I am starting this thread to officially announce that The Raceway, aka "The Beav" will be starting racing this Sunday Sept. 18. :thumbsup: The doors will open at 11AM, with races starting at around 2PM. Racers are responsible for lunch; Pizza! will be brought in for dinner. Mark your calendars, and come back to start our 8th year right! John @ The Raceway :wave:
No hobby shop will be on-site, but Hobbytown in Robinson Twp. will be supporting race events with prizes. Thank you Scott!!

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!

Sounds like it's going to be a good time!

cant wait to come back racing at the raceway :thumbsup:

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!

Sounds like it's going to be a good time! We're gonna see how many RCers we can cram into Bill Salerno's new race-wagon/hoopdie (1992 Checy Caprice Wagon). Gotta save on gas, ya know?


You could probably fit 37 if you cut them up correctly. :dude:


Great news,hope to make it soon! :wave:

Hey, that is great... Maybe I can actually race since this is my day off... or is it? Looking forward.
Mike!

Hi John, I hope to make it down on Sunday. Is there still a tire truer at the track?

Mike, the past is behind us- YOU are always welcome to come visit/race. I'll be glad to show you the camaro race car we have visiting.............John :wave:

If you have the Steelers game on, deal. lol (away game presumably)

Smooth sounds like you cant make up your mind which team to play for, 1st, Steel City, then AB Charles, and now the graveyard track? :tongue:

I race anywhere that has a track.

RC Racing isn't a game where someone has to 'choose sides'.
:rolleyes:

Further, if you want to spew venom, take it to the other thread. This has nothing to do with John's track.

Dinge, or whoever you are today, STAY OFF MY THREAD. John

Dinge, or whoever you are today, STAY OFF MY THREAD. John
I agree John.
It would be nice to talk about racing.You remember racing right?The reason we are on here chatting?I think we should try to keep this thread a bit more mature than other's.
I race when and where I like and my opinions are just that,mine.I don't voice them unless I am asked to do so.

So Mike? How's that new car working out? Have some good cell's for the Champs?
I've got my room reserved(thanks Gary!) and entry form is in the mail.I'm only running Master's sedan.To much good racing to watch to run more than one class :) I don't have any of my sedans ready yet,still in the dirt,but after this Saturday I'll start on them.I have to decide which car to run,Pro-4,TC4 or XXXS(very dialed by the way) but I think the HPI will be faster.

Hi John, I hope to make it down on Sunday. Is there still a tire truer at the track?
Brett, Good to hear from you! No, there is no "community truer" available any more, but I'm sure someone will always have one with them (besides the one Bill will have) Basically, there will just be racing and a good time, and of course PIZZA! at about 5PM.
The every 2-week schedule will be in effect through December, when the next few months will be decided upon. It will be more low-key, and act as "another place to race". Hopefully, some/all of the past on-roaders will find their way back, and if there is an interest in turning left (only), we will address THAT need as well. See you on Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!! John :wave:

John, got your flyer at the shop. Chuck stopped in with a few as well. I see you changed your name... I'm next. Good for a fresh start.
Mike

Mike, I only changed MY user name because the "old" one reflected a store/business that is not around. The Raceway is a racetrack with RACING as the focus. Thank you for keeping our flyers there, if you like, I will pick them up the next time I visit. John :thumbsup:

Not sure if you mean 'this' Mike, but if so....the new car is fantastic. It's nice to have something where you don't have to make so many modifications and compromises (different diff cases, shim this, shave that, etc). Just build it and go fast.

Won't be going to the Champs. I only get every-other Thanksgiving up here and need to spend it with my wife's family. (Turkey here, Christmas in Florida this year. Next year, we flip-flop). I do plan on coming over there on Saturday or Sunday to hang out and watch. Instead, I'll be going to the Halloween Classic, and maybe a few other big races after the start of the new year. Good chance the ROAR Nats will be outside of Wash, DC.

Of those 3 cars you mentioned, I would be leaning towards the HPI too. I know Chris Vogan likes it a whole lot better than the TC4.

John,
Why would you want to pick them up, I am displaying them for you? As usual, SCH is trying to help ALL tracks and promote racing and introduce NEW upcoming racers. We recently sponsored the Cancer Race last weekend, and the joint HobbyTown/SCH Steel Town Classic race this weekend - all for a good cause. Hope to see you there?
Mike

Thank you for keeping our flyers there, if you like, I will pick them up the next time I visit. John :thumbsup:

Mike, I just thought that with previous comments about this place (graveyard track, vacuum clogging, etc.) that the flyers were not welcome. I will be at the race at Hobbytown, as usual, and RACING this time (since my administrative obligations have been stripped). See you Saturday. Oh, bring YOUR MF-1 and race! John :wave:

John,
Although I do have several Hoovers on stand-by for the next enduro race, I was talking about displaying the flyers from the goodness from my heart. ha-ha Anyway, see ya Sat! I do not know if I will have the time to race, but it will be a fun time!
PS
Feel free to chime in for a few races if you want admin commentary - you ARE good at that with no doubt.
Sold the MF-1 - but have the MF-2.

Not going to use John's thread to promote one particular brand of batteries over another. If you find a company that gives you good results, stick with them.

I've found the battery to use right now is the IB3800. There's plenty of companies out there matching those too.

[QUOTE=buddylee503]glicher...you should try some eXpress cells...good prices and quality numbers
I'm going to have to agree with Buddylee, because I have witnessed the packs he has, and in charging, they are great, and in the race, WOW. His car and great driving did help too........... :tongue:
Mike R.- THANKS for putting our race flyers out, as you know I am fully committed (should be committed :confused: ) to this hobby/sport. I will announce for YOUR race, if you want to take the time to get your truck ready........ but I am there to race first :thumbsup: John

glicher...you should try some eXpress cells...good prices and quality numbers:thumbsup:

Hi Danny. :dude:
I am going to need some things for the Champ's,John,I'll talk to you Saturday.

Cya tommorow :thumbsup:

-Eric

Great racing and fun today.

Thanks

Dan

John,

Good to see you at the offroad (that's probably a bad word on this thread) race on Saturday. Long day but still alot of fun. Hope you weren't too tired for carpet racing on Sunday.

Thanks again for the pit spot & back-up parts.

Hope too see you guys soon on the "rug" instead of in the "ruts"!

Later!
-Jason M.
:thumbsup:

Jason, no problem! I was glad to be racing off-road again- it's been a long time... No, I wasn't too tired to run the races here on Sunday, because it gives me ENERGY to be at a race! I will be seeing you "on the rug", but only about 2x/month at the Gate, then BIG local races too.
DanDan- Nice to have you race- both YOU & E.O. have alot of potential. I hope you stick with it and try to make a few "bigger" races this season.
Finally, thanks to ALL who attended the re-opening of the Raceway. This track STILL holds on to it's original charter- Built BY RACERS, for RACERS. The only thing that you could be lacking after racing here is more PRACTICE! :tongue: I hope to see even more on the 2nd!!! Thanks, John :thumbsup:

Had a good time yesterday.

Have fun in Sin City!

Had a great time on Sunday ;) Can't wait to go back :thumbsup:

John, thanks for the kind words, I had a fun time. Keep it up :)

Sorry I didn't make it down this past weekend. I came down with a case of the punies and didn't get off the couch sunday. Did anyone race 1/12th scale or just sedans?

there was just sedans there
