New thread for the new year. Everybody say Thank's Hank for this great forum!

I can be there by 1:30. I like the new rules. One time late last year you started @ 12 and that put it a little tight for me. If nothing bad happens I'll try to be there.

Hope to see you this weekend David, If you know you are going to be late call ahead with your sign up info so we can get you into the computer. 478 256 2032. Nothing goes into the computer after 1:30 so we are gaurenteed a 2 pm start.

Cliff,
Could you repost the info for the Florida / Georgia series? Tryin to get my work schedule right so I can make as many as possible, Thanks :cool:
Oh yeah the Trucks gettin a major overhaul and some new technology for next time, LOL
Lee :cool:

Cliff,
Never mind :p found the info on the Branford page, lookin forward to this series!

I hope it's a lot of fun for everyone

The weather channel keeps upping the temps for Sunday, we are set for mid to upper 50's and rising. Mid 60's would be nice. I hope the Valdosta boys make it up for a little action as well. Even though we are slack this time of year we (Andy and I) get to go and do some of our best racing of the year from December to April, be it in Branford, Jacksonville or Daytona we have a blast with a lot of great racers. It's nice to put on a show up here every once in a while during the off season (weather permitting) just to stay fresh on the home turf. Some of you guys have been asking about the schedule and it is posted @ www.echeconneesuperspeedway.tk

Read the footnotes next to the dates for all pertinant information concerning points ect. Also I will be getting info up on hotels and such for the Southern 500 very soon so you can start making plans to attend.

See y'all Racing Sunday!

Cliff........ Willis and I are definatly coming

Wade

Outstanding!! Look forward to watching a great race!

Weather update: Weather.com now forcasts a high of 60deg for Sunday! It just keeps getting better.

Racing is still on for this weekend and the weather is still looking good!

Racing was good this weekend the weather was a little chilly but we are racers and that's what we do ; race.

Cliff Had a good time!!! I can take an a!@ whooping with the best of them!!!

Donnie.... tell Sammie again that his car looked great, sorry we cut out so quick. Long ride home and we had some problems with the truck on the way up,,, and the way back too.

Cliff the new format was interesting. It definatly kept us moving. I didn't realize how quick the hour went by, played catch up on charging batteries all day. Next time will be better prepared when charging.

Wade

Had a great time weather was nice. I love the cold so it was excellent for me. Now if I can just get that brushless rocket under 6.5. HEHEHEHEHE :tongue:

Oh part of my post was left out. It was great to see the Dublin, and Valdosta gangs again. Looks like we have some healthy competition this year, like always the season starts with Daytona.

yea the new format seems to work well for everyone and yes you really have to stay on top your batts but there is no question about when they need to be ready. Sorry to hear you had vehicle problems, hope it wasn't serious. The only other thing I am going to do is put a clock on the outside of the scoring booth when we are racing so everyone is on the same time. I figured that the new format will work for up to 8 heats with 2 minutes in between and room for 4 minute grace periods per hour and that is if all the races are 5 minutes long. We still need to work on the turn marshall thing some but we will get it together I am sure. I am working on the FL/GA points series particulars and will have it all posted on my site soon. Scott has requested that the break out down there be set @ 7 seconds, so it will be 6.5 here and 7 @ Branford.

burrr cold sux!!!!!!! lol it gets below 70 and i almost freeze to death lol. the new format is good u just have to make sure everything is ready before the heats start. not much time for motor rebuilds . definatly only can run one class now .

Donnie

Ya I would have ran open stock but I didnn't have much time to work on my car after I broke the T-plate when I was out there practicing. You diffently only have time now to run one class.

Cliff check out my post in oval racing events and see if I have it right and how it looks ,Thanks Scott

We will be racing this weekend as the weather will be nice for February. Gates open @ 10am and racing starts @ 2. First qualifier will start @ 2, 2nd @ 3, 3rd @ 4 and the mains will start @ 5.

HOOOLLLY #$@%, I know what I'm doing sunday

i will be there as long as its 60 or higher and the wind is calm any colder and i will not be there lol

HOOOLLLY #$@%, I know what I'm doing sunday


good, maybe we can talk about these purple motors I have been trying to get running.:)

lol they aint that hard lol

well I am temporarily stumped, Weather forcast improving every day for Sunday. I sure am looking forward to it!

good, maybe we can talk about these purple motors I have been trying to get running.:)

You mean to tell us that after all the guffaw you are going to try and run them slugs? :confused: Try 24 degree timing and gear the snot out of them. If they burn your finger after the race you almost have the gearing right. Put another tooth on it and dont touch the motor. It will be hotter. Strange thing about those trinity hand out motors is the stocks have killer magnets and the 19t's have poop. If they put the same mags in the 19t's they would be world beaters for the money. On the other hand I've heard through the grapevine that some guys have run as much as 50 degrees of timing but it burns the comm real bad. Yikes!

I will be there but I can't stay long probably just practice.

HOOOLLLY #$@%, I know what I'm doing sunday You must have gotten lost. LOL I got the purple motors running, I just have to find the right gearing.

I had fun for a little while. :dude:

Just to cold for me. It was so cold in Jax., I almost left half way thur the race.

It ended up being really nice, even Donnie was in short sleevs, lol

Cliff,what classes will there be for the Southern 500?

break out, stock, truck and 19t. Possibly an open brushless class as well. We will be asking for pre entrys this year so we can have the trophy's ready.

Stock or 19T truck?
Thanks Cliff. :thumbsup:

stock truck

Today was a great day for practice.

When is the next time you guys are going to run.

April 10th. It is the first race of the 2005 season , first Echeconnee points race and the first points race for the GA/FL points series. Check out the web page and if you have more questions ask them here or e mail GTOCK1000@aol.com.

Do yall have a pit area like at Mr.Scott's or do I need to bring my own table and a drop cord.

There are pit tables available

Could you recommened any nearby motels for the race coming up the 10th of April. Would Warner Robins be the nearest on 75? Lookin forward to comin up and runnin your track.

Work schedule is harder to work around this year. :mad: Kevin

Georgia guys. It was fun to meet and harass you guys in Daytona. Y'all have a good group of guys up there. Well, all except for that Clifford guy, Y'all are all ok with me.:eek:

Butts said " What is an itchy Connie anyway? " :drunk: hehehehehe
I,ll be brining a Nastruck and a stocker for the 10th :cool:

Trying to get use to truck racing.

The Southern 500 is coming up soon as well on Memorial day weekend. I know the NORRCA NATS are the same weekend but we have run this race on the same weekend for the past 14 years and the organizers knew this and picked the same date anyway. All of the entry information and hotel info will be posted soon under southern 500 nats thread. I will also get some directions and hotel info up in a couple of days for the season opener on this thread.

I am going to try to make it up there for the 1st points race.:thumbsup:
