You Can Tell When Mike Gets Confused. He Goes Backwards.

I thought that was normal for Mike. LoL !!!

He just shows it then.

Who is planning on going to Daytona the end of March for the speedway spectacular? There is going to be a lipo/21.5 class!!

I'm going for sure. I will probably just run the nitro car.

I am thinking about going. I may run brushless/lipo. I have a 17.5 but guess I need to get a 21.5. What nitro classes are they running (.12!). I guess I need to also get a tire truer or get some one to help me out with some tire truing.

We run .09 and .12, I gotcha covered on tire trueing. I am going to run both nitro classes and the 21.5 class, leaving the rest to the experts!I am thinking about going. I may run brushless/lipo.

you will need a 21.5 to run lipo here in Macon as wellI am thinking about going. I may run brushless/lipo. I have a 17.5 but guess I need to get a 21.5. What nitro classes are they running (.12!). I guess I need to also get a tire truer or get some one to help me out with some tire truing.

Count me in for Daytona. Sounds like a blast. I might haul my camper down. If I do it sleeps 4 comfortably. Ill let you know when it gets closer if I am dragging it down there or not.

Well you can camp in the infield, right next to the track!!!!!!!!!!!! I know Donnie does and a few others as well. It's La Quinta and the Winghouse for me!

Guys, it's with a heavy heart I have come here to say "Echeconnee Superspeedway is closed for good" For reasons I will not express here Andy has decided to close the track and will consider no other option. Since the track is in his back yard he has 100% authority as to whether anyone can race there or not. I am very sorry this has happened and I hope we can continue to race @ another venue very soon as I will retain most of the equipment and lap counting system. The only difference will be we will probably be running on foam tires. As long as the brats are hot and smokey, it will be a good day!

Bummer dude!!!!

See ya at Daytona!!!!

hate to hear the news lots of good memories from there.

Have had alot of good races there, I'm gonna miss it. I hate to here this. Sammy

Cliff I know this is very diffcult for you Andy too!. Sorry to here about it.
Remember ya'll all are always welcome here!

Mann this is not good.

Sorry to hear that, Cliff. I enjoyed my trips up there. Yall had some good racing.

Rod, shoot me an email so we can figure out what to do with our stuff. If you want to keep it in the trailer that's fine with me, but I will be hauling it back to either my apartment or my parents house. Just drop me a line and let me know what's on your mind.


Man this SUCKS!!!!!! I just found out that I am out for Daytona this year, the wife and I are trying to get our debts payed down. Then I got this news. 2008 doesn't look like its starting too hot. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

forgot to post my email....hit me up at either gordon_evernham@yahoo.com or ccollinsworth@wmaz.gannett.com.

Sorry to hear the news. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

what we need to do is find another place to race!

Hopefully we can, racing with you guys is one the reasons I thought about staying in this area. Hopefully we can find another location.

We'll figure something out. We have too many racers that dont want to just up and quit.

i vote for indoor on the carpet. AC in the summer time sound like the best idea since sliced bread!!!

I vote for indoor/outdoor carpet/concrete/asphalt oval. Ill take what I can get at this point. Going to be a long summer without racing.

There will be racing! I have talked to all but a couple of our regular group of racers and every one is on board no matter where we race, as long as it's a race. Robby, when are you scheduled to return from "vacation"?

I am up for racing any where we can. I think a carpet track is a great goal but for now a parking lot would be great. It really doesnt matter as long as we can continue to race.

beginning of Feb.

Well, mid Feb we need to get everyone local together @ the Ryans or something and talk about what we are going to do

You got that right I'm really like this oval thing and would hate to have to sell my cars.

Chris you got mail.

That sounds good to me. Just let me know when and where and I'll be there.

Cliff Let me know if there is anything I can do to help out. I'm looking forward to many more great races with you all. Hopefully we can all get together next month and come up with some alternatives. I can call you this week with a better Idea of when would be a good time for the three of us, as Linda and I will be going TDY in Late Feb. If robby makes it back on time it will leave us all here for at least two weeks in the middle of the month.

That's fine, I wasn't sure of when Robby was going to return and be ready to have a meeting. I am sure there will be some overlap between the time he returns and when you guys leave and we will plan in that timeframe.Cliff Let me know if there is anything I can do to help out.

Just keep us up to date Cliff and I will be in touch soon with you and Rod

Cliff and Andy,
Wow, that is some super crappy news. Good luck on your quest for another facility (permanent or temperary) to race at. Hey, everyone move to Kansas!!! Here in this time little town called Ogden there is a nice vacant chunk of concrete next to the little city center. But I digress and my ramblings are really not helping the cause, again Good Luck!

i live in alabama,and has been out of this hobby for years,i called the other day and heard this bad news.....when you get a track running i will try to make some races....oval tracks are drying up i see.....i have a electric 10th scale that is old,but all i have is still roared approved....looking forward to racing with everyone soon..

marshall

i am about 2 hours from there....use to race there alot years ago....but not many electric cars come to race there....

i have talked to allen the president of lpr in montgomery,if people want to race electric 10th scale,show up......all we need is a handfull to race,of course i would love to have 15 or so to show up......the track is there,it just needs to be used...

marshall

I/we race there a good bit. It's a great track and a really good group of racers. I run my 1/4 scale there as well as my nitro's. I still run electric but only with lipo's now.

:dude: looked @ a building today

cool,if a track opens up down there running 10 th scale pan,you can count me in to race,i am just a couple of hours away..

marshall

Where do you live Marshal?

i live in eastaboga,5 minutes from talladega speedway,this weekend i will try to make my first race in 8 years,planning on going up to henderson,tn....meet with a couple of guys from huntsville.there is no tracks real close,closest is lagoon,but it seems hard to get enough 10th scale to race there,for whatever reason..
