Echeconnee, What are the rules for your 6.5 break out class? Couldn't find anything on your web site regarding the rules for this class. Motor/gear/body/wing/batteries/weight????

Thanks

Tom

Rules for all classes are as follows:

6.5 Break Out:
You may run any NASCAR or NASTRUCK body. You must run a pan car. You may run any battery, 6 or 4 cell in series. You may run any motor to include brushless. You can laugh and have a good time but you may not turn a lap faster than 6.5 seconds or you lose it. Goooood Luck! The race will be called but no lap times will be called out and positions may or may not be correct depending on how many 6.4 second laps you turn.

4 Cell Stock:
Any ROAR, NORRCA, ARCOR approved stock motor to include the epoxy balanced snow bird handout motor. Batteries up to 3700 mah. Minimum weight with transponder is 40 oz

Stock Truck:
Same as 4 cell stock but with a truck body. Spoiler max height is 2", no wings allowed.

4 cell Brushless Stock:

stock car rules apply except for motor. You must use a Novak 4300 or 5800 Brushless system set in stock mode to compete. No reverse


19t Modified:

ARCOR has the best rules for this class so we will use those (Thanks J.B.) they are posted @ www.arcor.com (http://www.arcor.com/) The ultrabird is also permitted.

Nitro Oval/ TBA

We will also have a 125 lap enduro race, we will draw 20 names and run two seperate 125 lap qualifiers and the top ten from both qualifiers will run in the 125 enduro for the $$$. There are a couple of other rules that will be explained just before the qualifiers. If you qualify in the top ten for the 125 enduro the entry fee for the race will be 10 dollars. If you win you get the 100 bucks, if you turn all 125 laps to win we match the 100 bucks for a total of 200 to win. This race was a blast last year and will be even better this year! You must run a 10th scale car or truck body, NASCAR style and you have to have a great time! TQ awards and 125 winner pay out will take place at my favorite eatin place , Byron Pizza @ exit 149 off I-75.

Hotel details are still being worked out and a flyer for entry will be available soon @ www.echeconneesuperspeedway.tk (http://www.echeconneesuperspeedway.tk/)

Please feel free to ask all the questions you like here and I will answer them all the same day here.

Entry fee for first class will be $35.00 and $20.00 for each additional class.

When are you going to start accepting money for this race?

Rod, we will get entry fees at sign up at the race. That is when you will get your raffle ticket as well, it comes with the entry. I will be talking with the scarecrow at the race rock race to see if he is still interested in running the race for us.

it's official, we will be having a fish fry on the 19th (friday) before the race around 7pm. Fresh caught and cleaned here in Middle GA. Fortunately I can fish better than I can drive an R/C car.

Sweet tea,Fried catfish and hushpuppies :tongue: yummie!!
Cliff, I,m guessing the IB3800s wont be legal for this race? I,m buying a few fresh packs for the summer and just curious what my options are. Probaly buying the GP33700s anyway.

Lee :cool:
have Hyperdrive will RACE!!

whoops meant GP3700s not GP33700s, LOL

The 3800 batteries will be legal for all classes @ this race.

The race info flyer is up on the website

www.echeconneesuperspeedway.tk

Still trying to get the best deals on a hotel but I think the best thing to do is just suggest some hotels close to the track and good places to eat and let you guys just get on priceline or other internet discount service and get your best deal there. The fish fry is going to be a goodun and will save y'all from searching out a meal Friday night while trying to practice.

We are racing tomorrow, c'mon up and get you some so you will be ready for the 500!

Radial tires will be available @ dealer cost for the Southern 500 August 18-21st

I will be ready.

Just 2 more weeks! Who's eating fish?

4 Deep Fried Georgia Catfish filets, bout a half gallon of Ice Cold Sweet tea and bring on ALL the hushpuppies :tongue: LOL
Cliff, If ya need a extra deep fryer I can bring mine, have some fresh peanut oil also.

I don't know about the tea (it's hard to keep) but the rest of it is going to b great. I am trying to get some of that famous Georgia Siver Queen corn on the cob too but it might still be too early in the season to get it. TWO MORE WEEKS!!

Last chance to practice this Sunday the 500 is almost upon us. Who is running in what classes? Who is signing up for the 125's?

I need to know if anyone plans on running 19t as we need to get the plaques ready.

Hey Cliff if it's OK in addition to general raffle stuff I'm bringing I would like to add a couple of things to that Hyperdrive Pro3 give away. How about a full set of ceramic bearings (1/8 or 3/16 front bearings your choice), a set of ceramic diff balls and a full set of RC4LESS Foams to go with the Pro3!

See you Saturday.

BT

Bruce I am sure the racers will just love that! I know Andy and I will sure appreciate it!

You heard it guys Bruce has just kicked it up a notch, "BAM"!

In my book thats called a "CLASS ACT"
Thanks for kicking it up a notch Bruce

thats great someone is gonna get a nice!!!!!!!!!!! ride

Oh yea, I got the car today. All I can say is NICE JOB HYPERDRIVE! I couldn't help snooping around the box a little.:devil: By the way it is the slider version of the pro 3, even comes with an IRS D-ring type axle. Just a couple of more days. I am getting anxious!

Man that is nice.

The weather is still looking favorable for racing this weekend, keep your fingers crossed!

Got a box in from lefthander today, a big one! Thanks guys we really appreciate it and I will be ordering a tweak board for myself. The pack of hefty cells are, well, HEFTY to say the least. Best 3700's I have seen yet.

Well as I was typing the last post another box came in from Raceway manufacturing, I hope they are not out of stock now, geez what a prize packadge! Thanks to Ron Norton and his bunch down there in Florida, they have supported every race we have had since 1992!

Hey Cliff, can you explain the 125 race? Is it one battery pack to last 125 laps or are you allowing quick change cars and as many battery packs as you want and open motors. Fill us in.

Thanks

Tom

Tttttt

Tom, one battery pack, 4 or 6 cell, any motor and no turn marshals.

Hows it going Cliff? Hope you have a great turnout! Wish I was there, couldnt make it because of changes at work :( just got home from work......NOT HAPPY. Yall have fun and keep us posted on the results! Dang I,d like to see that 125 race! did you really say no turn marshalls? wooooohoooooooo

I think I can speak for everyone, "We had a great time". We had a light turn out but those who came were treated to some great door prizes from Raceway Mfg., RC4LESS, Mcallister racing bodies, Lefthander R/C and Raceway Motorsports. We also raffled off a new Hyperdrive Pro 3 that was supplied to us at a greatly reduced price and Bruce with RC4Less kicked in some ceramic bearings, diff balls and a set of orange hoops to finish off a killer racing package. As luck would have it a rookie racer named Justin Cox from Pooler GA won it. What a great way to get into the hobby! Lefthander sent a really cool scale board with the scales included, I know I am ordering one Monday. Race way sent a bunch of stuff which as you all know is all highly polished quality racing equipment. John with Raceway Motorsports kicked in a pit drop cloth and car hauler bag from Epic. Triplett with RC4LESS brought his stuff with him to race and he had some cool stuff, especially the ceramic bearing kits. We all like the Mcallister bodies, they have a real scale look and the price is right! Next year's race will be moved back to Memorial weekend and it will stay there until I stop promoting this race. Thanks to all who made the trip in spite of the ridiculous fuel prices. Wish I could just change the battereis in my real truck!!

That's awesome! Luck doesn't fly that way for me....LOL

I wished I could have made it, but I'm running behind getting my track together, so I spent all weekend in the heat working on it. Then Friday night after starring at those warped up beat to death walls, I decided to put new ones up like Rush and Son has. Is a track ever really finished.....LOL

Glad you had a good turnout....but I never read how the fish fry turned out?

Kenny@RAPTOR

I will let the guys who were here answer that one. I am partilal, I did the cooking, lol

:tongue:

I wanted to go. I couldn't though, I have some injured family on the mend and, either on top of that or because of that, I had to work Saturday. I was depressed. Hopefully things will be straightened out enough in time for me to go to the SOTC. I'll probably be down there for a normal race shortly, though.

fish fry was great i have to give him props on the food.
