The Southern 500 Nationals will be held @ Echeconnee Superspeedway (http://www.echeconneesuperspeedway.tk) in Macon GA May 26th-28th. Rules, race schedule and entry fees will be up on the site by the end of this week

OK, the rules for the dirt oval are posted on the web page

Cliff, Can't get the web site to load. Are you going to have an electric latemodel class for the dirt oval and what motor? I am planning on running brushless on the concrete oval.


Mike Seymour

Yes there will be an electric late model class (touring cars) you can run 5800 brushless or down to a 10 turn brushed motor both with 6 cells no more than 3800 mah

Sounds good. Looking forward to racing with yall again!


Mike

Likewise, you running on the pavement too?

Yes, I am running the concrete too. I am going to run 4300 brushless in the pancar.

it's gonna be a BIG class

How should I gear a 4300 for your track?

I saw the Dirt Oval track today. The pictures on the site do not do it justice. Its BIG, its WIDE and its BANKED. Cliff is working on putting a top layer of red clay on it. What I saw today looked good for the base. This track will handle all the horsepower you can put to it.

We are going to have a gooood time in the dirt this summer!!!!
Did I say it was BIG

keep it up Cliff http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon10.gif

Mike for the paved oval, I am using a 2.82:1 for the dirt, well that's anybodys guess:rolleyes: It's Virgin Territory, ,lolHow should I gear a 4300 for your track?

Hey Cliff, trying to get ready to run some Late Model on the dirt for the 500. Will the dirt races be Friday night & finish up on Saturday night and the Paved races finishing up late Sunday afternoon. I had heard that is what you might do and I think it would be a great idea so guys racing dirt wouldn't be left with trying to drive home at 3:00 am on Morning.

Looking at your schedule page will the dirt oval open up for practice at 5:00pm +/- each day of practice & the race days?

Thanks

BT

Bruce it is a long weekend and most have Monday off, if we finish up dirt Saturday night people will still be driving home @ 3 am. Starting friday might put some working folks in a bind for practice or getting there @ all. I still have seen no pre entries except 1 and they are happy with the schedule as is. I have the schedules and classes posted as is and am willing to try to please as many racers as possible by trying to be dynamic in my scheduling according to pre entries. Once the 15th of May arrives the schedule is pretty much adjusted and set in stone according to pre entries.

Hey no problem, just thought it sounded good to get guys who were running dirt out of there at an earlier time so they could do some family stuff on Monday. For sure if you were racing dirt on Saturday till 3:00am you would crash in the motel before pulling out. I'm only 2 1/2 hours away so it's a quick drive for me.

Plus I am always wired up after a big win and especially if I'm putting old man Kellum in the infield as I take the checkered flag!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Old Man Kellom, lol Now that's funny. It's funny though, he says the same thing about you:DHey no problem, just thought it sounded good to get guys who were running dirt out of there at an earlier time so they could do some family stuff on Monday.

And you should see a couple more "seasoned" veterans I'm trying to get to come with me to go after the Kellum Machine.

Thanks for the PayPal option on the entry fees. My entry was PayPal'ed a couple of days ago. Looking forward to doing some dirt racin!

Bt

Hey Cliff, is the dirt oval track going to be open any weekends this month for a little practice? Organized race or just open practice doesn't matter.

(Kellum will be paying my practice fee of course.)

Bt

If I know a group is coming, I will make sure it is groomed for practice, it's gonna be tough keeping it moist during the day though, we will do our best!

Nitro Late Model will remain .12-.18 small block legal

I was thinking late afternoon/evening for sure. Kinda match what you were racing at the 500, but not the anticipated 2:00am finish time. Ol Kellum would be passed out in the pits sawing logs by that time.

Bt

OK, well just let me know and we will accomadate the best we can, thanksI was thinking late afternoon/evening for sure. Kinda match what you were racing at the 500, but not the anticipated 2:00am finish time. Ol Kellum would be passed out in the pits sawing logs by that time.

Hey Cliff I can't wait for the race. I just broke the track record for the street infront of my house 3 times today with my TC3 Late Model !!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO DIRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

lol, Glad to hear it Bruce! Try not to get it run over before the 500!

Who is racing dirt this weekend ????
