It's time to start making your plans for one of the best trophy races of the year the 5th annual Jeff Sears Memorial race March 10th at Lake City R/C Speedway

Dan Dubuque

Rusty NutZ

John

This is definately the race to attend. The past has shown that this race has always been a success! Great ambiance and close competition... can't be beat!

Can't wait.....DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!!!

Antonio

(PS - I will wait a couple of weeks before making my predictions! But, I know that the pro-Sportsman will be the toughest to predict!???)

Count Me In!!!!
Count Me In!!!!

1:10 Stock
1:12 Stock

for me

I might have to think about this one. Not likely. This is the best short track race in the northeast. 90 foot race groove. Last year the A main was all within a lap of each other. I can't wait.
Put me in for Kascar and maybe 12th if I can get a ride by then.

LAter,
Fireball

Tony brother your right this year predictions are going to be harder than ever,especially the pro sportsman,some of the best racers in the northeast will be here,so if your not here you will be missing what everyone will be talking about.doors open at 7am racing starts at 1:00 sharp,we will be open friday for practice.if you haven't been here before we do have a full stock hobby shop (C&N hobbies)and some of the best track food there is.(Dee's Pitstop) Plenty of parking,and hotels and shopping malls close by.


Dan Dubuque
MIGHTY MIDGET

Kenny - you will have a ride. Even if I have to sponsor one for you ;)

thanks MP.

Dan, there is a rumor that Andre (yes, Mr. Excitment himself!) may come out of retirement to race SK modified. Stay tuned for more as this story develops. ...

back to you Dan,

Antonio

Tony,what we need to do is get Mr Danny Flag out of retirement for the JSMR,he would have a blast in a SK modified or 12th scale.now back to tony in the booth.


Dan Dubuque

Count me in, I would not miss this race for the world!!!! Hey Dan does the Hobby shop have a good selection of paint? I need to get some. I am hoping with in the next month to make it down to get some practice in so watch out.:drunk: !!! I just have to find out when Jr is going again...

Justina Sears

heck maybe I should come out of retirement!!!!

LOL!!!!

Justina,Neil does carry a good assortment of paint in the hobby shop,can't wait to see you again,i can't believe we are already on the 5th JSMR,time sure does fly.
Fastal we would love to see you get back into racing,the hobby just isn't the same without you racing,so get some stuff and come on back.
NEWSFLASH..................it as been confirmed last night that the return of one of the best wheels will be returning and racing the JSMR.Erica Pelkowski will be teaming up with her husband Dave and driving my car in the sportsman pro class,she plans on practicing this week.

Dan Dubuque

Track was super fast last night, I predict 90 in pro sportsman! Maybe 94 in pro 4-cell , or a very fast 93! Its going to be a good time no matter what.... Whoops 92-or 93 in 1/12th scale!

Psycho AlieNs.....

Ya never know Midget man I might just come up and watch. You gotta send me directions, the old ones prolly wont get me to the place anymore, and them cows I navigated by before are prolly long gone:D!

count me in for this one, the pro sportsman class will be a good race lets just hope the darksides can pull something out and one of us can win :).
Scott Mere

Fastal,yes those cows have long been BIG MACS, our track is easier to find then when you were last here,I87 exit 38N turn right at traffic light rt22 north we are 3/4 of a mile on the left.

Dan Dubuque

Wow, It has been a long time since I have raced against Erica. I better get some practice time in. It should be fun. Yeah Dan time does fly.

Justina

Jon Heard

nice avatar jon go Darkside

was wondering if the 1/18th scale BRP's Can race with the mini's. if there to fast, i can detune, by changing pinion. what are rules and reg's?

Dan, put me down for 1/12 scale and SK Modified.

Antonio

cout me in,Dan,SK Modefied (.)(.)

Oh no! open wheel door-to-door with Andre. Now, that's exciting!

Hey Mike Gordon, If you come down, you gotta bring your SK.


Antonio

Tony i never thought of Andre and open wheel,should we make the spectators wear helmets and padding?he is MR EXCITEMENT

Dan Dubuque

Dan, you are right! Andre and Open wheel is not a very good combination. It's kinda like me and marriage!

Tony

Hey Midget if I came up and flew inside the track area would be the only time the spectators would need helmets! Also Midget if ya need some packs and motors..... I got some serious smoke over here if ya need it!:devil:

Thanks for the offer Al but your going to need that smoke when up make your return to racing,it's time for the fast one to make a comeback.i can see it now it maybe bigger than hulk hogans return to wrestle mania years ago,FASTALAMANIA!!!

I forget every year what the racing schedule is for the Jeff Sears. All I remember is that I leave for the track when it's pitch black and when I get back home it's pitch black again LOL. This is a long race day full of good times and great door to door action!

The race schedule for the JSMR is doors open at 7am open practice from 7-9am then there will be a controlled practice from 9am-noon,concours at 12:15 drivers meeting at 12:30 racing starts 1pm sharp,there will be no waiting for racers and a break between round 3 and the main,no reshuffle,heats are set up by ability,i no 99% of the racers and the other 1% i can ask others about ability,faster cars has the right of way if i have to keep telling racers to pull over they will be penatlies a lap.we do stagger starts(imfar)in the heats and heads up in the mains,if your car is broke in a heat or main you cannot put it back on the track,popping bodies,adjusting radios are OK.
the track will be open friday night for practice please limit 6 cars to the track during practice times,friday night is a open practice session.lets remember this is a hobby and lets have some fun,we are honoring one of the best racers that came out of northern new york,i know he's looking down on us so lets make him proud.if you have any questions at all please e-mail me of ask on this board or at the track,i will get back to you as soon as midgetly possible.

only a month away:):)it's coming fast

Dan Dubuque

Say it isn't so Dan!

Don't tell me the Jeff Sears is gonna be your last race as a race director! You've brought your club a long ways ahead since the days when the turns were lined with 14 inch tires and wood stacks served as the drivers stand.

Whoever replaces you is gonna have big shoes to fill.

what tire combo works for sportsman purple endbell class

Outlaw,it's true the time has came for me to start thinking about other stuff in my life,alot of people don't realize that i've been racing something my whole life,bicycles,motocross,stockcars and then r/c cars i'm not getting any younger,i'm not old but it's just time,this was not easy i did alot of thinking over the last year.
my doctor told me i shouldn't be getting stress,so thats why i don't take racing serious anymore,but being a race director is more stressful.trust me
i just need a break for a while( a long while)like i said i still will be at the track either helping out my wife,helping new racers or racing my SK once in a while.
jeeper,i believe that most guys run green on the leftside and black on RF and grey/white RR,i'm not 100% because i don't race our track much so someone else please post if i'm off base,those are all BSR tires.


Dan Dubuque

dan... i can testify that running a track is definatly stressfull, specially with the big number of racers that a trophy race can bring. it's good to hear that you may race... i would like to see you with a JSMR trophy, cause i can testify this too... they are hard to get!!! it is one of the best and one of the most competitive races in the north east area!!!

i been racing dirt oval lately, but count me in for this carpet show!

and justina i got a car with your name on it... as always for this event.

JR,the chance of me getting a JSMR trophy is slim,i have a better chance waking up tall and we know that ain't going to happen LOL

Dan Dubuque

Thanks Jr.

Justina

midget - as long as you run reverse tweak and not clean them motors you will be competitive ;)

MP,don't tell all my speed secrets, SAD but true,your still amazed that i was running reversed stagger at K&N and Barre,the Alien can confirm how i race my car,he shakes his head everytime and of coarse i get the alien speech,you can't do that,it shouldn't work,you have shock oil put it in the shocks,i hear over and over, my response is always the same too,i have a job i don't want two LOL

Dan Dubuque

Hi Dan,

Count me in! I might not be fast, but I'll have fun.

Martin Paradis

you can never go to lake city speedway and not have fun. dan, its sad to see you leave but everyone has to eventually. glad that you will be staying around though. it wouldnt be the same without your presence.

Rusty NutZ

I can't believe that the JSMR is only 3 weeks away. Time for some predictions?

1/10th scale pro - will Kenny or David take the track record away from Wade? It be cool to see our past Sportsman champion, Chris Roberts, take the pro win. The odds on favorite has to be Wade Bissonette.

1/10th scale sportsman - Here, the winner will be harder to predict! TJ has always had a fast car but young Tommy Whitman definately has the experience to win. I know that Scott Gadway and Corey Mears are ultra fast but my prediction will be that Neil Hanson will take home the win in this class (he just came back from the Snowbirds with another year of experience under his belt and don't forget....his cars were smokin'!!!!!

1/10th scale sportsman (handout motors) - the young Gadway will be the guy to beat! My money is on him to win and set a new track record.

1/12th scale - I know that Jason Lavalley and Tommy Hargrave can be very fast in this class, but Rudy has been doing his homework. I predict that Rudy's package will come together and he will take home the win.

Well, there you have it. My predictions for the JSMR. Let's see if anybody disagrees?!?
