It's time to start talking about the race @ the Big "D" again. Who is coming and what are ya gonna run? I'm in for both nitro classes! I wonder if any of those Alabama dogs will make it this year?

i am goin lol

Looks like I will be solo this year. I'm not even sure the Hamburgler will be there this year so if you need a pit spot, it looks like I will have room in the trailer.

I am planning on going. What do you think will be the big classes for electric?

I am ready, is it March yet!!!!

I was hoping Ron would have a 21.5/lipo class organized by then, lol

I will there for .09 nitro and a lipo class if there is one (21.5 or 17.5).

Does any one know what classes will be ran this year? I am planning on trying to make it. Looking at maybe .12, .09, or 17.5 brushless/lipo. Also where's the best place to stay down there? Its been about 17yrs since I have been to Daytona. Whats the best way to pit at the track? I have my trailer but if the garage has a good area to pit I may consider that so I dont have to worry about the extra cost of pulling it down with me, or do I.

13.5
10.5
21.5 lipo

i'm going to say 10.5 will be the largest class with close to 30 entries

smallest classes will be brushed anything.

plenty of places to stay around there . dont need the trailer cup garage area is great pit area.

Cliff, Mr. Bean had 10, 21.5 lipo's at his monthly oval at Strickland Park last Saturday and it seems to be growing nicely in Jax.

Also, I was communicating with some folks at the TriClone in WIS, looks like they will be going lipo in the indoor classes very soon.

What battery are they running with the 21.5? I officially have that weekend off! Can't wait to get back to Daytona! Pitting in the cup garage is the way to go.

3200 Orion Carbon

We had 10 21.5 Lipo cars at Stricklands this past Sat. and Alot of Fun.

HHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMM I have the time to take but wonder if the $$$$$ will say yes. If I make it I'de be in for 4 cell 13.5 or good ole 4 cell stock ..................Yeah I still have brushed motors :rolleyes:

not sure 4 cell stock will have more than 5 entires? maybe 0 entries?

whats the date on the race this year??

march 28-30

Does the track open on the 28th for the first day of practice or is it open on Wednesday or Thursday? When does racing start? I'm trying to figure out when I need to show up.

march 28-30

Right smack dab in the middle of Spring break. Oh Well that definatly puts me out of it.:(
You boys better make your reservations now.

we get about 5,000 kids in daytona for spring break at most and that is spread out over a 6 week period...daytona does not wlecome breakers...panam city is the hot spot..

practice is all day friday no one is alowed on track until then that way its fair to everyone

thats the last weekend of spring break its been spring break every year we been there lol

Its not a problem in Daytona with Spring Break, What I meant to say is "work" will have my attention that week-end. The way Easter is falling this year the Spring Break crowd (families also) will be traveling within a 2-3 week window. Last year it was stretched out over 4-6 weeks. I-75 will be Bumper to Bumper !!!!

What are hotel/motel rate runnning on average ?????

Toby, check the La Quinta on International Speedway Dr. It is close to the track and has a good rate. Also a Wing House there.

Thanks Larry but after going over the numbers it looks like for me the trip is a no go. Maybe nexy yr ...............that way I have a yr to save up the $$$

Will there be a 19T Truck class this year, just wanted to know so I can get a body ready.

when the trucks show up to race at our local track(stricklands) we get 8 or 9 trucks..so i bet there will be a truck class with over 10 entries.

Bring your Truck Rowdy I,m bringing mine, theres a regular group out of trucks at both Stricklands and Jacksonville, Bet there will be more 19 Truck entries than 4-cell stock entries :)
