Hey everyone I just wanted to start a new thread for Trax70 Superspeedway. The 2006 season is about to begin. They are having a FREE race April 23rd.

The driveline on this concrete high bank tri-oval is 385'. For more info about the track go to www.trax70.com

I am also trying to get the 12th scale class going this year. Cap tires are available for 12th scale cars this year. You can get a set from www.rc4less.com for $54.00. BSR will be releasing there new line of caps for 12th scale this month. There website is www.bsr-racing.com

Hope to see everyone on caps this year. :thumbsup:

Marty

Marty,
Can't wait. It's going to be really nice. Last week, a few guys were running some practice laps. The track looks good. I also heard a rumor that there might be practice on Friday night, but that's not confirmed(need to ask Charlie). See you on the 23rd.

Chuck

You guys are killing me. I can't make the 23rd. This is a fast fun track to drive and race at. All I can ask is to keep the Paul Heitz race clear of 7/21 - 8/12. Two TQ's and no win.

Walter

What day are the races, Sat or Sunday. Would be great to know so people can plan there racing for the summer.

Looking foward to this year at Trax70. What classes are people running.
19t and what else .........................................stock ..........a little slow for this kind of track.....
How about some 12th scale 19t .......................... JM

the races are on sundays

I'll be running stock this year.

Chuck

if rumor contol is correct, practice runs this Friday 04-21-06 :thumbsup:

Abdule is correct, On Friday, I should be at the track by 12 noon and I'll be there until about 5 or so. So if you want to get some practice in before Sunday, Friday is the day!:D Don't forget Sunday is a FREE raceday. So come on out and have some fun!:thumbsup:

Also, the classes for this year are...
4 Cell Stock
4 Cell 19t 12th Scale
4 Cell 19T 10th Scale (an Outsider6 favorite)
6 Cell Stock Touring.....aka... IROC

19t guys.....to get the intrest up for 19t racing this year, for the beginning of the season we will allow either the C2 or the Ultrabird for weekly club racing in 10th and 12th scale.

Also, on another note. There is an interest in a truck class for this year. If we can get enough racers on a weekly basis to support a seperate class I will add it in, if not and you still want to "race the truck" lol, then I will just add the trucks and cars together.

Why don't we just make it any Roar and Arcor leagal 19T?

At least for 10th scale.

I was just over at the track. It looks good. George let me run his car 'cause I was too lazy to work on my car this week. Hope to see a good crowd on sunday, should be real fun.

Chuck

For 19 turn I would like to see the motor rule as any Roar, Arcor legal 19 turn. ( D5 can, tagged or marked arm and stand up brushes ) I would allow the C2 motor because that is the ORL motor for this year. When you start to narrow the motor rules to two motors like the ultrabird and the c2 we may not get a good showing for 19 turn class. I know I have some motors that are Roar, Arcor legal and are brand new in the box never run because other tracks went with the ultrabird as the track motor. The people that run 19 turn already have Roar, Arcor legal motors and may not have ultrabirds or C2's. It doesn't matter to me either way, I have the motors from The Birds that are awesome. If the problem is teching the motors, anyone of us 19 turn people can help out with that.

Alright that's enough out of me about the motors!

So who is all showing on Sunday and what time are we starting?

Marty

hey Marty do you think the weather will hold out, i was thinking about coming down if not this week hopefully next! do you have any tires i can try? thanks

Hello all I wont be down for another week, trying to get some things done around here. Mark i have some tires if you want to try and race with us. LMK..........
As far as 19t goes we should be allowed to race what we have for now, either ultra bird,c2,Roar,Arcor, in the original configuration, no mix and match can and endbell or arms.
Just my penny for now..................................JM

As far as 19t goes, bring out whatever you guys have. We'll work it out. I just want to see the 19t class do well this year. As for tomorrow's weather, it should be cleared out by noon so as of right now we're still a go, even if it's just a practice day it's free. I'll post more info later.:thumbsup:

Mark,
Looks like the weather is going to clear up mid-morning tomorrow, with scattered t-storms rolling in around 6:00pm. That should be clear enough. C'mon down. Bring dirk with you. lol.

Chuck

Charlie,
Are there enough tires for people to buy if they need them?

Chuck

Marty,
I bet you'll help teching. This coming from the guy who gave "Special Thanks" to Mookie the tech guy in his A-Main sponsor sheet at the 'birds. I'll let everyone else make their own judgements :) I'll be there tomorrow.

Chuck

Weather man says it should be clear by noon so tomorrow is a go!! See everybody in the AM.

Chuck, I think the only ones we're out of are narrow green LR's.

Cool. So, noon tomorrow, or earlier?

Chuck

its almost time
wake up brock!!!! :wave:

Charlie,
I'm assuming there's no food or drink on site.

Chuck

No but there is either Family Pizza or Sopranos Pizza. Either place is good, and I think we still have menus.

howd it go sunday? get any practice in before the rain? whats the compounds i should be looking to get for the concrete, been a long time since ive run caps!

Hot laps on the concrete were awesome. We all got about 5 or 6 runs in. The track was a little cold so it took a few laps to really get up to speed. I ran the tires from last year, green left sides, blue rr and a gold rf ( BSR caps ) they worked very well after the sun came out with 70 plus degrees. I would have liked to see some lap times, but the computer was not hooked up.

Chuck thats funny right there! It's always a good idea to make friends with the tech inspectors! Mookie is the man!

Great to see everyone that showed, stuck it out for a good day.

See yah hopefully next week,

Marty

It was hella-fun:) I think the car needs a little something. Maybe jack up the car and put in a new driver:) I was also running Green left sides , but I was also running blues on the right side. Marty, is the gold softer or harder than the blue? I have a lot to learn.

What time did you guys end up taking off? Looks like the day turned out pretty well.

Chuck

The gold is harder then the blue. We left about an hour after you left.

What springs did you have in the front and in the rear of the car?

Marty

I'm assuming there will be racing this Sunday????

Walter

i was using green left side and blue right side tires

Hello...............anyone out there. I'm assuming there is racing this week???? What's the schedule going to be for weekly racing and what about the Paul Heitz race have you figured out a date yet?

Walter

Yes, We're racing this Sunday, start time is 12 noon and the weather looks great. It should be about 70 and not a cloud in the sky.:thumbsup:

Walter, the racing will be every Sunday. This season we're running the oval and offroad track on the same day. The Paul Heitz Memorial race will be on August 12th this year with the rain date being the 13th. For this race and the other big races, the offroad track will not be open.

See everyone on Sunday!!

oh not good that is the same weekend as the roar paved oval nats and i have a wedding that im in that weekend. oh well i guess thats the breaks

Charlie,
Racing starts at noon. What time does the track open?

Chuck

Track opens at dawn!!!:thumbsup: Yes, DAWN..... lol:p

Hello gang, I'll be down early in the morning, be ready to rumble 19t. Charlie what time are you showing up? Will you have the Jlap system in practice mode until say 11:20 , will give us a chance to figure a few things out at the beginning of the season.

I just wanted to thank everyone that came out today. And thanks for hanging in there with the delay. In 4-cell stock Steve Nye takes the win in the A-main, George Mease getting the win in the B-main, and Marshall Brown gets the win in the C-main, and George Moreira put the smack down in 19t getting the "W". The second decoder box along with 10 new house transponders will be in for next week so we'll be good to go:thumbsup: I also want to say thanks to George White for the help today as well. See ya trackside.

Also, on a side note, today saw some personal bests by Bill "RIP" Osborn, Jeff Zacher and George Mease ran a fast 32 laps in every qualifier plus the main. This looks to be an awesome season shaping up on the "WHITE MONSTER". I will have the results up soon.

i had a blast and was finally fast.lol i wish i would ahve gotten that 34 lapper in the 3rd round.ohh well next week is not that far away.

34 Ozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy, repeat after me 34, thanks for your help. yes it was a good day,except for the wind,the sand and trying to run races at two tracks alternating back and fourth. The track is awesome fast and when the car is hooked up, it's a blast :thumbsup:

thats what i said.lmao

As you know this season we are running the offroad and oval on the same day. This weekend was the first time we attempted this and for the most part it went well, a few delays but no major mishaps. Yesterday Patrick attempted to order another decoder box (lap counting thingy) but AMB is on backorder for this item. He went and placed us on a waiting list in which when it comes in it will just be shipped with no futher delays. I'm not sure when it will be here but hopefully soon. In the mean time, we will continue to do our best with getting the most out of our race day without delays. I have a few ideas in which to speed up the process that I will discuss with the Joe, Jeff and the rest of the offroad guys asap. Thanks for bearing with us during this little speed bump, and I'll see ya at the track.http://techtalk.teamtrinity.com/tt/images/smilies/smile.gif

If you have any questions just give me an email Charlie@Trax70.com

Suggestion number 1. Race offroad on Saturday...................... Suggestion number 2 stop letting the races take all the time they want between heats. Suggestion number 3. Race offroad on Saturday.

Walter

Also set a race day format and stick to it as far as the time goes. Try to annouce it more than one. Maybe even post the race schedule and times at the track so people can see it in case they don't hear it. Great place to race just need to nail the small things down to make it better for everyone.

suggestion #4 MAKE OFFRAOD SAT!!! LOL had a blast though

guys,
all they need is another transponder box and the show will move along.
they seem to have a good system down for the ones without DSM

keep up the good work charlie
cya soon

alan

Alan, I agree that would help save time. And Charlie does do a good job at running the races. By no means was I knocking him.

On a side note who's going this weekend? Weather should be better this weekend than last.

Walter

great...more sun...lol

Chuck

don't worry guys, things will work out...especially once the new decoder box and transponders show...with more and more people on DSM we could easily run both programs at the same time. problem always has been that the best day for both tracks is sunday... I will be there this sunday to help charlie run things and play the go between guy for both tracks to help move the show along as smoothly as possible.

The rip trailer should be back.

The resultz are posted from Sunday, just go to www.trax70.com (http://www.trax70.com/) and click race results. Racing again this Sunday, offroad heats start at 11:00 and oval starts at 12 noon. See ya trackside

See you guys Sunday, weather should be awesome. Who's coming?

Walter
