K & M UPDATE

[Bigmax]

As most know, Last Saturday was Nancy and Melvin's last day to run the track. There was concern and offers on the table to whether the track would be open to race this Saturday. I have gotten approval that Randy's Hobbies will be run the operation until a more solid offer is accepted. This will be a week to week status.

Doors open on Saturday at regular time and Races wil start at 6:00 sharp. New officials and new Faces!

Join me in PULLING THE LEEEEVER at K & M this Saturday. ONE LAST TIME or Maybe NOT!!!

[Gary]

Yall offroaders and oval guys need to step up and keep the legend alive! A charity race in the future would be fun. :D

[Ronnie Norris]

[KevinLRC]

I hope the place can pick back up and get going. Would sure be nice to race mod buggy against a few people on a halfway regular basis anyway.

[PD2]

Yeah, I'm picking up Todd M.'s BK2 and have already grabbed a mod motor and ESC. I'm not sure when I'll be able to pay him for it right now, but he's holding it. I really wish I had it for this weekend. But as soon as I get it I'm coming out there guys!

PD2:cool:

Does anyone know what the current business hours are for K&M? Did they remain the same as before or have they changed?

Thanks in advance for the info

[ddcarter3]

I think they are open only on the weekends now. Open at 11am on Saturday. Racing starts at 6pm.

[Guffinator]

How's it going everybody? I see some familiar names here. You guys are still racing RC huh? I'm still playing with big cars. Feel free to email me guffinator@gmail.com

[Gary]

What up bro? Long time no see. I like the new Stang. Got NoX? :D

I race once in awhile after that 4 year semi retirement. Got into a few other hobbies and really not serious about any of em. Just play when I feel like it!

[Brew]

Hey I recognize that Redfish!

You gonna be up here on the northside this weekend G?

I might swing by Mikes and/or K&M just to see whats going on. If any of y'all see a dumpy guy with a gray beard and a black ballcap that says Chef Jeff on it say hey, that'll be me.

Later,

Jeff

[Gary]

Jeff. Thats right! Yall were there that weekend. Jr. caught that nice Shark and that was my first Bull.

Naw, I wont be out north this weekend. Im sitting my fat self in the AC. :D

[Bigmax]

Deal has been agreed on! No Details and no racing today. The doors will be back open next Saturday the 3rd under new ownership. Plans and details will come later this week. Have a good weekend and get ready to PULL THE LEEEVER next Saturday!!!!

:birthday2 Party on DUDES!!!

[Gary]

Im guessing something most excellent?

:doowapsta

[PD2]

They say I'm clairvoyent (sp?).......

Randy of Randy's Hobby's is buying K&M Raceway and will now have a track and North Side hobby shop.

Right??!?!?

PD2:cool:

[cjtamu]

Jeff,
A few of us will be at Mike's tomorrow, probably sometime after 11:00. We''l look for ya. I'll be the big guy with the goatee and no ball cap, LOL.

Biggie, that's great news (whatever it is). Kev and I are racing onroad next Sat AM at Mike's then blazing over to K&M for some offroad. Bring your mod buggy, your gas truck, and your wallet. Loser buys the frosty barley pops after, booyah!

I think having the Gecko do the robot would be da bomb.......:birthday2

[RH Customs]

I just want 2 track bash not really "race" so if this goes through then I would be really happy. Then again I might not mind racing 1/10 electric stadium truckas long as the races are for fun and not ego driven like it was when I raced on road.

Cheers
RH

[Bigmax]

When I race it's always for the fun of it. :D Now Chris, I don't condone drinking and driving, BUT, bring your 1/10th gas truck and be ready to PULL THE LEEEEVER!!!!!

[Ronnie Norris]

congrats to randy and his crew. A few of us will be there this weekend. Just gotta recover from the long weekend @ the pro series.

ronnie

[RH Customs]

I'm gald to hear form you guys and Randy himself ( talked to earlier today) that he will be taking over K & M. Hope to come out at K&M this weekend.

RH

[Bigmax]

Saturday will be for some stress relief and fun!

Ronnie, How did the Houston boys do?? DETAILS!!!

[David Early]

Guffinator - How's it going Guff! It's been a long time since we have heard from you and hope the car is working as good as your toy cars used to.

Ronnie - Good job at the Pro series. That is a kind of a play of words calling it a PRO series. I tried to tell you what a hack fest it is, but sounds like you managed to make it through it all. Will see you Saturday at K&M.

[KevinLRC]

Yeah, you can thank the greatest r/c invention of all time on the hacking at the pro series, the magical starting gate. It's like the starting gate made people think they can just run each other over like the whole race is a drag race to the first corner. Gas offroad isn't the only type of racing that has a lot of hacking, it seems like the gas onroad guys can't make a pass without hammering the guy they are going around. Yesterday was the most unclean racing I have ever seen in my life at a big race.

[Bigmax]

Times have gone backwards it sounds like to me. I do have to say though that being that Mikes is relatively young in raunning races. They should be able to clean it up as time goes by. Can't say that about the Pro Series though. I do think that if one person recognizes the issue then step up and make it public. Racing is fun, hacking is just aggressive driving. One can drive aggressive and still run smooth. PRACTICE!!!

SEE YALL SATURDAY!!!!

[RH Customs]

I hear ya ( Kevin ) when I raced on-road people were "tuning" there cars and getting an illegal advantage.

Who?

[cjtamu]

You gotta love it though. 45 minute mains and people barrelling outta the start gate. The funniest thing all weekend was the guy that cut in front of Tommy in the A just as they were going into the sweeper. Tommy's car went right up his back and over and he completed the pass. I think it's the first on-road pass I've ever seen performed on a jump, LOL. Eric, are you running on-road Saturday?

[zxeric]

Yeah I'll be there ! I'm looking foward to the new guys!

[cjtamu]

I'm looking forward to hacking, er I mean racing, with y'all on Saturday. Bring your off-road stuff too, I'm planning to hit K&M after we're done at Mike's.

[zxeric]

Im going to try to hit K&M afterwards too. I'll have the buggy and truck with me!
