This saturday will be the last night of racing fro the season at L.A. Speedway, hope everyone can turn ot for it. I only ran here for the last half of the season, rael sorry I missed the first half. I would like to thank George and everyone at the track for one of the most enjoyable seasons of racing I have had in along time. anyone looking to spend more time on setup and driving ability and less time and bucks on the hightec part of the week, this is the place to roce next summer. Can`t wait for next spring, come and join us.

Excellent point Ray. nice to see your finally chatting on here a little. :) ill see you this saturday im sure its gonna be a great night of racing.

joe ivo

anyone itching to race dirt oval yet? LoL

Do you mostly run EDM or do you also have a class with late model bodied cars? And would it be 2wd.

are you guys running a weekly event ???

yes mostly edm and sprint. and yes weekly races but only durin the spring and summer

We are looking to create a 2 wheel drive late model class for next season. I am working on a chassis plate and arms to come up with a width of 200 to 210 mm, using astealth trans and assc. arms etc. I ll be glad to post the parts list once I figure it all out.

raymac1,

Is this LM class going to be limited to 210mm?

To tallpaul: The olnly reason for the 200 to 210 mm width would be because that is the width of most of the late model bodies. However none of the rules have been set in stone yet, as we have all winter to work things out. All sugestions are welcome. The only concideration we try real hard to adhear to, is to keep the vehicles looking as real as possible. the final rules rest with George at www.laspeedway.net.

im goin to take a drive to Georges today. gotta see what hes been up to. probly up to no good :)

Ray you itching to race yet or are you still pretty busy on your weekends. :) stop by the track sometime. YOU KNOWWWWW YOU WANNA! lol

joe ivo

Joe! I will stop up at Marshalls open house this weekend, as I still want to sell my 10L4 and all srare parts. I picked up my new late model kit from George last night. He puts together some sweat deals on late model E.D.M. kits and ready to run kits as well. Good luck this weekend .

Well spring is here and George is getting the track ready for the first practice sessions. Ihad hoped to go out this saturday and try out my cars,E.D.M. and Latemodel. But it dosent look like nature is going to coperate. We do need the rain but not on Saturdays please. joe are you going to do the anouncing this year. You did a great job last season. Hope everyone had a good winter, looking foreword to the first race. See you then.

Ray,

What are you using for late model?

CW GBX, Terminator?

Can you use any manufactured body?

Murdock has up to 250mm wide dirt oval wedge bodies that will work: http://members.fbx.com/rmurdock/windtunnel/Bodies
Would these be leagal?

Why the 19 turn limit for late models and the 17 turn limit for sprint cars?

How A Bought A Mini 18 Th Class Brushless !

Tallpaul: I believe the reason for most of the rules here are to keep things simple and on an even playing field for everyone. Check out Georges website at laspeedway.net for rules, photos and other info. Lets keep the cars within the established rules and try to avoid creating too many classes. Its been my experience that [depending on the no. of entries] running too many classes cuts down the no. of entries per class, this in turn takes away some of the competition, and all too often classes keep changing week to week, and then some weeks clases arnt run because af a lack of entries. There isnt too many things more agrivaiting than traveling miles to a race and not being able to run your class, or not run at all. Again lets keep things simple and have a season of fun and a lots of clean competitive races. Ray

Ray,

Do you have any idea how many people are running late model?

With gas at $3.25 a gal. I'd hate to drive 80 miles and not have any one to race with.

what do you think the biggest class will be

Mike my quess is that sprint car will most likely be the largest class if the end of last season is any indicator. I hope we see a good turnout in sprint, EDM and latemodel.

so thay only run that 17 turn class or is there a stock class allso

Mike,

The only sprint car class is 17 turn limit.

Late model is 19 turn spec.

im looking for a good EDM new or used
terminator or what ever

It doesn't seem to matter what motor or battery you use. Last year one of the guys won the sprint car class 4 weeks in a row with a 27t and a 2400 battery. Setup and driving ability make the difference. come and try it, you might like it.

does marshalls have a dirt oval track? the last time i was there they had taken out the dirt track and covered it with pavement.

no more

Wait a Minute- marshalls doesnt have a dirt oval track anymore which is why its great La Speedway is around! im sure anyone that gives this track a try will love it. its probly one of the most fun and easy goin tracks ive even been to.

Ray and George- as of right now ive been working on weekends alot and trust me i am trying to get off so i can announce. i had a great time last year doing it and really want to do it again. and ofcourse this year will just be alot better and more fun then last year!

good luck everyone and hope to see you soon!

do you get any nitro trucks or sprinter`s ???

Right now we have 5-7 nitro trucks that are going to run.

How about late models? Have any showed up to practice?

Five So Far

Ok everyone this coming weekend is the opener. trust me its goin to be a great time so please everyone come out and hang out with the gang. as of right now ill be there to announce and help out anyone who needs it. everyone should try to get into the points the first week considering this year there will be Cash prizes at the end of the series! hope to see alot of you guys there this sat.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo anyone home? lol i know everyone is busy but supporting hobbytalk as a huge end result of bringing more people to race. think of it as free publicity that thousands of people see aday. the more people that see us on here having fun the more they might wanna race with us :) so WAKE UP!

see you all on saturday!

OK Joe, Im here. Been too bust getting my car ready and doing a no rain dance totalk on this site. Looks like the rain is going to miss us. Should be a good turnout. Glad to hear you will be anouncing for us. Gotta go, see ya. Ray

lol Ray yeah it will be nice to see yah. im not tryin to come down on anyone about chatting on here. but theres no doubt that it is good and FREE advertisement :) seeya tommorrow around 4pm

I agree with you, maybe we need to talk to the other racers at the track today about the hobby talk site. Many may not be aware that it even excists. Possibly you could put in a few words during the race over the PA system. Lets see what we can do. See you this afternoon. Ray

yeah Ray you made a good point and i think tonight was a great first night of racing. all in all for the first night i couldnt complain. everyone seemed to get better at driving over the winter which i think is kinda amazing considering not many of them raced! my personal favorite part of the night was seeing the whole gang again. should be a fun season. next week ill try to remind people of the hobbytalk again and the website. so should be fun. see you all around soon!

Sure was agreat first night, looked like everone had a godd time, except for Andy, he didn t have any luck at all. What was going on? Glitches??? His car was fast when it ran. Hope they get it worked out by next weekend.

yeah glitches were very bad for him. he seems to never catch the right breaks. maybe next week he will use his own radio though and that will fix things up

hey i just wanna say that this year we will be keeping records for every class. they will be posted on the www.laspeedway.net (http://www.laspeedway.net/) website for everyone to see. but if there becomes a problem with us keeping the records as far as some drivers being over aggressive to beat the record then we will have to rethink the record keeping. i think its a fun way to judge how fast an individual racer is compared to the other drivers. so i hope we dont have a problem with them! :)

Congradulations to all Record holders as of 5/6/06

so is anyone excited about this sat? i sure am. this saturday im goin to hand out detailed instructions on how to get here because i know with the group we race with that most of them will find time to get chatting on here. no way they can go 1 whole week and not atleast talk about the races lol. :) you see im on here way to much because i cant get enough of LA Speedway! :)

stopped by sat night track looks real nice. they just need a good announcer:devil:
got me thinking of running dirt again after seeing the sprintcars

dirk i know George and everyone would love to have you there once in awhile. it would be cool to have the New Jersey crew there at times. let us know when you can come run. maybe for a week we could hook you up wiht a loaner to get you even more bit by the dirt oval bug :)

Hey Joe whats up? Im into dirt racing now. I hear this track is a lot of fun. I bought 3 sprint cars and a EDM I need to get some pin spikes and come up and see you guys. we should get dirk to buy a sprinter or edm to.

Bill that would be great to have you out here. yes it is a fun track and you should come give it a shot. i think we have pin spikes here at the shop if you didnt get any yet. and dirk was actaully thinking of possibly gettin a sprinter for the track. he looked at it last week and thought it looked nice. so who knows maybe once in awhile we will have a 19t reunion dirt oval style :) see yah around

Hey everyone so far the weather looks great for the day. hope to see a good turn out! come on down for some fun.

joe why if new clay was put down are guys running spikes and not foams
