Looks very cool, but them inside and outside walls look vicious.. Foam tires?? or caps??..

we are still figuring that out, both right now.

Nice looking track! Have you tried BSR caps pink compound ?
Are those concrete curb walls?

Hey guys raced with you at Sandhills this weekend in stock class (purple 70). Fantastic looking track, respect those walls (and the number 12 car, just kidding), wow? Do you have AC?

hey dwight, nice to hear from you! yes we got power and an onsite hobby shop. let me know when you want to come down. was anything bad wrong with your car? hope not. im the guy with the green car. ill be back your way in 3 weeks.

yes on the concrete and yes on the pink bsr's

thanks
john

I haven't had a chance to look it over good yet, but I'm pretty sure it was the motor. Have you guys chosen a organization yet, I'm sure with time your track will be one they will eat up with national race dates. One more question do you have a timing system w/ transponders?

no org yet, but we have ambrc and the track has transponders if you dont.

The walls look bad but there not. We don't break alot of stuff at all. Pink caps hook really well. Even blues & greens. :thumbsup: ..Oh I'm the yellow car..lol

sup dean. nice to see you found the thread. let everybody know.

later

Come on down and run with us. You love it!

I'm sure I would, however I've never ran asphalt and any possible set up tips would help a ton.

do you think brian would consider putting plexiglass around the walls through the turns, maybe 4 inches tall so the wall don't grab the tires? other than that track is fun to drive

Brady Red 21 at sandhills now 22

i doubt it, hes pretty stuck on keeping the wall the same.

.............

Gret looking track.. ONly concern isee is the inside wall.....

Just a hint don't let foams run on the track if you plan to run caps... or just go all foams.. foam dust will not let cars get hooked up to well on caps.... cause alot of problems....

Nice track.. only 45 mins form me...

BIlly

ive been running foams with good results and the cap guys are inconsistant... but... there has been a problem with the track. when the guy put the lines down they lifted and screwed up the surface. the owner has had them sandblasted off and when the weather gets right a tennis court company is gonna lay tennis court material. ive felt the samples and it is like concrete. when that comes along there wont be anymore foam tires.

john

Yeah thats the normal thing you find whe caps and foams run the same track.. caps have a hard time hookinh up due to the foam dust.....

BSR does make a great cap tire for touring as well. so if you have any touring guys wanting to run let them know about them....

BIlly

..................

this guy is very unfair he told some guys they could run an open mod class and after one guy spent about 300 he said they could not run the class.i know of 5 people quit racing their,because of his rules,and i hope their will be more to leave.then he might listen to what the racers want.

hoping for somebody else to fail is bad karma...

john

i dont wish any one bad luck,i have enough of that for all of us.LOL.i just wish brian would be more for what other people wanted.if he would pick a set of rules it would let other racers from out of town come and run.john will you be their this weekend,and when will you be going back to nc.

ill be there sunday, ill be back in nc in a week or two. gettin ready for the carpet nats!

......

nevermind

brady, you dont need to tell me... you need to tell brian this. but i do agree!

john

I have a trailer is there a place for me to hook up if I come down?
Thank you
Brooks

as long as you got a cord! hey brooks... i need a setup for 5800 brushless at sandhills, can you help me out.

thanks
john

..........

I noticed you guys run Touring Oval, but with Touring Bodies and 3300's? Can we run a Touring Oval chassis, BSR caps, and a NASCAR body? Here are a few pics of my JRX-SO:

check out the website and call the owner, brian. im sure he would be happy to let you run.

thanks
john

TORNADO brian is hard to deal with,but please let us know what he said.good luck with him.and yes brady i wont be back till he changes.i would rather go 70 miles in the other direction to sandhills in nc.at least up their you dont have all the crazy rules.

Well i'll just wait and go to Sandhills. In a few weeks they will be going flat so I'll push the Touring Oval class there.

...............

There are already a few that will be running Touring Oval. The rules for the Touring Oval class here are just pre-historic! lol 3300's..............

..........

Mike and I are pretty tight. I will have a spare car for anyone who would like to try out the class. One week Mike may run it, then maybe Brooks, or even a local that just wants to race in the class.

Thanks for the input about Sandhills, but Mike has already said to bring them so we can get a class started.

brady, you shouldnt flame the track or the owner. everybody has different results. tornado... please contact the track they may make some concessions for your business.

I think that I will be up there on the 19th to play around with you guys.

the truth is always welcome john

I race there every week. I think Brain is is great! His is tring to keep the cost of racing down. Yes the walls are hard, but if you can drive you should'nt hit them 15 times in 5min. I don't brake much at all! Other drivers seem to love killing my crap thou...lol

Tornado
We need to talk. dude that is the badest 4wheel drive I've ever seen! Brooks told me it was bad but my God!
I just bought a BMI offset car from Brooks it may have be your old car.lol You sould come check us out one week I can line up something to get you some good packs to use. Dean

I know several ..self included that want to come run at the track.... But rumors persist that any class other than what is already running there isn't welcome.....i hope that isn't true.. i know of at least 8 open 19trn cars that want to come and run...

This track is closer to me than Sandhills.. so i would realy like to have some open 19trn races there...(ROAR rules).

Billy

Brian is a open guy! If you don't trust me this is his number 843-393-3333. tell him you have some open 19's that want to race. We would love to have ya Billy! :thumbsup:
There were a few guys wanting to run open mod split a class of 8 cars up. The class was to small to start a new class so soon. All Brian said was for us to wait until there were more guys in our class to split so soon.

I am sure that if 8 to 10 of us showed up to run there they wouldn't turn our money away! LOL

Brooks you can't come!...lol j/k :thumbsup:

Well I will just play in the street with my toys then! LOL

i want to play in the street with tornados car!!!

Uh no.................You can purchase your own. I have LTO Graphite chassis kits and complete set ups!
