Freddie's is going to do On-Road.

After having what I consider a lot of people in the last few week come into my store and ask about road course racing I have decided to start racing road course on Saturday's.

Starting this Saturday 1-13-07, we will devote the day to road course. If two people show, we will race two. We will run the same schedule as we do normally. Doors will open at 9:00 and racing starts at noon.

For those who have not been to our facility we try to carry all of your racing needs. As racers show up we will start putting in more things to fit the road course crowd. Freddie's is a place that is here to stay and will be here long after you stop racing. Come see why so many oval guys come to Freddie's and start bring your road racing here.

Any questions you can call the store or drop us an e-mail. Hope to see you on Saturday's

Just in time...

yeah I agree I took it as a sarcastic remark at first, but then I figured it wasn't. Who knows what he meant by it. :confused:

Who knows what he meant by it. :confused:
I meant that it will be a nice alternative to driving to CEFX or Beaver on a weekly basis.

Gotcha :thumbsup:

This Saturday we will see. "One must walk before you run" < I read that in a fortune cookie once :)

Freddie - Is it the road course on carpet or asphalt? Do you have any pictures to post?

Its on Ozite, WE use the road rail system whish I know some maya not be fond of. We can always change that. but the track is pool table smooth and it 71 by 28 wide makes for a nice techinal course.

Freddie,

Is this the newer version of the CRC Fasttrack?

ITs CRC ozite the road rail system I think is cool. I need to get some more dots.

Is this the newer version of the CRC Fasttrack?
It is.

What exactly is the "road rail system"? Just curious.

chuck

You know if you want to race road course just come. :o

Unbeleivable bring your car and WANT to have a good time and dont sweat the small stuff. :rolleyes:

Chuck,

It's a system that can be changed real quick. Plastic straight parts connected with round dots. Allows you to move and change quickly. Won't break cars when you hit it. You can probably find pictures on the web.

I will put a picture up of this Saturday's track and layout Thursday

Freddie,
Didn't mean to piss you off. Just asking a question. Always heard good things about your track. Sorry. Just wondering though, why the switch from sun to sat. We could have two places to race on a weekend. Looking forward to coming over to race and have some fun.

chuck

I really am not switching from Sunday to Saturday. After our championship race in 2006 the road course just dried up, guys stopped coming. Now I have heard there are tracks that don't know what there doing, tracks that don't support their racers with parts, time etc. I have a good oval program up and running on Sundays, I would of continued to run the road with the oval, but like I said it dried up. I thought maybe devoting a day to nothing but road course those guys could come and have their own day to themselves. The track would stay road all day there would be no hurrying, just a relaxing day of racing. Not to mention a hobby store that supports the racers in having what they need right there.

Lord knows I am open to race every Saturday and Sunday. There will be no skipping a week, on twice a month, or no Saturday this week Friday night that week, just a structured place to race is what I offer. I feel it will do just fine.

People have voiced their opinion they didn't like the road rail system, It was safer for the cars but then those guys who can't drive go right up and over and hit a guy coming from the other direction, problem. Any way you do something there will be good points and bad points we can taylor it with a good group of road guys once we get a solid base. Its not like I dont have the experierence.

sounds fun ill be out on the off weeks at the gate

What are the starting times on sats?

chuck

Doors open at 9, racing starts at noon, once we get a core group of guys we can talk about alternatives

Jim Herrmann is going down tomorrow.

Oh really , So I have people coming to race then tomarrow this will be a good thing I will get a picture of the track and layout for tomarrow in a little bit

This months course :thumbsup:

Booyah!

that looks good

No what would look good is to have a few heats of 6 cars at least running around it tomarrow :thumbsup: < that would be good !

Freddie,
How did it go Saturday?

yyea how did it go

I didnt expect tons of people I got a few, That you must walk before you run thing is in play. Like I said before the road course will be set up every Saturday. All are welcome. WE will ahve fun thats for sure. :thumbsup:

As predicted, Herrmann went down hard. That's how it went. He did finish a distant second, though.

He did finish a distant second, though.

Assuming you finished 9th, who won? :roll: :jest:

Ha! That's awesome. However, my claim on 9th is only for National events. I can be a legitimate contender to win club races.

What are people running on Sat? 12th, touring, BRP? I know this Sat the gate is open so not sure how many will be at Freddies....

Well last wekend wasn't very big but like I said each and every Saturday we wil set up the road course and make a a road course day. I do know the gate is open but then so ? I think I have a bit more to offer than they do.

I stopped in at Freddies yesterday, and I must say I was impressed. So much so that I would like to give a shot at racing there on saturdays. I'm just getting started with 1/12 scale and I really enjoy it. Freddie has been gracious enough to devote Saturday to road racing, and I think it's up to us to take advantage of a golden opportunity. That's why we are trying to get some guys together for Feb. 24 , and see if we can start a solid following. I know that there are some guys out there that have pan cars lying around collecting dust, how about putting together and coming out to have some fun. No stress, just come out and have a good time and hopefully make some new friends. Also thanks to Freddie for taking time answer our questions.

I find it funny a bunch of guys keep going to a place whre they dont even want to be there ? :confused: Strange if you ask me. On the 24 we will be here and we will ahve the parts on the wall if you brake. Imagine that ! :thumbsup:

hey freddie you gonna keep runnin road course on saturdays????

yes I am, with the exception of this coming saturday the 17th. My better half has us going on a mini vacation for three days. I have a few people wanting to race on the 24 when we will resume Saturday Road course days :thumbsup: All for you guys! !!

ok thanks freddie some other track has a little to much drama going on so you will prob get a surge here pretty soon !!! have a nice mini vk... :thumbsup:

Hope to see you all on the 24th :thumbsup:

Freddie,

I'm looking foward to racing at your track. Not sure if I will make it the following weekend, but I'm sure I will get there soon.

What it the pit situation like?

Pete

Pit situation ? I have been told my pits are Really really! great!! :thumbsup: ( I dont get out of my hole that offten so I dont know first hand)
There is nothing back yardish here. Pleaty of room right next to the track. I can seat 70 guys comfortably. Just come and enjoy a nice day of racing. I think we can get a nice group of core guys, and get a nice road course program going.

Thanks,

Sounds great . . . :)

Pete

Hey did I mention that we have a very nice Warm / cozy track / pit area / Stock Hobby store ? :thumbsup:

Ok honest when it was 8 outside the otehr day it took its time warming up. Nut normally its 60 plus all day :cool:

And a dedicated day to just road course :thumbsup:

Just though I would add that, in case there are those who haven't been here, Plus me just being a smart A$$ :tongue:

ok this Saturday is Road racing. Maybe we can get these two guys from over there, and those 4 from over there, and I can add a few, We could just have a nice day of Road racing. :thumbsup:

Doors open at 8 and racing starts at noon See you all this Saturday :wave:

As of right now two of us plan on being there to race on Sat. if anybody else would like to come out and race 1/12 with us in a more relaxed atmosphere to get some driving time on a different track come on out. Post here if you can make it. Just curious how many will be there.

Paint is drying!

Please give directions coming from the cleveland area or from the Gate.Thanks

Please give directions coming from the cleveland area or from the Gate.Thanks

Just on 480 heading east, when you get to Streetsboro it turns into Route 14. Go straight. Take Rt. 14 until you get to Chestnut Street Rt 44 make a right.

Take Chestnut street into town, Go across main st. and at the second stop sign make a right.
Go through two stops signs and its on the right about 300 feet.

There is a short cut but its easier going back home that way and once you do it you will know the shorter way of getting here then. Its not well marked coming from Cleveland . Any questions just call

Thanks for asking and see you Saturday :wave:

Thanks for the directions.

Your welcome, hope to meet you this Saturday :thumbsup:

Just a reminder Doors open at 8 and racing starts at noon, see you tomarrow :thumbsup:
