+Bodoni Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 It's been way too long -- we need to vent some frustrations on the race track. The next race is 2/19 at 7:30pm at HotTrack. Save that payday cash and Remember that Wednesday is half price for "Ladies"! If you haven't seen fractal's helmet/goggle psychedelic combo -- if you haven't been shunted off the track by The Tungsten Jihad! kart of doom -- if you just c a n ' t get enough petrol fumes in your daily commute -- you must bring ~$30 to HotTrack! I'll see if I can find a nearby watering hole that's open later than 10pm. Any suggestions oregone? Quote
soup Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 And this timing is bad for me. I have to work until 7:15, so I would be late. I will make the attempt. Plus I now have a defense mechanism againsed T.J. I'll shoot rockets (bottle) at him if he tries to crush me into the wall again. What do you call 2,000 pounds of Chinese Soup? Won Ton. Quote
my sister Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 a-timin' I will smash all of you into the boards..buwahahah Ah, but timing... I may be a little late too. It's a school night (but luckily, not an important one). -my sister being good (within reason, of course) Quote
+oregone Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 I'm definitely coming if the jihad comes. I have finally figured out the proper retro-fitting on my kart to literally blow him off the track. I don't want to let the secret out here on the forums, but i know his Achilles' heel. As for post-race entertainment, i vote for the Alibi on N Interstate down in Portland. Lauren says that bringing geocachers to the Alibi would be 'cute.' all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote
+The Tungsten Jihad! Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 I would definatly like to take the ol' Internal Combustion War Chariot out on the track and smite a few of my fellow cachers but alas I will be out of town that week. Quote
+Bodoni Posted February 8, 2003 Author Posted February 8, 2003 Hmm. The date seems problematic. Postpone a week to the 26th? Will that work better? And how about the time -- is 7:30 good, or is 8 better? Quote
+Grandpa Rocks & Grouchy Gramma Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 The 26th would be better, can't make it on the 19th. Haven't been to the place yet but I remember passing by it when we did Hammerhead and thought that would be a lot of fun. Too bad TJ can't make it, I may have the bulk to hold my own in the corners against him and have been known to use a few NASCAR moves during my racing days . We might make up classes for the likes of TJ and myself who are of a more, how shall I say it, manly proportions, versus the ummm less gravitionally challenged ones . In case of power failure stand close, I glow in the dark. Quote
Sassquatch Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 anyone but. As noble your effort may be, I think I may be the only ansewer to the, blast T.J.off the track with bulk effort, for I am a recognized beheamoth. I noticed it one day while at the lower lodge in the mens bathroom and I asked everyone why they didn't tell me I looked like Grizzly Adams or at least one of his prey. Alas wednesday is no good for me. I do see a pattern here. SCARED? Quote
+Bodoni Posted February 24, 2003 Author Posted February 24, 2003 Just a reminder -- we race this Wednesday. We'll do it at 8pm and will try to come up with someplace that stays open later for afterwards. Our next race will be on a Sunday to accomodate folks who can't race on a weeknight. Sound cool? Day or night? I prefer night or afternoon . . . Quote
soup Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 I might go. I will work with my better-have (spelled that way on purpose). I can smell the gasoline allready. S Quote

Syn Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 I have been absent from the geocaching community way to long. I remember when I was a young buck in this sport and had big ideas in my head to catch Oregone and Explosis and become the state leader. I think I lost that idea when I did my 22 or 23 in salem in one day and came hobbling home with blisters. Sign me up...will be there at 8. SYN Quote
+Grandpa Rocks & Grouchy Gramma Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Got permission, got cash, got truck, got helmet, got lead foot, will be there. Eat my dust . I've gone to look for myself, if I should return before I get back, please keep me here. Quote
+Quantum Mechanic Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Evenings are good for me. Sunday days are reserved for the couch...and short walks to fridge to get a coldy. -Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital dying of nothing.- Quote
Syn Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 It was nice to see fractal, soup, bodoni, and granpa rocks. Thanks for the fun guys. Quote
+Bodoni Posted February 26, 2003 Author Posted February 26, 2003 Yes, that WAS fun! This time we didn't have the place to ourselves, but that made for an interesting sideshow while we cooled off between races. All except for Scuff (or whatever his name was) who spanked us all. What's up with that?! The next race will be on a Sunday, and from on- and off-line feedback, I think it'll be late in the day. Give us all a chance to get some caches in and then race to our doom! Bwahahahahaaaa! Oh, and I never got around to asking fractal -- where did you get that shirt? I think you should post a picture . . . Quote
+fractal Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Good times.. Good times.. Felt good to race again..even though I know I'm gunna hurt.. heh quote:Oh, and I never got around to asking fractal -- where did you get that shirt? I think you should post a picture . . . Yeah.. I kinda like that shirt. Got it from some guy who wanted to rent some space on the Moonrize server I think everyone will get to see it pretty soon... -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45? 30.ish W 122? 58.ish Quote
+oregone Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 sorry i missed you guys, but i had to go to the hockey game. party at my house saturday night? word on the street has it that slinger is offering phone book-ripping classes that evening... all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote
soup Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I am telling you, somebody sabotaged my kart! Twice!! That must be the reason I didnt get the fastest time. Oh and about Scuff, I think it was the foam that did it!! Fun it was, but difficult getting used to the car again, espically around curves! _S Quote
+Grandpa Rocks & Grouchy Gramma Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 It was unfair! I had to carry 100 pounds extra weitht so of course I was just a wee bit slower than the rest, sort of a rolling chicane for everyone else . A good time was had by all and the next time everyone should show up for the good times. And come ready to race, theses guys are quick . I've gone to look for myself, if I should return before I get back, please keep me here. Quote
+Team JOYSON Posted March 2, 2003 Posted March 2, 2003 On our way home from the dog park this morning we noticed sign for SyKart here in Tigard. Seems there's a new indoor kart place coming to town. Nothing more than a sign is there yet, but if the information on their website is correct, they're cheaper ($10 vs. $14/lap w/ membership), larger (1/4 mile vs. 1/5 mile), longer (10 min vs. 8 min laps), and CLOSER (Tigard vs. Vancouver) than HotTrack. We haven't been able to make it to one of the HotTrack get togethers, so it may very well be COOLER, but we thought it might be a fun alternative that's closer to home for most of us west siders. Worth checking out once it's up and running? Jason of JOYSON [This message was edited by Team JOYSON on March 03, 2003 at 07:51 AM.] Quote
