Hey Kat,
Is there going to be someone selling hobby supplies at this race??

thats a big 10-4 good buddy! i told the hobby shop on wheels to stock up on tire truers! ahahahahahahah

Will they have any of the Ultra-bird handout motors for sale? I,ve bought wore mine out :p

Hey Kat,
Can you or Mike Bean offer a suggestion for set ups for 10th and 12th scale for this track?.... anything that could put us in the ball park will help........including gearing. Stock 10th scale and 12th scale. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Ginsu you got the new pro 3 I have no idea what that car needs. I run on LF red RF white LR red RR gold for springs. this makes the car really steer good. tires always RC4Less 3 pinks and purple. uhm gear alot lol I can't remember it come see me on Sat I help yah any way I can look for Focker lol seriously I have the purple white and orange 17 cars.

31 pinion, 120 spur with a 2.25 tires a good place to start in stock.

hey Lee I just checked some notes I had and you might want to add about 8 teeth to that. last time out I ran a 112/36 with 2.20 tires in stock

Dave havent been there yet! I was using my runline calculator to get that. 112/36 sounds awful tall for that size track, I was told 140' runline is that incorrect?
P.S. ran Hobbyworld last night to get some foam and asphalt time in, Had fun 9 cars in stock! Uh ran a 38/112 gear and 2.20 tires :confused: Epic Binary motor though. Dang them Pedanos are fast!

i don't know about the run line but that's the gear I ran. as far as hw you are right there maybe just a tick over geared like 1 tooth or a little less.

19 turn gear..2.22 tires 36-37 100

stock 2.22 tires 33-34 100 this is ball park

bring those skinny tires with you,strickland is as smooth as any carpet track i have ever ran on. you can get away with super small tires and it's the fast way as well.

i run 3 pinks and a purple in 19 turn at every track but MTR and TQ hobbies this includes carpet. rc 4 less is the tire of choice and track record holding tire at almost all florida oval tracks.

the track is larger than 140??? it is a tweener sized track ultra smooth with awesome rear bite! friday night will be a good time to try some things....hope to see you all there...

HEY DAVE?????

Thanks Kat!

Looooooooook out!! I heard a rumor the oval maybe small.... almost Race Rock size. Bean always tries to keep the oval different. Can't wait to see the TRUTH!!

From the pictures the track is somewhat away from the driverstand.

Does anyone know for sure about the track size??

Well hop on here Mr. Bean and tell us!

Well hop on here Mr. Bean and tell us!

Does anyone know??

The track size that they normally use is about 230' drive line. The overall size is 60' by 120'. The oval does not stay set-up permanently as they also run On-Road once a month with it's own lay-out. I don't think Mr. Bean even knows what size it will be untill it is set-up. However, as far as racing surfaces go, this track is by far the best that I have raced on in the state of Florida.

track size may be kept a secret to keep the local racers from a advantage? it is up to mike bean and his crew. either way it is a awesome track!

guys flat oval is flat oval. it is our knowledge of the surface and how it reacts to changes that gives us the advantage.

Have to hand it to Mike Bean and his crew for evening out the playing field!!

Guys don't quote me on this but there's 2 storms gaining strength in the Bahamas. I really hope this doesn't effect the next FOCAR race.

What type of sprint cars do you run???

I would love to race sprint cars!! :thumbsup:

The weather channel said the cone of uncertainty will hit Strickland RC racetrack on Saturday. Not to worry though, I am sure Mike Bean has an alternate indoor venue in place. So the race is ON! Or we can run in someones living room. :freak:

I am living on the edge, I quoted you and am running around my house with scissors!

weather as of today..looks good...if all goes as predicted,lol.

sprint cars are gear box custom works cars..they have them for sale at superior.

i discussed the idea of sprinters and it just won't fly at either the holiday classic or the focar races in 2005.

BUT the series is dropping a couple dead classes in 2006 and would love to accomodate a full blown electric gbx sprint car class with plaques and cups for the year end points!

friday night mike bean has said the sprinters are welcome to come race with us..this would give some of us an idea on how well they work outdoors on asphault. i hope a few show up!! one of the series head line sponsors is custom works and the sprint cars would fit right in!

REMEMBER FRIDAY NIGHT THE 23RD RACING AT 7 PM GATES OPEN AT 5 PM!
SATURDAY THE 24TH GATES OPEN AT 2 PM RACING AT 7 PM ISH.....SEE YOU ALL THERE!

Hey man, that's funny!!
