good to see you're getting a few bashing buds together mate :cool2: Post some vids of your outings :cool2:
 
ask and yee shall recieve. well to a point. lol
heres a bit of vid.

Went to Jeffs yesterday, and got some running in. had a few quirks but got them worked out. also got a few pics (need to panarama them into one track pic, and a bit of vid. the vid of the running wasnt the greatest, as their were only the 2 of us, so the cam was stationary really.

heres the first part, i took a pamarama vid shot and a walk thru of the track. thats what this vid is. i have to put the rest on the puter yet and get it edited. may end up with a few minutes of vid out of it. also their is no sound on this one, i have to make some adjustments to get the sound working yet.

ok, heres the first action vid. Angle is boring, as is the action. just had to set the vid cam in one place and run. is boring, but give you an idea of his setup.

Looks like fun, too bad you guys are 2 1/2 hours away!

i signed up for michigan baja but the site is kind of difficult to navigate with everything being black. Plus the site has forgotten me twice.
 
its usuallly a cookies setting on the forgetting piece. i see you as a member always, whether your logged in or not.

once you spend a bit of time, the black becomes pretty easy to get around, trickiest part is log in. I ll talk to Tim about whiting out the log in areas so its easier to see the boxes.

2.5 hrs isnt nothing. it takes me 3 to get to sl. 3 to get to Turtle Daves. so 2.5 is a breeze. lol
 
Driving 2.5 hours to get my ass blown away by a bunch of Baja's is a Lot of driving! :lol:

Now, parking lot racing... Count me in!

I would really like an asphalt dragstrip!
 
We are going to start drag racing this year actually. all different types of rc's and classes. I am building a brushless motorcycle just for drag racing... still need to figure out a wheely wheel frame though. The bike will almost backflip as it sits and wheelies at any speed. A local gu makes lap counting systems and has a sweet drag racing tree. trakmate is the company. we are using a 3 zone, pre stage, start and finish, but can add sensors later too for different spots down the strip if wanted
 
Believe me, I could earn a good living if I moved away from the rain province. I won't go into detail but have been trying to get a waiver to cross the border. still going to cost me $1200 first year to be able to come across (over a $25 fine 15 yrs ago), then $1200 is good for 3 yrs, then 5... if I pay that kind of money out I want to be able to work too LOL
 
I do. was arrested outside a hockey rink on a friday night. wearing my ancient goalie body armor. Just came from UBC (University of BC), and was about to play my 3rd game of the night. My body was green all over from bruises. We were prepping the after game festivities, undercover cops came over. Hauled me away and finger printed me.. I got razzed as the convict goalie for many years after that LOL. I have a super clean security record, had my PI license, alarm installer etc etc etc, hell done security for VANOC, political MP's... I am fine with the Attorney General in Canada, but the USA... grrr. I can travel to Europe, UK, anywhere but the USA. In court I pled guilty and took my $25 fine. Because I had been stopped at the border random, even before I was convicted, I need a waiver to cross the border. It's really silly and a big cash grab for Homeland Security (Pardon is good for life, waiver is only given for 1-5 yrs)

I was invited down to stay at Dino's (Jet Pro) to bring my rc's down and hang out for a weekend. He was going to make my stacks for semi, some on road pipes and a pipe for my bike so we had more bike options.. I started looking into getting across... what a hassle man

Timmah, sorry for cluttering the thread. I just figured it was an educational thing for people that haven't looked into it. and don't try to cross without getting the waiver. if you get stopped, they can seize your car and all the contents
