Let the Trash Talking Begin!

This ought to be fun.  I won't be there, so please take lots of pictures!

The LCCA has always been a fun group and here is another reason why.

Al,

I would NOT recommend trying to win. You know if you do Reagan will just sit on top of you until you give the Golden L back. I'm just thinking of you and your safety. I think Dennis can hold his own though. It's going to be a GREAT week in Indianapolis!

Another LCCA fun event!

This is a toughie, I like the folks on both teams.  Looks like I will just have to root for everybody

Maybe the thing is to start a betting pool, winner gets.........

If it is anything like last time, this is gonna be fun!

Ed Boyle

I am rooting for Mike and Meegan for one reason only.....

If Mike loses, he will be depressed during his inspection, quality control of the Big Boy when he leaves for China.

Remember, he knows who has ordered, and who he can modify certain aspects of the Big Boy!

You really do not want the Whistle Steam operating when you select the Steam Blowdown and vice versa!

Sounds like fun. Hope there's plenty of photos.

Dennis and Al will have to carry Mike's bags in China and make sure his ice cold glass is always full of beer!

Who are the judges and exactly what are the judging criteria? If this is being held at an LCCA sanctioned event it hardly sounds like a "neutral venue" to me. Perhaps it should be billed as an exhibition "match" rather than an actual contest.

Owen,

When  we had the first match in Concord NC, the judges were from Lionel and the track layouts were designed and selected by members of the Lionel Team.  It is a judgement call on which team completes the track layout first.   Team LCCA lost on a judgement call.  This time I am certain we can find an "unbiased" LCCA member to judge.  Maybe, Ed Boyle will even volunteer to be a Judge.

Al K. 

Good idea since Ed said he was going to root for everyone.  Looking at the pictures from the last one, this event looks to be a hoot!  Very good idea to all who have been involved!

Ed, How about this:

Winners get the GOLD

Losers get thrown IN THE POOL !!! 

Big Mike must be in China; otherwise he would have chimed in by now saying: 

"Let the judging begin; I LIKE throwing folks in the pool!"

I'll be there and I cannot wait to see the outcome of this one!

Besides, maybe Big Mike will throw ME in the pool which is OK 'cause its hot & muggy this time of year in Indy...

Best,

Dave

This "contest" may be swell purely for entertainment value but FasTrack is just noisy and annoying when compared to classic tubular track.

Pete

Hey, I said I was rooting for everyone, not judging!

Spectating is a GOOD  thing

Ed Boyle

Ed,  have you ever considered a career in politics? I think the winning team should get to throw Ed into the pool!

al K. 

7/24 or 7/25???  Friday is 25th IIRC.......

Oops!  This event is Friday July 25.

al K. 

Al,

I'm with you; nonpartisan cheerleaders should be some of the first ones into the drink!  

Besides, when Big Mike sees this I'll be the very first one getting to cool off!

Best,

Dave

Look's like a lot of fun, wish I was able to attend. Looking forward to seeing lots of pictures

Alex

I like the idea of the winning team throwing Ed Boyle into the pool.  The second place team has to rescue him with no mouth to mouth recitation allowed.

al K.

I don't think it will be wise to have Ed Boyle as an an impartial Judge.  I have proof ( see photo below) that Ed and team Lionel is in cahoots.   See what happens to Ed below when he goes against Team LCCA!  

The LCCA Wants You to come and cheer for Team LCCA in the Rematch of the century,   Let’s Get Ready to Rumble in Indy!  LCCA team of  Al Kolis and Dennis DeVito will  take on the Lionel team consisting of Mike Reagan and Meegan Untereker in a Lionel FasTrack layout building contest at the Marriott East Hotel in Indianapolis IN during the LCCA’s 44th Annual Convention.  The team who can build the randomly selected track plan the fastest; will walk away with the Lionel Golden Logo prize.  This classic battle will be a rematch of the event held during Lionel’s March 22 Red Carpet Event in Concord NC.  Team Lionel won the first extremely close contest on a technicality, so the LCCA wants a rematch at a neutral sight.

The winning team will go home with the Lionel Golden Logo, while the second place team will have to go home with their ego’s   bruised (see attached photo).  Come to the Marriott East Hotel on Friday, July 24, at 4:30 PM and cheer Team LCCA on to victory over our friends at Lionel.   We hope to see you all there in Indy!   GO LCCA!!!!

The 7-22 -14 Lionel Golden Logo track building competition hype  is starting.  Team Lionel Member Mike Reagan and LCCA's  Al Kolis pose down for the upcoming July 25 Rematch of Lionel FasTrack Layout building contest to be held at the LCCA's 44th Annual Convention at the Marriott East Hotel in Indianapolis IN.  The trash talk is starting in person now!

The rematch of the century is on!   Team Lionel has finally arrived in Indy.  For a while it appeared this team may have been too scared to show up.    Let’s Get Ready to Rumble in Indy!  

As we get closer to rematch of the century, and the teams are both on site and in the same rooms, the psychological warfare is starting

The pre-match hype is started t o get a little more intense. Captain Morgan Reagan thinks he is a wise guy aka three stooges!

Toog

Please post the outcome, with video if possible and showing the end result of the layout they had to create.

You guys are having way too much fun.

Congratulations to Team Lionel,  On this specific day, Mike Reagan and Meegan Untereker just had too much experience with assembling Lionel FasTrack railroad layouts.  Team LCCA tried their best, but it just wasn't enough today.  Thank you Lionel, this event was a lot of fun!

Al Kolis

As a witness to the Build Off, it was lots of fun watching Al & Dennis attempt to put together their layout.  Meegan & Mike assembled their identical layout in about half the time, then offered to help Al & Dennis finish assembling their layout.  Wonderful Sportsmanship.  Will post some pics here in the thread after I get some sleep.
