Just a little venting.....

My friends and I chipped in for a road rails track that we lay out every Sunday.
There are a bunch of people who have decided to run on our track without permission, But thats another story.
So, I get my stuff out of my truck and start up my V-one RR.
I make sure it's in tune, and put it down.
As I jump onto the back of my truck for a better view of the track,
WHAM!! Some uninvited bucktooth butthead just blasted into my car.
I get down, and it's mangled.
So I was on the track for 30 seconds and got wrecked before I even drove it.
Yes, It was one of the bucktooths.
So before I get pissed, I figure i'll pull out my new car (V-one RRR), and drive it till I calm down.
Two laps, and i'm passing my friends car on the strait, and God only knows why he would smash into me as I pass. I go into a 60 mph slide, and under a car hitting the back of the front tire.
We had to move the 1:1 car forward to get my RC out from under the tire.
DESTROYED.
I spent the next 2 hours fixing the RRR.
I get it back on the starter box and my box is dead because everyone used it while I was wrenching.
I hooked up the leads to my battery and was good to go.
1 FRIGGIN LAP and POW! this ass nails me in the side breaking my rear carrier.
It was only broken where the screw goes in, so I CA'd it just so I could have revenge.
I found the bucktooth that hit me going down the strait away and blasted his
car so hard in the back that it flew across the lot and broke bad enough that he was done for the day. That was my goal.
This was all done on NO sleep. I've been awake since Saturday morning.
Thats why I got so pissed. Just tired I guess.
 
Damn if it wasn't for bad luck you'd have none at all. I'm not the vengeful type but I did get a little smile after reading you had payback for the bucktooth.

Now get some sleep!
 
DAMN I thought I had bad luck.....Sounds like there needs to be some enforcement on who can run on your track......I finally made it past 2nd heat last nite and stopped going for gold in the main to just hack some assclown the whole race...I still placed 3rd.....there are a lot of idiots in this hobby huh?
 
and the hacking was justified as this clown almost hit my ankle during practice...and then almost capped my kid when the track was supposed to be cleared....

Well here's the deal. One of our friends owns the LHS and as a selling point
He tells them where the lot is.
There are several open lots with NO people in them. (commuter lots). Thats where they are expected to go. Not with us.
They just toss there poop on the track and gun it.
Half these people never drove an RC before, and are trying to run with A main drivers.
Becomes a hack fest.
So today, we started collecting money from the uninvited regulars, to chip in for the track.
We paid, so should they.
The extra $$ will go to more track to make it bigger.
 
they should have to qualify to run on the track...lol....just to run it they need to beat a minimum time requirement so the field isn't full of road blocks .....
 
this isn't our lot, just wanted to give you an example.

Why not get PVC pipe and drain field tube? how much is this stuff...definately looks proffesional....
 
the road rails set up in less then 15 minutes.
a big plus.
 
My friend bought them.
There normally near the back in the popular magazines.
 
Hey Ratzo, on a nonrace day, the malachi brothers would sure like to run with you guys. Do you usually stay there all day or is it a morning thing only? Don't worry, we won't hit your cars. Just let us know who you want us to hit ... LOL
 
revenge is sweet BRO..
I would have jumped off my truck right on top of his car!
He got off lucky
 
I think someone needs to show up with an all aluminum Monster and start running over the idiots.
