TinyRC State Embassies
 

TinyRC, I think yall should see about trying to set up some "Embassies" around the country. Perhaps a couple per state, depending on size and population. Or at least one per state. These could be run by willing people who supply the raceways, judge events, give out prices, take entry fees, etc etc..... At these "embassies" there would be held races, special events, and so on and so forth.

I know that something like this would cost a lot of money for yall to do, and I realize that yall probably don't have THAT kind of money. That's what I mean when I say that there are probably some people out there who are willing to supply their workshops, driveways, tracks, etc etc. in order to help out. You wouldn't have to pay these people, only supply some small consolation prizes.

Weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, whatever, I just think we should try and work something out where racers can get together and race.

Just an idea, but a very cool and much needed one. I'm sure we can get something together and worked out.......L8r

What a cool idea! Who else would be interested in this?

me

me too

I fourth the motion and nominate myself as President of the Texas Chapter! :D :D :p

Rules
 

I'm gonna start working on the rules, send them to TinyRC and see what they think about them...... l8r

Indiana up in here!!

Let me know what goes!:D

I'M in
 

Count me IN!

just a few requirements
 

some of these rules may be changed depending on what TinyRC thinks.......

TinyRC will decide which person(s) of each Region of Competition will be the regulatory manager of that Region’s events and properties. If one wants to be selected, one must show proof of the below listed:

1. must provide efficient space for at least one Drag Strip and 2 regular racecourses.
2. must also be able to provide enough parking spaces to permit large bodies of people to easily park. No charge for parking.(may be amended for certain situations)
3. may not earn a profit of any kind with dealings of races, entry fee, etc. etc.
(items of convenience will be allowed; sodas, chips, etc etc)
4. must be able to provide proper toiletries for both male and female
5. must be willing to hold events until all events are finished(amount of time does not matter)
6. will receive an indicator proving that he/she is registered with TinyRC as that region’s manager.
7. May not change entry fee price w/out proper authorization
8. Must expect numbers of people to exceed 100, and must be prepared for this
9. May not allow use of alcoholic beverages; tobacco shall be permitted only in outside areas
10. Will be provided with certain items(prizes, gifts, sponsorship items) which will be decided at a later date.

TinyRC will not be held responsible for items broken, lost, or stolen from the managerial persons or anyone else for that matter.


just a few rules, may change later

So basically we're going to need access to a bunch of warehouses???

LOL Amen to that! :P

oops..... correction.....lol
 

ok ok...... those rules are harsh, so forget those... lol

i was looking them over, and i think there should be some changes

basically, somebody with a big driveway who is willing would be good....... but we still do need to have a Drag Strip and 2 race courses, because I mean, it wouldnt be very fun with just one course....


the 2 race courses: one oval, one road course(simple as that)

bathrooms: just have one that everyone can use

people making profits: up to TinyRC if they can or not

parking: up to the people holding the event

any other questions? this is still in the brainstorming phase, so it's still open to suggestions...... probably for quite some time........l8r

K dude......that's a bit more "civil" hahahaha:D

about the warehouses....... i know that was a joke, but if someone owns one or can use someone elses, that would be awesome

also, yall can help me out here, lol, i'm not the only one trying to make up rules and stuff, these are just ideas....... no one appointed me the Rules Maker Upper Person, lol....... so yall help me out with some ideas yall have.......l8r

I'd be very interested! Go Maryland Racers!!!!

so far we got Texas, Indiana, South Dakota, and Maryland....... once we get this started, more people will catch on and then we will be able to divide the states up and have meets all over the place.

we just need a starting point, someone who is willing to be the guinea pig...... I live in the middle of nowhere and dont have efficient space or else I would do it. just one person, no matter what state..... someone who can do this, some guys in the same state from this forum can go and tell us how it went..

cant wait to get this ball rolling............l8r

Kansas City Missouri here. I already have a growing # of racers(6-10 ppl and growing fast.) that race in my upstairs. Team Shen is growing rapidly. We need to find a place with more room. But beer is permitted at my track :D No smoking though!!
RIP

hey man...... I'm all about drinking beer and screwing around racing with some buddies......... but we are sorta talkin about like everyone can come and race, whether you know them or not....... and i dont think drinking around some little 10 yr old preacher's son would be very cool........ but hey, knock one back for me bro........l8r

I agree 100% Thats why I was saying we are looking for a bigger(better) place to race. I hope more people respond to this thread and we can get something rolling!!
RIP

yea, well we really need to TinyRC to support this idea........ they have acknowledged the idea, but as for supporting and perhaps sponsoring it, i dont know......... but we do need to get this together and rolling.........l8r

seattle, WA
 

well, TheFanMan and I probably would be willing to hold a race, but i dunno how big it could be. There are a few people (mostly high school kids) that might be interested but if there is anyone else in Seattle, Washington, or surrounding areas, who would like to help us organize one for here, email either:

cowfish_29@kassatsu.com

or

TheFanMan@kassatsu.com

keepin thread alive
 

just trying to keep this post on the front page, cuz most ppl dont look at the othe pages..........

cmon yall, lets get this up and running, it'll be cool as hell.........l8r

so far thats like 5 or 6 states that ppl have volunteered to help get things started........... but we still need more....... cuz although people in Rhode Island and Connecticut may not have trouble traveling all over the state, i think the ppl in Texas, Alaska, and Cali would think otherwise.......... so cmon ppl, lets get more info posted about this.......l8r

ok, new idea
 

this one is for TinyRC........ maybe yall could at least make small add-on to the forum called "By Location" ........ then the people around that certain could just get together and talk and make up their own races and stuff, since this first idea is going no where........l8r

hey ill help im in burlington New Jersey...almost in the middle of the state...

i guess TinyRC is ignoring us..... we got all these ppl from all over the country wanting to do this thing and we still aint got no reply, whats up TinyRC? tell us what you think........l8r

Dude relax and chill
 

Tiny is probally busy improving this site. or he might even have a life outside TinyRC.com! so mellow out and go play with you car or somthing but dude stop being rude he'll give you a answer when he can not like thease Embassies will go up over nite if you got that much time to post then you got enough time to start your idea you dont need tiny to tell you to jump off a cliff do you?

its a good idea so make it happen in your state

In my opinion, i think county embassies would be better than state. Especially in the bigger west coast states. I doubt people will want to travel 8hrs just to go to a microRC meet.

But hell, i'm interested :D

I'll take care of the FL chapter..... I'm in the St. Petersburg, Tampa Clearwater area. I already have a big spot in the open to race. If anybody is interested drop me an email.....:)
