[JohnCary]

I had to chance to drive over to RattleSnake Raceway this past saturday and I was blown away by the number of racers and awesome qulaity of the track. I just wanted to stop by and say it was a honor racing with you guys and I hope to do it again soon. Here are a couple pictures that I took while I was there. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/logicbike/IMG_6727.jpg

Very nice pics. :thumbs:

Where is this track?
:D *hint track locator* :D

Glad to have ya john welcome to nitroaddicts.

[jaylude22]

No pics of my car? I'm bummed :cry:

[JohnCary]

The Track is RattleSnake Raceway in Cottonwood, Ca.

What paint scheme did your truck or buggy have?

[jaylude22]

Jason Melfa, yellow/blue 8ight with black wing. You probably didn't get any of it because you were in the same heats and main as me. Maybe Scoobie got a couple.

[JohnCary]

Yea, we were in the same main. I'll try and make it to the next race if possible and take as many pictures as I can. You had a pretty strong A-main run. Congrats on the 50lap race. Do they ever do any 30min or 45 min long mains there?

[jaylude22]

Thanks. They seem to like the short mains. I'd like to at least try a 30 min. main and see how it goes. Days like yesterday really make me anxious for the next race day! :D

[scoobie]

Awesome pics john! Thanks for getting over to the site and posting them up!!! Now I have a new avy pic!!! I know the drive is a long one for you, but there is some really good racing around here. You should come out this way a little more often. Paradise Hobbies usually has some good racing and the track A Main is going to put in is going to be a top notch facility. I hope to see you at more of the races around here.

Here are some pics of the track. I dont think I could find it on the track locator, its out in the boonies. Maybe jaylude could find it....

[z3usX5]

John what camera did you use for the pics?

[scoobie]

it was a nice cannon with a HUGE lens...

[jaylude22]

It was good to meet you too Matt, hopefully you'll be able to make it up here more often to race with us. I hope to make it to the Paradise races more often now that I got a new pickup. Thanks for posting the pic of my car. It's a reminder of how dirty it was but the cleanest cars aren't always the fastest :blbl:

[JohnCary]

For the pictures I took over the weekend I use a Canon 20d w/ the Canon 70-200m L 2.8 lens. For the pictures with flash I used the same camera setup but added two Canon flashes to give it a better look.

[CraigBrandol]

Great job with the pics. We appreciate the pics John and Matt.

The track is located in Cottonwood, CA. Contact Mel Fisher @ Hobby Masters 530-275-8200 or email rcgeezer@aol.com.

Thanks,
Craig
