JConcepts on the move, by J-Ro
Allison graciously dropped Andrew and I off at the OIA airport to begin our trip to the ROAR Modified Nationals. J82 challenge time folks! I normally don’t use the word folks but hey I’m on the
airplane and bored.
To rewind back slightly, arriving at the airport, the curbside woman glanced at our baggage and was a bit vauge in response to our request to check in our baggage. She recommended to go to the “counter” inside where they could better assist us. 30 minutes later we learn our flight was not on schedule and they were either bumping us to a flight tomorrow or offering a direct flight to LAX. Security was a breeze this time around except taking the shoes on and off. Why haven’t the Velcro shoes come back into style? They are easier to fasten right? Easier sells right? I wanted those so bad when I was younger. I always thought the sole of the shoe should have been Velcro also. You could hang them anywhere as long as the other side of the velcro was around. JConcepts velcro shoes would be dialed! Maybe this idea is for an older generation?
Side bar – I’m amazed with the patience of some of the parents at the airport. They just spent the entire week standing on line at Disney World and they come to the airport with fresh tans and Goofy hats (literally) standing in the same lines with their baggage unattended. Isn’t that a rule? Who cares about rules once your wearing a goofy hat I’m assuming. The rat maze lines just don’t feel right they have all 180 degree turns, personally I would prefer a chicane, s-turn or sweeper.
The sweeper would definitely be right before it was your turn at the front of the line. Last time I went to Disney I could hear the jaws of the fake bears at the Bear Jamboree clacking louder than the piped
in audio. I guess they save the latest updates for the Pirates of the Caribean? Maybe not. Technology must not be a factor.
Maybe when things are a classic they don’t need to be updated? They are just restored.
We are going direct to LA folks! Maybe I’ll pick up a nifty LA Dodgers hat at the airport. 
We also got bumped up to economy plus which means more leg room. Personally I’m holding out for economy plus plus which would be extra elbow room.
We travel big at JConcepts carrying parts and accessories to support our loyal team and customers. 2 JConcepts big racing bags weighing in at 49.4 and 49.6 pounds respectively. Roughly the weight of a small child. Maybe we can put the bags on our laps and save money on the extra bag charges? Yeah right, I don’t want to affect Mrs. Cranes beverage service. (Quick Change movie reference)
In tow we are bringing our latest black groove tires, the truck Bar Codes and 2wd and 4wd front Bar Codes, to go along with our already released Bar Codes rear buggy tire. We are planning on releasing the complete line of Bar Codes in late September early October. We have a multitude of compounds available to suit the different conditions.
Blue compound for blue groove type conditions and White compound for black groove. We will also offer a gold compound for indoor racing. Gold is pretty trick folks! Look for those for in the winter racing months.
Hope to have some photos tomorrow of some of the guys rigs. J82 practice should be fun to watch.
So I just purchased a $7.00 turkey sandwich in the airplane. I’m disappointed they don’t offer combo numbers yet on the plane. I’ll take the #3 combo with the sun chips for a side. Oh – add a cookie please and I’ll take a Diet Coke for the drink, I’m watching my weight.
