Official RCNT Bash -- Hampton Roads Style Round 2 (NEW THREAD)

[HumboldtBlazer]

It's really not that far you pussies!!!!!! LMAO!

 

[RatzoRC]

A! I think you mean female pee pee!
I'm all for it. LETS GO IMBROKEN!!

Total Est. Time: 6 hours, 25 minutes Total Est. Distance: 397.51 miles
From Staten Island.

400 miles @100 mph, I'll be there in time for cornflakes!

 

[SkyMaxx]

The time MapQuest generates does not account for any delays at major cities along the route. On my trips north, I have to pass through Richmond (no major trauma), DC (major slow down there, usually adds 45mins to an hour and a half depending on time of day), Baltimore (same as DC), and then depending on direction Philadephia (which can be as time consuming as both Baltimore and DC).

So, distance-wise it is not a long drive (according to MapQuest), but reality is that it can be a very long drive depending on traffic and time of day. If you do the drive in the middle of the night, you might actually come close to the numbers MapQuest put down. Depending on your route you might bypass some or all the major cities I listed, but I can not begin to imagine what escaping NYC adds to the time of the trip.

So, 9-11 hours one way is not unrealistic.

Guys, please do try and make it...but do not do so at the expense of a safe trip.

 

[RatzoRC]

We will probably leave on Friday afternoon. Stay at a motel Friday night in the Hampton area.
Be at the bash by 8 ish, and leave sometime in the early afternoon time frame. Like 2 or 3:00

 

[SkyMaxx]

Sounds good. I put you both on the maybe list until you say there is a 100% chance of your participation. Let me know as things change.

 

[El Pirata]

I saw the homemade ramps used in ECBII and I may have to make a set for HRBII. However they are made I will have to make sure they will fit into the back of my truck to I can take them to the bash. Hmmmm, :idea: Act 3 is coming together nicely. Thanks to whoever made the jumps for the ECBII and Fast Eddy for taking pics.

 

[RatzoRC]

5 weeks is a long time in my world, and anything can happen. But as of today, I spoke to Imbroken, and we are going! 100%
Unless something happens within in those five weeks, but I doubt it.
I think were good.
I'll be on: Fm, 75Mhz Channel 65 for both my buggy, and MGT.

Don't forget. We will only be there for the Saturday bash.
If we drive down there and it rains as soon as we get there, Be prepared to see some sort of destruction.
It won't be pretty.

 

[El Pirata]

Don't worry about rain. Even if it rains we still bash. I have been known to drive through puddles of unknown depth only to find out they are deeper than my rc is high when my rc disappears.

Besides one of the Communistwealth's most popular sayings, "Don't like the weather? Wait 5 minutes."

 

[SkyMaxx]

Rain (unless it is of biblical proportions) usually does not hamper us too much. Just makes things more messy during the bash. Reference my gallery for some shots of a muddy RC.

We'll be putting together ride and channel lists in the next couple of weeks. Unless we have another hurricane bearing down on us, we will be holding the bash on the advertised weekend. If that kind of weather looks imminent, we'll make certain to give you guys plenty of heads up (at least as much as the weather guessers give us.)

 

[Russ Winn]

I'll give it my best to be there...if initiation doesn't kill me first. Might be kind of tight on that weekend, but I can't think of a better way to celebrate. Let me know if you need freqs, vehicle types, or anything else...I'd like to see it turn out even better than round 1.

 

[RatzoRC]

I'd like to see it turn out even better than round 1.

It will, I'll be there.

 

[Lessen]

well, I got word that my custom chassis is ready to be cut. he wrote the program and got the allum stock in, so it shouldn't be too much longer on that. I'm still waiting on my 1/8 diff conversion cases. All I need to finish this build are a couple diffs and center CVDs. It'll be close but I'm still hopin to make it

 

[ImBroken]

I smell a Mugen MBX5 ProSpec in my near future.... If I can just scrape up enough beans for a nice mill, I'll be golden....

 

[RatzoRC]

Looks like it's time for the "Imbroken fund raiser". I'll get my cup of pencils, and dark shades.

 

[El Pirata]

With what I'm planning, it will but just in case bring a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit....

Maybe he can make a sign saying he needs bucks for an rc engine and stand on the street corner.

 

[SkyMaxx]

EP, I'm almost afraid to ask what you are planning...

Russ, glad to hear that you are optimistic. Stay as clean as you can through the intiation and maybe they will let you out on good behavior.

 

[RatzoRC]

intiation! intiation! intiation! intiation!
Sky, do you have rubber gloves, a stick, and a banana?
If not, i'll bring my own.

See you their Russ!

 

[SkyMaxx]

Ratzo, you are familiar? Poor Russ...

 

[RatzoRC]

Thank you sir, may I have another!! Muuhhaaaahaaaahaaa!

 

[SkyMaxx]

Great. Now, I AM afraid...
