Careful with the beach though, they are projecting 10-15 foot waves for tomorrow.:eek:
And yes, temps do drop as you get closer to the beach.

I wish every other car was a Mercedes, Porsche, or BMW. Then I would feel rich :L:. My parents each own a Camry ('97 and '00). Are you sure that you're not thinking of our neighbor Newport? THEY got some nice cars...

I know how that is, I'm in Saugus, about 5 minutes from Valencia where every other car is a H2, BMW, or a something fancy. Then again, it doesn't help that my parents have a Benz. :D I just can't stand the large population of yuppie soccer moms with their SUV's.

its suppose to be 30 tomorrow :). good thing my local track is indoors. I actually use them more now then during the summer (race once a week and might even practice now).

I once drove my TB EVOlV at my local track in the night and humidity topped 90% easily. Well, what do you think of that?

JOHNNYMAXXIMA 12.21.2005 04:17 AM

Cool. As long as you didn't drip you sweat all over the electronics.:L:

captain harlock 12.21.2005 10:25 AM

But the brushless setup did not even thermalled and that is something good. Oh yeah, I was using a 5v fan over the controller. Well, to tell you the truth I dont sweat that much, since I'm very skinny and diabetic, too.

the cold weather and snow force me to race inside at a small indoor track with my gmaxx makes for very intresting races

nbcaznmaster 12.21.2005 04:02 PM

NO MORE BRAGGING!

gixxer 12.21.2005 07:20 PM

boss,
same here. in the summer I race on an 1/8th scale track but this winter the owner ripped up his carpet track and now its stadium trucks, buggies and mini's on an indoor dirt track. Its not the same but atleast I ran run in the winter now.

against what?

boss 302 12.21.2005 10:56 PM

squee
i usually race other monster trucks emaxxs twin forces and clod busters it is a very tight coarse and it is very hard to navigate without a good setup on a monster truck and it also means there will be several broken parts(i think that this is what you were asking about)

There is officially no complaining unless you live in New York City. We've had a transit strike and have to walk everywhere! Or else split a cab with three other people and have to pay $10 each! And on top if it it has been about 20 degrees.... FUN!

gixxer 12.22.2005 02:31 AM

boss,
i am not complaining at all. the track is not the same as running on a 140+ foot straingt away but i am happy to be able to run every week rain or snow. The track might only be 70x30 but its fun and I think it will make me a better driver. this is a picture of the last lay out http://www.wolcotthobby.com
