-2. Racing will start at 2pm.

[axrayed1]

I have some more green stuff for the track.
i'm going toi try to get as much as I can get up in the morning could use help if anybody can come out early.

[jtn]

Forgot to mention that the computer will be setup during practice so you will be able to get lap times.

[Ron Zee]

Well, got home tonight and was told the water pump on the old farts car went out, so guesswho got tapped to fix it? Hopefully I'll get it done in the morning and still have enough time to get out there. TC4 ran pretty good today at the Wood. I hope it does as good out here like my old TC3 used too.

[jtn]

Ron, come on out. We can add you in whenever you get there.

[bmelton]

Forgot to mention that the computer will be setup during practice so you will be able to get lap times.

Awesome, a track that realizes what racers want, but then again, you guys are racers, lol. See you in the morning, I'm riding up with Marvin and Reggie.

[LEADFOOT]

Hey guys.

I did some bodies for this kid for free. He said he was looking for a sponsor and was a webmaster at r c x o t i c , blah, blah, blah.....

whatever...

Anyway, he is selling the bodies I painted here (http://rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?t=73546) $40 each

The one green one is in this month's paint contest in this forum and is also on my homepage. I don't know about the handling characteristics, but they are definitely different. You guys goin' up to NJ can enter it in the Concourse :D

[astainback]

Is there going to be anyone out there that I can rent a transponder from??

[tarheelquality]

Hey guys, I'm not going to make it today or if I do it will be latejust got home from work and excepting about an hour I have been at work since 1130 am yesterday. Have fun and let me now how it goes. One of my buddies from work that used to race in the old days in the 80's is going to try to drop by, named Tommy Miller, he seems interested in getting back into rc so make sure you talk things up to him.
See yall
Tom

[astainback]

I had a problem with my car. It was not ready for racing this morning. After doing some work to the servo horns, and setting up the new radio.. all is well.
I will be test driving it today, and I will DEFINATELY be there next time.

adrian

[SpaceCowboy]

Well eventhough I didn't make one lap in the main I still had a good time. Learned a few things also. Hope it picks up even more in the future and see everyone next time.

Byron

[tarheelquality]

Hey,
Had a great time for the short while I was there and I didn't even race! Great bunch of guys there and while not a huge turnout it was pretty good for a first race and on a holiday weekend. See everyone there in 2 weeks, sounds like there will be a big nitro turnout lets make sure electric is well represented too.
Tom

[NCSpeedRacer]

Just Wanted to thank everyone who came out for our first race of the season. There was some very close racing in both Nitro and Electric. We had a few small issues with the lap count computer but thats to be expected untill we get it all figured out. We should have everything running smooth by the next race. It looks like TRRAC is off to good start for 2005.

[sedanracer8]

had fun today even though i didnt get to run very many laps :). one exhaust pipe and two servos i gave up and packed my stuff, just wasnt my day i guess. but its okay cause stevens day was still worse. oh well congrats to all the winners. brandon was fast like always in stock and mark was on rails in nitro all day long. honestly the most consistent i have seen him be. :) good run man. justin did a good job on the puter for the first time out. billy thanks for posting the results so quickly. all in all not a good day for me personally but a good start for the TRRAC club. I will be selling my JR XS3 radio if anyone is interested, have 2 of the synthesized receivers. If anyone locally is interested let me know soon or its going on ebay. also if anyone is interested in a 12th scale that is also going on ebay soon. possibly the ntc3 too minus all of marks parts haha. im thinking of getting a new one.

[cheerwhiner]

indy 500 was too good to pass up sorry guys, i will be out next time though!

any glitching to report? Has it gotten better with the new layout? Are most people running takeOff 32s now? I need a couple of things before next race (besides practice)

Anybody wanting to practice THIS Sunday? I never have to work on Sunday again. :D

[axrayed1]

Well had fun today guys thanks to all that came out today.
It was nice to see Branden out racing even tho I did try to start his car on my starter box.
was nice having John from VORRE there today.
All and all I thank every thing went very smooth for TRRAC's first race I hope that it only gets better from here on.

[BLBncsu]

Anybody going to be out there today to do some practicing or just run the cars around the track?

[tarheelquality]

I was thinking about it, what time were you planning on going?

BTW I just noticed, I am finaly a Senior member, Woohoo!

[reginald68]

I was thinking about it, what time were you planning on going?

[nomac]

had a great time this sunday. mark...thanx for the 'ponder rental. sees now i gotta get another one if i'm to be racing back home again. :D
my modar man was m.i.a. again, so stephen stepped up to the plate. (hey benesh...the MVP didn't run as crappy as you'd promise..LOL). had the car handled better, i would have probably cracked the top 3. but will, rod, and brandon were absolute bullets!!!
hard to beleive it was the same will who hardly got around the track last year without wreckin! good job!! but i plan to get more practice time and R&D. need to see what the latest trix are for the chassis's. from the looks of things...seems like the HPI big guns swaped out for thinner chassiss. but we'll see. push come to shove...i'll just bring out the 'ole trusty TC3. THEN things will get interesting! ;)

[axrayed1]

No prob Pete
I would like to thank Justin and Jerry for running the races for the club yesterday. I would also like to thank all the guys that stepped up to the plate and made TRRAC real yesterday.
Mark

[mshap33]

If that's the biggest computer problem you had, consider it a success. I have seen larger races with experienced staff have alot worse problems, I don't think it bothered anyone there.

Had a great time seeing everyone and racing. It is a great track for side by side racing, as Rod and Reggie proved, awesome race guys, it had to be a blast, it was to watch anyway, lol.

Great job to justin on the scoring, awesome first day. I will see everyone in 6 weeks, I will be racing in NJ next time, and then the weekend after that is my wedding :eek: . Take care.

Brandon

[BLBncsu]

I went out there today for a bit to race around my RS4 3SS and had nothing but problems with it. Broke a C-Hub, nuts on the wheels wouldn't stay on at all, bent a dog-bone, and then broke another C-hub. And i didn't even hit anything! Well the course layout sure is nice and I hope that I can make out to a race one day or meet some of you all. Its been busy for me moving and doing wedding stuff.

[Jat1120]

Well guys I was wrong, you can have fun racing. It just takes a few months to start having fun.......Thanks to all my sponsors sunday. I couldnt have been 15 secs behind brandon w/out ya.. lol john....I know I know..not the power, its the handling and driving...welll guess what, I finally freaking agree with ya.. I can't wait till next time to do it again.. oh yea and thanks to will and the rest of the stock class for the clean and respectful racing....Very good for promoting the track.....

[sedanracer8]

hmmm respectful. i didnt know u could spell anything that big. i know we went to the same high school haha. good run yesterday, not too bad for hand me down tires that u got. ill probably break out the pro 4 next time though and show u whats up. haha call me i need to tell ya something

[Ron Zee]

Sorry, like i thought, the family thing reared it's ugly head so I ended up staying around the house all day.

If you want some help on the 'puter stuff, let me know and next weekend at the WOOD, I can show you a few "tricks" to that silly Autoscore software.

[jtn]

It's ok Ron. Just make it out to race with us next time. I think I got the software under control now.

FYI - Beginning with our next race and every race afterwards we will be randomly setting up the heats, and then there will be a Re-Sort for the 3rd round.

Glad everyone had a good time. I will pass the compliments on to Justin and Jeri. Hopefully we can find a PA system for us soon too.
See everyone on the 12th. Mark and I are heading south this weekend.

Mark, thanks again. Had a great time.

[Ron Zee]

the one we're useing outside at the WOOD is one I bought for Nahunta R/C way back when and sold to Glenn. I got it at Radio Shack and I think they're still around 50-60 bucks.

[axrayed1]

I'll go to radio shack and check on one this week I don't want anybody to lose there voice calling out lap times.
Ron wish you had of come thank you would have had a good time.

What kind of transponder do I need to get?? I found one on Tower for 49 bucks from Team Orion.

Do they take some kindof crystal.. or do they relay your frequency for distiguishing your vehicle?? I know nothing about them.

thanks,
adrian

You have to have an AMB personal transponder. The Orion one will not work. Here is a link with a pic of what you will need.

Just to let you know. I was looking at the AMB web site and the transponders cost $89 plus shipping new. Just so you want spend to much on ePay. Here is the web site address if you want to look at them,

I think you can also pick them up at some local shops. Thunder Alley in Wilson carries them for $89 and I think Glenn carries them at Rosewood for around the same price.
