New season coming. New thread.

I know it's really early to start planning for 2010, but it does come fairly quick.

The 1st annual Bob Thompson Memorial race is scheduled for May. With help from all of Bob's friends and fellow racers I'm sure it will be a great day of remembrance and racing. Bob will be missed, but never forgotten. More info. about this event coming soon.

This sounds great,count me in. His family like the idea & would like to be there.

sounds good here as well. I raced against Bob off and on since early 90's. he was always nice to be around.

Only 4 months to go!

So, What are you guys doing in the "Off Season"?

I started working on my stuff yesterday.

I'm going to Grand Rapids to do a promotional race (had to fix my car first). I am working on a promotional video for QSAC. I am also working on the website, rules for 2010, and other 2010 documents for QSAC.

Selling all my 1/10 scale stuff so I can buy a new car and thinking about how to get more people involved with the hobby. I may hold on to my current car and set it up as a rental or invite some people to (Stealing a line from Ford) drive one at our track...lol maybe they may want to buy it right there on the spot radio and all... just a thought.

Also, making up more QSAC business cards and getting them out to people doing promotional appearances as well as getting material together to create a fold out presentation like you would see on an easel.

Working with the marketing people to see what i can do to get the QSAC website more visibility and better searchability on the internet. I want to get more hits on the website.

I'm also trying to make the site come up faster in your browser, and not loose any material, maybe add a few things too...

This should keep me busy for a while... So send me your material (Video, pictures, text, and ideas)

Freddie Just Got Another Cnc Machine. Master Builder Is Coming Along Nicly.
Cheap Parts Are Coming. Now If We Had Some Cheap Tires. Tires Cost More Than The Cars. Aluminum Hubs Could Be On There Way. Wooo Hoooo

Was there a lot of cars? What kinda 1/4 scale car do u have / race?

New Racer For Freddies Next Yr.

New 1/4 Scale Cars At Freddies.

Modifed Class I See In Qsac, Woooow Hooooo

New Racer For Freddies Next Yr.

New 1/4 Scale Cars At Freddies.

Yes, there are plenty of new guys getting 1/4 scale cars for 2010. That's a good thing!!

how many?

how many?

I know of four, but I'm told its like 8..We'll see.

Btw - I am trying to get a booth at some local car shows this spring to promote 1/4 scale. Also, where is the closest full-size race track to Freddie's?

I would think that Sharon Speedway in Hartford, OH.

Yep Sharon Speed Way. Lots Of Dirt Oval Boys From There Wanting To Race. So I Am Making The Big Dirt Oval For 2010. Got The Fence Allready, Need To Get The 40 Foot Drivers Stand Yet. So The 1/4 Sprints And Modified Races This Summer. Sundays. Freddies Sat. Woooo Hoooo Lots Of Racing.

Get Some Sprint Cars Built Freddie. The Aluminum Ones. :-)

I would think that Sharon Speedway in Hartford, OH.

That's what I thought. We did a 1/4 scale show / display their back in 2006 (i think) at the Sharon Nationals. TONS of people (10K)! It was fun. I was horse from talking to all the people about the 1/4 scale cars.

I could arrange this again if anybody is willing to help. The Blaney's (track owner Dave Blaney) loved this!

There is also midvale,down close to new Phili Ohio,it is a down to earth place,asphalt track. I bet we could put on a demonstration there,the crowd would love it. it's not that far away.

Dan....(good Idea) i have been very busy lately..... They also have that small oval in the front stretch. It is possible we could put on a show for intermission there or something like that. In fact I would almost bet money we could darn near put on a full program for one day this summer on one of their weekends that isn't a special event. I will call them tomorrow. I know who to talk to. It would take at least ten racers to do this 15 would be better as that small oval is i am guessing 550 ft. by at least 50 to 60 feet wide.

lets do something soon im getting bored allready.When do they start racing down south/ROAD TRIP

LPR Montgomery, Al.
Where have you been? We will close our 2009 racing season this Saturday with our last club race and do a double A set up to make up a raindate.. See you can come down on Friday. Practice and race Saturday. Then Pack up and drive down to NW florida for the Snow Ball Derby Race on Sunday.
Heck just make a weekend of it, at least when you go home racing might be the Last thing on your mind for a while. Well at least for two or three days at least.

Racing seasons from March to December ain't it a BLAST!

Alabama Do Not Rub It In Please Lol

Chuck Count Me And Howard In For The Philly Race. Thats Sounds Like A Blast.
2000 Foot Track Would Be Cool. Might Need Binoculars To See Cars. Lol

Maybe We Could Run At Sharon Also 1/4 Mile Track. Woooo Hooooo Would Need To Draft.

1/5 Scale Got To 95 Mph On A 1/5th Mile I Think It Was. 1/4 Scale May Do That Also.

Anyone Know Where I Can Get Modified Bodies For 5b????? Wish Some One Made Modifed Bodies For 1/4 Scale.

Hey butch that bragging may have jinxed them they might be eating slightly frozen crow with a side order of some good ole snow cream this weekend LOL

That would be awesome if we just had racers from freddies it would work,it would be cool to race under the lights. We would be able to use a trailer or flat bed truck as a temporary drivers stand

I would be glad to help

Dan - It would take more than two of us............We'll see who's all interested in this closer to spring......

What night does Midvale race on? Also, does Midvale Speedway have a car show somewhere (mall) before their season starts?
