rosewood R/C Raceway in Goldsboro NC

[Ron Zee]

Seeing as the other thread was getting so long, I thought it was time to start a new one. For any who don't know, Rosewood is in Goldsboro NC and as of right now, has an indoor offroad track. We use the latest AMBrc lap counting system along with the latest version of Autoscore eace management software.
Right now, we've gone back to running every other week, with the next race on the 23rd of March. Hope to see you all there!!!:cool:

[JimmyMac]

Too Long? You Crazy? That's why they have pages! Not like lame Trinity that goes on and on til they delete your forums because they don't like/allow you to post local track chat! :p Anyways..... I was gonna rename it to being that Rosewood is suppose to have a new Asphalt Track built. So this will be both an OFF-ROAD and ON-ROAD RaceWay. Well for those who want a picture of the off-road indoor track here it is. Don't forget that the ROAR Region 3 race will be here at Rosewood Raceway come May 18th!

Here's the track....

[JimmyMac]

Let's try again....

[JimmyMac]

Heres one of the Stock Truck races....

[LEADFOOT]

lol:)

look how nice and pleasant the track looks!...


WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?!?!?

[JimmyMac]

That was before it was "hard packed." I dunno what they are gonna do for the Roar Regional in May, but I hope the rutts and bumps are fixed or I won't expect at Regional to be held back here again. Not knocking the hometown track. It's nice and all. People are great! Just needs some fixing for such a big race. Gonna be hard though with all the "cemet" in there hehe. :p But hey, the track is clean! Don't have to worry about muddy tires! :D Anyways, see yall next race!

[Part-time]

The track is called off-road for a reason. If it's too bumpy for you why not race carpet. I think that the bumps are what makes it fun. You have to dial in your truck just right. It's not like the track is loose dirt. Like you said earlier it has concrete in it. The only changes in the surface that may need fixin' are the potholes before and after the table-top.:D

[Ron Zee]

Hmmm, bumpy conditions,,, sounds like offroad to me too, but there are a few that need sprucing up. I for one though can hardly wait for the onroad track to get built. 2 touring cars, a Mini Z, a Micro, Legends, and 2 pan cars. I think just maybe there might be a class for me to run in,,,,:cool:

[Ron Zee]

Jimmy, I'll be up in VA this weekend so let me know whats up with racing at the beach. Chris Johnson has shown an interest in going too. You might want to get ahold of him althogh, I can't seem to find his number. He lives in Mount Olive or out there somewhere,,,,

Anyhow, E-mail me at QJS2@msn.com before too long so I can get the directions from you.

[Ron Zee]

either that or the ronzee@hotmail.com one,,,

[Part-time]

Hey Tarheel, any word on sponsores or big names that might come to the regionals?

[npresme]

The only big name ppl that will be there are the same guys you race with on a weekly basis! There maybe a few that you may not have seen before!

ROAR rules state that you can not run outside of your region unless you do not run the mains!! This means for someone to come from say region 2 they would pay Entry fee EX. $35 for three qualifiers then have to go home!!

So no FRANCIS, KINWALD or any of those guys!
ONLY TEAM HAMMER!!

Good luck to everyone!

[JimmyMac]

I know it's offroad, and I DO race carpet. Just for a big race, the nice tracks seem to be the smooth ones with nice jumps. I'll be there regardless. Hmm and I was wondering about that Region deal. Kinda sucks, but I guess it's why we are in Regions. Too bad for the Viginia crew that comes down here.

Anyways, Ron, show up at Virginia Beach at 10am. Take exit 17a (Independence Blvd NORTH). Adress is 1067 and it's located within the HAYGOOD Shopping Center. Phone number is 757 464-4140. Racing starts at Noon! I'll be there!! If you have your own pit table, bring it!

Jimmy Mac

[Dougefresh]

When in May is the Roar Regionals? Is it a one or two day race? Will there be practice during the week before the Regionals? Sounds like it will be a great race. What tires are you guys running now that it is hard packed (truck). Does anybody out there have a 4wd (I have a XX4 I have been dying to run, lol). Thanks guys.

[JimmyMac]

May 18th. So far it's just a 1 day race. I think there "might" be a practice during the week or the day before. We are racing this Saturday "hint hint." It will become a 2 day event if there are too many people signed in to race that Saturday. More info can be had by calling the track. The number is in the Track Directory on this Website (RCCA.) Oh yeah, as far as tires, hmmmm right now it's mostly Holeshots rear and whatever up front hehe. I run the Losi uhhh damn, forget what they were.. 8 rib thingies. Hmmmm I'll have to check see again Saturday. Come on out and Race!

Jimmy Mac

[Dougefresh]

Thanks Jimmy. Are they still racing every other Saturday? You are racing this weekend March 23rd, so the next race will be April 6th, then April 20th, etc? I have wanted to make it up there, but it is hard when you have to work most weekends. I have to plan things wayyyy in advance. The May 18th race is looking good for me. I see that they have a great stock truck turnout. Thanks again.

Doug T.

[JimmyMac]

Yes, it is every other Saturday. I'll be there tomorrow. But more than likely I'll be putting my truck together again at the track like that last race. Just too busy at home ta do it. Oh well, who needs practice when you are Superman!! See yall there!

[Ron Zee]

Okay Jimmy, we went and saw the movie after the race. So,,, what's up for Sunday? Chris?? Anyone???? How come when I paste the results into Fantoms results, it always comes out right, but in here, it never seems to line up right??:confused:

[JimmyMac]

I dunno, the results look good to me... well not my results haha :D I had a terrible run! I don't know what's up tomorrow. Nothing on my schedule. Maybe I'll fiddle with my old Yokomo. Plus I guess I'm no longer XXX-Sexy... hehe. I'll have to thing of something different for a TC3. Hmmmmm I dunno. Depends if I wake up tomorrow during the day or not. hehe. Anyways, call me. I'll email my number to ya again. Time to scout out some TC3 setups.........

Jimmy Mac

[Part-time]

Ron thanks for posting the results. Ok I have made a comment to Kilruf about the track surface and it being off-road and all. BUT I must agree after the condition of the track this weekend, WELL lets just say ?????????????????????? is it going to be a hard sticky surface or a softer loose surface? I don't think this hard loose thing works. Mybe its time to allow for some track prep time??? I wish I could help out but theres that wotk thing that always gets in the way. Can you say WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD exposure on the triple. OUCH:D

[MrBill]

I would love to run on the track that is in those pictures.

Its a wonder someone hasn't broken a chassis on that exposed railroad tie in the triple.
But, I guess its more money in the shop owners pocket if someone does.

BTW, How many of the drivers want the outdoor track converted to asphalt? Everyone I've talked to at the track thinks its a shame to see the offroad go.

[JimmyMac]

I can't wait to see the asphalt track come in. But who knows when that will happen. So much is goin on right now with indoor track (Regional). So I have no clue when it'll be done. I think that he just needs some help tearing down the track and it would be done soon. Plus he's selling alot of on-road cars at his shop with people asking where to race them. Doesn't really matter to me if he builds one there or not. I have plenty of places to race asphalt. Just would be nice to have something local. Plus you can race Any RC car on asphalt.

Oh, and about the off-road outdoors, alot of people that race at Rosewood indoors didn't race the outdoor track. Maybe a few here and there that raced every once and awhile. But it was pretty dead when I started racing there last year. Maybe 4-6 stock trucks, 4-6 1/8 gas, and 1-3 gas trucks. Sometimes the gas trucks would have to race with the stock electric trucks. But who knows. I don't own it. I just race there every race day. :D Indoors is pretty popular, but then again it's/was winter season.

Anyways, see yall out at Rosewood next, next weekend. Then at Chapel Hill that Sunday. 60+ racers there! XXX-S has been sold (money talks)... so it's time to start Shaften People!!

Jimmy Mac

[RodneyRacer]

Hey everyone

I just wanted to pop in here and tell ya that the food is covered for the regional race mom is planning for lots of people and if you were at the Bash race you know just how good the eats were, she does plan on a little more variety too. Hope to see you all there bring your race cars and hungry selves out for the fun!!!!

Thanks Rodney

[Ron Zee]

I for one am sort of sad to see the outdoor track go bye-bye, BUT, then again, I'd rather run my touring cars during the summer than the truck. Think of it, when Glenn would water the track, by the time he got finished, where he started out at was now dry. And if you water it enough for it to not dry out, your running in mud. It's a pain to keep up. I was out there pulling up weeds last year, thats a pain!. Not to mention the track surface itself. No more raking, filling in holes, muddy tires and trucks, dirt getting into my motors, all that sort of stuff. Cleaner cars, equipment, less hassles, why not do it? Yes, I do like offroad, but I have maybe a little more fun on road courses without jumps and ruts. :cool:

[Ron Zee]

Okay, this is an off weekend so if anyone out there really wants to work on the track this weekend, call Glenn and tell him so. Or call him to find out when the next "repair" day might be. The more people willing to volenteer, the more likely it'll happen! One guy running a hobby shop and very few people willing to help out, makes it hard to get anything done.:cool:

[Part-time]

I'm sure that alot of us would like to help, but lets face it time is money. Now if glenn wants to pay a days labor to work on the outdoor track lets talk. I'm out of ajob right now and volenteering doesn't put food in my families mouth.:D Please don't get me wrong I don't mind helping out with the maintenance on the indoor if I dont have anything lined up this wed. And I'm sure your asking your self whats the dif. Well out side will be alot of work and inside just a little.;) ;) :D :p

[Part-time]

Happy Easter !!! :)

[JimmyMac]

Hey Ron, ya ready for Chapel Hill next Sunday? My "shaft" is ready to roll! Superman is ready to fly! :D Hey, does your TC3 oneway still work or did you destroy it? Just wondering if you'd like to trade it for my new 300M body. My Stratus is done. Not as good as it could have been, but it's still done. Anyways, see yall at Rosewood Saturday! Oh yeah, and I think they race Mooresville Touring Car on Saturdays now with the Oval guys. Not sure yet. But I'll find out. Catch yall later!

Jimmy Mac

[tarheelquality]

Kilruf,
Where else do you run touring besides Va. and Chapel Hill? Any permanent courses around? I have a weeks vacation in a couple of weeks and I am not goinig anywhere so I thought I would find a new track to go visit.
Thanks,
Tom

[Gonzof1]

Just wanted to chime in here and say I'll be at Chapel Hill this weekend. I've spent the last two days getting the cars changed over to the pavement setup and I'll be ready to run.

What do you think about the new "rules"? I think they are trying to be all things to all people by trying to run 11 classes! They also doubled the entry fee last week. Are you gonna participate in the points race? I'm concerned about people bending the rules with no tech to go through, however, Rosewood has no tech either.

Anyway, maybe we should start a Chapel Hill Forum here and talk further about it elsewhere.

See y'all on Sunday!!!
Gonzo-

[Ron Zee]

Last time I looked on their site, it said it was still 5 to enter 1 class but 10 to enter more than one. Since when I go there I'm running only one class, no probllem. Has this changed or is it still posted this way on the site?
No Jimmy, the one way is still in one piece in my "parts bag". Hey, it's worth at least 2 bodies?? no??
Anyhow, yes my TC3 is sort of road ready, seeing as it wasn't really carpet ready!!LOL
And, I've been meesing with that lap counter thingy,,, man, that suckers better than a stop watch!! And just a little more portable than a 'puter!!
I'll be back in Goldsboro tomorrow,, made a deal with Julie to give her a day off at the motel,,, I'm at the desk right now!!!:rolleyes: Workin?? NOT!!!:cool:

[tarheelquality]

Ron,
The main page has the new fees, $10 for one class $15.00 for multiple classes. The rules page has not been updated. Also starting 2nd or 3rd race Roar membership will be required. There will be more info at the first race. They also have a lap counting system now. See you Sunday.

[JimmyMac]

Well I don't know about them changing rules. Lineup still looks the same to me. I don't cheat and I win at Chapel Hill! :D Anyways, thats why I race mod. How can you cheat in mod? hehe. As for stock, well I'll see if there are cheaters. If they can beat my GM3, then they are cheating! :p Well I'll be there for sure this Sunday with my TC3. I'm thinking about running my RC10L2 Oval car for the pan car class. I think I can sorta get it set up and running for a road course. It'll be just for fun. Only thing is I don't have good tires for it. All mine are Blue Foams. But I'm sure I'll find a way to tune it to handle right. I'm thinking on 3 classes now for $15. Stock/Mod Electric and 1/10 Pan Car Class.

Quality, I only have run Touring at Chapel Hill, Hampton VA, VA Beach (hobbytown usa and debbies rcworld), and Race City (mooresville, nc.) I have yet to try out the tracks in S. Carolina. Race City is indoor carpet. Hampton VA is indoor carpet. Hobbytown USA and Debbies are now outdoor parking lot. S. Carolina is outdoor permanent track. I beleive there are at least 2 down there like that. Jacksonville is suppose to have the indoor carpet oval and road course track. Anyways, I'm sorta getting tired of running indoor carpet. So I'll be running either Chapel Hill and/or Debbies and Hobbytown for Touring Car. I'll be skipping Chapel Hill for Debbies Trophy Races this coming June. So this will give you guys a chance at the podium. :p I can't wait for the Asphalt track to be build here in Goldsboro/Rosewood. But I don't forsee that happening anytime soon. I'd like to help out, but I work during the week and race during the weekend. Plus when I show up on Wednesdays after work, no one is there. I wish there were more Asphalt or Parking lot tracks in North Carolina. But I only know of one... Chapel Hill!

Anyways, let me stop my b*#%hing. Had to work overtime at work and also arguing with my girlfriend. Blah!! :mad: Gotta put my Deans Connectors back on my Batteries for Chapel Hill. See yall there! Maybe I'll post a pic of my sorry Stratus Superman Body later on. Tomorrow I guess. Take it easy!

Jimmy Mac :mad:

[Dustin]

I'll be there sunday too. Running the T-Maxx fo sho. and maybe the 1/8 scale? do they have a class for them? if not i'll just run it alittle in the practice.

[tarheelquality]

Jimmy,
Who brought up cheating? As for you sitting on the podium all season I think I may have a little to say about that!! I was going to run those same 3 classes but just traded my 10L for a NIB thundershot, SO.... I will just have to settle on beating you in mod with my Evo 2 and stock with my MR4TC pro. So watch out!!! I am looking forward to running against all of you it should be a blast. I wish there were more outdoor tracks too, and I was hoping you might have known of a permanent one within decent driving distance. Yall need to get busy down in Goldsboro on the new track! How is Debbies? Where in Va Beach is the shop? I lived there while I was in the Navy and at the time the only track I knew of was on base in Norfolk.
See ya,
Tom:)

[Gonzof1]

I guess y'all have seen that I started a Chapel Hill R/C forum here. Let's use that to discuss all things Chapel Hill!

[southbornracer]

[southbornracer]

hope to see everyone at rosewood this weekend

[Ron Zee]

Hey S.B. racer, Glenn's got a used GT in the store, pretty clean, good tires and all, lots of extra parts, almost enough to build another GT, and I did hear a price that was not all that bad for such a clean unit. Get ahold of him a gelam49@hotmail.com It's like almost new, radio and all.

Hey, 2 days of racing for me this weekend!! God I love it!!!

[Ron Zee]

:cool: :cool: Hey, almost forgot!! Put this in your favorites!!

www.rosewoodrc.com

It should be up in a couple of days according to the host I've set it up with. I hopefully will be able to post results and stats and things like that. I might even do pictures,,, but,,,
Anyhow, in about 2-4 days it said.:cool: :cool:

[southbornracer]

thanks ron.i'm getting the nitro bug and would love to get a gt.also, i have some pics from a couple of the races at rosewood.i can try to send them to you if you want to post them on to website.do you know where i can get the pics from the winter bash.just the one where all the cars are lined up on the track.thanks.............billy p.s.make room for one more spec driver.

[Ron Zee]

I geuss I'll have to find a picture from then,, I didn't have my camera that day.

Also,, the site is now up and running!!!I only hope I can figure out how to post results there!!! LOLOL:cool:

[chance]

Billy, No GT in my future, unless I pull the engine and transmission from my sprint car. I ran a few tanks through my 1/8 car at Stoney Point, had a ton-o-fun. I'm going to stick with buggies, if enough people show to run electric at Rosewood, other wise, I'll run 1/8 at Stoney Point.
Tiffany, if you run spec, most likely, you'll have to marshall stock buggy. There's only one important thing to know about, always marshall my car first! :)

[Tarheel]

Rosewoodrc.com has entree forms for the regional race in may. Don't wait till the last minute, get them in now. Sponsors lined up with plenty of givaways. This should be a gooooooood race.:D

[southbornracer]

have a ? .has anybody ever heard of a nitro star .12 motor?is this a good motor?ron.glen was one of the people i saw walking around with a fancy digital camera:) i'm trying to get my pops into the sport.wanted to show him how tough the crowd was.chance,how did you like stoney point?man i thought that track rocked.i can wait to run nitro truck there.by the way,congrats on the a-main stock buggy victory last race.i just couldn't seem to get mine right.must need some chevy parts.lol;)

Rodney_1964@yahoo.com

[Ron Zee]

Anyhow,, see oyu all out at Rosewood tomrrow. Sounds like the Spec class should be a big one!! Come on Elwood, can ya do it again???:confused: :cool:

[Part-time]

Hey Ron/Glenn the site is great!!!!!!!!!!! The layout looks good for the outdoor track. can't wait for tomorrow i really enjoy the atmosphire at rosewood. Everone is a good bunch of people. Keep up the good work. Who are the sponcers and what are they giving.:D

[weekendracer]

way to go on the no show today rosewood! Good luck with the regionals. Oh wait maybe nobody will show up for the regionals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that would be kinda funny huh!!

[JimmyMac]

Yeah, knew I couldn't race today because I had to work to catch up on production. But I was gonna stop by and watch the racing. Well I did and as I was nearing the "Rosewood Raceway Sign" I noticed that there weren't any cars parked away from the building. As I got closer, no cars near the building. Pulled in and only one car sitting out there. Called Ron's place. Not home but they told me that Glenn had a class or something that day and he didn't show up til like 3pm. Anyways, heard from alot of people that they are pissed. Especially the out of towners. Hope no Virginia crowds came down. Hate to drive 3 hours for nothing. But let's not quit just yet. We should let him explain why or what before we make our judgements. I'm just glad I decided to work today instead of putting it off to race. :p Anyone goin to Chapel Hill Tomorrow? Ron, myself and maybe Chris J. will be heading out. See yall there!

Jimmy Mac

[Tarheel]

Gee, i wonder if he's pissed. Oh well I'm sure nothing like this has ever happened to him. And it's not intirely true what you said weekend racer, I did show, I was late because they changed the class forum. Pretty much out of my control. WE will have a great time at the REGIONALS, with or without you.

[Tarheel]

Oh almost forgot, our record at Rosewood is probably better than most. We have been up and running going on 12 years now. One late show in 12 years is not a bad record. Rosewood will be racing again in two weeks with or without you.

[weekendracer]

OK LETS HAVE A PISSING CONTEST. 3:00 GEE WE HAD PEOPLE WITING THERE FOR 4 HOURS BEFORE THEY LEFT. YOU KNOW YOU ARENT EVEN WORTH IT. HAVE FUN AT THE REGIONALS AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU !

[Part-time]

Yeah the no show really SUCKED!!!!!!!! I drove 45min. to be there and other people over an hour. We all took a pole on saterday and decided that we need to be compensated. Concidering we waited for almost three hours. Can you say sucked.:mad:

[chance]

Well, I was disappointed, I wanted to play with my little toy car too. I drove an hour and a half last Saturday in the rain and had a great day, I drove 20 minutes yesterday and didn't. Things don't always go the way we want, "s#!t happens".
It sure was nice having a place to race during the winter, remember that snow in January, the place was packed.

Where I come from "we all" means everyone, someone didn't ask me, my feelings are hurt.

While I'm at it, the idea of standing out on a slab of asphalt that's 200 degrees on a 100 degree day, in the sun, doesn't sound like a good idea to me, but that's just me.
While I was waiting Saturday I heard someone say something that, I feel, is worth repeating. Pave the front of the store, use it for the touring cars and a parking lot. It gets used year round that way. "IF" the touring car thing works out or not, the money wasn't wasted.
To me, that's a good idea, I wish I had thought of that. "IF" there is indoor offroad this coming winter, a paved parking lot sure would be nice.

Well...that's it, no, wait there's more...never mind, everyone will forget in a week anyway.
Oh well, back to the coloring book, my green crayon is about shot, does anyone have an extra?

[weekendracer]

A SIMPLE APOLOGY WOULD BE NICE !

[elwoodjarman]

OK, so Saturday sucked. Goof grief. Give it a rest. Glenn is only one person, he had no control over what happened Saturday. He was trying to do something that would help protect his business a little. I went to the same class and it did go longer than planned. This has never happened to you. An apology, I'm sure it is warranted. Compensation, I don't think so. I'm sorry you had to wait so long. Maybe Glenn should have just rescheduled the race???????????Then when no one showed up for the alternate day, could Glenn be pissed off? I say if you come every weekend and you support Glenn with all your purchases from his hobby store, then you have a right to complain about him being late once. But if you have ever missed a race day, then keep quiet. We have had some great racing, if you don't want to be a part of it, your loss.:mad:

[Ron Zee]

Hey now, there's an idea Glenn, How about paving it in the front? It would take a lot less prep to do it there, and you could keep the offroad too. At the least, it's something to think about.?. I mean after today at Chapel Hill, you sure as heck don't "need" a 10foot tall drivers stand to see the track. Their track layout is absolutely huge and the drivers stand is about 1.5 feet tall. Darn 10th scale looks like a micro that far away anyhow, any higher than that and they'd look even smaller!! LOL

Hope to see everyone soon,,

[Dustin]

I third the idea of keeping the offroad in the back, and onroad up front...

[JimmyMac]

Great Idea! I like that idea. Why? Because it can be done in like what.... one week? Or basically whenever the contractor has time to do it! Looking at Chapel Hill today (a tad unorganized but still a fun day) they had over 115 entries. Not individual people, but entries. Or translated to around 25 heats or something like that? What was it Ron. Anyways, it was fun there today. Had a blast. I think Rosewood would be alot more oganized. Plus I know alot of people would be interested in running it. Blah blah blah, let me go to bed. I hate loosing that damn hour.....

Jimmy Mac

[Gonzof1]

From an outsiders point of view and someone who didn't drive all the way to Rosewood to find a locked door. The major attitude of everyone I talked to at Chapel Hill yesterday was they are really pi$$ed-off about the whole thing. I mean they are REALLY pi$$ed! To the point of not going back to Rosewood for quite some time and then only to pay the entry fee and race. Leaving the parts purchasing to internet orders only.

Everyone seemed most upset about Glenn's posts here right after it happened. His seemingly indifference to Weekend's post about people not showing up for the regionals. It seemed that people just were looking for a simple apology for it and got a face full of attitude. However, Glenn's point of one miss in 12 years is a valid one but what's the reason that someone else doesn't have the keys to the place (like Ron)? Just keep the parts room locked seperately.

Glenn, you know I respect you for all that you've done for R/C in this state, but I think this one is gonna sting a little. I don't have any reason not to come because I didn't experience Saturday's event, but I think you may have lost some loyal customers (for a while anyway).

Later dooooooods,
G-

[Part-time]

Loosing customers---I don't think that is necsisary. Having a life ---OK. Better planning-- A MUST! How about an appoligy--- No crawling just an appoligy. Mistakes happen. Better planning --- A MUST !!! I'm sorry did I already say that. The asphalt in the front sure sounds good. Mybe altenate weekends. I know your only on person. But if you want to play like the big boys you have to run it like them too. Plus if it does well you can retire early and go fly your planes more.:D

[weekendracer]

ok we are all wrong and glenn is right! that settles it
see everyone at stoneypoint this weekend. Glenn wanna come race with us at Stoney point ? race starts at 1:00 track opens at 9:00

[Tarheel]

just so I don't have to repete myself , I would appreciate it if everyone that showed to race saturday would go to TTT and see my post. Thank you.

[elwoodjarman]

Hey Weekend Racer, I don't think I said everyone was wrong, if it came across that way then I apologize. This has really gotten out of hand. OK Glenn should have planned better. But he thought he would be finished in time to get to the track and open at his usual time. It got screwed up, but not by him. Anyway, you have my apology and I know Glenn is going to make a face to face apology at the next race, he knows all of you are upset and he doesn't want that. I hope no-one will quit coming over this. So if you want an apology from Glenn then be at the next race. :(

[Ron Zee]

Hey, like I put on TT, I've been up here in Va. working at the REste' Motel. Any e-mails anyone might have sent will have to wait till I get back into Goldsboro to answer them, as I can't remember my password to my hotmail account.

See Ya!!!

[JimmyMac]

Hey Chris J. the website you were looking for is SpeedTechRC. So Ron, when you coming home huh?? Anyways, any news on the Asphalt track yet? Hmmmm, okay... dum dee doo... bored... hehe.. let me surf some more....

Jimmy Mac

[Ron Zee]

Bored? Hey, how about spending a week away from home, and not having enough room in the van to bring any of my R/C stuff. Yeah, as big as it is, it was still full of stuff to bring up to the motel. Only thing I could fit was my tank.

So,,, the last body was Super Heroes,,, how about Super Villians on the next one??

PS, be back Sun. God, I'm bored. If it wasn't for Julie buying a go cart at Sam's for the kids,,,, Hey, you think my big butt in a Storm is funny, you should see me try to drive a go-cart!!!

[Part-time]

Glenn are you planning on having any night sessions to work on the track? Mybe then some of us can help w/ the maintinence. (just a thuoght);)

[southbornracer]

who is going to rosewood this sat.?

[Ron Zee]

:cool: Well you know I'll be there, maybe even running modifiedbuggy?? Maybe not, but definatly runnning Spec Truck.

Got a new motor from Glenn today for my Mini -Z. Hard to beleive somthing so darn small can go so fast! It's almost as fast as my STOCK Micro with a 5 cell pack!

Anyhow, I'll be there setting up the 'puter, so remember to register BEFORE Glenn has to tell you to do so, it cuts down on my load a whole lot more, and it makes it a lot easier to start on time. And another thing, If you have them, PLEASE give more than 1 frequency for your radio. 2 or more channels makes life so much easier up in that booth,,,,

Later,,
Ron :cool:

[Part-time]

I'll be there.

[LEADFOOT]

What time is registration/ practice, etc.? How early does one need to get there to get a booth all set up and everything?

[Ron Zee]

Officially the track opens at 12 and you can register then. The registration cut off is 2:30 and hopefully, the racing starts at 3. There's 3 rounds of IFMAR style qualifying followed by the mains. The setting up of the pitspace will depend on how much stuff you bring. Me,, I got 1 toolbox with pretty much everything stuffed into it. Pull out the power supply and charger, hook 'em up, start cooking batteries.
Sometimes though, Glenn'll get there earlier than 12 and he'll open up as soon as he gets there, but like I said, OFFICIALLY, the place opens at 12.

[chance]

Leadfoot, pit space is not a problem, you'll have room, even if it's after 1:00 before you get there. I might be wrong but, I don't think there will be enough buggies to make a class.

SBR, I'm going, I want to see how the track looks. You and Tif going to make it out or have yall jumped ship for pavement?

[Part-time]

don't give up on buggies, last time there was a race i believe there was a pretty good turnout for bugs.

[LEADFOOT]

Bummer 'bout the buggies!

I guess i could try my hand at stock truck again. I don't think I made 7 laps total last week....guess I should drive the track at least once before the heats! Shouldn't have any suspension failures, either!

See ya'll Sat.

[chance]

Leadfoot, bring it, just in case. You never know, look what happen last week at Stoney Point.

[southbornracer]

not this sat.already lowered my trucks for chapel hill sun.they look funny as hell 1/8'' off the ground:) still have to buy tif a spec motor and batteries before she can run at rosewood.theres no way she would let me go if she couldn't race.she's got the bug now too:) well,hope the track looks good and everybody shows up on time.(always a plus):p see everybody in two weeks.
later...........billy

[LEADFOOT]

Chance,

I 'm actually still waitin' for the UPS man to bring my Cyclone back to me. I'll bring them both even if I fdon't get the ESC in time. I could always swap the electronics over (again).:D

[LEADFOOT]

Never you mind! Got my ESC back yesterday and it's already installed and rarin' to go.

Now I just have to decide what classes to drive in. :D

[Ron Zee]

There's been a few changes in the Rosewood world. Go to the www.rosewoodrc.com site and see the new Schedule page for info. Basically, the track will be closed after this weekend for maintenance and then it will reopen for the practice days on May 16th and 17th, and then the Regional on the 18th. Then it will close the indoor track for the summer with work starting on the new outdoor onroad track with dates for opening and races to be determined.
By the way, I'll bring my buggy just in case. Should I use the mod or stock motor.. Heck. I'll bring 'em both!! LOLOL

[JimmyMac]

Hey Ron, won't be there tomorrow. Goin to Virginia Beach for some Touring Car Racing. But I'll be by Sunday Morning between 9 and 9:30am. I might even call ya Saturday Night or just stop by on the way home. Gonna pick up some sway bars and springs along with other things. Can't wait til Rosewood opens up On-Road...... til then, Virgina and Chapel Hill for me!

As you can see, it was a light day, but there were 2 new Spec drivers there.

Anyhow, had a good time, see you all on the next RACE day,,,May 18th. Don't forget that there will be practice on Thurs and Fri, the 16th and 17th.

[southbornracer]

[

[JimmyMac]

Light turn out I see. Sorry I didn't run today. But my T3's are in pieces and I needed a last minute TC3 parts run. So since I was headed up to VA Beach, why not race! Well I did good I guess. 2nd in Mod Touring. And a 2nd (controversial) in Stock Touring. Why? That's what you get when they hand count hehe. They said 4th, Dave (who won) said I got 2nd. I was coming up to lap 3rd place at the end of the race. I think they got confused when I was bumped and spun out at the start of the race. But I caught back up and past everyone but the leader. I dunno. They should have a new AMBrc system within a week. So I won't get cheated out of any more races. :p Anyways, I let the others have their "ribbons." And continued on to Mod Class. It was a fun day with no rain. Didn't get all the stuff I needed for my TC3, but I picked up a few other things for Chapel Hill tomorrow.

Anyways, I guess Rosewood will be closed until the warm-up race for the Regional. I'll be back for that Race and the Regional as well. Can't wait! See you guys there! :D

Jimmy Mac

[LEADFOOT]

Whoa! ...very light turnout. I prolly could of taken the stock truck "B" main!

Sorry I couldn't join ya'll. I got a hold of some bad food. Turned 6 shades of green and was praying to the porcelain god.

Oh well, hope everyone had fun.

[Part-time]

Light tun out but a good day. The track was fair to partly cloudy. Glenn made hi appology then turned around and gave everyone a free race day. THUMBS UP TO GLENN:D

[Ron Zee]

That was good race in the spec class Robert. Next time it'll be you!! If not for a few misques ,you'da had me easy!! That truck of yours was hooked up. A lot more speed than mine,, but then ,,speed isn't always everything. LOL But anyhow,, be there on the 16th and 17th for practice and on the 18th for the regionals.

[Part-time]

Yeah Ron that main was alot of fun. I need to get some new packs though, mine don't seem to be pushing as good as they used to. See ya at the race. What hours is the track going to be open for practice?

[Ron Zee]

The practice days so far unless that's been changed, is Thursday, May 16th, open from 10am until 6 pm.
Friday, May 17th opem from 10am until 6 pm.
Saturday, open at 8 am with qualifying supposed to start at 9 am. That is if everyone has registerd ahead of time like on Thurs, and Fri. This is a ROAR race ,so you do need to be a member, and if your not, there will be sign ups there on race day for I think both full and 1 day memberships.:cool:

[Ron Zee]

Hey, you all better plan on running a few packs for practice!! Spent a few hours out there yesterday with Glenn, and while the layout is the same, the surface is as of right now quite different than it was before!! Holes have been fixed, the front straight is now a lot smoother, the big sweeper into the straight is now flat instead of off-camber, no more ruts on the tabletop, dirt added to the front straight to eliminate the bump right in front of the drivers stand, LOTS of work has been done by Glenn to get the track ready for the Regionals.
Hope to see you all there soon, and don't forget to visit www.rosewoodrc.com for info and race results.

Ron Z

[Ron Zee]

Please return that which was stolen. You know who you are and what it was that was taken from its resting place.

[Part-time]

Ron is the track still packed or is it going to be loose, soft, sticky,???????????? Hey check out TTT I started a thread for the Regional. Needs more action on it though.;)

[Tarheel]

Ron if you get a chance come by the store asap. I want to see you about the 1/8 scale gas car we are giving away at the regionals.:D Thanks for the post too.

[southbornracer]

glad to hear the track is looking better.:) can't wait until the regionals.

[LEADFOOT]

Glad to hear the track is coming along well.:D


Glen, if you need any help, just ask! I'm sure you'll get more help than you need.

See ya'll soon.

[RodneyRacer]

Hey everybody just wanted to stop in and say hi and that as long as it is ok with Tarheel the food for the regionals will be there for thursday friday and saturday same fixins as the Bash race and with a few more entrees, reasonable prices and just good food so bring your hungry selves and good racing

I went to the Ga state championships and the word of my moms food even followed us there holy cow!

thanks guys see ya the 16th

Rodney

[Part-time]

GLENN, are you needing any help? I can help out one night this week or mybe saturday? How is the surface turning out? Will the surface be any different ( as far as loose or hard ):cool:

[Ron Zee]

Since I haven't seen the track since the other day, I can't say how it is right now,, so,, I think everyone had better make it to at least one of the practice days to find out what'll be needed to race with as far as tires go. All day Thurs. and all day Fri. is a LOT of practice time. I know I'll be there to try out a few set-ups,, God knows I need too,,, LOLOL:cool:

[LEADFOOT]

What is the practice fee gonna be...if any?:confused:

[Part-time]

go to www.rosewoodrc.com all the info you will need is there. Their is also a good picture of the track.

[LEADFOOT]

Glenn's homepage doesn't have any fees listed other than the regional race entry fee, hence the above question.

[weekendracer]

willl there be a t shirt with the entry fee ?

[Part-time]

weekendracer-I'm not sure about any give aways and leadfoot- as far as the charge for practice if there isn't a separate charge listed other than the race fee then it must all be included. It would be nice if they have giveaways, but if not ohwell, I now there will be some great prizes.

[Part-time]

HEY ELWOOD!!!! Where YA BEEN ???? If your out there are you going to make it to the regionals? How about any of you other spec drivers, who's commin'? Hey Steve are you going to run spec or stock?:D :confused:

[chance]

Hey guys, guess what happened to me.

[Gonzof1]

Jeeez bro, you alright? Which one was yours? A little more trouble than having someone stuff you into a pipe at the track, eh?
G-

[chance]

LOL, oh yeah. The tan ranger is mine, I got plowed. I'm ok, just a little sore. No one was hurt!

[weekendracer]

CHANCE,
I HOPE EVERYTHING IS OK WITH YOU MAN ?

[Ron Zee]

Hey, if no-one else has heard, I got an e-mail from ***** Farnham and she said that Walt is selling out everything R/C. I hope he saves enough to at least come to the regionals before all is gone. And, she said the website she started is now going to be run by Wil McIver sometime soon. :( Sorry to see it happen, we need all the racers we can get to keep this hobby alive. At least I know I'll miss seeing them and the dog there at Rosewood this winter. :(

Oh, in case your wondering, she said no ,the dog is staying with them. LOL

[Part-time]

WOW!!!! I never saw one like that before. Glad your ok. How fast were they going? Glad your trigger finger is ok.

[southbornracer]

damn chance,that looked like it hurt.glad to hear you are ok.got to hate those people that don't pay attention.hope you can still make it to chapel hill this weekend,if not im sure i'll see you at the regionals.

p.s.by the way just remember that you just had a b-day so happt b-day man...............later billy

[Tarheel]

Chance didn't they teach parallel parking in drivers ed. lol. Just kidding, glad your ok. Sometimes injuries don't show up right away, so be careful. Hope to see you soon.

[LEADFOOT]

To some it may look like a picture of wreck carnage...


but in all actuality Chance saw a couple of soccer moms waiting for a school bus and decided to see if the Ranger was up for some Monster Truckin'!


...see the damage to the back of the car?!?!?:D


For what it's worth chance, glad you're okay!

[Ron Zee]

Hey Chance, I happen to know where theres a 98 E150 van,,,,

You still gonna race the regional aren't you??

[Tarheel]

Ron I need to see you asap about the 1/8 scale gas car givaway and registration names. We need to start putting them in the puter asap. Thanks. Don't want to wait till saturday morning, it will be crunch time for the racers including you because you are racing too. We got some nice giveaways and the track is looking good if I say so myself. Bob cummings(the guy in the wheel chair) came out to the track yesterday and hand swept under all of the pit spaces. He worked for 6 hours cleaning and helping out. I just wanted to say thanks to him. I know he does'nt have a pc so if you see him, thank him for his hard work. He gets some free racing for that. It's the least i can do. Thanks for your help on the track too Ron. I hope you didn't have a heart attach! lol. No fun without a four wheeler to help. Wish we had it back. How's the hotel business treating you ? See you soon.

[Tarheel]

I almost forgot, my Tmaxx is almost ready for chapel hill. Got the radio in this week and now only have to break in the engine. The body looks super on it with the red showing under the matalic blue body. See you this week.

[Ron Zee]

I'm putting the shocks together now, and then the radio tray, so it should be finished soon. Figured that body would look good on all that red stuff. I'm back in Goldsboro right now, so I'll see you tomorrow, hopefully early. 6 DAYS!!!!:cool:

[s harrington]

HEY THIS LOG ON FORUMS OK. JUST A QUICK NOTE, IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN A LOSI GAS TRUCK/PARTS/ETC. CONTACT ME AT

[JimmyMac]

I should be there if I don't have to work. Still gotta get my T3 back together. Right now my truck stuff is in one of my TC3's. Damn, I need an extra Receiver... all these cars I tell ya!! I might stop by Friday after work to see what's goin on at the track. But that depends if I get to see Star Wars Thurday or not. :D See yall there!

Jimmy Mac

[Ron Zee]

[JimmyMac]

My practice will be my first heat in the regional. :D See ya there and Chapel Hill Billy and Ron! Oh wait... I'll see Ron tomorrow... sorry... :p Hey Ron... Star Wars is playing on Berkly during the Afternoon... I wonder if I can get off work early?? hahah, yeah right.... gonna be stuck in line for one of the evening shows..... :mad:

Jimmy Mac

[Ron Zee]

That was the face of anger,, don't let it get to you,, lead you to the dark side it will,, a Jedi needs to remain calm as his freind trys to get into the 12 show,,, LOLOL:cool:

[southbornracer]

went to rosewood today and got some practice in.the track looks great.:) bowties seem to be hooking up the best.thanks ron for letting me borrow the lap counter.i must get one for the track at in my back yard.


? do the spec motors need capacitors or are they already installed under the hood?well,see everyone sat...................billy

[npresme]

BOWTIES!!!!!

The last time I was there I ran tapers and holeshots. Can someone please tell me the track hasn't changed that much!!!!

[JimmyMac]

Let's wait and see what happens tomorrow at the track before we make tire choices. :D

[chiromaster]

Bowties were working well. The track is still fast even when a bit damp. With the laptimes we were running, I expect it will take a 16 or at least fast 15 lap run to make the A in stock truck.

Stan, If you switch cars, what will be your excuse then?? LOL!! So you coming to Rosewood this weekend or what? How about Maggot racing? Big Al? Chris? Mike? .......where is everyone??

[Part-time]

Just came back the track is pretty good. the table top kicks and the jumps are tuned well. I was hooking up with fuzzie "Ts", but I'm sure it will change tomorrow. See ya'll there.
Southborn, I'm not sure about the capacitors bing in side so I added some to mine.

[Ron Zee]

Street Spoec motors are of the old style meaning yes, you NEED TO PUT CAPACITORS ON IT!! There are NONE under the brush hoods.

Bowties on my Spec truck seem to be working fine,,, driver now needs help,,, LOLOL

Also, The track will open at 8AM but the racing will now start at 11AM to allow a few region 2 drivers who are coming a little practice time.

But please, come as early as you can so I can get everyone into the 'puter as soon as I can.:cool:

[Ron Zee]

Congradulations to all the winners and to all the drivers who came out today and ran the 2002 ROAR Region 3 Championships. There may be racing in 2 weeks out here, so keep coming here or go to the rosewoodrc.com site for schedule updates.:cool:

[Gonzof1]

Boy, that looks like a pretty weak turn-out for a ROAR regional. Looks just like the average race with some new names in there once-and-a-while.

JIMMY? The B-Main? What happened?

I wanted to stop by today and check it out, but I got tied up polishing my motorcycle and time got away from me.

See ya' in Chapel Hill!

G-

[Part-time]

Yeah WEAK turn out is right. It's a shame, but lets face it being closed before a major race is not a good idea. Plus there are still alot of pissed off people out there yet over what had happened a few weeks ago. Or should I say how it was handled. But that was the past and I like to live in the future."present" So Ron the main was a little messy, why didn't you take third? That kid deserved to get bounced back. I deserved last in the main but got 5th. I need to learn to stay colmn. So Billy do you feel good winning? You drove well. Hopefully you'll keep running with us in spec so we can learn from you. I know you had every right to race in the class because its not a beginners class its a spec class. Sorry if I was a d-ckhead. In stead of wineing I should have been asking you pointers.

[weekendracer]

WELL WELL I SEE SOMEBODY IS A SORE LOSER !!! i THINK EVERYTHING WENT VERY WELL AT THIS RACE IT WAS RAN PROFESSIONAllY, DOOR PRIZES WERE GREAT AND I BELEIVE EVERYBODY HAD A GOOD TIME (EXCEPT PARTIME) SO CONGRADS TO ALL THE WINNERS ANTHONY SAUNDERS GOOD RUN IN STOCK TRUCK !!!!! JERRY WEST GOOD RUN IN MOD BUGGY!! STEVE BEASLEY GOOD RUN IN MOD TRUCK!!! SHANE WEISNER GOOD RUN IN STOCK BUGGY!! AND MOST OF ALL GOOD RUN IN SPEC TRUCK BILLY MACKORMICK!!! EVEN IF YOU HAD TO DROP A CLASS TO WIN !! lol OH AND THANKS TO RODNEY MULLS MOTHER FOR THE FOOD SORRY THERE WEREN'T MORE PEOPLE THERE BUT IM SURE WE'LL GET THE CROWD PUMPED UP FOR THE BASH!

[Part-time]

I'm not a soar looser I deserved last like I said. I am just not pleased about billy. Oh did you see his time? Its amazing how a spec motor can be faster that a stock isn't it???? Weekender you are deffinately right about the days events. The food, door prizes and staff were fantastic, a real standard setter for how a race day should go. Who won the 1/8th scale buggy anyway? Glenn the track was great!!! Thanxs:)

[npresme]

Well if anyone thinks that this was a "WEAK" turn out, then they are very WRONG!!! I will agree that it may not have been a big turn out, meaning number of people. But "WEAK" it was not! There were some of the fastest guys you will run against in region 3 there this weekend! Maybe the people that think those guys are "WEAK" should really watch them run and should take the time to ask them of there accomplishments in R/C! Then you may want to change your wording!!!


I would like to say thanks to the Rosewood staff for a great race and to Mike Russell for his professionalism as region director.

[Part-time]

Weak as in quantity of racers, not quality of racers.

[RodneyRacer]

Hi everyone

I think the regionals went well, yeah there could have been more people but there were plenty of fast guys there congrats to all the winners. Just one thing about the spec motors and Billy, for one he is new to this sport and is a beginer ( am I right Billy) I think he has only been racing for a short while he is just a quick learner and listens to what the fast guys say and on the spec motors well stock truck qualified at 16 laps and spec only 15 by the way on the spec motors in oval last year at Rosewood they went 2 laps faster than stock they are modifieds ya know 21 turn 12 degrees of timing. Its a clean line around the track and being consistant. You are right about one thing though watch Billy because he doing it right!

Great Race Glenn!!!! cant wait for the Bash this fall!!

Rodney

[JimmyMac]

Haha, yeah, it was a weak turn out (meaning not as many people as should have been there.) But hey, I still came to support my local track. I had fun even though I wasn't concentrating on it. Anyways, I don't think Billy cheated. People have been on 15 lap paces before. Plus his motor was tore down right? I dunno, did you watch his driving? Was it that bad that he should not have won? Or was it that good that he did deserve to win? I mean Steve B was pulling my leg telling me my motor was screaming. But there was no way I could hang with him. My truck just wasn't setup and my mind wasn't in it. I drove horrible. Fast motors ain't everything. Especially in offroad! Driving counts most!

Anyways, I thought the race was run very well. Wish the turnout would have been better. But still we had most of fast guys there. I enjoyed it. Hope to see you guys sometime soon. Especially if Glenn builds an asphalt track. Well take it easy...

Jimmy Mac
p.s. Great Race and Congrates to everyone that showed and that won!

[Part-time]

Rodney- Time in does't matter its how good you are.
Kilruf- I didn't say he shouldn't have won. He ran GREAT, I just said that something might be a little funny. Yes I think they tore down the winners motors, but you can't tell if magenets have been zapped that way.
if there is a race in 2weeks will it be indoor or is the asphalt going to be done that fast?

[RodneyRacer]

Partime ,,, who are you ??

[southbornracer]

man i am getting hammered for running spec:) thanks rodney for backing me up.yes,i have only been in it for 5 months now,and i love it:D part time-- my motor and battieries were torn down and inspected by the region director.the brushes i used came right out of glens parts room and i don't even know how to zap magnets.but to everyone who knows i didn't cheat i had the best time racing sat..was one of the best races i've been to.i was more surprized that i took 2nd in stock than 1st in spec.. sorry steve about the mishap down the straitaway.:( congrats on the mod victorys and i'll see you in stoney point next weekend.congrats to all the other winners and hope to see everyone next time:cool: later................billy

[chance]

ha ha...Billy, see what happens.:p I think you picked on my boy last week at Stoney Point for running novice, see what you get. Now, don't you feel bad for doing it!:p

Just giving you a hard time man, it'll be ok.:D

[PIPE HANGER]

Hi guys,just wanted to say we had a low turn out but,WOW,there was still some good comp. there.Had a great time and will return if Glen decides to run some more off-road this year.Congrats to all the winners and a special thanks to Rodney Mulls mother for the food.MMM on the raisin pie.That was the first time this country boy ever had raisin pie.Thanks Rodney.Later guys.:D

[flapjack]

Whats up everyone? I really enjoyed this weekend. Even with the small turn out I thought it was a great race. Congradulations to all the winners.

Billy, dont worry about it. I have no doubt that you were legal. I have heard them announce that I was on a 15 lap pace a couple of times in spec(usually right before I have a spectacular wreck) and I suck so I know it is possible. Also, I dont see anything wrong with running spec if thats what you want to do. I guess sometimes people just get too frustrated or something. Oh well, it will be alright. Take care everyone.

later,

chris J.

[Part-time]

Billy I don't believe that I said or accused you of cheating. I am just floored at your lap times. And I just was making an overall statement about zapping magnets.You deserved to get first, and yes being picked on about dropping a class. What did first get anyway? Look if you think I'm being a ???? then your right. But aren't we all aloud to be sometimes? Its part of life. You get made, run your mouth and then feel like a ???? afterwards. So hopefully there are no hard feelings. I do enjoy raceing and talking with you and your girlfriend.
Rodney,,,,,GUESS???? no just kidding My name is..................Rob whats yours? I drive the orange and purple lousy (losi). But also have an assoc.;) :o

[Tarheel]

I just wanted to say congrats to all the winners. Thanks for coming out and supporting Rosewood for the regional. I really appreciate everything you guys did for us. Rodney, your moms food was great. I hope the coming winter bash makes up for the trouble she went through for this race. Thanks to all the sponsors: Lunsford, Team Losi, Hytec, Futaba, JR, B&t, Cobra, Bolink, Coke and Duratrax. This race had some of the best drivers you'll ever see in region 3. The competition was the toughest I've seen in years. Thanks Mike Russell for showing and teching all the winners. Thanks Wayne for doing an outstanding tech job. Ron, good calling once again. Thanks for the help in the parts room Bo. I hope everyone had a great time. We will keep you posted on the next race. Have to see the chiropractor for my back. After a little rest, we will do it again. :D

[JimmyMac]

Chiropractor? Which one? Don't you have like 2 to choose from? :D

[Tarheel]

Good one Jimmy. lol. Actually there are three to choose from. Eric, Wayne and Democo. Maybe I could trade some free racing for a treatment or two. lol.

[npresme]

I would like to comment on everyone that is saying Billy "dropped" a class!! I do not know Billy, this was the first time I had seen him race. The reason I want to comment is this same thing happened at our local track before it closed last year! First, the class is called spec, corrcet, not novice so therefor if anyone wanted to run they could! There are guys that are running in that class that have been racing for a number of years and no one says they zapped motors or anything else when they win! At our local track we had guys that had made it through novice and stock truck all the way to pro truck! Well when they figured out that they could not win or run in the top 2 or 3 everyweek. They went to the track owner and started there on class 4 cell off-road truck! This took about 10 to 15 people out of the other classes and when some of the pro drivers got together and decided to run four cell then there was this "big problem". So if this class is going to be called spec and not novice then anyone should be able to run in it!!! If this class was intended to be for begginners then call it novice! But either way Billy would still be in it, he said he had only been racing for 5 months!!! That is just my 2 1/2 cents worth!!!!

[chiromaster]

Well here's my comment for what it's worth. As has already been said, spec class is NOT novice class. Anyone who want's to run the spec equipment can run in the class. Second, Billy has a very simple dynamite charger and no fancy equipment. Third, Billy has been racing for a much shorter time than most of you spec class drivers, so if he has gotten faster than you in that period of time, what does that tell you?? Maybe you need to work on your driving skills!! I see some guys out there who NEVER learn from their mistakes and won't listen to any constructive advice.

I see spec drivers take a line on the track that causes them to end up on their lid and have to wait for the turn marshalls. Amazingly, they will take the same line EVERY lap and somehow think that something different will happen. If you guys would just ease off a little and concentrate on taking a good line, you would have fast laps too. You can take that track without making ANY of the jumps and turn 21 or 22 second laps. That's faster than most of you spec guys are going. Once you can do that, then try to make the jumps and you will be turning 19 second laps like Billy was.

I say congrat's to Billy for a good weekend. He raced well and had good results with very marginal equipment. He beat me and I have all the dynos and turbo 35's and lathes, etc, etc. He doesn't have any of that stuff.

[npresme]

Chiro- About your last sentence!!

WHAT DOES THAT TELL US ("us" meaning all of the guys that spend way to much money) !!!!! All I had to do was just learn to set-up my vehicles and drive!

[Part-time]

Yeah Yeah Yeah, I know stop flappin' me mouth so I can learn something. Well, I did.

Glenn sorry to hear about your back. If you decide to have more races and need any help I work til 11:00 on fridays.

[Ron Zee]

AS one of the poeple who set up the spec class, and the last original founding racer in this class, as well as being a race announcer, I have indeed seen others run their SPEC trucks on a 15 lap pace before,, but like Chris said, it's before the big wreck.

Billy missed all the major mishaps in that main. He turned consistant laps, He ran a good line, and kept his concentration. All that adds up to a really good run.

As for Spec motors going fast,,, they should. After all, they are modifieds. In fact, If I had been thinking right,(and not calling races,,) I would've just run my truck in Mod. with nothing more than a battery change. Spec motors with a good battery can fly!! :cool:

Billy just proves that in racing there are the wanna haves, and the gotta haves. You gotta have a charger, but you wanna T35, not the low budget one. All that expensive stuff is really nothing more than eye candy.:cool:

Yeah, I know I have some of it,, but most of mine was bought used!!! Heck, the last new racing vehical I've bought other than the Micro, was my T3,, 3 years ago.:)

So, congates to the winners and to all that came, and I hope to see you soon!!!:cool:

[weekendracer]

CHILL OUT PEOPLE! THE GUY THAT PROTESTED DON'T EVEN RUN SPEC. NEXT SUBJECT........................................... ..........

[JimmyMac]

SOO RON..... You still WANNA have that Dyno?! :D

[LEADFOOT]

errrr...


Rodney, Rob does run spec...Finished 5th in the main.

[Ron Zee]

Well,, no not gotta have it, but now that I do have a lathe,, it would be nice to see if the newly turned motor will be worth anything once I've finished it, instead of waiting for race day to ask someone to do it for me,,,, Anyone wanna Juggernat??

[hangtime]

Since everyone else has put in there 2 cents I thought mybe 2 more wouldn't hert. I know both billy and rob from racing at rosewood and stoney. They're both nice guys. I talked with both of them on sat. and....Rob was disappointed because he knew he most likely couldn't beat billy. So look at it from his point of view. Your all excited to race and in robs case (if he had a good day), would have done much better. So right off the bat with billy in the class chances are slim. Then I know rob thought billy had been racing for a while (because of his skill level) and he thought spec was for beginner class drivers. Billy also told him he entered the class because he most likely would win it. Add all that up plus how BAD rob drove and you get someone who needs to vent somehow.
Now look at it from billys point of view. He wanted to have a full day of racing and wanted to have as much oppertunity to win as possible, so he ran in spec too, because he knows that thats were all the beginner/ok drivers run. And him being a pretty good driver upped is chances of a win. So there is my 2 cents.
We all hve bad days and don't always handle it right so don't give rob a hard time about it. And don't pick on billy obout racing with the kids. Yes Ron your a big(very big) kid.
Ok new subject....Ron what kind of lathe did you get?

[southbornracer]

chance,i knew that was coming:)how about glen starting a novice class so that drivers that wanted to race with matched batteries and motors wouldn't get hammered.i didn't know that i would do that well in spec.thought there would be alittle more competition in that class since it was a regional race.just wanted to run 2 classes.that was the first weekend that i had ever turned 15 laps every race.i didn't say that i knew that i would win just said i had a better chance in spec that stock.anyways that will be the last time i run spec.:p tiffany will take over from here, just wanted to show her how to run that class:D thanks eric,chance,rick,steve,rodney,and all the others that have helped me and are still helping me always giving me driving tips,cutting motors,parts,setups and making this hobby alot of fun...........see most of you guys a stoney point this weekend:) time to put the batteries down and pick up the fuel:D later.............billy

[hangtime]

Now thats a good idea billy, but is there enough people to do that? The turn out at rosewoods been a little light lately. I know that the class would probably do well and would be a good spot for people with that not yet stock running ability. Do you know what the raor clasifications are of classes? I sure hope things get better there (meaning turn out), is glenn still doing the asphalt?

[Ron Zee]

Last I heard was that the track is still in the planning stages, but hopefully, it'll be here soon.

What Lathe?? I bought Elwoods Integy

Now all I gotta do is figure it out,,, that and get some parts that were accidently given to Wayne Palmer. Oh well,,,,:cool:

[hangtime]

Ooh I thought you said you got a lathe in the above thread. Oops. Does Elwood still have anything for sale? Thats to bad he is getting out. Hopefully it won't last long.

[Gonzof1]

Ron-
I've been trying to get your attention over on the Chapel Hill thread. Could you call me? My day/work number is 653-4466(desk), 961-8675(cell) and evenings at home 859-9513. Thanks.

[Ron Zee]

Ok, when I get back to NC, I'll call, or did you try ronzee26@hotmail.com ?

[southbornracer]

hello everyone:) just wanted to know if the track is going to be open this coming saturday?also,if anyone knows the website for the watermelon classic race could you please e-mail it to me.....thank you.............billy

[chiromaster]

Billy,

Don't know about this weekend. The watermelon doesn't have it's own website, it is run by ORA atomic racers. They haven't had a working website in a while.

They do keep an active thread on the sgrid forums. If you have an account there then go to the entrance, then list all forums, select offroad forum and list all items. You should see a thread for the race. I can also tell you anything you need to know. I can fax you a copy of the entry, or I might even have it in MS Word format, I could e-mail it to you.

Did you get my messages about the 1/8? Shoot me an e-mail at chiro972@aol.com.

Eric

[southbornracer]

thanks for the info eric.:) yea if you could e-mail me or fax me the entry form that would be great.just bought a 20 foot cigar boat with a 150 outboard on it..just have to go to fl to pick it up.so,i'm alittle straped for cash.that is a great price on the 1/8 scale and i would love to get it ,but it would be a few weeks before i could.if you haven't sold it by then i'll get it from you.thanks for giving me the ffirst oppurtunity though:) i do have a 87 225sx three wheeler that i'm selling for 900.00,would trade strait up if intrested:) one more toy couldn't hurt.lol.where are you going to be racing this coming weekend?thought i might check out aikens if glen wasn't going to be racing this weekend...or maybe i could try and find my way to king.have no clue where it is though:D well talk to later man...................billy p.s.my phone number is 910-791-0567or 910-547-8163

[Ron Zee]

Hey Billy. too bad your going the wrong way! I could get you a good deal on a motel room if you were going north instead of south.:cool:

I'll be home in Goldsboro tomorrow(maybe) so I'll finsd out from the man himself and post it here and on the Rosewoodrc.com site.

Later,,:cool:

[southbornracer]

glen,,if you need any power lines,water lines or anything else put in the ground i have all of the equipment to do it with...also have a back hoe and push blade to smooth the track down with...charter has been send me as far as rose hill lately.so, if i can help you out with the track at all just let me know.:) can't drive all the way up to chapel hill anymore for just 1 qualifier and a main..well, talk to ya later..............billy

[Tarheel]

Billy, Thanks for the offer. I got your number from a previous post so i'll call you. Pulling up the steel rods and pipe tomorrow. Getting ready to start on the smoothing out part after that. Maybe we can work out some free racing in trade for help?

[southbornracer]

sounds good to me.i'll try and swing by there tomorrow.what time do you plan on starting?

[Tarheel]

Billy, I'll be there around 10am. Have to stop by the store and put in an order, then I can work out there the rest of the day. See you then. Thanks again.

[southbornracer]

glen,sorry i couldn't make it out there today.i was sent to carolina beach.i have 1 mile of cable to bury in a new sub-division before i will be back up that way.hope you didn't get rained on.i was starting to feel like a duck from all the rain we got here today.well,looking forward to some good asphalt action:D talk to ya later ........................billy

[Ron Zee]

I did want to come today Glenn, but I got stuck driving to Va and back again. Seems that they get a lot better deals on pool stuff here than anywhere close to them up in Emporia. So,, geuss who got to drive all the supplies up there.

Billy, on the other post of yours,, that didn't mean your not going to CH this weekend or quitting there alltogether did it?? Man, that's some fun racing out there, just the wait is soooo long between qualifying and then the mains. Not to mention what happens if something goofs up your qualifying run and that makes you run the B-main.:(

Anyhow,, Talk to you all later,, I'm beat. That little Storm of mine though,,,, in the last 5 months, I've put over 5000 miles on it!!!

[southbornracer]

whatz up ron:cool: i know, i've had alot of fun out there at chapel hill.if it was alittle closer it wouldn't be as bad.just to much sitting around in a baking parking lot.

what do you think about putting together some kind of points race once glen gets the asphalt track finished.that is the worst thing about not racing at chapel hill anymore...giving up my points.:) well,talk to ya'll later..............billy

[JimmyMac]

Somebody say Asphalt? Nahhh must be dreaming.... :o

[Gonzof1]

I know someone who is gonna HATE not having you at the track, Billy. That would be me. However, I do stand to benefit greatly from your absence. In a week or two I'll move into second place in Nitro Truck. Right now, if you drop the lowest two points of all the competitors, I'm about third or so. With you backing out I've now got a decent shot at it.

All of this is tongue-in-cheek. I REALLY enjoy you being there. You and Tiffany will be sorely missed. We all think it sucks to have to sit and roast all day for two lousy races per class. But you and I have had some pretty good fights with our trucks. We all hope you are not quitting cold turkey and will join us every now and then for a little more truck bashing. We'll still be seeing y'all at Hope Mills? Right? And once Glenn gets the asphalt track up I'll be there too... I think.

Give Tiff a hug for all of us and we'll miss y'all this weekend.

Later doooooood,
G-

[southbornracer]

i wouldn't give this sport up for nothin.:D i really enjoy passing i mean racing you to.lol:) i won't miss a weekend once glen gets the track together.i like racing the croud there at rosewood.they after all are the ones who got me going.finally figured out why tif's truck was so slow.i had her esc set all the way down.we are going to the warm up race in aikens this weekend and i can't wait to see how she does in novice class now that she has got some speed on her side.:)

wonder if glen is going to set up all the same class that they are running at chapel hill.would like to see a novice class and a spec class if there are enough people to do it.i'm sure everybody knows why(part-time):rolleyes:

gonzof1, see you in a couple of weeks at stoney point.that was a great stock truck race last time...chance,hopfully you will be in it next time.:) well, talk to ya'll later................billy

[Tarheel]

No prob Billy, I know how it is. Well i got some of the pipe up today. The metal rods are tough to pull out, but there comming slowly but surely. Got a little rain today, but it did not deture TEAM ROSEWOOD! Yes sir, nore rain or snow or sleet or hail, wait, thats the mail. Sorry, got carried away. I'll be plugging away during the week after 5:30 when the store closes. All day wednesday, and usually on saturday after 2pm. ROSEWOODS asphalt track is in the making folks. Tell all whom you know. Spred the word throughout the land, Rosewood will rise again. Wait, i'm getting carried away again. Maybe i got to much sun today. Maybe i should see a doctor or something. Oh well, it's 4am in the morning, maybe i should go back to bed. :o Stay tuned; THINK ASPHALT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

[Tarheel]

THINK ASPHALT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!black gold, texas tee, wait thats oil. I MUST of got to much sun today.:o I'm really going to bed now. See ya.

[Part-time]

wonder if glen is going to set up all the same class that they are running at chapel hill.would like to see a novice class and a spec class if there are enough people to do it.i'm sure everybody knows why(part-time)


Billy,
Your not still on that kick are you? I appologized and made it known that I had a big bug up my but that day and made an a$$ out of myself (must of had pms or something):rolleyes:. And that I thought that spec was for beginner/novice drivers like my self. I didn't know that people with a good driving ability (like you) were aloud in the class. (no offence to the other drivers in spec)
Now I know different. Plus you probably won't have to worry about seeing me until the winter. I don't have the $$ to get a car for asphalt.

[southbornracer]

part-time no hard feeling just giving you a hard time;) you can still run off-road at stoney point.it's in hope mills,so don't know how far of a trip that would be for you.definetly worth it though, it is a awsome track.you can also run trucks in chapel hill, but ask gonzof1 they can't touch the touring cars.talk to ya'll later ................billy

[Gonzof1]

HEY! That's not funny! :p I can hold my own there. I finished forth in the A-Main last month because Jimmy broke his TC3 and ended up in the B-Main. Trucks are tough... touring cars are fragile... problem is they are fast :mad:

G-

[Ron Zee]

Hey, come on now,, not all those big wheeled trucks are slow!!! In fact, X-Ray, (asI call it) will be coming with me this weekend to C.H. Now, I may not race it, but I am going out to see what it'll do this year. It didn't do all that bad last year when it was set-up for oval,,,,,, and it's won every race it's been in out at Va. Beach,, I'd like to see what'll do now,,,, and no,, not all the drivers out there at Va Beach in the truck class were kids.

Anyhow, Rosewood is going to be open for indoor offroad on June 15th, so tell your freinds. For more info, call Glenn at the hobby store, or go to www.rosewoodrc.com

See Ya!!!:cool:

[southbornracer]

sounds good ron,i'll be there:D good luck at chapel hill.hope you catch up to jimmy.sometimes he makes it look to easy:p talk to ya'll later...............billy

[Part-time]

15th sounds good to me, my trigger finger is itching like crazy.:D

[JimmyMac]

Easy? hehe, actually it's alot of work! But then again, I've been racing Touring Cars since 96. Of course I started RC back in 86. But I know it doesn't show in off road. lol :D Well, maybe on the outdoor track. I suck on the indoor. Maybe someday I'll try Stoney Point again. Haven't been there since I started back up in RC last year. I dunno, I just don't do too good with indoor tracks. Anyways, I might make the 15th, I might not. Not sure. They will more than likely have me work that Saturday since I'm off this weekend and I'll be on vacation next weekend. Who knows, but I'll try. I haven't put up my truck just yet! Hey Glenn, if I bring an EMaxx, can I try it on the indoor track for fun? :D Well guys and gals... see you on the flip side!

Jimmy Mac

[Ron Zee]

Hey Jimmy, if you bring yours and we can get Wayne Palmer to bring his wife and her E-Maxx, I'll even bring out the Jugg,,, at least you both'll have someone to hammer on!!! LOLOL:)

[Ron Zee]

And not to start too much, but didn't Steve Davis pretty much own the outdoor offroad last year at Rosewood?:confused:

[JimmyMac]

He pretty much did. But then again I was just getting back into RC last year. First time actually racing offroad since 89. I've love to give it a go again out there, but uhhhh it's kinda tore down now. :D Not that I'm complaining about that. :p Hmmm you bring your monster truck, I'll bring mine.. and Wayne with the other one... anyone else?? That would be cool...

Jimmy Mac

[jeremymoemorris]

Does anyone know what happend to the sgrid site, or is it just my cpu??????

[LEADFOOT]

jeremy,

it's back up and werkin now

[Tarheel]

Ron stop by the store as early as posible today if you can. Need to talk to you asap. Thanks.
Don't forget to pass the word, we are racing on the 15th of june indoors. See ya.

[JimmyMac]

Ron's in Virginia and won't be back til like Thursday or Friday.

[Ron Zee]

I may be back in Goldsboro tomorrow if I get a certain phone call on Wed. As soon as Sam's Club calls, I'll be working again!! I'll be a productive member of society again,, yeah right,,

Anyhow, applied for a job there and when they call, it'll be to report my first day. Sucky thing is though,, I have to start out part time, and you all know what that means,,, probably no weekends off.

So,, that being said,, who wants to learn how to run the Rosewood computer?? Just in case I don't make it there early enough??? Or if at all??

Anyhow, hope to see you when I get back Glenn,, what's up??

[JimmyMac]

Poor Ron! I guess that means I shouldn't have to worry about you catching me in my points lead at Chapel Hill huh!? :D I called the other day and Carl said you wouldn't be back til sometime Thursday. So what's the word Ron? Anyways, gotta get ready I guess. Heading up to Boston this weekend. Hmmm wondering if they are having any races up there Sunday... Hmmmmm gotta check the track up there.... see if they are done with their out door asphalt track.

Speaking of which, how is Glenns outdoor coming along? Well let me go..... see yall next weekend....

Jimmy Mac

[southbornracer]

ron-hopefully you will be able to make it next sat. to race, but if not tif wouldn't have a problem with the program.also was wondering if she could run the buggy in spec class?i put it back together for her and she did pretty good with it in aikens.hope you can make it:) won't be the same with out you annoucing the races.with you and me not being able to make to chapel hill every weekend jimmy is going to walk away with the points.:D good luck with the job hope it all works out for ya..talk to ya'll later .................billy

[Ron Zee]

Well, it is called Spec Trucks,, but the person who has final say is Glenn, so that's the one you need to ask. There is a big weight difference between buggys and trucks though. Lighter rotating mass too in the tire area also would mean better acceleration than the trucks have. On the down side though is that the buggies are narrower and a little shorter than the trucks, so they don't seem to handle as stable as the trucks do. You really need to get him to say yes or no on this one. Nothing against anyone, but me for one, it's been trucks from the start of this class, lets keep it trucks.

Anyhow,, it's 90+ up here in Va. as I type this and there's a pool outside,,, guess where I'm headed???

Ron Z:cool:

[JimmyMac]

Not gonna make it to Rosewood next weekend. Work just said it's mandatory to work Every Saturday for a month. So that leaves me out. At least I have Sundays off. I won't work Sundays. Anyways, still no word on Glenns Asphalt? Hmmmm well let me head out. Getting my laundry done for my big long drive tomorrow. I would stop by and see Ron but I figure he'll be back in town by then. Plus it'll be late. (guess I can't dive in the pool!! Drats!!!) Well take it easy guys and gals..


Jimmy Mac

[Ron Zee]

Hmmm, nothing new?? Well, here's one for ya,,, I started working again this week, and the scedule was made, and I did try to get it off, but I'll be working this upcoming Sat. So,,,, Who is the lucky one I get to instruct on the 'puter upstairs ,and more important than that,,, when???? Just starting a new job, can't very well say "oh by the way, I don't want to work so I can go play." Anyhow,,, maybe next time. So,,, Billy, I'll have a truck Tiff can borrow if you want,,,,,:(

[southbornracer]

ron-man that sucks you can't make it sat.:( man, that would be cool if tif could borrow your ride man.i was trying to figure out a way to put her truck back together without buying parts.i used some of the t2 parts on may gt to rebuild it after that crash on the straitaway at chapel hill.starting a new contract in chapel hill/durham , so funds are tight right now.:cool: tif has volunteered to run the computer also.except for spec class of course.:D alright man got to go.need some sleep for that drive back and forth to chapel hill everyday.talk to ya later........................billy

[Ron Zee]

I'll bring it up there and drop it off before I go to work, and I'll show her how to run thr 'puter too. You will have to find someway to charge the batteries though, I use the red and black connecters, but alligater clips work on them too,,,

[southbornracer]

thanks ron:D i'll see you there.sucks you are having to work though.:( i'm moving to durham hopefully this weekend.been putting in 14 hour days driving from wilmington to durham everyday.going to have to go back to chapel hill track now that i'll be so close:) talk to you tommorow..............................billy

[Tarheel]

Next race day will be July 13th. Open at 12 noon, race at 3 pm. See you there i hope.

[Ron Zee]

I hope I'll be able to get that Sat. off but it's not looking good right now. :(

See you all soon!!!:cool:

[Ron Zee]
