Anyone know what's happening at The Mill this yr ???? I'm hoping there will be racing there this yr. :thumbsup:

up we go :D

Hello anything ??????

i'd like to make a couple trips down this summer.... it probably won't be with a pan car though.

Here's hoping that we get some info here ...................or somewhere. It would be a boring summer with out racing at THE MILL

They are on the Nitro Tour for sure...

Here's hoping for even a limited schedule. Otherwise my summer will be like the action of a vacume cleaner .......................if you know what I mean?

so you're saying it's gonna suck? LOL

in a round about way ...............................YES

get yourself into LIPO and come to the BOWL

get yourself into LIPO and come to the BOWL

actually george was talking about lipos for the mill this year

after the performance G V put on at the Birds it should be strictly 13.5 4 cell at the Mill !!!

Hey 13.5 works for me ...............Got one in the car and one in the package. Back em with TQ cells and let them eat :thumbsup: But for those who have not yet made the switch I can still run good ole stock. After my trip to TRS in Altoona I think I wait on the lipo thing ............they turn into fire balls REAL FAST.

i hav'nt even seen george or beach yet this year... where you guys hiding??? LOL

what the heck! Lets go for 13.5 LIPO!

George is still trying to get over the great week he had in FL.

Hello everyone......here goes per a conversation with Geo just last week. We are going to have a schedule up in about a week or so.

George is also planning on a FULL schedule........BUT THERE IS A CATCH.........

No attendance for the first few weeks...He is shutting down, so with that said, I would get ahold of either me or George (CALL HIM), and voice your opinions.

I believe we are going to do 17.5 13.5 and maybe 10.5 but doubtful anyone will do that class, lipos are a go, just I dont know what he has decided on yet.......

I will post more as I learn more.

Jim

George did have a GREAT week at the Birds, and ya'll should have a GREAT season at the Mill; assuming Mother Nature does her part well and does not mess up the weekends. So, keep your collective fingers crossed.

I believe we are going to do 17.5 13.5 and maybe 10.5 but doubtful anyone will do that class, lipos are a go, just I dont know what he has decided on yet.......

That's right. 10.5 has been replaced with 3.5 and Lipos... I know someone will run with me. This season it is time to go F A S T.

One more thing to add after talking with George this morning.......THIS WILL BE THE LAST SEASON for WILLOW MILL SPEEDWAY...

I think there are a number of reasons for that, one being I think rumor has it that the park is going diffrent directions, I think George will be able to clear that up in a few months.

Jim

PS, good to Jamie posting on this thread.....If he shows up to race, the fast guys only bring more fast guys with 'em:thumbsup:

Hey Beach, when are you guys getting back to the Strand?

Beach how does one get in touch with George. PM me with a phone number. Thanks.

Glenn Norton

Hey Beach, when are you guys getting back to the Strand?

Frank, Good question, I still dont have all my stuff back from Geo from his trip to Florida.

jim

Beach you better go get a new car, I don't think you're getting that car from george for a long time. He probably sleeps with it every night.

Ron, that wasnt my car he was using, my can in 13.5 and some of my batteries though

And my rotor in 13.5.............it was all good

Well let us know when the first race is ............................ looks like I'll be getting that second brushless setup forthe other car :D So I'll be in for 13.5 and 17.5 classes.

Just a question for those who don't have a brushless setup yet and might not have one by the start of the season ?? Will there still be old style brushed ???? I'm asking for those who are not internet users.

Toby, the first sunday of may is the opening day. I have a message from George that I will post later. Jim

From George.......

Willow Mill Speedway will be opening for its LAST season of racing on Sunday May 4th 08

Racing will be every Sunday (weather permitting) racing starts at 12:30 pm.

As with previous seasons, "special" races are scheduled for each month.

The concession stand will be open on "special events" only, unless attendance supports its opening on regular race days.

Unfortunately due to increase costs, a fair amount of racers must participate on regular race days in May to keep the track open after the 2008 PA Nitro tour race scheduled on June 1st, 2008.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the track.

Thank you to all of you have supported "The Mill" over the past 16 years!!

Geo.

PS, I will be adding classes shortly........Jim

Jim,
I am going to start working on some of the Pittsburgh guys to come down for opening day. Hopefully The Mill can maintain a full schedule all year. Bob

Bob, that would be great! I am not sure if you have ever been here or not? It is an awesome place, competition is always close.

I just spoke with George a few minutes ago and he is coming out to the brl race with another guy, I can make it, I am shakin' down my new gas ride.

Jim,
I raced there a few times back in the mid or late 90's . I only made it there once last summer for the ORL race and that was a weekend to forget for me. haha. Hoping to make it there more often this summer and hopefully I will be dragging some people with me. Thanks for keeping us all posted on the schedule.


Sounds like the BRL race is going to be pretty big.

The BRL will be big! its a great series, I ran the Greenville one with not much success, sorta like your ORL event LOL!

Do you have any suggestions for any classes? I know you have been racing a whole lot more then I have?

I was thinking 17.5 13.5 10.5 for classes? Lipo's are all George, I KNOW NOTHING about em

Jim

Jim,
13.5 has been by far the most popular class in my area. I would say 13.5 and 17.5 would definites with 10.5 as a possible. IMO less classes the better but I know that doesn't always work.

Bob, we think alike, we used to have a TON of different classes, but I think those days are pretty much over.

I'll be there as much as I can......................WAIT did someone say 17.5 as a possible class ???? If so that's a good reason to get the second car setup brushless.

17.5 is growing fast.... take that brushed motor equipment, bring it to the strand, and toss it down the elevator shaft LOL.

Funny. Might have to take a ride up there just to watch.

I am in for 13.5 and 17.5...

Beach I have posted the info from here on another site for more exposure.


Bill A you go to a track and watch ???? What's wrong with this :confused:

At this time 3 of the TBRC guys are in for 13.5 and one might be in for 17.5. No lipos for us yet......................ever see one of them go up in flames ???

SEE everyone the first Sunday of May.:woohoo:

Toby, where did you post it?

Sounds good Frank. whats going on with TnL's any word if it is going to be open?

over on Rc tech under oval and larger scales as well as track,locator areas. I did the cut and paste thing from here.

Beach with the price of gas going UP maybe the schedule should be 2 sundays a month. The cheap stuff here is almost 3.30 a gal. The recomended fuel for my car is just shy of 3.50 a gallon. All I can say is GOUGING or how ever it's spelled.

UH guys what do you think ????? I mean a full schedule would be great but a limited one is affordable for most of us that come from "out of town".

Toby, I think you need to get with George?

I'll try and give him a call

When is the first race?

The first Sunday of May if I remember right...........................that and if the weather works with us.

Can somebody give me some suggestions for tire setup for 13.5? I am probably going to try Jacos but haven't decided yet. Thanks. Bob

Most likely will be purples and magentas or double pinks.... JM
