Tony S or Michael W It will be a Toyota!!!! They will dominated this year to pave the way for Honda, Acura,Kia, Hyundia and the all new chinese Cherry :):freak:
Buy the way Ford, Dodge and Chevy will soon be gone.

Just a small prediction on My part since I have such faith in the US economy.

Coming soon the BRP Church of no HOPE :confused:

This is true but I will be dead by then. They will be working at Chevy and Ford for $7.00 a HR and people will be lined up for miles to get those jobs. OH Yes the cars will be selling for like $60,000.00 Ford Focus.

An idea has been tossed around, and I wanted to find out what everybody thinks...

For the summer series, how about changing the track? We could try a Tri-Oval, change the radius of the ice and shorten, extend the oval?

What would you think about a few different types of ovals to change things up a little?

K-5 CAPER
02-19-2008, 09:05 AM
interesting idea micro, shortening it would be a good change from time to time.How could you make it larger though, the room is only so large??

martian 710
02-19-2008, 09:14 AM
Variety is the spice of life!!! Sounds good to me!!!:thumbsup: Maybe a Daytona(Tri-oval), Darlington(narrow lanes & different radius turns), Bristol(short bull ring), and what ever else we can come up with. Oh yah, and I think there should be at least one roadcourse.:woohoo:

The road coarse on Saturday had turns 1 and 2 pushed out a few feet and the straight aways narrowed up a foot or so. It felt ALOT bigger! That made the ice go away.. but now there are boards and dots!!

I think it would be a great idea to "tinker" with the oval in the summer, anyone else????

I could never see the point of Ice on a oval anyway. All it does is let someone make an out of control dive under another car in the turn and take them out. Put a radiused pipe on the inside of the turn and eliminate the problem!!!:thumbsup:

BudBartos
02-19-2008, 11:24 AM
I think We will move the ice out some to make the track longer. No road rails or boards in turns.

Micro_Racer

I think we can do a few things to make it interesting!

BudBartos

Just don't forget the bumps will return and with longer straights the car will be off the ground even more :o

Maybe for the 2008 point series restricter plates are needed for COT....

Micro_Racer

This idea is gaining momentum!

We have 8 summer races - so how about 4 different ovals? We would run the same track two race Fridays in a row.

To see a "shape" view of the different NASCAR tracks - see this link:

http://www.nascar.com/races/tracks/

The popular consensus is that the track we run today is most like New Hampshire.

Other tracks that we could imitate include:
Atlanta
Darlington
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Martinsville

Keep in mind we are just coping the shape - not the banking - all ovals will be flat.

Our next points race is this Saturday (March 1st). I would like to decided if this is something everyone would like to try and if so, pick the 4 tracks.

Micro >> Have You been able to figure out the one oval We have been running on :confused:

I want to keep things simple !!!

I do not want to try it. As I stated before I may look into moving the ice out to make a slightly longer straight.

KISS is why BRP is working in this area. We have a race now and most all are running on 4 different tracks as it is :) Not that that is bad :)

Micro >> Have You been able to figure out the one oval We have been running on :confused:


THAT IS WHY IT MUST CHANGE ;)

One of the cool things about the BRP series races was that we used to go to several different tracks, and different layouts. We had everything, road, high banked oval, flat oval. I miss the different layouts. We have raced on the same track for just about 2 years now, a few of us thought it would be cool to spice it up a little.....

But KISS, is the way to go, to keep new people coming, and not loose people who like what we are doing..

in a way it's like getting married...sex with the same person each week:woohoo:

We run road course all I here is how We love road course they are the smallest turnouts time after time.

I tryed to get some intrest to go to Classic last week and run on the big oval . No responce?? most were Going to Freddies to run the oval on Sunday.

Anyone ???

I enjoy Freddies, but a change in track shape would be fun. Running on the same oval track is like... well you know! Micro said it best!!

BudBartos
02-25-2008, 02:38 PM
Yes but You can fig it out fast since Your a national champion caliber racer :)


I watch the stock guys and they are a bunch of them getting a good handle on it which translates to better racing. If We change the track up they start over, to a point.

Anyone else comments !!
