Welcome to 2005.
At the request of Hankster we will start a new thread for 2005.

Let the games begin!! :dude:

Our track is located in Beaver Pa. Minutes from Rt 60 Beaver exit.Less than 1/2 hour from Ohio.About 35min from Pittsburgh.
The next scheduled race(oval and road course) is Sunday,Jan 16th.
Doors open at 12noon and racing begins at 3pm.
Normal oval classes are-
4cell stock. Bomber(spec motor and batteries) with a 50's body.
truck(usually stock) any tire.
12th scale.
It only takes 3 cars to make a class,so bring your buddies and you'll race!
Have a safe and fun year,should be a good one for R/C!!

By the way,Alan,Snookie beat you.

Thanks Tom . Cool new thread...Pics of the tracks... :cool:

Who beet Allan?

Can't have a Beaver thread without this.

Alan,Snookie beet you.

so snookie beet me,so how about the 2 times i beet him HAHA.
FEELS GOOD.

Allen,Snookie beat you

allen snookie beat you hahaha............................................ ?

What was that, did I read this correct?
Allen,Snookie beat you
:cry:

Wait a minute... I have a general question. If Snookie won the race, Billy finished 2nd, with myself finishing a close 3rd and Allen 4th..... Does it mean??? I beat Allen too??

Racing one week from today in Beaver. I do appreciate all you help on the Dyno work on my motors Allen. I think it is time to do a little 19 turn class. One week notice, get them ready to run. And as Always.....Bombers away !!

Wait a minute... I have a general question. If Snookie won the race, Billy finished 2nd, with myself finishing a close 3rd and Allen 4th..... Does it mean??? I beat Allen too??

Just like grade school, "everybody" beat Allen!

19 turn would be cool!!!

See ya'll Sun.

so allen lost one time :dude:

Love ya man! :dude:

So, its Wednesday.....who's in for racing Sunday?

me dude

Can't make start time on Sunday. I'm trying to get back in time fron DC to see everyone. Have fun without me...

I'm probably gonna race on sunday too

lil snookie.
let me know if your not.
allen.

Snookie,your lathe bit came in today.I'll have it Sunday.

Unofficial poll:
What day(s) would you like to race in the future?
1)Every week
2)Every 2 weeks
3)Sat or Sun
What I was thinking is this,racing on Saturday's with doors opening at 9am with the track closing at 1pm,and racing starting at 1:30pm.Plenty of time for practice and for folks that have to drive far can decide between practice or leaving home later.We would switch the track from oval to roadcourse every hour so travelers will get track time.That will be 2hrs of oval and 2hrs of roadcourse.
Also,what day(s) would be good for open practice night?What times?
Again,what I was thinking,Wed 5pm to 10pm for oval
Thus 5pm to 10pm for road course
$5.00 for the evening.
One simple rule will be if noone shows or calls by 6pm the track will not open for practice.
Please feel free to shoot holes in this idea and give your opinion.
If you don't post on here we will be asking at the track Sunday.
Thanks.

There will be racing on Sunday Jan 30th.
Doors open at noon,racing at 3pm.
After that race you may see some changes at the track.
Please see my previous post and give your opinion,or what works for you.
Thanks.
Tom
To all the AArons faithful,we plan on switching to Saturdays as soon as circumstances permit.If that is what the racers want.

We would like to do what the racers would like to do.So,if we don't know what the racers want or need it will be difficult to make the correct changes.
Please help us with these decisions.Thanks again.

Along with days and times,I need help with something else.
We may plan to have on hand popular tire's and parts that may be needed on race day.
Please post the compounds and brand tires you preffer and we'll see what we can do.
Also what parts(motors-motor spray-suspension-etc.....).
Thanks.
Tom

PanMan, made it back to town in time to run the 2nd qual. and the main. Throw the car on the track and go. But the boys did not tell you about the pit crew did they? That a story in its self...lol

We are getting allot of feedback on the track from e-mails and posts on this thread and others.Thank you.
But,we need to here from everyone,thanks to all for your support.
Tom

Some of the best racers have raced at The Raceway. Home to the onroad champ. Was home to the ARCOR master champ till he had to move. Lots of great compatition in both oval and onroad. Not to mention plenty of help from qualified people who will go out of thier way to help someone new to the track. With all the feedback the track is only going to get better for YOU the racer... :cool:

Where is the Click, have not seen any smack talk in awhile.
4 Gordons on the track in the A Main, who won?
Robbie Gordon in the black 31

What day will Beaver be racing after Jan ? What time will the doors open? how often will the races be held, weekly, bi-weekly?
Xanadu

The next race date is Jan. 30th doors oper at 12:00 (noon) racing starting at 3:00... :cool:

autry.t@comcast.net

I'll be racing this sunday here at The Raceway. Would be nice to see all the oval boys come out to play. If there is a good 4-cell turnout we could also run 19 turn.

I am going to try to start racing again if I dont show up this week maybe next time

We will be posting a schedule soon.

Mustang and HackG. are you boys going to come out and play?

glitcher - Did you receive my email?

Kevin

Kevin,I recieved one on the 22nd,thank you.

Hey Kevin, sorry to hear that you won't be making it this Sunday- maybe when it changes to Saturdays? Anyway, I am just reminding everyone that races are this Sunday, doors at 12, racing at 3PM; PIZZA! still arrives at 5PM.

Good fun racing Sunday.

We will not race next Sunday the 6th,can't compete with the super bowl!

Tentative date for the next race will be Saturday the 12th of Feb.
Doors opening at 9:00am,track opening at 9:30am.Registrations will be taken from 10:30am until 1:30pm.
We will be switching the track from oval to road course every hour until 1:30pm.
At 1:30pm the track will close.We will have a drivers meeting,and start racing at 2:00pm.
Again,any suggestions or ideas,please post here or e-mail me.
Thanks,Tom

autry.t@comcast.net

As posted earlier,we are racing this Sat,Feb 12th.
Doors open at 9:00am,track opens at 9:30am.
We will start with road course practice,switch to oval at 10:30.
Switch back to road course at 11:30,then back to oval at 12:30 until 1:30,close the track,have a drivers meeting and start racing with oval at 2:00, to keep the groove in the rug.
We plan on switching from oval to road course for every heat,unless the racers would like to do it differently.
Other things on the slate include running 3 heats and the mains,up to, a to be determined number of racers.Again,with the input of the racers.However,we are sticking with 2 heats this Sat.
Future plans call for new carpet,tire and parts inventory.and a change in required traction compound(witch we will have upon determining which compound)We have recently found that "Jack The Gripper" brakes down the fibers in the rug.
Possibly starting a club for the track that may or may not be affiliated with other tracks,club benifets and probably a points series.
For more news and info,keep an eye on this and the on road thread and stop by on Sat the 12th.

E-mails welcome.

autry.t@comcast.net

Something else to keep in mind,we will probably be racing on Sundays for most of the future races.We continue to work with other tracks in the area to finalize the schedule.
We will be taking input from you-the racer as to the frequency of the races,weekly or by-weekly.

Date for next race is Sunday-Feb 27th
Planning on the early start time unless we here differently.

Does Dan Hartman post on HobbyTalk at all? I have a XXX-S question for him, he's a real nice guy and has been a big help. Thanks
