***CRAZY THINGS AT THE TRACK***

[t3racer]

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE WORST CRASHES YOU HAVE SEEN OR THE DUMBEST THINGS YOU HAVE SEEN PEOPLE DO?

[rc10gt_bb]

i STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRAIGHT ONE TIME BECAUSE i THOUGH THE RACE WAS OVER. bOY DID I GET SMACKED!

[DJ BlendeR]

After having a serious pile up that included all but one racer on the second corner, the cars were set straight and there was a jump right then, half the cars landed on the other half. Only to be followed up by the same group piling up in the next two corners, needless to say the one car that got out won.

there is this huge 3 foot tall jump, parrel to it are some windows that go into the hobby shop. on my first few laps during practice i flew my xxx through the windows and on to the hobby shop floor.

the anonoucer, now warms before it race, the spectators of the inherit danger.

[t3racer]

hehe, i always love to see the kid(or grown adult) go nuts over a crash, hehe, just the other week, Nairb and i raced with a kid(first race) and of course, expecting to win, tried some funny stuff with a buddy of mine in a qual, AKA HACKING, well, he was racing a XXX, and my friend had a XXT, well, which do you think won? the guy who stuck to his line, the kid ended up qualifying terribly and made the b-main, only to try the same stuff with another truck, and he got pushed around, he not-so-graciously parked his car, and turned his radio off, why? because he is a hack that bit off more than he could chew, i always love watching the low main novice class, it is always a surprise that anyone even finishes.

Practice day. Only me and one other kid there. I had my GT out. He had his 1980's (looked like) Traxxas bandit out. I was seeing how fast I could make my laps (racing practice). Apparently, he was going the wrong way. Really long straight + full throttle with my GT. Old buggy cuts the coarse and jumps in front of me. Big, loud crack. I drive off.

[t3racer]

ONE TIME I WAS AT MY LOCAL TRACK AND THIS ONE GUY CHALLENGED ME TO A RACE ( DURING PRACTICE). SO I PUT MY T3 ON THE TRACK AND HE PUT HIS XXT ON THE TRACK. AFTER ABOUT 5 LAPS HE TRIED TO RAM ME OFF THE TRACK, BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. INSTEAD HE HIT THE WALL AND SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH HIS RECIVER OR SOMETHING AND HE WENT FULL THROTTLE DOWN THE STRAIT AWAY INTO ANOTHER CONCRETE WALL AND HE TOATALED HIS FRONT END! WE HAD 20 BUCKS ON THE LINE......LETS JUST SAY A HAVE A NICE PARE OF HOLE SHOT T PROLINE TIRES NOW. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

don't you just love it when corner marshals look at fliped over cars and admire all the neat hopups. You have to yell "don't look at flip it over!!!"

Theres has to be some good corner marshal stories!

[LosiMan3456]

This one marshel was walking across the straight in front of me and didnt see me coming. SSSMMMMMAAAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!!! I naled his ankle and broke my F Shock tower. He walkied off the track limping. The worse crash I have seen was when this one guy was running his XXX (in practice). He had to of had a mod in it. Anyways he would do tail whips in the air and was showing off. Then he did a tail whip right off the track and into the radio impound. Luckily there were no radios in it. Also in a race the same guy was in a truck race. They all put bullseyes on there cars and tried to hit each other. It was funny. Then at the end the put a bullseye at the end of the straight away and the same guy again came flyin down the straight away and nailed the wall an bullseye with his car.

A bunch of people at my track decided to have a demo-durby, I think the next morning when they woke up they saw how dumb they were

[BadRacer]

Hey Losiman I think I was that Corner Mashel! LOL http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif But forreal thats what happend to me cuz everyone that gets done racing in a heat, a few of them have to go and corner marshal. Well i was by this jump about halfway through the track,...a buggie jumps it and lands perfect...then goes into the turn and there are little bumps, he was going way to fast lost control and hit me in my dang leg! Man did that ever hurt! Also it is true about the corner marshal thing J mAn...i love looking at the cool hop-ups and details the modified guys have when their cars are turned over. Okay now back to the guy that hit me in the leg. After every race was over for the off-road course me and the guy that hit me decided to mess around on the track. We started off like we were racing...i was on his tail and he couldn't shake me if his life depended on it. The huge jump was coming up, he got over it with not enough speed and i landed right on-top of him in my T2 (now have a XXXT) well he was mad and now is racing me seriously. A lap went by and he caught up to me and somehow taped the back end of my truck in a turn and i went into the corner hard. Lets just put it this way, at the end of the night he needed a new body and wing and i needed a new charger! LOL http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Was marshaling a novice race that my daughter was in. She happened to flip in my corner I went to get her car when a truck drove under my foot and I stepped on the front tire and broke my ankle. The odd thing was is that I was out of the racing line against the pipe. It cost me six weeks in a cast and I replaced the kids turnbuckle.

If he was then the power to him. I mean gosh, you had to pay for hospital bills. That sure was nice of you.

I race on-road 1/10. Guy was goin between 40 and 50 mph and his rx battery fell out on the straightaway. When the turn came, he smashed into the wall goin that fast. He only broke a suspension arm. Gotta love HPI.

[hfracing]

There was this stupid guy who got an idea! lets try to push everyone of the track(onroad ) during practice. worked well until he tried to take out my modded landmax. I didnt meen to, but my car hit his little ttr 1/10 nitro touring in the right side and broke his tuned pipe, manifold, radiotray, bent his chassisplate busted the suspension+++ (expensive). My car got a schratch!!!!! hehe i was going full speed down the straight with a TTR 21 pro engine and 2speed! cool . The guy almost began crying!! BUT, he will never push another landmax of the track http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif
