Tayneytown, MD RC

I believe @DavidB1126 sent me their race schedule for May. Every Sunday in May I wanted to go, but some stoopid adulting thing (and kid's events) got in the way.

My plan is to hit it up tomorrow morning. I dont have any small cars to race (they parking lot race Groms and 1/12s), but planning on trying the Losi Nascar ones and I have a feeling I'm gonna own one very, very, soon.

I'll bring my Promoto, Stretched Terps Typhon, my Green Mustang Infraction and my Truggy Typhon. Hopefully I'll make some new RC friends!!!

Nice!
I'm busy
Dang it

Busy sleeping in...
Maybe if they have any ones in June I might be able to go
Oh wait tomorrow is June!

If they were there later and start later id totally do it but getting up at like 6:30 in the morning and with a hr or so drive, don't work for me. Especially with my parents schedule

I hear ya. I'm up anywhere from 5am to 7am (depending on the day), so I'm used to it. The older you get....lol Plus my daily naps always help!!

I'm about 40 mins from there, so not too bad. All mountain and small town roads to get there, so it'll be a nice drive.

I'll let y'all know how it goes.

I finally got a chance to go this past Sunday, and it was a blast! Met some cool guys. It was mainly an oval track. They had another one set up for kids to play on. One thing I learned is most of the guys there do not like large RCs. No interest at all. I still ran mine and had a blast! The entrance road is long enough to do some mini-speed runs.

They run mainly 1/10s, GROMs, and the like. A lot of these guys have raced for years, but the atmosphere was all about just having fun. They would run all types ("open racing") around and around then move onto the NASCAR race then back and to "open racing". For the NASCAR race, only Losi NASCARs and they must be stock. There's no lap counting or anything. One "race" there were over a dozen of them racing. Basically, keep racing until you run out of juice and try not to wreck. The guy that runs it has a bunch of the NASCARS and over 30 batteries for kids and others to use. I got to race one a few times, and while they are super slow stock, once only NASCARS were on the track, you don't really notice the slowness and it's a blast!!!

Sooooooo...guess what I did?

Arrives Friday! Can't wait!

 

[Smilinbri]

Arrived today!!

Can't wait to paint the new body as I don't really follow NASCAR and want to make it my own. Gonna try the splatter effect.

You gonna drive it in the mud?

 

[Smilinbri]

Nope. You'll see. Almost done.

I got the Camry body cuz I drive a Camry. Wanted to try something different so I expiremented with splatter marks using a paintbrush. Went ok. I wasn't sure how much to do after finishing my, I wish I would have done more and in different directions. I'm gonna get another body, use a lot of multiple colors and paint it white.

Def should have went slower and also not painted on such a humid day. Paint ran in some areas. O well. That's what stickers are for.

I'm happy how it turned out for my 1st time trying this method. Can't wait to run it!! It'll def be the only NASCAR on the track looking like that!

Took my new NASCAR racin' Sunday. Rained a little, so small crowd, but still had a blast!! Got some cool tips on wrenching and driving em. I also brought my ramp, Noto6s (Biggie) & Bashin' Typhon. So much fun! The little kids loved watching Biggie! Lost a servo nut on the Typhon and busted Biggie's body posts. But still had an awesome time!

Even made their Facebook page!

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

So I missed the last 2 weekends at this event due to vaca, but was able to join this past Sunday. Had a blast! We broke our record with 17 NASCARS racing. It was awesome!! 1st 30 secs was a demo derby! :ROFLMAO:

As mentioned, I'm not really into NASCAR and made that yellow body. I then got the Lumina body and to go along with the "theme", I made it "NASCARish". lol

Gave tribute to John Riggins, #44, the Skins' '80s RB/SB winner!! For my sponsor stickers I did all local (local to my area/mid-atlantic). Places you don't see all across the US. I wish I would have made them a little smaller, but O well.

 

[DavidB1126]

I should really try to get up there one day lol but its like an hr 1/2 drive and its early in the morning too right? That don't mix with me lol. Id like to sleep in But it sure does look fun

Where ya get those shock/spring protectors on the Typhon? they look sick

 

[Smilinbri]

Yea, they are set up by 8am and run till about noin-1pm. You are pretty far, I'm only 40mins away. It's been hot as balls too. Can't wait to go when the weather is cooler.

From Mack's Custom Designs. I think it was ebay maybe? IDR

 

[Smilinbri]

Little chilly yesterday and rained early in the morning, but still had a blast. Only 4 people showed up. lol
