FREDDIE IS WORKING ON HIS DIRT OVAL TRACK. IT MIGHT BE READY THIS FRIDAY.
WE ARE PLANNING TO RUN BOX STOCK SLIDERS AND MINI LATE MODELS....ALSO ANY 3 MAKE A HEAT(MINI-Ts,18Ts,2WD-4WD 1/10TH SCALE)
NOT SURE IF WE WILL BE RACING ON FRIDAY EVENINGS OR SUNDAY MORNINGS..LET US KNOW WHAT WOULD BE BETTER.
THE TRACK HAS LIGHTS AND ELECTRICITY.
THIS IS JUST AN IDEA SO GIVE US YOUR INPUT IF INTERESTED.:thumbsup:

Classic has been running 1/18th on friday nights for a while now, I would think that it would be more professional to chose a different day as not to infringe, not to mention those of us that run classic on friday nights and sundays offroad as it is.

For me Freddies is too far to get too on fridays with my work schedule... why should i have to choose one or the other?

Ill just wait for Steve to get his dirt track in...

I Think Steve Is Running His Dirt Track On Saturdays...and I Plan On Supporting Both Tracks...Maybe We Could Set Up A Points Series Between Both Tracks...ALSO FREDDIE RUN THE ASPHALT ON SATURDAYS...SO IT HAS TO BE EITHER FRIDAYS OR SUNDAYS.

Below are the rules that Pit Road Raceway are using. It is simple - keep it stock. If it was not in the box when you purchased it, it's not legal!
1. Bodies:
: must be mounted as closely as possible to the original position (no offset).

2. Shocks / Springs:
: use any of the STOCK mounting location holes only
: allowed to change the oil used
: stock springs only - no exceptions
: preload spacers allowed (we may require a minimum travel on each shock)
: Absolutely NO internal travel spacers

3. Batteries:
: Only the stock Losi 1100maH or the ProMatch 1400 Dayrl designates

4. Tires:
: Stock size Losi mini-late model rubber tires only.
: Compounds may be changed between soft / medium / hard

5. Chassis:
: No modifications of any kind (cutting, bracing, etc)

6. Electronics:
: Stock speed control, motor, and receiver only
: Servo may be replaced with any micro servo of the same dimension and weight. Location cannot be changed.
: Any transmitter may be used

7. Gears:
: Stock installed gears only
: No changing pinion or spur size (including the pinions that come w/ the car)
: No changing differential type

I would like to see a Sunday AM race. Fridays are tough getting out to the track. Traffic sucks on Friday on rout 14. It would be cool running under the lights, but I could do with out the blood sucking bugs (we had them inside, just imagine how bad it will be outside!) Also the folks from Columbus may be able to make a few Sunday races.

No one has asked you to choose a track. It sounds like Classics runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday....so it would not matter what day we pick for the dirt oval. I have raced at both tracks, and choose not to make this into some type of war.....both tracks are over an hour away from my home :(

Im just sayin, if Steve and Feddie are gonna work together then thats great! Thats what we need. I think we need to hear it from them. I have no problem supporting both tracks when i can.

If you guys run Sun. mornings I should be able to make some races. Also it would be a lot more comfortable heat and skeeter wise then!!!:thumbsup: I have an 18b with a modified body right now. If I sell a couple of other cars that I have just setting on the shelve I'm going to pick up a Mini late model!!! :wave:

Losi Mini Late Model - we are running them box stock - all you have to do is buy one from Freddie, charge the battery, and race!

Well I piled up blue glay on turns one and four yesterday. I will get some pics up by wed hopfully it will look good once again. I built this track 3-4 years ago. I let it go the last two. After much demand of people telling me to get it ready I will try it once again. See you on Friday or Sunday I am here either way

Well I do know one thing. The economy is not very good, I think if it were just that we would still be alright. But the high gas prices are what is really bringing things down. And yes I know looking at the BIG picture gas prices are part of the economy.

In the last year I have scene tracks close. and I have scene new tracks open up, there are now more tracks running than when I started just 5 years ago.

I do know one thing. I have one thing that many of the others do not, I have diversity. I carry all of the specialty parts many of the racers need and want. Plus I have other things supporting the store other than racing. I have a unique situation in addition to everything else. I will always be here. I have made and continue to make and investment for racers in general.

I would hope racers would look at everyone situation and support those who support them and will continue to be there for them for years to come. I know of tracks that are running now and then are closing next month and then open again ? does that do anyone any good ? Or tracks that do not have a set of rules in which everyone must follow ? again not doing anyone any good.

I think if racers sat back and looked at the big picture instead of what is in it for ME NOW they would make better choices. Its sad but in the 5 years I have owned this store and tracks. that's all I see. people out for themselves. They all come with their hands out and they are the first to leave for something new ?

ALL I have to say is Gee Thanks. Oh wait is my bitter side showing ?

Some people said I shouldn't put out there my real feeling. I am a real person who put tons of $$ out there. Life's isn't all smile faces and everything is cool. People will always know who and what mood I am in :cool:

That's what I thought but that wasn't the rules that Micro posted. We all know he doesn't pay any attention to the rules anyway!!!:eek::tongue::jest::D:wave:
How wide is the Mini late model body? I wonder if one will fit on my 18b?

Well nothing is wrong with Fridays, who ever said there was anything wrong with them I simply said Sundays would be nicer for myself was all. I do need a night to myself once in a while. Plus I do not have to reshedual my martial arts. So You going to get a car and come bang these walls to or what ?

I would like to see a Sunday AM start time. Say 8:30-9am...this way we could be done before noon.
advantages:
1. cooler weather
2. less bugs
3. much less traffic
4. home before NASCAR starts
5. Friday night racing, the Columbus guys would not be able to make...

NatalieMorgan
06-24-2008, 09:18 AM
dont forget that the columbus guys also have a 2 hour drive... so starting at 830-9 means they have to leave by 7am... I would start around noonish myself... Oh and I prefer sundays too.

Freddie's Hobbies
06-24-2008, 10:00 AM
once everyone speaks up I am sure we will come to a time that will suit most

Freddie's Hobbies
06-24-2008, 10:08 AM
we would start sundays some ware around Noon. lets people get here play a little we run a day of racing and its early enough to get back home and relax

Micro_Racer
06-24-2008, 10:19 AM
I am over an hour away myself! I would be willing to wake up earlier if it meant I could get home by 1pm or so....

starting at noon kills the entire day....

maybe 9:30 - 10am?

06-24-2008, 10:30 AM
