goin for 2? double feature weekend. halfway through with one record down on the oval one to go on the road, lol. what a tuff life! c-ya there. Layta, Jesse

My apologies; but it's late, I'm tired, and I have an early plane to catch. Plus, I couldn't find the Mains printout; so the details are a bit sketchy, right now. Thanks; Ernie P. :cool:

Well, it was Sunday; Thunder Road; and road course. So, the only question was whether Jesse and his flying T2 would set another record, right? Well, try telling that to Eddel Veloso.

Jesse dominated his first two heats; easily handling Eddel, Clint Withrow and Mack. In the third heat, Eddel seemed to have found something. He was all over Jesse's bumper; and finally slipped past when Jesse ran into traffic. Then, on the last lap, Eddel coasted to a halt two turns before the flag; leaving Jesse with the win. Clint seemed to have found something as well; as he was running faster than he had all evening. Mack was a distant fourth and wound up in the B Main for his efforts.

Ben easily won all three of his heats; beating out Grey and Ernie Padgette easily; making his way into the A Main in the process.

Mack stroked the B Main; as Ernie was having an off night and couldn't stay off the rails. Grey trailed in third.

When the A Main started, Jesse Bean, as usual, jumped into a quick lead. Eddel slowly pulled in on him; pushing hard on every lap. Finally, Jesse made an uncharacteristic slip; nailing the wall hard and leaving Eddel with a five second lead. Jesse chased hard, but couldn't make up the deficit; winding up three seconds back. Clint ran faster than he had all night; pulling third in the bargain. Ben trailed in fourth.

This is the second time Eddel has taken a race Jesse looked to have locked up. One thing is for sure; Jesse is going to be working hard, looking for a way to even things up.

yes Thunder Road Is Open On Easter Sunday For Road Course!

This past weekends racing at Thunder Road was a mixed bag; especially for the owner. The weekend got started with the Oval track on Saturday. After some quick consultation, the majority of the fast boys decided to run Stock Class, rather than SPEC NasTrucks. SPEC had been the big class the past few weekends; and with a thin field, the majority feeling was that the Stock cars needed exercise.

Big Clay managed to leave some vital bits and pieces at home; and he asked to borrow an L4 off the “For Sale” shelf. At the time, it seemed like an okay idea. Little did I know….

Throughout the heats, Big Clay was trying to get the L4 handling to his liking. Harold Ruckle, after missing the past few weeks taking care of domestic obligations, was uncharacteristically off the pace in his Hyperdrive; and I was thrashing around, trying to fix a bad “loose off” condition with my L4. That left Jesse Bean with an easy time of it. But, by the time the third heat was run, Clay, Harold and I were feeling a lot better about our cars; and looking forward to giving Jesse a run. No one else was in the hunt, so the Main looked to be a four-car contest.

At the buzzer, Jesse simply checked out. Harold had some sort of a problem and missed a couple of laps. Big Clay spun, no one else was close, and suddenly, there I was in second place. I remember thinking that I could probably hold off Clay; but that was about as far as things went. I spun in the middle of one and two, with the nose hard against the pipe. Well, at least I was out of the way, right? That’s about the time Clay arrived, with my loaner car. Why Clay was running so close to the wall is still a mystery; but the results were pretty predictable. After I finished collecting all of the bits and pieces, I had almost enough to start building a race car.

Jesse just breezed to the line, Clay nursed the L4 home without any one else getting in his way, and Harold recovered for third. A fun time, but I really have to rethink this loaner program thing. Just kidding, Big Clay. <g>

The Spring Smoke road course race on Sunday was much better attended, as the out of town crowd showed up to collect their share of the $500.00 purse. Despite my misgivings from the day before, Big Clay talked me into loaning him my spare TC4 for the race. I was too busy with the shop and running the computer to race myself; and there was no good reason to leave two good cars sitting on the bench, right? Little did I know…

The heats pointed toward some exciting racing in the Mains; as Jesse Bean spent all day running near the Stock TC record. Eddel Veloso seemed to be just a tick off his normally blazing pace; and Charlie Johnson was still working the teething problems out of his new T2. Clint Withrow just keeps getting faster and faster in his XXX-S; and Clay was looking pretty racy in his borrowed TC4.

In the 19-turn Class, Billy Spence was looking very strong with his T2. He and Jesse had some real battles in the heats, with Eddel and Jon Laster struggling to match their pace.

In the Stock Touring Car B Main, Mack Anderson managed to hold off a much improved Grey Flora, with Jason Smith trailing in third.

After the heats, Jesse Bean looked to have things all wrapped up with his T2; but some one forgot to tell Eddel Veloso the plan. Eddel had done some tweaking on his TC4; and when the A Main started he simply glued himself to Jesse’s rear bumper. At the buzzer, the two of them quickly started stretching a lead on Big Clay. Charlie Johnson was running in fourth, with Clint Withrow all over him. Eddel kept the pressure on, all the way to the finish; but Jesse ran less than three seconds off the track record to take the win. Eddel was exactly three second back in second. After doing a lot of position switching, Charlie Johnson managed to be in front of Clint Withrow at the finish. Big Clay turned in a fine performance in my spare car… until a wire came loose. By the time he got it fixed, the race was almost over; and he wound up fifth. Not a bad performance from an oval racer, Clay!

The TC 19-turn Main promised to be a real shootout between Billy Spence, Jesse Bean and Eddel Veloso; but Billy ruined it. When the race started, he simply checked out; leaving Jesse and Eddel to fight over second place. Billy turned in a spectacular performance to break Paul Lemieux’s lap record, set during the JACO/SMC Snowflake Classis roar course race, back in January. Jesse and Eddel did some swapping around, but Jesse was a lap up on Eddel for second at the finish.

As a special note, this was one race with no shortage of turn marshals. Plenty of spectators showed up to help out; and one lucky volunteer went home with an SMC 6 cell 4200 battery pack as a reward. Jaco, SMC and McAllister all donated much appreciated door prizes for the race, and we thank them for their generosity. Thanks; Ernie P. :cool:

This is an Invitation to the Thunder racers to come on up to Parkersburg,WV for some great asphalt racing on the 27th of May....it is both a trophy race and charity race combined....there will be raffle items from corally...x-ray....associated...parma....SMC...Jaco....eXpress motorsports...Traxxas...

Hey Ernie/Jesse,

I plan on driving up to Gordonsville do some Touring Car racing again on Sunday the 28th with my new T2. Trying a new setup that matches one sponsored Xray driver. I'm sure all of the regulars will be there for some stock action.

-CJ

Whichever form you prefer, we'll be running this weekend at Thunder Road; Oval on Staurday; Road Course on Sunday. We'll open at 9:00 on Saturday and 10:00 on Sunday; with the racing action starting at 3:00 PM both days. Come join us for a couple of days of great racing. Detials, directions, maps and more at thunderroadrc.com. Thanks; Ernie P. :cool:

The Thunder Road oval crew had a fun day of racing on Saturday. Some intense racing; some racers with much improved performances; and no one ate the boards to any serious extent.

Joel White and Harold Ruckle dominated their respective heats; with neither one seriously challenged. Joel had been at the edge of the fast group in previous performances, but was looking distinctly stronger this time out. Harold Ruckle had done a fast change from Stock to SPEC NasTruck, since the SPEC Class has been the dominate class as of late; but managed the switch without losing any of his customary speed. Charlie Johnson (CJ) was having a good weekend, running hard; and Calvin R. had his new truck hooked up and capable of running some fast laps. Ernie Padgette also had a new truck and was looking racey. Robbie Bingler and Steve Walker were fighting various handling woes; but looked capable of getting to the front when they had a clear shot.

The B Main was all Mike Ruckle. Crashes took out the main competition; leaving Mike all alone at the bell. Calvin ran some very fast laps; but couldn't string enough of them together to challenge.

The A Main featured the first head to head matchup between heat winners Joel White and Harold Ruckle; with little to choose between them. CJ trailed closely all the way, unable to close on the flying pair. Ernie was shunted into the wall early on; leaving him limping with two broken wheels. Harold ran hard, but was an occasional tenth off the pace; and that was all Joel White needed. Joel ran a clean and fast race; ending with a bit less than a lap on Harold at the line.

The road course racers take to the track on Sunday; and are looking forward to another fun day. Thanks; Ernie P. :cool:

We'll be running the road course on Saturday; and the oval on Sunday. Details, directions, maps and more at thunderroadrc.com. Thanks; Ernie P. :cool:

Rain outside, HOT racing inside! The last saturday road course race for June was tons-of-fun with the Vigilanty and the Demon Dog, aka Banana Boy, in attendance adding their TC3s to the carpet track here at Thunder Road in Gordonsville. Carpet was fast and so was Jesse with a few high 8-sec laps. The competition was great but the attendance could have been much better. The Next (SAT.) TC race is 22 July and it's going to be BIG !! Check out http://www.thunderroadrc.com/ and look for the Sue Rickman Benefit Race flyers on the home page. Its a worthy cause AND as always, should be lots of heavy competition to cut your teeth on.

big crowd this weekend with big names. c-ya there

the list is growing. for the road and oval races this weekend

The Sue Rickman Benefit Races at Thunder Road RC Speedway, in Gordonsville, VA, will be run this weekend. Road Course on Saturday and Oval on Sunday. Details are at thunderroadrc.com. Time to race, guys! Let's go! A great cause and a great way to donate. Thanks; Ernie P. :cool:

The Sue Rickman Benefit Races were run at Thunder Road in Gordonsville, VA, this past weekend. Attendance was disappointing, considering the charitable nature of the events; but the racers who showed were rewarded with some great racing and some great door prizes, courtesy of sponsors Team Associated, B-Main Motorsports, BMI, Darkside, EAMotorSports, Irrgang Racing Service, Integy, JACO, J&D Machine, McAllister, R/K Racing Products, SMC, Tekin, Trinity and Voodoo Cells. Not to mention a big pile of money; $250.00 in awards each day! Smaller items were used as door prizes (And there were a bunch of those; every one went home with a handful.) and larger items were auctioned. The generosity of the racers was evident, as plenty of extra raffle tickets were sold; and the bidding was spirited for the larger items. Anything left at the end of the day will be shipped to Tim Donley for his on line raffle.

The Road Course race was held on Saturday. All the Thunder Road regulars welcomed Raymond Darroch, the newest of the JACO/SMC team drivers, to Thunder Road. Ray promptly returned our hospitality by turning his 19-Turn Touring Car Class heat races into a procession. Ray had his Corally hooked from the first few laps; and no one could touch him. Jesse Bean and Scott Gregory took turns trying, but neither one had anything to offer Ray. Steve Simmons seemed to have an edge in the opposite heat races, while Charlie Johnson (CJ) and Harold Ruckle (in a borrowed car) took turns trying to get past. By the time the qualifier dust settled, Ray had TQ with a blistering 36/5:02.52.

CJ and his T2 bested Harold Ruckle in the B Main in a close finish. Harold’s excuse for his second place was that he was afraid of bending the track owner’s FT TC4; but we all know the owner is a pussy cat, despite persist rumors of bodies buried in the nearby woods.

Jesse Bean finally recovered the handle on his T2; and he was all over Ray Darroch at the start of the A Main. Scott Gregory and Steve Simmons lurked just behind, locked in their own battle and hoping Jesse and Ray would take each other out. Ray kept his cool; and as he started inching out a lead, Jesse smacked the wall. One mistake was all Ray needed. He ran a near record pace to the end. Jesse could match Ray’s pace for a few laps; then he would slip a few tenths worth and Ray slowly eased away. Less than a lap separated the two at the flag, as Ray ran a 36/5:05.16. Scott and Steve ran a good race; with Scott (in his new IRS chassis’ed TC3) besting Steve at the end; again, by less than a lap.

Ray Darroch showed what a class act he really is by donating most of his first place money to the Sue Rickman Benefit Fund. A good day of racing for a great cause.

-----------------------------------------------------
Sunday was Oval; and the Thunder Road regulars turned out to support the cause. The racers were evenly divided between SPEC and Stock Classes. Qualifying in the SPEC Class featured a series of close races between Joel White and Steve Walker (Beach); with Harold Lam keeping them honest and Ernie Padgette trying to stay out of the way. Joel took TQ with 51/4:00.41.

The Stock Class featured some of the fastest and closest racing seen in a long time. Clayton Anderson (Big Clay) and Harold Ruckle were wheeling their Hyperdrives; with Jesse Bean in a Maverick and Steve Nelson (Seven) driving his KSG/RIP hybrid. They were locked in a struggle all night; with all four cars turning almost identical times, lap after lap. And those times were at, or near, a record pace. Any one of the four could, and in fact did, lead at any time. Jesse trailed most of the evening, but got the tweak right in the third heat; setting TQ with a 53/4:01.15.

The SPEC Main was more of the same; with Joel and Beach fighting it out for the lead and Ernie Padgette fighting an oddly slow chassis setup. Joel and Beach stayed within a second of each other right to the buzzer; with Joel leading by less than two tenths at the end.

The Stock Main featured a suddenly faster Jesse Bean; as he had tweaked his Mav right on the edge of loose and fast. He grabbed the lead at the start and ran like a thief; until he finally lost it between one and two. Seven, Harold and Big Clay all slipped past; leaving Jesse to fight his way back to the front. Jesse looked capable of doing it, but he got in too much of a hurry and bumped Harold trying to get past in turn four. That put Big Clay into a lead he held to the end, with Seven hanging on to his rear bumper and looking capable of going past at any time. Harold grabbed third and Jesse took fourth. Any one of the four could have taken this very close and competitive race.

The attendance could have been better; but the racing couldn’t have been much closer. Maybe the charitable nature of the day filtered over to the racing. Thanks; Ernie P. :cool:

I am glad to see that Ray was welcomed so well at this fine facility as it will become his second home track........his fellow racers from the Pitsburgh area will miss having Ray around but I know he will be a fine addition to the Thunder Road facility....You guys have gotten yourself one heck of a fine racer and ambassador

Any plan on having some more On-road races on Saturdays?

Last Saturday was the last for a wile; until January, anyhow. We will have a pretty big road course race in January; and it will probably be a Saturday. Most of teh road course racers seem to prefer Sundays. I hope you will join us. Thanks; Ernie P. :cool:

Plenty of action this past weekend, as people were looking for setups for the 2006 ARCOR State Championship Race on October 21st. To help those who still need setups, Thunder Road will be open for practice on Friday night, October 20th, starting at 6 PM. Details, directions, maps and more at thunderroadrc.com. Be advised some of the local boys were looking pretty sharp. Thanks; Ernie P. :cool:
