Here are a few pics I took today. I was running so much I didn't take too many shots, but I got a few of the buggies tearing up the track. They were awesome today!!

Here is a shot of the driver's stand and pit area. You can see Chris and ImBroken in the pit area. Poor fellas were there most of the day. :(

And finally, the group shot of all of the vehicles that ran today.

Looks nice. Glad the weather held up for you. Bring more pictures. :D
 
Nice it was cool to meet all of you. Thanks to the people who got this going!!! The track was fun and the jumps well they did the job ;-) Hope to bash again soon with you guys. Sorry I couldn't stay for the day but it was a blast.

Glad u guys are having fun. Wish I could've made it this year. Keep the pics coming.
 
Nicey nice. I'm jealous. Keep the pic's coming.
 
FastEddie took the most pics. He will be posting them soon. We also took some video of us jumping the ramp that the track owners have built. We'll have to wait for ImBroken to encode it.

My damage for the day was a busted receiver in my Storm and blown diffs in my Savage. It was great fun!!!

meathead - it was nice meeting you. I have to say that you command that buggy very well. You were probably the best driver of the bunch. :D

Ratzo, have you been whatching old episodes of Inspector Gadget? Isn't that what the villan always said? "Next time" LOL!!!!!!


Looks like fun. Wish I could have mad it. You guys been to the "old BMX track yet" I want some pics of that, or is this not the same thing?
 
I heard that they were going to avoid the BMX track. They didn't want to conflict with the BMX riders.
 
That's too bad. That place looked like a good spot to bash. It also looked a little dangerous. Maybe its better that way, unless you own the LHS.
 
What truck is the 3rd one in from the right? It look huge compared to the others or it might just be the angle. :shrug:

Hey guys I will have to practice more know that I know you will all be going for me! :) Thanks for the kind words you guys all held your own!
 
Darth, nice pics. I'm hoping that you'll get a chance to post the video soon. I'm sure these guys will be drooling over all the footage from the quarter pipe!!! I just got home and transferred my pics to my pc. I have to take some time to resize them and I'll add them to this thread.
It was a great time. Darth was a bit modest. Truth is that he was on the track almost all day. Out of the whole group, his rides were the most dependable. Not too many sessions without him. All in all it was a good time. The track was nice. From what I understand it was only a few weeks old. The guys who own it really went out of their way to make it nice for us. That was incredibly appreciated. Christian and Imbroken were struggling a bit. But they had a good time anyway. 1meathead really was tearing it up with his buggy. And mcvickj, scotthg1, and Fast Eddy put down a lot of track time. Ed even let me run his buggy. Famous last words, Ed. "Don't worry. You can't break it." I even understand that Ratzo took time out of his busy day to call up there and ride Imbroken's ass a bit. It was just a really good time. This morning, me, Christian, Fast Eddy, mcvickj and scotthg1 tore up the parking lot at Christian's office building with our TC's. All was going well. Until I stripped BOTH spur gears on my 2-speed Nitro RS4. So that's toasted gears on my TC and my Maxx. Well worth it.
I hope Christian and Fast Eddy get their pics up soon. Ed took a ton so there will be a lot to see. Right now they're enjoying a Rush concert so it may be a day or so before we see them.
I personally want to thank Darth Racer for the rear tie rod to get my Maxx back up and running. I appreciate the help. And to scotthg1 for the wheel nut because I'm such a moron I lost my other one. If it wasn't for you guys, I would have been out of commission after only 2 hours. Thanks guys...

Oh, Domination, that third truck from the right is an Ofna Monster Pirate. It was brand new and the first time they shook it down. The guy and his son who were running it had a ball....

No problem. I'm happy I took all of my parts with me so I was able to help. You would have done the same for us I'm sure. I'm gald you had fun. I know I did!
 
What a motley crew! Looks like all had fun.

I noticed that Chris is still driving that damn mini-van and has a field box that resembles my own. SO I guess they cancel each other out on the cool scale. =devil
 
I wanted to make sure I thanked the guys at ARRP (Aurora Rails Raceway Park) for being awesome hosts!! I'm going to try and make it down there for some reaces this year.

If you click on the pictures link they have some ECB pics up already. :) They have two of me jumping my Savage. :D
