Well guys the season is right around the corner. I know times are tough right now, but is anyone up for a GTG in CT? Maybe a little north toward MA or south to NY?

I am not sure where yet, but I thought it would be a good time to loosen up:D before those long nights.

I will give it a week of suggestions and ideas. I was thinkinging the weekend before Thanksgiving?

I know I need to get out and hang with some buds!

:drinkup

PS we need a chicken wing eating smiley!:D

11-23-2009, 02:03 PM

Did you use the wiring I had?

Yes we used everything you gave me . the problem was in one of the connectors. the ground that jumps from the hand control back to the plow was pulled out of the connector and preventing the plow to start. very easy fix and around $20 worth of radio shack parts..
please pm me i would like to talk to you

Hey Matt,
It sounds like you guys had a good time. I am sorry that i missed it.

Race went really well. Super exciting as anyone in the top 12 positions (for the season) could have won the season championship since 130 points separated the top 12 positions and 150 points went to the race winner. I drew the points leader first round :eek: and treed him with a .014 light. :D After a few more rounds, it was down to three of us who could have won the championship. I red lighted (like an a$$) against a newbie and was out, BUT, i came into the race 7th for the season and was 2 rounds away from winning the championship. I am pretty psyched about that. The way the points play out (the final is a double points race) I ended up 5th for the season. If I had gone 2 more rounds (and won the race) I would have been about 10 points ahead of the #2 guy. What makes me the most pumped, is that I did this only racing in 5 races this year. The guy who did win it is a great guy from upstate NY. He is the nicest guy and does a buttload of driving to go to almost all the races. It was his first championship and i am super happy for him. I will see if i can post some of the pics that some of the other racers took. The are a couple funky shots of my car (weird close ups) but none of me racing. The car is still on the trailer so I can always get a couple of her up there.
Later,
Stew
