Met Monster Mike in the flesh :)
 

Sunday I took a 2 hour trek to Barnstormers Rc raceway in Chester NY, I decided to give Mike a call and see if he was around. He was and told me he was going to come down to the Barn and meet me.

Day went on and I cruised back into the pits(indoor pits) the Monster was standing at my pit table! Greeted and chit- chatted about various things then he told me he was going to stay and watch me race... Thats when I got nervous:oops:
Made sure my truck was together and tight and went out and tried to just run the same way I always do.. So much for that..:oh:

Buzzer sounded and I made it into turn one first, and led the first two laps aways infront of the pack.. then my nervous fingers got to me and I smacked into a rail tie holding the pipe.. when the marshal flipped my truck over only one wheel was steering... So I ran down (off the driver stand) and checked the truck, only a ball cup popped off popped it back on and booked back to the stand... When I got back I was a lap down in 3rd to last...

Turned the burners on and started tearing up the feild, worked my way through the pack twice and ended up finishing 3rd with fastest lap of the heat!

Mike was impressed with the finish after my mishap.

Cant wait for the bash,
Thank you Mike for your support and putting up with my shenanigans!:party::party::intello:

Your so lucky. Mike sounds like a really down to earth guy. Plus he's always been nice to me in his e-mails! I wish I could meet him

Hes pretty cool! quite down to earth
come to the bash!

Im proud to be a team rc-monster driver.:party:

I'm trying to make it. its only an hour from my house. The only thing that I have that I can run on the track is my hyper st and I need some smaller wheels. I'm currently running hpi terra pins and i don't think they'll do well on the track.

I always have that with my summerjob. When the boss is watching me work I screw up everything :)

@ bigboi146, go anyway if only it's to meet everyone, sounds like fun. Besides maybe someone else can help you with a set of tires.

Tires are not an issue can bring a set of bowties for you.

It's a bring what you have kind of day. It's all good fun.

The Senior Monster is a very down to earth guy, very laid back. We had a few phone conversations ranging from Castle products to religeon and he's a pleasure to chat with, would like to meet the man behind the forum and these great products myself. I was hopeing to make the journey to the bash but after crunching numbers (fuel cost, hotel, beer&food etc) I just cant justify the expense. Bummer

Booo :no:

Mike is definately down to earth. Was just nerve racking to perform infront of him (my sponsor) :lol:

Thanks will you be bringing your hyper st?

nice to see an owner of a company/business willing to take the time and talk to all and is down to earth.

Besides, he is more of an rc addict than we are!

Yes along with the buggy, Revo, Slash 4x4 and CRT.5...

Yes he is....I was nervous with him there also....Dont ask me why but i guess i just wanted to perform well....But of course my rear diff had to take a crap! :neutral:

But yes Mr Monster him self is a VERY cool guy! And look forward to bashin with him!

You have a little performance anxiety billybob? You know they make a little blue pill that can help with that... :wink:

:lol::lol::lol:
I did, but then you just have to come down off the top, man handle it, call it your b**ch and run it hard and fast:oh:

HAHA Dont think so.:lol:..I was more pissed off at my truggy than anything. I Race NASCAR Late Models:smile: been racing REAL CARS since I was 6 :whistle:........And if your not nervous in that situation your not human! :yes:
