The race will have three qualifiers and a main. A main will be an 8 car, 10 minute race.

There will be a max pinion size of 10 tooth and a min spur size of 45 tooth in this class (only BRP gears allowed). We will also enforce a $15.00 claiming rule for this class on motors. After a run anyone in the stock class may claim a motor from the stock class(first come first served must go thru Bud) after paying $15.00 to the racer that is running the motor. It will be pulled at that time and given to the person claiming it. If someone shows up with a 16D powered 6 cell car they can run it in stock.

Hey is the flyer for the figure 8 race. It should be a really fun time. I know I am looking foward to it. If you have any questions about this race please direct toward myself. Thanks

Ah man, you mean I can't run my Beetle body? :( Herbie wants to ride again!!! :) :wave:

I thought We ran the fig 8 last night :confused:

Hey Bud, Do you have a late model body for the fig 8. I'm thinking about a demo derby paint job like the ones at the fair. Orange wheels, sloppy numbers & EAT ME on the back. LOL!!

What about a bomber line of bodies!!! big fun.

Ah man, you mean I can't run my Beetle body? :( Herbie wants to ride again!!! :) :wave:

I'll just give you one of Logan's old bodies. They look like veteran figure 8 cars!!!

I think we should make it a family fun night. Have a race for the wives, girlfriends, payed escorts :eek:, what ever. Maybe a blindfold race? Also we could have everyone bring a food dish and have dinner before the race. Just a thought. :wave: :thumbsup: Brett

I pick the stock car and truck bodys because the blunt nose. Anything else I think would be unfair......Its a fun race. Remember the fastest car could, maybe not even make the main. Remember it is a FUN RACE so I wanted to kept the rule simple and use what most have allready.

Hey a bring a dish thing would be cool.....But as far as other races will see.
Tang

Will the qualifiers be run on the figure 8 track also?????
Don

Yes Don all will be on the figure 8 track.

What will happen is:

First place in a heat will get 1 point a, second 2 points and so on. The main will be set but least point on the pole and so on.
The heats will be 5 to 6 car depending on how many we get.
Tang

Hope there are enough cars left to run a main!!!!!
Don

FOOD Yea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope there are enough cars left to run a main!!!!!
Don

Don I will surprise if we someone break a part on these cars. Maybe something falling off but nothing more then a regular race

I just wanted to run something unique for the race. I'll bring my Beetle body to the next race for pre-approval. The front end is more blunt and the front bumer is higher than any of the stock class bodies we're running now. I'm planning on bringing at least 4 cars and drivers to the race. Can't wait. :woohoo: :thumbsup: :wave:

Tang you going to have race trophies - just a little laminated card - for bragging rights?!?!?!

Also - lets include the Bug and other non-wedge nose bodies...

I'm off work during the winter I could probably make up some awards for the race.

Data recovery from my crashed hard drive suppose to run 1500 or more. (baby pics & movies from July on). Wife is out of work as of end of the month. I'll be posting some things in the for sale thread.

Have a good one. :)
HT

I would consider the race if someone has a possible rental ride, I only have 1 primary car and it told me it does not want to do figure 8.

Hangtime, sorry about your luck I also have been hit with unexpected BS it sucks. Hang in there, and good luck!!!!

Wifes front end work. $1000. :eek: :devil: :wave: I'll be posting some things in the for sale thread.

Have a good one. :)
HT
Sorry about the bad luck Rick we'll see you in a couple weeks!!!

Is this a trick question? Any fast motors I have I'm running.

Second - I'm probably running against you.

Tell you what. If your serious I'll be at Freddies Sunday. Bring me a motor NIP & I'll do my special prep & break-in on it for you. :thumbsup:

Oh boy!!! Can I bring one too!!! :woohoo: :thumbsup: :wave:

I don't know but it's looking 50/50 on the figure-8 race for us now. We might be going to take advantage of the off week in the points series and do another ski trip. The kids are really bugging me about going again. I should know for sure this weekend.

That does not look like a promising turnout ????

It might be better to do this after the winter season is over. Maybe the day your going to hand out the awards. Doesn't seem like anyone want's to take a chance at messing up their cars now. Maybe do a triathalon. 1 heat oval, 1 heat onroad, and 1 heat figure-8 all with the same car no practice in between. Person with the most total laps wins. Just a thought and it might be a little easier on the cars.

Hey Guys,

Do to the race schedule and people not wanting to crash their cars during the season. We are going to move the figure 8 race to a date in March after the season. I will have a date in a week. I hope everyone will make it. It should be a really fun time.
Tang

Maybe We can talk about doing the awards at the Fig 8 race and make like a party of it, Maybe even the Itailian sausage just for a taste of the summer series :) I know Micro would like the time to fig the points up.

I like that idea! let's make it happen!

Just wanted to bring this back up to the top. The fig 8 has been moved to March 23rd and will include a roadoval....
