Seattle, track day this weekend...

[kwong2001]

I made this thread so we don't have to send messages throught PM's.

Anyhoo, I'm thinking we should go down to the Normandy Park track this weekend on Sunday. I'm free all weekend. Would that work for everybody? I know this is a bit short notice but what can I say? I'm a procrastinator.

Penny for your thoughts.

I could be in, depending on time and day and if I can get my O.S. broken in.

 

[kwong2001]

From my experience. It could take you about a day to break the engine in and then just a little bit to tune and then you're good to go.

I'd imagine the racing would start anywhere from 8am to 11am in the morning. But i'm pretty sure there probably won't be a lot of people since it's a farely new track that more of a private track. It'll probably just be us and the owner and maybe a few friends.

i'm going to try to break the engine in tomorrow. Are you thinking sat or sun? I need to negotiate this with wifey. We are doing some major yard projects that have a deadline, so I will need to find the right approach.

 

[kwong2001]

Well i'm flexible I could goto either day but I was leaning towards Sunday since that's when I suppose most race days go on.

One thing to remember is that it will probably last for a good long time like maybe until 3pm possibly 5pm depending on the turnout.

Also, I do have a canopy that I can set up so we don't burn up in the sun. So shade isn't a problem....

wheres Normandy Park?

 

[nitro dave]

Just south of Burien, West of Sea-Tac, not too far from the airport.

Let's pick a time to agree on and we can all fire off emails to Isaac. I like Sunday.

NitroDave, what channel(s) are you? I'm 27.045 mhz channel 2. I know Kwong's is different from mine.

My kids have seen me bash around but they might really enjoy watching a nitro race from the pits.

 

[kwong2001]

I'm on AM ch. 6...I think

We just need to decide on a day because the owner of the track will dictate the time....and we need to decide soon so the guy knows we'll be coming....

 

[nitro dave]

this weekend is looking bad. I am up to my eyeballs in a yard project that I don't know if I will be able to get away from. I am still hoping to though. I run FM 75hz all channels.

 

[kwong2001]

Well, I hope you can make it and I hope we do go this weekend. It'd be awesome to get as many ppl from RCNT to come as possible.

Right now i've got an air leak on the side of my fuel tank that i'm gonna try to seal tonight.

wdavidhicks, mike c...we locked for Sunday? Need to make sure the guy knows who's coming.

Hey nitro dave, just tell the wife you bought a new engine and that you really need to put it to good use. She'll understand, just tell her, if she bought a new pair of shoes (since women buy hella shoes...lol) wouldn't she want to wear it right away and show it off? It'll work, you better be there, or i'll hunt you down, kidnap you, and drag you there...j/k

Hey guys I am back, I live downtown Seattle.What is the address of the track? It would be great if I can get a ride with someone, but if not I 'll try the bus.:buggy1: or this hehe.

 

[nitro dave]

So what was the scoop. How was the track? I spent the weekend literally pinding dirt getting ready to put in a stone patio and hot tub. It sucked much. The only thing close to RC I got this weekend was going into Hobbytown at Southcenter for 5 minutes on the way to buy some crushed gravel. I am going to get the OS broken in this week, come hell or high water. Is there another day scheduled in the near future? I need to get out and run baby run.

 

[kwong2001]

Well, nobody posted saying they were for sure gonna go so I didn't call the guy. Dunno about everyone else, but I didn't go. Besides, i'm still having problems with my savage that I need to resolve.

 

[Freedom]

Hey guys,

How long has it been since we got any rain?

 

[nitro dave]

a long time, and there is none in the immediate forecast.
