8HerT 09-18-2008, 09:52 PM NEW TRACK IN WARREN OHIO.
IT IS CLOSER THAN EVER NOW. SHOULD HAVE THE NEW UPCOMING MONSTER TRACK FOR UP TO 1/5 GAS RC. MAYBE EVEN 1/4 SCALE OFF ROAD. I WILL KNOW HOW BIG IN A COUPLE DAYS, I THINK AT LEAST 1000 FOOT RUN LINE AND I CAN DOUBLE THAT IF I WANT. I HAVE BEEN BUILDING IT ALL SUMMER. IT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A GOLF COURSE.
NOW I AM SO CLOSE, WITH A GOOD WEEK OF WEATHER I SHOULD HAVE THE LAY OUT AND MAKE A FEW LAPS TO SEE WHAT I NEED NEXT. IF I GET ENOUGH PEOPLE TO RACE I WILL SPEND MORE MONEY ON THE VERY LARGE DRIVERS STAND WITH ROOF AND FANS. THE TRACK WILL HAVE AUTO SPRINKLERS TO KEEP DUST DOWN.
MARK THIS IN YOUR FAVORITES. KEEP WATCH FOR THE PICTURES OF THE TRACK. THIS IS NO B/S I HAVE THE AMB SYSTEM, BUT I AM A FIRM BELIEVER, MAKE IT NICE FIRST AND THEY WILL COME. IT WILL BE A VERY FAST TRACK AND IT WILL BE SET UP FOR 1/5TH SCALE IT WILL NOT BE SMOOTH LIKE BLACK TOP SO I THINK 1/10 IS OUT:wave::wave:
Where is warren oh from fort wayne
8HerT 09-18-2008, 09:54 PM i found it over past cleveland about 50 mi
BUTCH RATELL 09-19-2008, 11:31 AM yep you got it. thats us right down the turpike.
made the layout thursday! man does it look cool. going out to put down some borders and run my b5 on it and see what it is like.
i will try to get some pics of it and down load.
i have to wheel it and see the run line but i am guessing about 1400 foot @ 20 foot wide. 200 foot front straight. should be nice and fast. only one small bump i put in the track but i can do what ever i want in a hurry. i have alot of machines to do what ever i want.
can make it 30% bigger if needed. but i think it is big enough.
i need to move some more dirt and i think i can get a oval on the outside of the track. that will come lator. i like the off road, and the 1/5 cars and trucks are awsome.
i am looking at a 4wd 1/5 truck. awsome machine.
lator going to run car right now! woooo hooooo
BUTCH RATELL 09-23-2008, 04:14 PM dirt is really dusty. i need water.
BUTCH RATELL 09-26-2008, 09:03 PM mud is good.
1/4 scale off road coming next year.
i am selling 32cc 4x4 off roaders 1/4 scale.
will be fun next year. get ready.
BUTCH RATELL 10-14-2008, 07:25 AM got the dirt oval complete. looks great. around 600 foot rum line, flat track.
going to start to run on it and scrape in the bumps and smooth out.
saving the money right now for the drivers stand. will be ready for spring time. water does not stay on track and it is nice and sticky when damp.
will start the off road part soon.
get your 1/5 T5 thats the new truck hpi is bringing out.
look for 1/4 late model modifieds. you can run the wcm, pro1, lighting any car like this type plus the sprint cars they make. will be running nitro also, the 1/8 modified body type cars. plus i am making a truck oval dirt type 1/4 scale. this may be the class. rather than the modified class.
BUTCH RATELL 11-02-2008, 09:26 AM Got The Oval Made. Working On Drivers Stand.
Ordered A Losi 8 Modifed Oval Car.
Guys Want To Run The Hpi 5t Truck On Oval Also.
I Can't Wait To Run My 1/4 Scale Late Model Modified.
It Is Coming This Spring.
BUTCH RATELL 12-01-2008, 07:23 AM making moves. posts for the drivers stands are here. get your 1/5 scale 5b 5t or 1/8 scale stuff ready. we are going to rock and roll on sundays this season.
the oval track is done, i may continue as we race to make it better with some small banking on the far side straight.
the off road will not take much time. just scraping off grass and racing. will not be smooth this is going to be a off road track not a road course track so i do not think 1/10 will be able to run it. only 1/8 and 1/5 for sure. 1/5 rocks. but it gas it and run it all season. the best class you ever run. you do just about nothing to the car or truck but gas and go just like weed eating. lol.
see you soon.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW IF ANY ONE PLANS ON COMING OUT TO RACE FROM OTHER PLACES THAN WARREN. WE HAVE 40 TO 80 RACERS READY TO COME AND RACE RIGHT NOW.

BUTCH RATELL 07-20-2009, 09:09 AM For You Guys That Called Sunday Sorry I Just Did Not Get The Drivers Stand Completed Because Of The Rain Saturday.
But It Is Complete Now And We Are Racing The Rest Of The Year Until It Snows And We May Run In The Snow. :freak: B5's With Paddle Tires.
Ok You Asked For It.

We Have No Hobby Store!!!!! So Bring Your Parts.
ALSO BRING TABLES AND POPUPS
The Drivers Stand Is Up Finally. Man Alot Of Work.
I Will Ask Jim To Send The Pictures Of The Drivers Stand, About 7 Foot In Air A Nice Look At The Track. He Far Turn Is About 100 Foot Away. I Will Wheel The Track Today To See How Long It Is.
Had Some Racers Come Out Sunday, They All Loved The Track. At First They Said I Do Not Know, When They Ran The Track They Just Smiled Very Big. I Figured They Loved The Track.
As We Go Along I Will Try Other Lay Outs.
Every One Asked About Jumps. At 50 Mph A Little Bump Becomes A Big Jump.
italianc3po 07-20-2009, 09:23 AM sweet on saturdays and what time?

Kid Kahuna 07-20-2009, 11:46 PM I thought I posted these somewhere!!!!
Kid
The 2nd pic, is "A man outstanding in his field" :tongue:
Kid
BUTCH RATELL 07-21-2009, 08:56 AM Bring Your Cars. This Is A Fast Track. It Ended Up Being 750 Foot Run Line. Cars Get Pretty Small Out There I Think I Have To Stop At This Size.
Believe Me There Are Bumps Out There That Turn Into Jumps. This Is More Of A Race Track And Not A Stunt Track. As We Go We May Do Some Other Things Of Interest Until We Get What We Want.
Getem Ready People, We Are Racing And Ready. Tested The Lap Counter Monday And Everything Is Working.
You Are Wanting To Know The Cost To Race.
Race Days
15.00 First Class
25.00 For As Many Classes As You Want To Race.
Practice = 5.00 WEEK DAYS
PERSONAL TRANSPONDERS WELCOME . WE HAVE HOUSE TRANSPONDERS FOR THOSE THAT DO NOT HAVE PERSONALS.
If We Get 10 Or More Racers Per Class The Winner Of A-main Gets A Free Race Pass Ticket FOR ONE CLASS. There You Go! Something To Race For.:thumbsup:
WE ARE RUNNING QUALIFING, WE MAY PUT ELECTRICS AND NITRO AND MIX CLASSES UP BY LAP TIMES. SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Howard Had His 1/8 Nitro Out Running And 8 Laps Is Max Before Running Out Of Fuel. I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT HOW LONG ELECTRICS WILL RUN.:freak:
1/5 Buggies And Trucks Can Run Alot More Laps. Check Out Ebay There Are Buggies Starting At 350.00 Rtr They Are Clones Of The Hpi. And They Run On Gasoline. Alot Less Money.
Ok See You People On The Weekend.:)
One More Thing. If You Guys Want To Race After Work During The Week We Could Do That Also. Will Have To Pic A Day If Your Interested.
AS WE GET RACERS AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE RACERS WILL STAY AND RACE EVERY WEEKEND I WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THE DRIVERS STAND LARGER UNTILL WE CAN RACE 20 CARS AT ONE TIME.
I WANT TO MAKE A DIRT OVAL ALSO. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE RACERS, THE MORE WE GET THE MORE WE WILL DO. LETS ALL HAVE FUN AND GO RACING.
Longview Euro Speedway:wave:

Shinem Up Gettem Ready, Lets Rock And Roll And Race All Weekend.
BUTCH RATELL 07-22-2009, 09:55 AM Look For Longview Golf Course.
New Sign Coming For The Longview Euro Track.
Do Not Know If It Will Be Done By Sturday Or Not.
BUTCH RATELL 07-22-2009, 03:03 PM any one into friday night at the races. i am thinking of doing some racing on friday after work until dark. i love running this track. i will be out there tonight. come on over. let me know if any one is interested in friday grudge racing. lol every one runs at same time all classes.
BUTCH RATELL 07-22-2009, 03:13 PM remember there are no rain days at longview. we run every day rain or shine.
b5's and t5's are awsome. they run any where any time. i just put a spark plug in mine after 2 years. man i had to go to bank to get that 3.50. lol and 2.20 for a gallon of gas. beats the heck out of nitro fuel.
BUTCH RATELL 07-23-2009, 11:35 AM More B5's And T5's Coming To Race. People Are Getting Them Ready.
My 1/8 Truck Will Be Running Today.
BUTCH RATELL 07-23-2009, 03:39 PM If You Want To Run Slashes Bringem. I Think They Will Be To Small. I Do Not Know. Maybe Not.
gabby 07-25-2009, 08:04 PM Oval sounds like fun.Hope to make it up before summers end:thumbsup:
BUTCH RATELL 07-26-2009, 08:34 AM Going To Be Racing Today. Will Take Some Pictures And Movie I Hope.
I Love My B5 And T5
See You On The Track Racers
BUTCH RATELL 07-27-2009, 10:19 AM Pics Coming Of Cars Running On Track.
BUTCH RATELL 07-27-2009, 11:14 AM Cost Me 2.90 To Run For 3 Hours Sunday. 1/5 Scale Is Sooooooo Cheap To Run.
I Have Some Room On Other Side Of Track, Going To Cut A Oval Track In The Grass And Run The 1/5 1/8 Maybe 1/10 Scale After Grass Is Gone, See What The People Think Of That. I Want Both Tracks. I Like To Race Both. Not Going To Be To Big. I Think Like 350 Foot Would Be Cool. Can Make It Bigger But I Think 350 Would Be Good Size For All Cars. We Will See.
See You Racers On The Track Next Weekend.

BUTCH RATELL 07-29-2009, 04:34 PM 1/5 = man toy
just to let you guys know this. do not get the clones, only buy a t5 even if you want a buggy. the t5 is built tough to take the beating and not cost you extra money.
i got the first hpi buggy and it does not have the beaf that the t5 has.
you get the t5 and you will be happy and it wil not break like the old b5.
the new b5v2 has the heavy duty shocks and parts but not as good as the t5.
just to let you know.
you will save nothing if you get the old b5 you will be breaking parts all the time like me.
be smart get the new trucks. heavy duty everything.
i was going to update mine, and by the time i spend all the money i can have a new truck.
see you on the track.
BUTCH RATELL 07-30-2009, 10:54 AM sat and sunday racing no rain outs. bring your best, you will need it on this track.
1/8 nitro or electric
slashes bring alot of motors or do brushless and li-po
1/5 anything
BUTCH RATELL 07-31-2009, 10:22 AM Saturday Is Out. No One To Run Race On Saturday! So Sunday I Will B There.
Call If Your Coming. Not Setting Up If No One Is Going To Be There. So Call Or Post On Here That Your Racing On Sunday.
Thinking Of On Road Black Top Track For 2010, Can Run In The Rain. Checking It Out On The Cost Of The Track.
BUTCH RATELL 07-31-2009, 12:35 PM Come On Sunday I Am Bored. I Hope We Get Some 1/8 Guys Out So Me And Pat Can Run Over Them With Our 5b And 5t Lol.
BUTCH RATELL 07-31-2009, 12:39 PM Because Of The Bad Economy. Races Will Be 7.50 A Class. You Can Afford That.
