What an absolutely brilliant idea and how absolutely unfortunate that I won’t be able to attend. :( Have fun everyone. Take plenty of pics and maybe I can hit the “2nd annual” event! :) I think MrRCH and Steve will have a little advantage since I’ve seen their RC cars at plenty of events! :)

Dustin Oct 30th, 2007 Link

Hey Tom, you will be missed. However MrRCH and Steve, will NOT have the advantage, since we will all be driving NEW R/C cars just build. This is a DRIVERS event. All cars in the 3 classes are equal.

Friends of CMMC, please read the very last line of the posting, before signing up.

I’m going to hold off picking my car till I see where we need to fill in any racing field gaps.

Adam Oct 30th, 2007 Link

Awwww…. so i can’t bring my nitro fueled R/C car that hits 60mph?? well i guess that would give me somewhat of an advantage…lol

Blake Oct 30th, 2007 Link

Can I pull a “mythbusters” and turn my MINI into an RC? I think I would win as I could crush the other cars in the field!

Adam Oct 30th, 2007 Link

Oh i guess i have to pick a class…hmmm considering my driving style i will have to go with the Inferno.

Dustin Oct 30th, 2007 Link

Adam, please bring the nitro if it’s dry out for some parking lot fun near by after the GP. :)

Blake, your MCS is too big for the track. LOL

This is a great Father Son Event, who wants to be my Father? :)

Tom (MiniShagz) Oct 31st, 2007 Link

I’m your father, Dustin :) Have fun all!

Awww…my “Darth Vader” HTML Mark-up didn’t work…Alas a joke gone awry….DOH!

Marco Nov 1st, 2007 Link

Im there. Will probably go with the falcon.

john & tommy Nov 2nd, 2007 Link

A father son event … how novel :)

we’ll see if it works into the schedule.

Blake Nov 2nd, 2007 Link

I will have to see if my dad wants to come along with me, My guess is no.

Jeff Nov 4th, 2007 Link

I have a classic dunebug style racer. If I can get I can get it running, I’ll bring it for the parking lot shootout.

Inside, put me down for either the falcon or phantom.

Cheers,
Jeff

Is there an age limit and attendance limit? I’m checking to see if my 4 year old nephew and 8 year old nephews are interested/available.

Adam Nov 5th, 2007 Link

Hmmm considering my lack of funds at the moment, i think i am gonna switch over to the falcon.

Dustin Nov 5th, 2007 Link

There is really no limit for attendance. Age, the 8 yr old would do fine, 4 yr old might have a harder time of it, but if Uncle GSK wants to bring them you are all more than welcome.

Anthony Nov 11th, 2007 Link

OK, put me down for a Phantom.

Jeff Nov 14th, 2007 Link

Put Rhiannon down for 1 Falcon

john & tommy Nov 14th, 2007 Link

OK, the schedule is working out. Put us down for at least one car, or two if you need it for the 20 person minimum. I don’t want to get creamed by the kid in RC cars. Losing at every Wii game in the house is bad enough.

Adam Nov 15th, 2007 Link

Something has come up and i will not be able to make it. have a good time guys, and i’ll bring my nitro car some other time.

GSKChicago Nov 17th, 2007 Link

I’m bummed, but the weekend is jammed and I won’t be able to participate. Have a great time all!!

Dustin Nov 18th, 2007 Link

Post event update, Tommy, John, Blake, Anthony and I had a great time. Yes “The Kid” Tommy beat all of us by a mile, even after 3 of us got faster cars then Tommy!

Tommy, YOU DA MAN!

john & tommy Nov 18th, 2007 Link

Great father & son event. Couldn’t get the yellow car out of Mom’s hands when we got home. Thanks for organizing.

Blake Nov 19th, 2007 Link

Good time, I have already caught the MOD bug. My RC GP has been lowered and a BBK installed!

Thanks Dustin.

Good to see you Anthony, Jim, Tommy and Dustin.
