i sure hope dean and brooks are doing better at the race than we did in the catfish tournament today.....lol

I think myself and Chris that was driving Brooks truck would have been 1 & 2 if we could have got the race in. Man that was so much fun! They are going to make it up July 29th. They are having the second part of the state race in Fox Mountain June 17th. You guys need to check these out.

:thumbsup:in a way im glad it got rained out, now i can make the race

How close are you guys to getting your trucks running?

about 2 months... lol

If all goes well... should be ready for some running SUNDAY...... :-)

Where are you guys getting your truck bodies and what manufactured?

they have them at the hobbyshop on site at the track, they are mcallister

Can we order online or give a call?

i'm sure you can, the number to the hobby shop is 843-393-3333, or check them out at www.banditshobbies.com

,am i tell you what dean.. that ashville track is a tough track. get some nitro touring cars down there and ill be in. lol.. had a great time up there this weekend sure wish it wouldnt have rained our trucks were both fast. wish harold wouldnt have wrecked me id like to have seen what i could have ran.. i dont know if we will be able to make the race on the 29th i think brooks has wedding commitment that weekend.. we'll see you soon
chris

I'm working on putting a truck together to come down and play. I stopped by during the Nextel race to look at the track and I can't wait to mix it up with you guys.

dtart20
Come on down it will be fun! We would love to have ya!
Chris
If Brooks can't make it tell him to give you the truck for the weekend...lol

Only Thing With That Is I Have To Stay At His House When I Go.. Lol He Wont Be Around.. We'll See Wht Happens.

Let me know. If someone from our track doesnt bring a trailer I will bring a big tent.

i'll take my trailer if we can get a truck big enough to pull it that far :thumbsup:

We need to get Bryan to go race trucks up there with us. He would love it!

bryan is too hardheaded to go anywhere... if we tried to help him set it up he would just act like we didnt know anything. i hope he races trucks at his track... that way he will have to ask to go fast, i dont think he can do it on his own.

last time i was there he had a truck almost built

Come on John be nice! If it wasnt for Bryan we would have never met or be raceing.

dean, are you going to both parts of the nc state race?

Yes I will be there. June & July.

Brady I will run the stuff you need out to Bryans after work Wed. If you want give me a call on my cell and we will met.

i'll call you when i get off work, i got alot going on right now, didn't get off last night til 8:30

i usually am nice, but when you make obvious set up suggestions and somebody acts like a know it all you have to be an a$$

This is the State race info if you guy want it.

To bad we got rained on the other day!

It looks like we will have 6 to 7 trucks for sure Sunday. Thats with Brady not being there. I thinks he's going to be racing in NY this weekend.

I'm going to NY, but I'll be racing in PA I'm leaving 5 am sunday morning, so i will be racing in PA next saturday
I'll be racing up I-81 this sunday :thumbsup:

So what classes is everybody gonna run Sunday? I'm not too keen on running 8.0 with the TC as the Spec Trucks will be faster. I may skip this Sunday if there is not a regular TC class.

who all is running spec truck?

what does everyone think about contacting arcor to see if they will let the track hold an arcor sanctioned race? i accidently found some contact info while looking up the nc state race, arcororg@aol.com or (423) 345-3747

the track owner dosent want to have anything to do with arcor. convince bryan first, i tried,,, but as i said...

spec truck is arcor, what if everyone with a membership that would want a race of this kind stood up and said something? we did buy memberships to have a "Voice"

sorry brady, im not gonna say anything so i dont hurt anybodys feelings... never hurt any feelings at the drag strip. let me stop, got to be all p.c. here. i always thought racers were a trash talking bunch, wait we can only do that in private (input sarcasam here)

john.. just be like me .... HATE everybody, then you don't have to worry about anybody feelings getting hurt. ;) Then they will come to expect it from you :dude:

hate is bad karma.

don't nobody have to worry about hurting my feelings, i dont care what nobody says

dean, i'm supposed to be going over to hilltop to practice tomorrow up here in PA, i'll be calling you for some info

Sounds good Brady!
