Southern Indoor Championship

[skeller]

This would be a good race to showcase Caster at. Seems like we have a few guys in the southeast that might could make this......

I thought about this one shane but the horizon hobby shootout in IL is the same weekend. I guess I'm going to hit that one just cause it's a bit closer and some buddies north of me are going so the expense bill wont be that bad.

[vnmsgt]

How the hell do you guys get all these days off from work every to travel to these races??? I am lucky if I get one saturday off every 2 months!!! I have to go to the races held on sundays around here.

Strateeeegery.....:eek: <*&

[vnmsgt]

What hurts me is I am the only person at my dealership that works on motors, ski's, Mules and Rhino's so I am always busy and nobody else works on them but me so its hard to get the days off.

[Jonathan Bell]

I have a set amount of vacation days that I can take off. All will used up on week days though I almost never have to work sat. I usually get about 13 paid days off a year. 1 week goes to the family vacation, 3 days to Indoor Gas champs every year, and the others distributed out to other races that just pop up I would want to attend. As of this week they put us on 4 10 hr days so I get monday off now. I am running short on time to take off but things usually slow down around fall so I may try to slide in a yound boy move!!! cough...cough.....cough lmao :)

[skeller]

:DI'd hate for me to be the only Caster drier there.:D

H2K Construction has donated $1000.00 to the Pro buggy purse.


That should get some attention.:D:D

[vnmsgt]

I get vacation days too but since I get paid like a manager at my job we do not get paid for our vacation days. You just get time off with no pay! I get 2 weeks but never want to take off because I get no pay!

[bc24fl]

What, serious no paid vacations. I thought that was standard in a benefits package. Is that standard in your industry or just company specific?

[vnmsgt]

What, serious no paid vacations. I thought that was standard in a benefits package. Is that standard in your industry or just company specific?

Just company. The owner thinks since he pays you alot more like managers and stuff then you get no paid vacations, just days off.

[lowlife88]

Shane, I've already registered and will be there Rep-in' Caster in full force!!!!!!!!!?&^
I've been there the past two years.

[skeller]

SWEET!!!

[lowlife88]

I'll bring my "fun bags" of silicone with me!!! LOL

[skeller]

Hell yeah!


Hopefully I'll have a box of silicone here this week.(Fusion) :#$

[lowlife88]

I just hope they have it vented a little better then last year. I pitted in-side. What a mistake!!!!!

[skeller]

I've got 6 industrial fans lined up to help with that.


I pitted inside last year also....the dust bothered me worse. The PNB in Atl to me was worse with nitro fumes.

[lowlife88]

Ya, there was NO WAY I was going to pit in side there (PNB)!!!!! When you walked in, it was just a low dense fog. Not to mention it was freezing in there. But on the other hand, it had some bad a$$ jumps!!!!!!:D:D:D

[vnmsgt]

Hey lowlife, will you have room for one more person to go??:D

[skeller]

Hey lowlife, will you have room for one more person to go??:D


I guess you got that e-mail?:#$

[lowlife88]

Hey lowlife, will you have room for one more person to go??:D

I'm sure we can make room for one more "caster" driver to go along. :D You'll love this race. I've had fun evrytime I've went.

[vnmsgt]

Well I am going to see what I can do between my work and wife. You will get a PM in a minute.

[hakmazter]

It sounds like skeller is running the show there anyways with all the fans and the sponsorship, etc....you will probably get rockstar treatment if you go...

[skeller]

I'm not runnin' the show....just tryin' to help.:)

[vnmsgt]

I am going to try and go. We'll see. PLUS Alan Burton said he will pay my entry fee if I go to make up for some things, (he finally got back with me yesterday).?&^

[skeller]

Just been confirmed that Bobby Moore will be building the track for this event.....oooooh it's gonna be badass!! :)

[hakmazter]

bring cameras and video cameras.....and someone who knows how to videotape good.....we need more videos!!!

Good luck to all!

[lowlife88]

Bobby does a great job with tracks. That race is always good. Tons of door prizes and tons of free stuff handed out after the race. :D And as always,......... Great coverage by magazines.

[lowlife88]

VNM, get with me if ya wanna ride up. Also if there is any others wishing to hit this event send me a PM so we can either car pool or pit together. Also, chris, it might be a great place to bring a few kits and parts to sell. Money,money, mooneeyyy!!!!!!;)

[skeller]

We've upped the anty a little bit guys.....guaranteed $1000.00 payout in ALL pro classes. This is regardless of entries....more entries means even more payout.

[lowlife88]

Come on all team drivers let's show out in full force!!!!!! Plus anybody else that wants to show what CASTER is REALLY about!!!! Let's do this and take home some green in the process.

[skeller]

It's gonna be a blast fo sho!!

[YourDogg]

:(:(:( i wish i could go....but i live in canada.....and would probably suck at racing anyways......but i wanna try.....:(

[vnmsgt]

Hey lowlife, what day are you leaving to go up there, this way I know what days to ask of off. I'm going for it;)

[bc24fl]

We've upped the anty a little bit guys.....guaranteed $1000.00 payout in ALL pro classes. This is regardless of entries....more entries means even more payout.

Ok what exactly does that mean? $1000 will be shared for 1st 2nd 3rd in all the pro classes?

So if there Truggy and Buggy then there's a total of 2k? Or is it $1000 split everywhere?

[skeller]

Right now it's 1k split 1-3...We're pulling for 1k to 1st....$500. to 2nd...and $250. to3rd. That's what we want to see...very possible at this point. It's hard to throw those numbers out everywhere until you know fo sho how many entries you have....that's why it's been posted like it has.

[vnmsgt]

Hey why don't you go up there to race too? This way we can all get together.

[hakmazter]

So is there any way that you 3 florida guys could carpool?

[bc24fl]

I can probably make it. Can someone confirm the dates you will be leaving them returning? It would be a sad day for you guys though if a rookie wins ?&^

[vnmsgt]

I am waiting for lowlife to let me know. I will probably be going with him as I will not drive all that way. I will probably call him later. Will let you know. At least if you go I can actually beat somebody LOL! :&!@<*&

[hakmazter]

whatever, you will have a body fly off or a servo strip out or you will think of me and blank out and end up in the audience......

I'll send you guys lunch money for a day if you go....

[hakmazter]

how many entries are expected total?

[hakmazter]

S.I.C. challenge....

Every heat and main you finish, I'll pay you $1. Every heat and main you DNF, you owe me $2. There will be plenty of witnesses.........

[skeller]

how many entries are expected total?

Last year the race was called the A.I.C.....and there was over 200 entries. I've been to the last 3 or 4 and there have always been 150+ entries.

[bc24fl]

I'll send you guys lunch money for a day if you go....


Is that offer for Team Drivers only? Me gets hungry too! :)

[vnmsgt]

whatever, you will have a body fly off or a servo strip out or you will think of me and blank out and end up in the audience......

I'll send you guys lunch money for a day if you go....

That is just wrong :rolleyes: Anyways if the servo strips out then it will be the Caster one LOL!

[vnmsgt]

BTW is this the race I have seen on youtube where there is a huge jump that throws your car like 50ft straight up in the air??

[skeller]

BTW is this the race I have seen on youtube where there is a huge jump that throws your car like 50ft straight up in the air??


No...that was the Psycho Nitro Blast in Atl.

[bc24fl]

OMG, 725 miles from here to the track. If I get a generous 20 mpg, fuel will cost me roughly $300 here and back. A$$uming 3 night stay at $100 / night plus food / beer :) that's another $300. Extra clutches, pads, tires $100.

That brings my total to around $800 (with toll & pit stops). If I'm a 10 to 1 dog to win $500, I still earn a net loss of -$300. Oops forgot to subtract a free lunch. Net loss would be -$290. :confused:

[vnmsgt]

Well me and you might be able to go with Lowlife if he has room for one more. If so I tell you what. If you drive to my house, you are in miami right?, the I drive to his house, and we all go with him! Alot less cost for fuel!

[skeller]

That's how we roll!!:#$

[skeller]

I should be there all week helping with the build....I can reserve an area for the Caster guys.



Does anyone have a Caster banner?

[vnmsgt]

Dude I just saw the video on the site for the race :eek::eek::eek::eek: COUNT ME IN!!!!!?&^?&^ That looks *@$#'n AWESOME!! I am going to put my time off at work tomorrow!

[skeller]

Dude I just saw the video on the site for the race :eek::eek::eek::eek: COUNT ME IN!!!!!?&^?&^ That looks *@$#'n AWESOME!! I am going to put my time off at work tomorrow!

That's what I like to hear...:&!@:):)

[bc24fl]

Ok, let me know if you have room for a 5'10 / 205 lb 'er ASAP so I can break it to the wife.

[skeller]

Did you watch the video?

[bc24fl]

Wow just saw the vid, can you say 7 ports!

[vnmsgt]

I just spoke to Troy (lowlife) and he said it should be no problem for you to come. BTW we mapquested my house to his and it was under 5 hours! Oh yeah!! I am going to drive up to his place on OCT. 8th probably about 3pm I will leave and stay the night at his place.

Where does lowlife live?

[vnmsgt]

Chipley FL.

[bc24fl]

Ok.

Can someone explain to me how these work?

pro truggy 6 min 45 min 30 min 20 min 10 min 10 min VIEW ENTRIES (http://tracks.rcsignup.com/tracks/displayEntries.cfm?ID=309&CID=846) http://events.rcsignup.com/shared/images/template/button_signup_up.gif (http://racers.rcsignup.com/racers/regEvent.cfm?ID=309)
3 qualifiers - 6 mintutes each. 13 car mains + 2 Bumps.

What does all of this mean.

Can you start from my first step on the track until I finish. What will the procedure be and how do they determine if I run C, B ,A mains???

[vnmsgt]

I will let skeller do this one. I have just done club races and one state race so it might be different for me. Good luck in Pro truggy though LOL!

[skeller]

Thursday is practice...a mix of open and controlled.


Friday you will run 3 6 min. qualifiers.....your best 2 will determine how you qualify.


Saturday the mains will be run....starting with the lower mains which I think are all 10 min. below the B main.

[bc24fl]

I will let skeller do this one. I have just done club races and one state race so it might be different for me. Good luck in Pro truggy though LOL!

Why? What better than compete with the best? ?&^

Why, you're doing sportsman? I may do that too.

[vnmsgt]

Can you register when we get there or do you have to pre-register?

I think PRO will be a little over my head for now.

[bc24fl]

Saturday the mains will be run....starting with the lower mains which I think are all 10 min. below the B main.

Ok so I only run what I qualify for (c, b, or a)? So it will be just 1 race.

If we get there on Wed, are we allowed to practice all day? That would be sweet.

[skeller]

11 cars will make each main....the top 2 finishers in each main will advance to the next main....making a 13 car field.

[skeller]

Can you register when we get there or do you have to pre-register?

I think PRO will be a little over my head for now.


Pre register...pay now if you can. If not....register now and pay at the track.


You don't wanna run Pro Truggy.:D

[bc24fl]

If I do pro and get last place would I still be able to run or not? Sorry, and I'll have to read some roar rules... just asking.

Chris, it's only $60, why not run pro too?

[skeller]

Ok so I only run what I qualify for (c, b, or a)? So it will be just 1 race.

If we get there on Wed, are we allowed to practice all day? That would be sweet.


No practice on Wed. All day Thurs.

You qualify in the D main....that's all you run on Sat. unless you bump up.

[bc24fl]

Ah ok, so only 33 will run 11 for each main. The rest will pay $60 for giggles. correct?

[bc24fl]

What's wrong with running D main? Is it the embarrasment because I don't really care about that? Don't worry I won't have any Caster stickers on my car :) .

[skeller]

If I do pro and get last place would I still be able to run or not? Sorry, and I'll have to read some roar rules... just asking.

Chris, it's only $60, why not run pro too?


Everyone who pays runs on Sat...there may be a M or N main. Everyone is placed in a main.



If you can...run sportsman.


Comp. level in Pro classes is retarded.


I will be lucky to make the C main.

[bc24fl]

YOu know what, I should read the roar rules before asking these dumb questions.. sorry. I'll read tomorrow and ask if I need further direction. Thanks.

[skeller]

Ah ok, so only 33 will run 11 for each main. The rest will pay $60 for giggles. correct?


If you pay to race....you will run 3 6 min qualifiers and at least 1 main.


Price for Pro and Sportsman is the same.

[skeller]

What's wrong with running D main? Is it the embarrasment because I don't really care about that? Don't worry I won't have any Caster stickers on my car :) .



D main in this kind of comp would be good.



I finished 14th at the PNB....I think I was 44th of 140.



That was last in the D main.

[vnmsgt]

Believe me, I ran the state race and had practice one day, 3-5 min. qualifiers the next and one 10 minute main and it was alot if you can believe that. It should be a blast especially being to hang out will all those guys and see some AWESOME racing!

[bc24fl]

If you pay to race....you will run 3 6 min qualifiers and at least 1 main.


Price for Pro and Sportsman is the same.

Ah ok. So none of you are running pro? WTF? Have some f'cn balls! :D

[vnmsgt]

Sort of like traveling 3 states away to watch a 3 hour nascar race and all the festivities then go home but being able to participate in the racing I would say.

[skeller]

Ah ok. So none of you are running pro? WTF? Have some f'cn balls! :D


I am runnin Pro....always.:D

[vnmsgt]

Ah ok. So none of you are running pro? WTF? Have some f'cn balls! :D

Go ahead a run PRO I would love to video tape it. I do not think Hak would like it too much having a Caster look that bad in a PRO Class :&!@:&!@

[skeller]

I'm goin to load my truck....gotta points race Sat.




Practice tomorrow.:):)

[bc24fl]

Go ahead a run PRO I would love to video tape it. I do not think Hak would like it too much having a Caster look that bad in a PRO Class :&!@:&!@

Good Skeller, at least you have some nuts!! Hope you win!

Chris, I'll throw a 8T RTR body on so don't worry. <*&

And who cares what Hak thinks... he isn't sponsoring any of it but a taco. <*& :p:p

[vnmsgt]

Hey skeller, how hard would it be to run 2 classes there, truggy and buggy. I would not want to feel rushed in between quals and stuff.

[skeller]

At big races like this...you usually have plenty of time to run 2 classes.

Running 2 is hard either way....that's why I quit running 1/10 this year.

[vnmsgt]

I guess I am just going to have to decide on buggy or truggy.:confused:

[skeller]

I guess I am just going to have to decide on buggy or truggy.:confused:


I would run 1 class...you'll have more fun without the stress.

[vnmsgt]

Well I just signed up for the Sportsman Truggy class.

[skeller]

SWEET!!!

[bc24fl]

Well I just signed up for the Sportsman Truggy class.

@ussy :#$

[skeller]

Dude...sportsman classes at these races are alot tougher than you think.

[hakmazter]

Run your caster stickers and bodies. I would rather have the exposure.... besides, people will know if it it the product or the driver.

Looks like I will have to put some cash in the box then Skeller... ygpm...

[vnmsgt]

I still cannot believe I am going to this so far away. My wife is already giving me dirty looks :mad: LOL!

[skeller]

I still cannot believe I am going to this so far away. My wife is already giving me dirty looks :mad: LOL!


If you've never been to a big regional type event....you will be blown away....but have the best time and learn more stuff than you ould ever believe.

[skeller]

This track is only 110 mi. from my house....but I've raced as far away from my house as Lafayette, La and Bossier City, La.....that's around9 hrs from here.

[vnmsgt]

That's crazy! Maybe after this I will understand how you guys do it. It must be alot of fun to make you want to travel that far.

[bc24fl]

Dude...sportsman classes at these races are alot tougher than you think.

I'm sure they are competitive but why not compete in both if you have the opportunity to do so? What is the worst that can happen, you lose, embarrassment? So what.

If it's the money, then I'll go on record and pay vnmsgt entry fee to the pro truggy. Do it!! ?&^

You mean run pro and sportsman?

or buggy and truggy?

[bc24fl]

You mean run pro and sportsman?

or buggy and truggy?

Can't you run pro truggy and sportsman truggy.. or not?

[bc24fl]

Can't you run pro truggy and sportsman truggy.. or not?

If not can you run truggy pro and buggy sportsman or vice versa?

[skeller]

You can run pro OR sportsman....not both.

[bc24fl]

You can run pro OR sportsman....not both.

what about buggy pro and truggy sportsman?

[skeller]

You can do that...just not pro and sportsman in the same class type.



Some of the fastest drivers in the eastcoast as well as the south usually run this race.

[bc24fl]

You can do that...just not pro and sportsman in the same class type.

Cool vnmsgt, bring your buggy to pro. My offer still stands if ya want it.



Some of the fastest drivers in the eastcoast as well as the south usually run this race.

Great!, a good assessment of your current skills ?&^

[lowlife88]

whatever, you will have a body fly off or a servo strip out or you will think of me and blank out and end up in the audience......

I'll send you guys lunch money for a day if you go....

Lunch on Hak @ RED LOBSTERS!!!!!!!! yyyaaaaaa

[lowlife88]

S.I.C. challenge....

Every heat and main you finish, I'll pay you $1. Every heat and main you DNF, you owe me $2. There will be plenty of witnesses.........

I'd settle for spare caster parts! lol

[vnmsgt]

Cool vnmsgt, bring your buggy to pro. My offer still stands if ya want it.




Great!, a good assessment of your current skills ?&^

I will have both with me just in case. I would not want to be running all over to run both cars but would like to enjoy the race and learn alot instead of worrying but we will see.

SO YOU GOING OR WHAT??

I spoke to troy and he said we will drive back on sunday morning.

[lowlife88]

I should be there all week helping with the build....I can reserve an area for the Caster guys.



Does anyone have a Caster banner?

I've been askin for one. Hak, can you help us out in this department?????

[vnmsgt]

Ahhhhh.... the elusive Caster Banner......

BTW I have a GO Tech Banner since all 4 of us are running Go Techs.

[lowlife88]

Ah ok. So none of you are running pro? WTF? Have some f'cn balls! :D

Pro buggy and pro truggy here!<*&<*&"ka

[vnmsgt]

I like to run it destruction derbies (sportsman class according to troy) LOL!

[vnmsgt]

Trying to get my post percentage back up....

[lowlife88]

Ok guys, I think it's official. There will be 4 Florida drivers attending this race as follows: Lowlife88(AKA Troy) team driver, Corey Gladish-Team Driver, vnmsgt-team driver, and bc24fl. Skeller, what kind of pitting arrangements can you make for us. We'll have a trailer but I would like to set up a easy-up in side the area as well. Probly by the left side bay door. Unless you have a better spot for us.

[bc24fl]

Pro buggy and pro truggy here!<*&<*&"ka

That's the attitude!

Anyway, my wife quickly said it's ok but from 13 years of marriage I'm sure something will come up. I will tell you for sure at the end of the week.

vnmsgt, you disappoint me. There is no real reason why you can't throw that buggy in pro. If you were my son I'd kick your @ss for not even trying. You may never get that opportunity again. Your biggest competition is not the "fast" racers but your head. Getting those neg thoughts out is half the battle. That pretty much applies to anything in life.

Blood Sweat and Tears Baby!!

[skeller]

Left side....looking at the DS on the left...big door?

Soak it up and enjoy and dont forget to steel with the eyes and ears ;)

[lowlife88]

I can't wait to see vnm's reaction to a "big race". Next thing I know, he'll be hitting all the pro series races with me next!!! ?&^<*&?&^

[Jonathan Bell]

I love going to big races. the atmosphere is unlike anything you will experience. To be there with several friends makes it even better. I'm headed to the horizon hobby shootout that weekend due it only being a 3 day event. I'm going to try and make the indoor classic next year though.

[lowlife88]

Skeller, good news. We have another donator to the S.I.C., call me I'l give ya the info.

[lowlife88]

Anybody else near or around the northern alabama area needs to really consider hitting this race so we have a really big showing for caster at this race. I know we have plenty of caster cars and drivers that could make the trip. Lets make it happen guys!!!

Let's get a head count of everybody that's going
lowlife88 +1

[skeller]

Uhhh....I'm goin'.:#$

[vnmsgt]

Me too.

[lowlife88]

I wish you guys the best and I'm sure you'll do good over there.

Sure....whatever.<*&<*&

[razzor]

You could join the road trip :)

[vnmsgt]

Well guys I went ahead and signed up for Truggy too! Sounds like I will not be rushed at all running 2 classes. Hope it all works out. Caster's got to represent with a truggy too since nobody else is running one.

[razzor]

Well good luck and enjoy.
Big events are just a ball and a opportunity to soak up info and steal with the eyes and ears :)

[bc24fl]

Congrats. What motor will you be running in the Truggy?

[hakmazter]

I could have run every class if I would have had enough batteries and chargers. No maintenance at all over here, except the rear body mount loosened up about 3 turns after heat 2....

Might as well just pull the trigger.

[vnmsgt]

Congrats. What motor will you be running in the Truggy?

I just put a Modded AXE Rossi Cobra I had sitting around in it. Will try it out tonight at practice at a local track.

[lowlife88]

Well, did it out out perform your 7-port? huh huh??????

[razzor]

Hoe the Axe was pre runnin.
They take a long time to runnin.
Only start waking up after 6/8 liters of fuel.

[vnmsgt]

Well, did it out out perform your 7-port? huh huh??????

I do not think it had the top end of the 7 port but was better on the bottom.

[razzor]

Think you need to look at a member verification link that the bots/spammers cant crook.

[lowlife88]

Time is tickin' down!!!!! Everybody ready??????

[skeller]

Time is tickin' down!!!!! Everybody ready??????


I'm heading down with my camper this Sunday. Start the build Mon morn.




Gonna be a blast!!!!:):)

[vnmsgt]

I am ready. Might run the truggy one last time before SIC this sunday at a club race. Have not ran it for a little bit due to some problems that got fixed today.

[lowlife88]

shane, make sure you all take some build up pictures and post them if possible. Hell, put a video together like horton did in the past. That made everybody even more eager to come as well as brought some more people to the race that probly wasn't going to go. Just an idea.?&^

DUH!! :&!@

[lowlife88]

Alright there, smart a$$!!!!
Since your so "on top" of things, have you video'd the arena bare with nothing in it yet???? And do you plan on posting the pics/video's on the S.I.C web site? I figured yawl would of had a place on the web site for updates, that way people would keep going back to check for updates. Also did you let someone know to get ahold of skinny?

[skeller]

I don't do the website....I just take the pics.



I haven't been to the arena since last year.


I have talked to Skinny.



Someone will post progress pics.....I won't have net all week cause I'm stayin' at the track.

[lowlife88]

Talk bout devoted!!!!! LOL

[bc24fl]

Good luck on the race fellas.

[lowlife88]

You know you wanna go.......SO JUST DO IT-SWOOSH

[skeller]

It's almost time!!!<*&

[lowlife88]

Hey shane, are you going to post the graph paper layout here for everyone to see????....... HUH HUH???

[skeller]

Hey shane, are you going to post the graph paper layout here for everyone to see????....... HUH HUH???


I was TOTALLY against posting that because I'm pretty sure the infield will not look quite like that when we're finished.:)

[skeller]

Troy and Chris.....how many guys are coming with you two?

[vnmsgt]

I have only one person coming with me to Troy's.

[skeller]

When will ya'll be at the track?

[vnmsgt]

???? Up to Troy. I think he said he wants to be there about 7:30 or 8am

[skeller]

???? Up to Troy. I think he said he wants to be there about 7:30 or 8am


Thursday mornin'?

[skeller]

I will have us an area reserved.....probably on the driver stand side close to the glass double doors. Yes Troy....the side with the outside awnings.:)

[vnmsgt]

Yes.

[skeller]

Troy....call me Mon. after lunch.

Need to talk about where to put your trailer. :)

[lowlife88]

There will be 4 of us total, Me,Corey,chris, and his buddy chad. As far as the pit spot, at the very end of the arena(Big Bay door) on the out side. Doesn't matter if it's on the right or left. That way we can put a easy up as well just inside of the arena for out stater boxes and such. Plus I figured I would tie the banners to that one so people see them more. Sound like an idea? I'll call ya though monday after lunch.

[lowlife88]

I think were aiming to be there between 6:30 and 7 on thursday morning.

[lowlife88]

1 DAY TO GO!!!!!!

[hakmazter]

GO PODIUM!

[lowlife88]

Good luck and have good fun !!!
Most importantly REPRESENT :)

[vnmsgt]

GO PODIUM!

[bc24fl]

Man, I can't wait to here the results.

[hakmazter]

I can't wait to see some video....I think they will all be bummed that I posted pics of the pro fusion when they were all gone....

[vnmsgt]

Well I just got back from SIC and changed my class from sportsman to PRO when I got there and ended qualifying straight to the B-main PRO Truggy and finished 6th. Not too bad for driving with PRO drivers for the first time. Qualified in C-Main in Pro buggy but had some problems. HAK I finished a 30 minute main with the truggy. NO DNF!!!!

[hakmazter]

Congrats Chris, I am proud of you.....

[vnmsgt]

At least you know I can actually drive now since I was running the pro class and did well.

[bc24fl]

At least you know I can actually drive now since I was running the pro class and did well.


You da man!! Congrats!! How did the others do???

[bc24fl]

Can someone post the results please. I just went to the website and didn't find it.

[skeller]

[bc24fl]

[hakmazter]

That body is far superior to anything that I have ever seen. Just make sure you don't let Trent see it, he might have a flashback and beat up Shane.

[vnmsgt]

It was a little messed up what happened and then I was running a body that looked like that.

[hakmazter]

I was looking at the track pics and it looks really nice. I would have loved to be there racing sportsman in the a main.....(inside joke) and this one pic caught my attention.

I have been staring at it for the last 10 minutes trying to figure it out. It is almost like a puzzle or something and for the life of me, I can't figure it out.

I can't stand not understanding something and I am almost embarrased to ask, but since I am not a hardcore rc racer, will someone please explain this?

Is it an osha deal, fire marshall regulation?

Is it a southern version of a pop up ad?

Is it a protest against Jeff Foxworthy?

Is it proof he is right?

Is it true redneck protection?

Only 3 words come to mind.....

[hakmazter]

http://casterracingusa.com/files/Jokes/SICRACE.JPG

[bc24fl]

LOL glad I wasn't the only one thinking the same. :&!@

Maybe there are sprinklers on the roof that wet the track.. who knows?:)

[skeller]

Dust is the answer.....and lights.



Dust is terrible at indoor events and you hate to have it all over your stuff.

Me personally....I have 4 flourescent lights in the top of my tent to help me see better.

[vnmsgt]

I thought the same too thinking it was indoors but they put them up.

[razzor]

aaaaaha makes sense now :)
For a moment i was thinking the same as Hak.

[Jonathan Bell]

I always put my tent up indoors. For different reasons. If it's in the summer like shane said it keeps the dust and stuff off your stuff and you can hang lights from it. I also have somewhere to hang my banner. In the winter time I have sides that go up all the way around the easyup and I can put a small propane heater in there and it stays pretty cozy, not to mention it doesn't let just anyone walking by 5 finger discount your stuff laying all over the table. I have been to alot of big races that just pit everyone down tables set side by side, stuff litterally laying EVERYWHERE. If it wan't intentional there is just to much going on to watch all your stuff and someone may pick up something of yours by accident. I just like the privacy of the tent. JMO

[hakmazter]

There were lights provided above and no one used a banner. Now, if the easy ups had team logos on them, then I would have been thinking....that is bad ass....

I do understand that they probably make it feel like you have a 10x10 private space.

We obviously need a Caster pop up tent so we look more professional than everyone else....I also want to work on team driver polo style shirts that are embroidered. Might as well look classy and see what that does...

Look at the pics I posted on rctech....you'll see that I do have a banner for me.<*&

[hakmazter]

I saw it. Just think if you put as much effort into your driving as you do your ego.....

By the way, allow electric next year so I don't have to worry about Chris breaking parts, you posing instead of racing, and Trent getting lifeflighted out of there. I'll just come down there and win my own prize. I figure that if Clayton can improve over a year, I can too.

I'm going to bed. it is 1 up here.

[Jonathan Bell]

hak u buy me a custom embroidered pop up and send it I honestly will use it religiously! Oh and even Though I'm against it I may even wear the gay collar shirt if its free! Lmao ;)

[bc24fl]

I saw it. Just think if you put as much effort into your driving as you do your ego.....


Uh oh, I think skeller may have to listen to this until the next SIC.

I didn't even have time for my ego last week....

[hakmazter]

Yeah, but you know what, you helped us represent in a good way. I hope some of the people over there end up being more friendly over the Lewis deal. Tony gets bumped up to pro and life moves on. It would be nice if you drive for us next year at it though.....I need someone to beat Tony on the track....

I'm just glad I wasn't in your shoes for it all......

I'm sure that unless something really serious happens....I'll be around here until you run me off.:)

[Jonathan Bell]

there was an issue up north last winter when I was at a race in Ohio. The grand prize for the sportsman winner was a 50% panther tire deal. No one really knew how it would be policed for the sandbagging. The track was never changed for the race I attended so they knew about what a pro class driver from the c mains lap time would be. They set that lap time as the breakout time for the sportsman buggy. None of the sportsman drivers knew this. After the first qual they went to the drivers that broke out and told them they need to run pro. Funny thing one of them was the track owners son! He didnt like it but it was only fair.

[puba187]

I need someone to beat Tony on the track....

I'm just glad I wasn't in your shoes for it all......


first of all i don't think tony will look nearly as good in the pro class. he should finish mid b-main. and you could never get your foot into those little elf shoes keller wears!:&!@

[bbennett]

Here are some photos I took of Lewis receiving the caster buggy from Tony at outacontrol raceway.

Lewis is very happy and can’t stop talking about it. His mom was overjoyed with tears. They're very appreciative. Chris and I are taking Lewis to a race tomorrow to run the buggy.

Cannot wait to have him run it tomorrow!!

[vnmsgt]

Just so the rest of you guys know, Lewis was chosen to receive a Caster Racing ZX1-R RTR buggy from Tony Pattishaw after winning it at the SIC Race is Alabama and really did not have a use for the buggy so all of us got together to find someone who could use it. I would like to thank Tony for what he did and I spoke to him today and is a really nice guy IMO from what I have seen the last couple days even will all the controversy going on about the race. He did a good thing today.

Tony is defiantly a class-act. He has handled all the criticism with his head up and has tried to please everyone. ?&^

[bc24fl]

Mad props to Tony and everyone else who got this kid that car. I'm sure he'll be in good hands with Chris helping him out. And he will have direct access to Caster parts too. It's win win for everyone.

Southern Invitational Challenge Grand Prize Giveaway.....‏
From: Michael Mazza (mike@casterracingusa.com)
Sent: Sun 10/19/08 8:48 PM
To: Philip Mortstedt (philip@neo-buggy.net)

Caster Racing would like to announce that Lewis Romano from Florida was the Southern Invitational Championship Grand Giveaway Prize winner. Lewis won a brand new Caster Racing ZX-1R RTR with upgraded servos and Fusion Fluids professionally installed by the guys at Caster Racing USA.

The Caster RTR buggy was presented to him by Sportsman A main winner Tony Pattishall, Brian Bennett, and Holeshot Hobbies owner Chris Figueroa acting for Caster Racing. Lewis also was given a gallon of Jack's fuel, glow plugs, and a fuel bottle from Andy Ousley, owner of Outacontrol Raceway so he can hopefully put it out on the track Sunday morning. There was a discussion between several of the drivers who attended the event and Lewis was immediately agreed upon as the rightful prize winner. Lewis currently races 1/10 scale and wants to jump up into 1/8 scale.

Congratulations Lewis for winning the buggy. It is apparent that there is something that the older guys see in you that caused you to earn this buggy. Now for a note from Caster Racing. Most importantly, do good in school and get a good education. Always try your best and do the right thing. Those 2 simple things will take you the farthest in life.
Also know this, Caster Racing will be keeping an eye on you and if you keep practicing and doing the right things, maybe we can help make you the next Jerod Tebo.

Caster Racing would also like to announce that they are going to sponsor the 2009 S.I.C. and provide even better prizes. So everyone down south, remember this giant indoor race coming next October.

Picture is of Tony and Lewis.

Hopefully, Phillip will post it on neobuggy and hopefully you guys can tell Lewis that he is famous.....I can't guarantee anything though....

[bbennett]

Note: his first name is spelled Luis. I made an incorrect assumption about his first name and only verified his last name. Sorry about the mistake.

I also asked him to come visit these forums when he can. He says he doesn’t have internet at home but he can go on when at his uncles.

[hakmazter]

oops... On the phone... people said "lewis" not "luis" and Chris spelled it Lewis. I sent a fix it memo to neo....

[bbennett]

oops... On the phone... people said "lewis" not "luis"

Yes, that was me, sorry about that. I verified the spelling of his first name today.

I'll have some photos of him racing the buggy shortly. He took 4th in the A-main. This was the first time he has ever been able to complete a race.

[vnmsgt]

Yes it was nice to see him finish a race! He was really happy today and even more with the Caster! Great showing today for Caster with both Luis's buggy and my K8T in the A-main's!

Mike, you should have a news section on your own site to display stuff like this too. Does anyone know how old this kid is and if he has a computer?

[bbennett]

Mike, you should have a news section on your own site to display stuff like this too. Does anyone know how old this kid is and if he has a computer?

I'm pretty sure he is 14-15. He doesn’t have a computer at home. I asked him to come visit the site when he can.

[bc24fl]

I'm pretty sure he is 14-15. He doesn’t have a computer at home. I asked him to come visit the site when he can.

Ok, I sometimes get computers that people no longer want so if I can get one and the kid is interested I can send him one.

That was one of my first practice runs Thursday mornin'....I think.

[hakmazter]

Looked like a nice wide track!
