RCNT Winter Bash '04

[Nitroaddict]

the track is a large 8th scale buggy track. The jumps are as high as 5 feet tall, and the track is packed so hard, its like concrete. i worry that a stadium truck will break trying to get around the track. however, just "playing" on the track should be okay.

Yeah I can't wait. I wanna get the heck outta here. Mothernature is starting to really dump on us. Lets hope the grounds crew for the airport is a lil more organized than the Kent County Road Commission. I had to do some running around today and the roads are crap. My travel time was easily doubled becasue of the roads...

Have fun at your bash guys. It's a shame that it wasn't possible for me to come out this time around. Some track time right about now would be awsome. The winter is sucky dry spell... another 4ish months I keep saying to myself.

Have Fun

Well - MCVickj came into the airport today - minus an engine, fuel lines, fuel tank for the storm, and several other things the airport took away from him. idiots. anyways - its been about 68 here all day, I'm sure he was happy since it was 12 when he left. we went to the hobby shop - picked up his items, no storm fuel tank, but the had an ofna 9.5 one that fit after some hand made modifications. everything is well, Imbroken and Kevin get here tomorrow. We will be going to the track for the first time tomorrow early afternoon. pics to come soon!

Howdy from Sunny Orlando!!! I was hoping to get the Storm broken in today but as NA mentioned I ran into some problems. I mentioned to the guy that was screening the bags that I have some RC stuff in this bag will it be a problem. He told me that it wouldn't and I went to the concourse to grab a bit to eat and unwind from the stressful drive to the airport. (We had over 6 inches of snow in a 12 hour period. The roads were total crap.)

Then I hear my name announced over the PA system to come to the security check in. The same guy told me that once fuel was introduced to the system that I could not bring it aboard the plane becasue of the fumes. So after talking to him for about 15 minutes I ask him if I can just leave the fuel system and take the RC's with me. He agreed to that. Then I mentioed that my buggy engine hasn't even seen fuel yet and can I bring it aboard.

He made me remove the engine from the chassis and then remove the header. He then put his nose to the exhaust port and the carb to "smell" for fuel. Finally he agreed to let me pack it. I had to leave behind my fuel bottle, my Hyper 8 port for the Savage, the Savage tank and the Storm tank. He was being such as ass that he made me take the fuel lines off too!!! TSA has no problems with anything else.

So next time I will just mail the fuel system and engine before I leave. There is also a story behind the trip and my connection but that will be for another time.

I brought my digicam so we should have some pics up in a day or two.
