Have you ever been out practicing/bashing at the track and for some reason some one desides to try to run with you and get in your way alot, break your truck, or have they wrecked you a couple of times? Did it tick you off? Did you want revenge and closier? Did you run over their buggy/truggy/stadium truck or even thier monster truck intentionally? Lets hear about it.:eek: :D :cool: :rolleyes:

I had a neighbor kid, lived up the road a ways, kept showing up when I was bashing in my front yard. No biggy, I liked showing off my moves. One day, he showed up with his buddies and him and another kid had Nikko brand Mudder looking Jeeps. Wow, I said, as I continued hitting my ramp, and ramping my curbs and other obsticles I put out. They of course wanna play too. Ok I said, have at it. Here I am hitting my curbs,(that is the onlything they could not do at all), minding my manners, and one of thier trucks comes fliing over and hitts my truck knocking out a body pin and stripping out one of my big ol fog lights I mounted on the hood. I am a little upset, but hey they are kids right. I find another body clip and put my poor light in my box for future repair. They want to make a game out of hitting my truck. I am running my quad MAXX back out for some more, and bahm, wham, I get hit by both of them. Kids, quit, or go home. I run my course a half lap and baham! Fine, I will show you...I hit the throttle, nail one, it is rolling behind my Quad Maxx, the other thought he could out jump mine and get away, laughing the whole time. Crunch!!!!^^^^ , I land on the rear of his Jeep with my skid plate. I felt bad seeing as how the 2nd truck was busted...(broke off the roll bar, rearend, 1 rear tire, and bustest 2 chunks out of the body). Now, next time, when someone says quit, QUIT! I called thier parents, let them know the shpill, and offered to by a new Jeep for them. I got to keep my money, and they were tought a lesson, Don't bring a toy to a Monster Truck fight. You will lose eveytime.

I don't think I've ever had someone intentionally target my truck, but my Revo was slammed pretty hard the first few times we took it racing on the "real track"... I guess new racers who bring lightly modified RTR's to get into racing find out fast who rules the roost. Anyway, I just always fix the damage and wait for my heats and run my races. Whenit like-minded MT guys on the track, they seem to empathize with you some.
Now when the A Main buggy and truggy guys are practicing, I just give them the track and come back when they are fueling or cooling. It's cheaper that way. And, I believe they have come to respect that I respect them. It's just hard, because everyone starts as a rookie in the beginning.
Now I run a big decal on my trucks:

lmao, STUDENT DRIVER, that is the single most hilarious thing I have heard of. I need one now so that everyone who comes in behind me will have a laugh too. The truggy & buggy class @ my local track respect th MT's and MT's do the same. We try to stay out of one anothers way as much as possible, but it does not always work. STUDENT DRIVER, that's funny.

i just got done breaking in my maxx. later that day, my brother asked if he could give it a try. at first, i said no, i told him that my maxx most likely wont take the beating that he puts his revo 2.5 through. he begged and finally i said yes. we were at my friends house , who has a revo 3.3, and he was out driving. not even 5 seconds after my brother grabbed the radio. he pulled out right in front of the revo 3.3, which was at full throtle. BAM! my truck kinda flipped over and rolled to a stop, still running though. i ran over to shut it off and realized that the whole front right was demolished. i had to buy all new arms, shocks, hinge pins and almost cried. but my friend was laughing his ass off for his revo only had but a scratch on the front bumper and he was still driving. i still havent got my revenge on my brother yet...but i will, and when i do, you'll know about it.

lol, thnx...the only time i went to a track (with my stock, few-week-old stampede the only other things on the track were a BL losi XXX-T, a losi or kyosho buggy, and nearing the end of my run a full-aluminum rc18b, so i really didn't have much to worry about except pulling over for the faster guys when they came around

I'll tell what I have seen and it is pretty funny when it happens. And it happens quite often. At the end of a race, someone powerslides after the finish and now their car is sitting sideways. The running right behind them blows across the finish line. Instant T-Bone. A couple of times, near fist fights occured, a lot of swearing and stuff getting knocked over. Thats why you exit the track when you are done. Track directors don't tell you that for the fun of it. Ha, ha, ha!!! Can't wait for this race season.

LOL, yeah, I've seen that also. A few buggies got tangled and busted once or twice. But watching the MT guys do it is hilarious. Stuff gets broke big time, and everyone is Tissed* off. I think when I finally get to race, I will make a victory lap, and then do my donuts after all trucks have left the building. Heck, a win may even require the trade marked Carl Edwards backflip off the start/finish line jump. (Of course my Revo will have to do it cause my fat @$$ cannot.)
thats is hilarious. i wish that i had some stories like that, but i dont
