Sorry to hear about your house. At least no one was hurt or killed during the fire.

Re: Video from my work!

Not sure I've ever flown Republic out of Chicago, but If I do, I'll be sure to ask the flight attendant if the pilot is into RC cars.

The worst thing that we've ever sucked up our engine at work was a ladder left in the test cell. On the runway the items are endless.

Re: Odd Request...... Riding Tractor Parts

If you can find an 80's Deere (316 gas, 318 gas or 430 diesel) for a decent price, I would buy one. They are the last of the quality Deere lawn and garden tractors made. The other older option is the 140 Deere from the late 60s - early 70s. My dad bought his 140 Deere Patio (White & Orange optio...

Re: TrackMaster Equalizer

"Bat Wedge was a weird body, I've got one NIP. Was it popular back in the day?" Yes, the Bat Wedges were popular back in the day and some people claim it led to the downfall of dirt oval racing. (Just one of the many reasons). I have always been amazed at thin (.010"-.015") the l...

Re: UF1 Midwest comes to Alpha RC Raceways Carbondale IL

Thanks for posting the F1 race.

I've heard rumors that F1 is going to start up in CT as Tony Phalen has moved here from CA. I've got my fingers crossed that this will happen.

Re: UF1 Midwest comes to Alpha RC Raceways Carbondale IL

I can't make the trip out to see the UF1 race, but please keep us posted how it turns out. I would especially like to see pics of the cars/event if you have time as I've always wanted to race F1 (but no one races the class in the North East).

Re: Graphite. Another dirtoval car.

"As for the body, I tried to get in contact with Jack Johnson about my old Cadillac and was informed he was physically unable to sign autographs" I knew Jack has been sick for the last couple of years, but didn't think he was that bad. I thought I saw him a couple of times this past summer...

Charles Morgan ran the Oldsmobile Aurora at the 24hrs of Daytona in 1996. My friend was on his pit crew for a couple of years.

Re: Pro-Line Waffle tire for Dirt Oval

Before the Pro-line waffle took off at Walt's old track (clay oval in basement with rc truck pulling in middle), the rear tire to have was a Tamiya Lancia. You had to trim down the inner ring to get them to fit the RC-10 rims.

I hope your going to hand out RC-10s instead of cigars.
