Chris,
I love this statement in your post "I have a hard time flying T-34 because I'm not patient enough and tend to get cuts".
I guess it doesnt matter what class I fly....I have no patience!!!! I get lots of cuts.

It takes roughly 5 seconds for a T-34 to fly a straight. It takes ~3 seconds for a Gold/120/Unlimited. That extra 2 seconds feels like an eternity. Not only that, if you initiate your turn at the same point you will shoot farther past the pylon with the faster planes so you start your turn even earlier. I think I've had 1 cut in the three warbird races I've attended. I managed to go cut free at the last T-34 race, but I've probably averaged 1-2 cuts per race over the last two seasons.
Anyway about it you are the king of cuts! Wasn't it something like 24 in one day?

I think I hold the record for cuts in 1 race, with Kevin as my caller.
I am really looking forward to this race, I expect some great competition, but unlike the TMT I have a 1.10 on the front of my bird and she is flying well. During the last warbird I was clock at 10 second laps on course, I have slowed her down a touch.
Guys, I am picking up some fuel on the Friday before the race so I would like to camp out on Friday night, I would expect to be at the field by about 9pm, can anyone PM me their phone number and the gate code so I can get in please. I am selling some of the fuel, 15% bryon for $17.50 a gallon, I have 9 gallons left for sale, if you want some then let me know.
I am glad I have plenty of room, I will need it to bring home the trophies for bronze (pending upon successful test flight this weekend) and silver.

Yeah Bear, don't you just hate it when those careless race pilots fly BACKWARDS so THEY can hit YOU with their rudders?!!!!!!
. . . Man, I hate it when that happens!
And, I never knew you held Leadfoot's piloting skills in quite so high esteem. It's really is quite touching! I mean, he must be incredibly talented to flip his plane around in a 180 degree spin while simultaneously doing a 180 degree turn-around at the North pylon, just so he could take his buddy out of the competition. That he could do all this while finding your plane's ''Achilles heel'' so as to cause a total loss on your part, while only putting the smallest scratch on his rudder . . . you must think he's a FLYING GOD! That you would pay him such high praise after what he did to you . . . Well, let's just say that you renew my faith in the generosity of spirit and forgiving nature of mankind. I'm not a particularly religious man, but . . . BLESS YOU, BEAR!!! Bless you!

Oh yeah I remember some guy with a ''Leadfoot'' just took me out and now I'm stuck in the weeds.
Tommy when Leadfoot talks about three mistakes high he's really talking about in relation to his airplane. You see that's his kill zone and no one is safe.

Have you been writing yourself prescriptions for the "hippie lettuce" again?
Your joking right? Tell me your joking? I'm flying in clean air nobody in front of me and upon exiting North pylon my plane explodes and plummets to the earth and your saying that somehow this occurrence isn't related to An un-named Leadfooted Rookie pulling a hard knife edged turn directly into my flight path.
I kindly ask, "Can I get some of what your smoking sir?"
and nobody expects you to put a smiley face at the bottom of each post that's silly. A Simple note explaining that the facts below have been altered in an effort to wash any balsa dust away that may or may not be on my hands.
That Dr..........Should be more than adequate at clearing up any confusion.

Spencer, the only thing that is going to be thrown in is the towel your caller will be holding when you get lapped! Stick to golf my friend, it's more your speed!

Well the only reason why my caller would be holding a towel is because your caller had an abundance of them just to make sure he wouldnt run out of them for you... and golf can be fast...at times... atleast when im driving the golf cart.

Roy is no where like Racer X. Roy is not feared or an incredible racer. The only reason he is a nemesis is because he always get's in the lead planes way as they lap him.

OK is that enough trash talking? I'm not used to picking on this many of my friends.

Chris,
If you grew up watching Speed Racer cartoons as a kid, like I did, then maybe this will help clear things up:
Like Racer X, Roy is the mysterious,often feared, incredible racer that you will soon discover to be your arch-nemesis while onthe course. He will do whatever it takes to win. But, although you may never come to know it, he actually ''has your back'' when you are off the course.
Was that helpful, Chris?Does that put your mind at ease?
(Please don't tell me I need a ''smiley'' here, too! You all get that this was tongue-in-cheek, right!?)
Well, just in case it wasn't, I PM'd you. I'd be happy to help you with your RC County run.

Alright, all kidding aside, I have no idea who the hell Roy is.
Any of you SAMS boys: If you are going by RC Country in the next week and wouldn't mind picking up something for me please send me a PM.
Thanks,

Say what you want in your trash talking, but some have,unfortunately for them, come to knowRoy Battyas a fierce and deadly competitor.
I'msure this picture will helpeveryoneremember the 2-Minute Tango when I snapped this picture of hisdevious demeanor,in-action. Like Racer-X, forcing lesser drivers off the course and over the cliffs to their ultimate demise, he applied his brand ofcold, calculating, consistent, pressure on Jim Sweeneythrough 3 sphincter-puckering laps like this.So completely crowding him . . .so completely unconcerned about his own, or others, survival . . . coldly calculating that he could squeeze Jim closer to the pylonwith each of those three laps . . . and pushJim to the breaking pointin his deadly game of"Chicken" such thatJim would have to fold under the pressure and eventuallyturninside the pylonto avoid becoming confetti. Thus, forcingJim intothe cut that wouldhand Roy the ultimate victory.
If memory serves, and I believe it does,this was Jim'sfinal race, for overa year!
COINCIDENCE?!!!Or did Roy'srelentless pressure get inside the head of this former Gold Champion, and so shake his confidence that he is only now able to return to the race circuit? (And, todo so onlyin Silver?)
Like the mysteriousRacer-X, he is not afraid of actual contact if you will notyield to the relentless pressure of his mind games. Onmultiple occasions,he has completely taken out the competition in his bid to win at all costs.His insatiable hunger for the taste of Mustang balsa, in particular,is becoming clear. Chris,I think he feeds on fear, because nowhehas even begun traveling from circuit to circuitto terrorize and claim further P-51 victims across northern California. Apparently, the SAMs club no longer offers enough prey.
And Chris, like the Phoenix, that supernatural bird of prey, rumor has it that he has risen once again, to compete in Gold at this race, in search offresh blood . . . another Mustang to add to his evergrowinglist of kills.
So . . . I wish you well, my friend!

Scrap Metal Puppy-
Maybe it's because I don't usually fly the Mustang, but Roy doesn't scare me. Balsa is as Balsa does. My big block is tuned up and ready for whatever Roy may throw my way.

RE: Warbird Race - Sacramento - June 6th - President's cup
Yes Jimmy, "Balsa is, as balsa does." And what many are learning the hard way, is that what balsa all too often "does" when Roy is around, is end up in a crash bucket.
Just as Super K has too often demonstrated his acquired taste for ourtail feathers (specifically, yours and mine), Roy can't get enough of those hated Mustangs!
You and I can worry about Super K, and how we'll ultimately satisfy our need for vengeance against our own personal nemesis, and let Chris and the other'Stang driversdeal with their elevated stress, knowing that they have to eventually take on, and cope with Roy.
Wish you were flyin' in Silver, Super K!
Just know this, "I will be comin' for you eventually!"
