Hey I'm in NOVA. I was supposed to come earler this week but ran into some trouble with my front brakes. Finally got the parts to fix my car yesterday and drove down last night. If you need any additional racers for your HFAY event, let me know. Maya and I would like to race!

Brandon, you guys should definately come and run with us again. More people just mean more fun when it comes to racing.. As VAzRACER said, we should be getting to the store around 11.. Hopefully we'll see you there...

it was soo nice to get back to racing, if only for an hour or so.

the loaner core worked flawlessly. i did a crash course on core management for the guys before i had to leave. i hope all went well for the rest of the day?

i have an extra thumb drive which i will brand and leave with the core computer for whomever will be submitting the results. james usually does this but i'm not certain how often he will be coming up this season with $4+ gas?

boy my driving was ruf today... 2 month break really brought down my driving which was never top noth to start but by the last race i had a 9 lap improvement so it comes back to you.


tall, please let me know what saturdays are available for hfay?

did you gegt f1 in? do you think we can do this with all the regulars? would it be better do to f1 on a 2nd date?

We did get F1 finished, we ended up only running the mains since there was just three people. Getting this done with more racers will be tight but I think we could do it. If we only run one set of heats instead of two it would give us a little more time. I think when we get more people there we can really see how it would work out. If we start at a reasonalbe time it should work out just fine.

The only Saturday we can race in August is the 30th.

I have the core system and the set of batteries you let Brandon use.

Soy came by when we were racing f1, he waited for us to finished and picked up the results for the day.

We took it easy most of the day and finished around 5pm. After that we just practiced a little packed up and got some food. I didnt drive as good as I would have liked to either but all in all it was good to be back and I hope more people can join us next time.

Hey Guys,

I've been out of the loop for a while. I haven't been home for a single weekend in July but things should settle down a little bit. I don't know if I'll be competing in this seasons HFAY but I might come out for some of the club racing. I'll be trolling the forums a bit more in the coming weeks.

Checking in

What's up, DC? It has been a while.

Between traveling for work, vacations and home maintenance, I hadn't touched the cars for two months until this weekend.

I finally updated the motor and did some maintenance on the AWD.
Now I need to spend some time getting the 2.4 chassis up to speed.

Is anyone planning to do some tuning and fun runs over the next few weeks?

CCson, a couple of us were considering setting something up within the next 2 weeks.. While we were racing the HFAY track this weekend Saint Arpus stopped in and was asking if we were planning on doing some fun runs in the near future.. What day would be good for you?? We can usually setup at Hobbyworks on Wednesday evening during the week.. Or we could setup outside the store on a Saturday or Sunday, which I would prefer, but anytime is good for me.. If anybody has any ideas on when to run, I'd be interested to know so that I can give Courtney the 2 weeks advance notice to reserve the space outside the store...

Arch, I talked to Tallgeese this week about the August HFAY and he said that he went ahead and reserved the 30th for it. Maybe you could setup a thread for it to give everyone a heads up. It be nice to see more people at the next race. Thanks, VA.
