I'm going drag racing this weekend. It's a Wally race. We're closed. Peace out.

Then run the oval races throughout the summer and offroad in the winter. You only need to build an oval once. Minimal maintanance. Do what you need to do to survive. But....Don't show an attitude when you know that the KANSAS RC PRO SERIES is here this weekend and you know that thats where all the racers "will" be this weekend. Including myself. This is the single biggest R/C event Topeka has ever had. This is what happens in the summer time when everyone wants to play outside and no one wants to be inside. Make the oval guys happy and run an oval for the rest of the season. But...oval will not be the bread and butter come winter time.

Now stop Lee.....I know what your thinking when I said "Showing an attitude". But isn't the above quote, "Or we can just close all together, for good?" not an attitude?

I think its time for Jake to actually get on here, for once, and say what he wants, needs, expects, etc... or plans on doing with the facility. Too many problems are occuring without Jake around much. And, since theres no racing going on there the past several weekends, none of us have even seen Jake at all. This is where Jake can confront everyone at once. We all can agree?

It doesn't bother me if we don't have a turn out. We expect that. I am getting oval racers hitting me up so I am oblidging them. They want to help and they want to come race? I'm all for it. I don't need a turn out to pay my bills. I do it all for you guys. And I try my very best. I hear ya, "out-of-towner". I would hate for you to show up and have no one to race off-road against. Hang tight. We haven't had enough to make a small heat and hold a race for three weeks.

I know I have an abrasive personality on here. I think I'll stop posting, reading and paying attention to any of it. I'll check your messages if you leave them, otherwise, it's in the tracks best interest if I just shut up. That's what you want and it really sounds good to me. Consider me signed out. King Crybaby, out.

Lee,
I tell a lot of people about your track. Don't give up, man. Things go in cycles, ya just gotta learn to enjoy the good, and grit your teeth through the bad. The bad times always seem to last longer cause we're not doin' 20 things at once. Just saying " keep your chin up, man, it's always darkest before somebody turns the lights on! LOL!!!!!

The winter time is the right time... F-the Sun...

I plan on racing some indoor off road this winter for sure. I have a new raced one time at Jakes, XXX-TCR plus a Tamiya Durga 4wd Buggy and yes it kicks ass, I hope I purchased both of these vehicles for your track Lee. I'd really hate to sell them. The idea of not racing through the winter time is just not cool...
We're commin dude....

I would like to try some dirt oval, never done that before.

Is that mainly a 2wd thing??

If it's going to rain everything else out today, I will open the track. I'm not sure if the drags are canceled yet but I bet they will be. If so, I'm going to go play at the track tonight and at least get my gear together for Sunday.
