Guys, just looking to get the Mill started, it might be a little early, BUT it is just about here!!

Anyone have any comments, suggestions or just want to shoot the bull...feel free to get this thread going.

Hope to see everyone this summer, last summer was a short one, so we have alot of people want to get a full summer of racing. With the 3800's this season, we should be really quick!

Catch you later, Jim

Schedule for this summer is posted

www.Willowmill.com

We are throwing the idea of the month of August for the Custom Works race, any input, just let us know!

Thanks, Jim

Please, not the weekend of the 19th.

OK Mike, I will make sure its NOT that weekend.

Beach

Well i dont no if i will be there alot, but i sure look foward to coming there for the orl race!!!

Brandon Snyder

there isnt many dates open for august guys. ORL at TanL, plus the paved oval nats the weekend before that race. Any thoughts to maybe the labor day weekend? Its always a good turnout since its a night race?

Beach

hey whats going on with the dirt oval plans any news on that

No dirt oval at the Mill.

ALSO......looks like its a go on the Labor Day weekend for the Custom Works race. We just need to get it confirmed by the SMOKE CLAN.

OK Mike, I will make sure its NOT that weekend.

Beach

Thanks Beach, my daughter would have been really pissed if I missed her wedding.

Funny Mike!

hey Jim, it's been a while, have'nt seen ya since Kranzels about 5 years ago, gotta question, what sealer if any does George use on the track ?? i know you can run pinks and other rubber tires on the rear there, at Jack Conleys we run purples on the front, but run aquas, greens, greys, and some others on the rear, if we try rubber tires on the rear like pinks they just don't hook up, Jacks track is banked a little more than the Mill, it's paved with topcoat wearplate, it's pretty fine stuff and very smooth, so maybe that's why the pinks won't bite, not sure what sealer though, hope you don't mind me asking, thanks, Brad Whiteman.

I believe the mill puts soda down on the track to provide x-tra bite.

Beach can confirm

Hey Brad, how have you been? Eric is correct, we put down soda from a sprayer. WORKS Super well! Cheap too. We run 4 purples, or 3 purples and 2x Purple RF. Is there a website for Conleys?

Can't wait. It's been a long time since I've been to the Mill. It's gonna be alot of fun racing there again.

Eric - Are we going to see you at the Mill this year?

no web site, once we get racing i'll get some pictures up, i think Eric posted a couple pics last year, it's a really fun track, "D" shaped tri-oval, i think the race groove is about 220, racing starts the saturday after mothers day, we'll have to pull some double duty and race Jacks on saturday and the Mill on Sunday, thanks for the info, Brad.

Sounds like a nice place, and I think I did see pictures last year, and I would love to see some new faces at the Mill this year, and give us a race schedule for this year and see whats going on out there.

Later, Jim

BUMP UP, its getting warm outside, and that can only meen....its time to run on the asphalt!

I need to get this place jumpin' this year, or for sure it will be its last year, so lets see some support for George and this great place to race!

Check it out on the web at www.willowmill.com

il be there beach not alot i think mama will let me place once a month!

Dave, sounds gooooood, I think I am gonna play abit with some 19turn and MAYBE mod, if my pocket allows! LOL

I know the ORL does not have a modified class, but modified at this track is a blast. Is anyone interested in running open modified at the July 29 ORL race? I'm planning on coming down, and will one way or another, but I would really like to run mod. Let me know, later.

Mod ...huh? Jeff keep me posted when and if your'e going.

that is a huge yes vote for mod from me too

I'm deffinately going, Given I can get my hands on a new KSG by then, lol. I have been out of commission for about a month because I sold the RIP car. I will be running 19 turn if there isn't a mod turnout, but I really want to run mod. I know Mario, and the Leihrs from Akron went last year. Maybe we can get pedro to tag along, and it's been awhile since Miller came out, maybe this year he will make it too. I don't know, we'll see.

Guys, that sounds like a plan, I will run the mod idea up the flag pole and let you know what happens! (SHOULDNT BE A PROBLEM THOUGH!)
Later guys, have a great week and weekend racing, finally the outdoor season is upon us!

Beach

MOD, no problem!! Lets see if we can get a good crowd this season. If anyone cares, it will probably be the last year for the Mill if its not a good one this summer. If you havent been to the Mill yet, ask anyone who has been there, you WONT REGRET IT!

Beach

Big Bump for the Mill....

Hey Guys, if anyone is intrested, George is opening the Mill up tomorrow for a day of practice. We will be using the computer (THANKS BRAD @ THE STRAND!!!!!) and dont be suprised if you have to shovel some mulch too! LOL.

If you can make it, great, it would be a great warm up for the NEXT ORL race at Seaford.

See you guys really soon. Beach

The Mill is open this weekend even though there is an ORL race, correct? Thank...

Frank

From the look of a map, it seems this track is about 3 hours north of me. I am looking for a place to run oval. What other tracks are in the area that get a good oval crowd?

Jamie, The Mill is always fun. I thought you lived in Michigan. If you now live in MD. you might also want to check out our track in Seaford Delaware. We have a big race coming up on the 24th of this month. Its located behind the Hobby Stop store.

If you need more info let me know.
302-399-6777 or pm me.

I just moved here less than a week ago. Work brought me out this way. I found a place to run sedans 5 minutes from my place, but am looking for some oval. I figure Seaford is 3 hours or so from me. I am going to make that trip at some point. Is there a webpage for that track?

Jamie, howdy neighbor! You should be just about an hour and a half for here. Are you near the Colliseum?

Hope you can make it out Jamie, its a great place to race. (Seaford too)

Hope to see you there soon. The big class is stock,,actually we dont have a lot of racers there on a weekly basis but try the Seaford thread to see whats going on before you come over. The schedule alternates and would hate to see you come over and find out its the wrong day. The Mill is always fun and closer from what Jim said. See you soon

Jamie, throw your classic setup on, but put some red springs on all the way around and you will be dead nuts on. Watch out boys, if Jamie makes it, he is always fast at Classic. He pushed me across the line 2 years ago at the Fall Classic, 42 laps !!!

Can i get a confirmation that the Mill is open on Sunday? I just wanted to make sure because there is an ORL race and we would hete to drive an hour and a half and it be closed. Thanks...

Frank, George will be open this sunday. Any questions, let me know and I can give you Georges number.

Beach

We had a great time on yesterday. Hopefully we have some trucks show up this weekend...

hey guys, could someone fill me in on the runline? also, what time does the track open? there's a pile of people coming down july 9th for some 4 cell spec, touring car, and 4 cell stock. can't wait to try out the track. thanks guys

Cory

Jamie, howdy neighbor! You should be just about an hour and a half for here. Are you near the Colliseum?

Hope you can make it out Jamie, its a great place to race. (Seaford too)

Beach

I am 5 minutes from the Colliseum. I just did a map quest and you are right. It states about 1h 25m. That works great for me. I will be in Seaford for the state race on the 24th, but plan on being here for the firecracker race. What do I need to bring? Power, extension cord, chairs, table?

Jamie,

Extension cords, table, chairs, If you have a generator take it, might not be a bad idea.

Let's pack the Mill Boys George said it too easy for him right now!!!!

Cory

Cory, four purples, and the track drive line is around 270 give or take, I think we use 268 in our dyno.

Track opens at 9 am. for the Firecracker race July 1st. racing starts at 3ish
On the 9th, track opens at 9 and racing at 12:30.

Thanks,
Beach

Jamie, awesome, glad to have you here, you will be amazed at the tight racing here! Atmosphere is second to none either.

Bring extension cord, light, table and chair, EZ up if you have it, and if not, we can hook you up under ours by the trailer. If you get under ours, table and chair would be all you need.

Any questions, shoot me a pm or ask here, I will help you anyway you need!

Later, Beach

thanks beach. see you on the 9th.

bug spray ! no ones saying BUG SPRAY ! must have the spray!

lmao! i'll make sure i have some.

Well guys, here it goes, another track to the wayside.

It was a tough decision for George to make, but due to poor turnout, the Mill will be closed sunday after the Seaford race. We will be open July 1st. We will reopen July 23rd, and be open for the ORL race July 29th.

As a result of poor turnouts we will be closed from July 30th until the Sept. 3rd race.

I do hope that we can get a fairly large turnout for George's Sept. night race because that will be the LAST RACE at Willow Mill Speedway. George has made it through some tough years but the last several have been horrible for racer support.

If anything changes we will let everyone know.

Thanks to all that have been there over the years and we will look forward to racing with you guys at various tracks around the states.
