PLEASE SEE MY UPDATE BELOW LISTING ALL OUR SPONSORS! Without them this Tour would not be possible! THANK YOU EVERYONE!

shaun thought there was going to be a new stop on the tour this year

I would like to wish everyone good luck on the tour this year. I want to say think you for putting us on the schedule twice. I will be looking forward to meeting many new faces. Thank you again and lets bring on the carpet season :thumbsup:

:thumbsup:

Great to hear you are on the Hooters Tour again this year Freddie. Since the first race is at your track and it's on Oct 20, maybe we can run the big, black bowl! Still nice weather, usually, and give the Hooters Tour runners alittle something different to race on. Maybe even make it a Halloween race. Costumes, candy and all! Just an idea.

Thanks,
Dale

I am game, it would all be up to Shawn and the weather

Is there a website where the HOOTER chassis can be viewed??

Hooter Chassis actually manufactures R/C Pulling Tractor Chassis. The owner, Glen Singleton, also races Pan Cars and EDM's, and was one of the people who originally started the series. Here's the link to the tour website, and the hobbyshop website.

Thanks Jeff, Cool looking pullers.

Jeff,
Thanks for jumping in to cover me, sorry guys got busy & went on vacation. Glen's Pulling Chassis's & the Bodies the person who does his bodies (forgive if I'm wrong I think it's Darren) are some very sweet rides.

Just as note we did have inquiries from some new tracks & we appreciate them, based on a questionaire we did during last season from the main group who ran the Tour & supported it we went with the same tracks as last year giving the two newest tracks each a second date.

We would like to thank everyone for your support & Look forward to an exciting new season coming up!
Thanks
Shaun N.

I plan on running the whole Tour this year. Coming off of Buddy's and my commanding domination at Freddie's Labor Day weekend. ;-) Dragged the '05 Silva from the pasture, dusted it off, and will have my old pal Dean Swanson driving it all winter. Dean raced back in the late '80s and early '90s when we were in HS, and he's a hell of a wheel man. Look for him to be up there. Hope to see everyone this winter. Gem City starts this Tuesday already! Can't wait!!!

btw....just added some new photos of the cars I ran this summer to My Gallery, so check 'em out.

Forza 27,
Welcome aboard for this year, look forward to seeing some more guys from your neck of the woods running with us this year.

Rick

Rick,
Hello, the EDM class will be 6-cell stock this year. The bodies must be the taller (big block modified style) no E-mod style bodies. Thanks & look forward to seeing you guys on the tour this year.
Shaun N.

Shaun, need class rules on web site for newbies to the tour.


Bob

Hi everyone,
The site should be updated with all the class rules later tonight & should be ongoing now that summer is winding down myself & Kevin who is doing our website will have more time to get in touch with each other. Thanks guys & he'll have a great site for us this year!
Later - Shaun N.

Shaun, I've run the Tour many several times the past two years. Mainly at Craft World, Glen's, and Gem City. But this year I plan on making every race.

Brandon, if you're going to Freddies, I suggest you not stay overnite. I heard some bad stories about you when you were at the Worlds. lol

Bob

It all started when Allan said, "Hey, do you like vodka?" ;-) I was definitely R.I.P.ped that night. lol. I added a couple pics of the KSG and Silva with the "official" Hooter Tour paint scheme. Don't worry, Shaun, I'll cut those spoilers down. lol. 3/4" high from the deck lid, right?

Looks Sweet! Glad to see you guys running this year! I have to cut my new down also keep forgetting the little build in spoiler on bodies now. I was so used to protoforms with out them.

See ya all soon, the website has been updated with all the rules for all classes!

Later - Shaun N.

Shaun, is the new protoform truck going to be legal when it comes out? Also McAllister #245 Chevy.

Thanks, Bob

Bob,
Yes they would /will be legal also, I'll see if I can get that noted added on the sight but any new full covered truck bodies should be no problem. thanks!
Later - Shaun

Shaun, Dave Ward and I have been talking a little bit lately, mostly about the new track that is going to be opening in Corry this fall. We were thinking about having an exhibition event there, maybe make it an All Star Race like the BRL is doing. Let me know when you have some time and Dave or I can give you a call and get your thoughts, later!

Bob,
Sounds OK to me, I'm sure something could get set up. I'm usually settled in after 9:00pm every night at home. Have the boys football practice till 7:30 so it's a little hetic from when we first get home & they get cleaned up, eat & in bed, so after 9:00 is usually better.
Later - Shaun

Hey guys,

Ok few question:
Can you practice the day before the race or is it a one day deal?
How many racers do you get on average night?

Thanks,
Mario

Mario, normally they are just one day deals, not a super long day either. (2) heats and a main. 4 Cell stock normally pulls 30 or so guys, which isn't bad considering today's big race turnouts. Freddies might be a little lower, since that is the farthest track away from the majority of the guys that run the tour, but the Jamestown races always have a good turnout, and the Bulldog races always have a good turn out. I think Shaun can get on here and back me up on this, but I am pretty sure average turnout is around 30.

normally they are just one day deals, not a super long day either. (2) heats and a main.

I wonder if Bob and Jeff Patch remember the 2-17 Jamestown race.

The race started at 4pm and got done around 2:30am Sunday morning, I would say this was A SUPER LONG DAY

I didn't get home 'til 4 one night there...something like 24 heats. (x 2 rounds + mains). Maybe you guys could talk with Greg about not running so many classes on nights when there's a tour race?

I'm new to 1/10 pancar this year. If i show up at one of your races without already having been registered with the tour, can I still race? I'm asking because I'll probably only make it to the ones at Craft World and Racer's Edge.

Matt

Yeah Billy, I remember it well. It took me 10 minutes to get home. lol. I also remember all of the nights of getting home from B&S at 3:30/4:00 in the morning. By the way, I heard you are a rebel now. Are you racing down there or are you just kicked back eating grits three times a day. LOVE THEM GRITS !!!

Matt- If you want to run any of the tour races there is a one time entry fee of $10.00. Racing at Craft World will be starting at 1:00 this year and there will not be twenty different classes. No more five classes of trucks, three mini Ts, three edms,etc. Classes have not been finalized yet, but there will definitely be less.

Bob Patch

Yeah Billy, I remember it well. It took me 10 minutes to get home. lol. I also remember all of the nights of getting home from B&S at 3:30/4:00 in the morning. By the way, I heard you are a rebel now. Are you racing down there or are you just kicked back eating grits three times a day. LOVE THEM GRITS !!!



Bob Patch

yes bob i am a rebel now lol, no grits yet though

like matt, i got home around 4 am that night

good luck to you and all the hooters chassis tour drivers this yr

and say hi to bob grant and glen singleton for me, if you hit 'em, tell them it's from billy, especially glen lol

Mario,
Bob hit it about right with the turn out, it does vary race to race. As for practice, all the races are one day deals. We have it so the tracks open by 10:00am - 10:30am (some / most open earlier depending on the own policies) for practicing - note this is usually not controlled per say, it's open for everyone.

This year all races will now start at 1:00pm. We have also asked that the Tour classes run there Mains first before others - heats will be inter-mixed.

Billy,
How are you? I also heard you were enjoying nicer weather year round now also & saw your car in pic thread. Will you be up this way at all anymore, would be great to maybe see you at one of the races? I remember the Craft World night also, this is why we have made it that they all start at 1:00 & the mains for the Tour classes run first. Hoefully this will get everyone who travels a chance to get back on the road earlier & home at nicer times.

Matt,
You can run as many events as you wish, all you have to do is pay the one time registration fee of $10.00 (at the first event you run at) if just 4 Cell, just a note each class does require a seperate registration fee. This means say if you also want to run the EDM class that is a second $10.00 for a total of $20.00. Just wanted to make sure that was clear so there were no surprises. Look forward to meeting you at the races!

Thanks Guys!
Shaun N.

shaun,

my car isn't legal for the tour anymore, my wing is a permanent fixture, so i guess i'll just stay down south

billyk

First tour race is jew a few short weeks away, who's ready for some great racing action. I am!

I'd love to see the looks on Bob's and Jeff's faces when I tell them I liked the Silva better than the KSG when I ran at Harbor Creek Tuesday night! lol

for a Skull like you I'd believe it. That was probably BD special build, which a 4 year old with terettes (SP?) could Drive!!!! LOL. Brandon, I got some trick up my sleve for you guys this summer. Buddy isn't sure if he is going to Freddies yet, if you want you can ride with my dad and I.

Brandon, bringing the RIP ride out of retirement, and the old guy will have new glasses so he can see again. You guys are in so much trouble. lol

Bob

Nope, Jeffy, all I got from Bud was the chassis plate and slider....the rest is all from the old 10L4. Thanks for the confidence though...lol I think my old Round Tracker is around here somewhere ;-)

And I believe this is the same "skull" that outqualified a certain Jeffrey Patch at Bergman Park...hmm. lol ;-) Where can I see a photo of the Protoform truck body y' all are talking about. I decided to run the Silva in the Spec Truck class with the Tour.

so who is all gunna be goin to freddies on the 20th

I'll be there

so who is all gunna be goin to freddies on the 20th


What time does the track open and what time does racing start?

Doug p

What time does the track open and what time does racing start?

Doug p

i now on sundays he opens at 8am and racing started at noon sharp. not real sure for the 20th but i will bet its the same.

Is the outlaw race on the 20th, cause that is a Saturday? I thought Freddie ran the oval on Sunday?

Hello guys,
Just to clarify the Hooter Race is on Saturday the 20th. All of the Hooter races are on Saturdays. We ask each track to open no later than 10-10:30 time frame (most open much earlier however). I am not sure what time Freddie will actually open / how early. The Hooter races are also scheduled to start at 1:00 usually also. Hope this helps out & look forward to seeing everyone here shortly! Thanks!

Dales truck body, first one Ive seen painted

Thanks Carpy...any idea on when they'll be out for sale? I remember Ziggy had the Chargers at Craft World when they first came out...but you couldn't find them for sale for several months after that. I'm already picturing the car and truck....light blue and white....#27....Unicef decals...just need to work on the French-Canadian accent. LOL

Brandon, Lefthander RC has them in stock.

Bob

Never mind...I just ordered one from Lefthander.

Did so before Patchinator replied...lol
