TerryI#6 11-09-2009, 07:20 PM I was wondering are we running track fuel for all classes? Can I buy some from the club?
Slider 11-09-2009, 08:11 PM Terry Please click on lagoon in Daniel's post. It states fuel will be provided for 1/4Scale. Cannot answer if some will be available for sale.
Mike Clark 11-10-2009, 12:54 AM I was wondering are we running track fuel for all classes? Can I buy some from the club?
I am sure there will be some for sale at the track. I always carry a few extra gallons.

Mike Clark 11-10-2009, 01:39 AM All Racers,
The BHMASR is two weeks away. Get your car ready and come on down to Lagoon Park Raceway in Montgomery, Alabama. The track will be open for practice on Friday with lunch being served at the track. Burgers & Dawgs will be the fair so come hungry and bring a good setup and some drinks.
Now we tried making all you Northern racers feel at home last year with the freezing temps but that ain't happening this year, temps should be low 60's to mid 70's and sunny.
So grab you trailer, racing partners, hook em up to the truck and come on down on Friday. Power hook ups are available but if you need to run the A/C, crank your generator, please.
Sportsman if you want a chance to race aganist the best well they'll be here. The top five racers from the NCS series should be racing.
Hopefully the GN guys will show up just like they did last year and put on a driving clinic.
The Super Trucks will be burning off their tires just getting around LPR and making some fast laps to boot. One of the most watched races and crowd pleasers from last year.
The Sprinters should be here as well, what a show they put on last year.
The Limited Sportsman put on a Great show last year and this year should be no different well maybe exceptional!
The GASCAR 1/10 NITRO racers will be there. If you have not seen these cars with the new engines well you better hold on to your hat, these guys are faster! Besides the 1/4 scale racers will be the turn marshalls for this race and there inlies more excitement. Concrete feet and fast cars don't mix.
A good time will be had by all and a great benefit for Boyd's family so hopefully we will see you there.
All I ask is you drive Safely coming and going to the track and have a good time racing. See you in two short weeks.
Tim Mc 11-10-2009, 01:52 AM I believe the Hughes family will be serving some great food on raceday too!
GILYHANTREE 11-10-2009, 03:55 PM any fast cars coming???? just curious wondering if it would be worth my time to take the old lightning out for one more fast day a the race track!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike Clark 11-10-2009, 05:04 PM any fast cars coming???? just curious wondering if it would be worth my time to take the old lightning out for one more fast day a the race track!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now you know all the fast cars will be there!
GILYHANTREE 11-10-2009, 08:38 PM i know the hueytown gang will have some fast hotrods.
1Starpower 11-10-2009, 09:38 PM my wall killer is back in one piece, hope its fast enough
Tim Mc 11-10-2009, 09:40 PM Since you mentioned wall... how's the soft wall holding up down there? Is it ready for a new front sheet? I've got an awesome video from the NCS of a head-on collision that both the car and the wall survived!my wall killer is back in one piece, hope its fast enough
1Starpower 11-10-2009, 09:58 PM don't know about the soft wall, I found that harden reinforced section off of 2 wide open the last time I was down
warwagon 11-10-2009, 10:00 PM Tim the wall is great, checked it out personaly last SAt, still working to perfection!
1Starpower 11-10-2009, 10:57 PM for those spending a night or two, looking at the rates on Yahoo travel, the LaQuinta Montgomery has rooms for 49 a night. La Quinta on Carmichael(next door) shows for 55. Both are on the south side of I-85 exit 6 or 3 miles south of the track. I stayed at the cheap on last year and it was alright for the price. I think they had a remodel earlier this year about the same time of the ncs race and those staying there was bumped over to the other. I think FastEddie can comment on both of them
Tim Mc 11-10-2009, 11:16 PM LOL... I've been there myself. At the NCS, I got rolled then ended up into it. I'll see about puttin the video up of Orin's head-on if I can figure out how to rip it off the dvd.:thumbsup:Tim the wall is great, checked it out personaly last SAt, still working to perfection!
1Starpower 11-11-2009, 04:41 PM always use the redneck video ripper Tim
play it on the tv and videotape it, :tongue: lot of that on youtube
Slider 11-11-2009, 05:18 PM Sounds like more trouble than it's worth. We all know what a crash looks like. LMBO!!!
Tim Mc 11-12-2009, 07:21 PM LMAO ... I damn near puked when I read this. I have to be honest, I did record something off the TV with a video camera about ten years ago...LOL.
The video I have is taken from pitroad and his car going directly into the soft wall. Shows a pretty solid lick that in most cases a chassis would be wasted. I'll try to get it up on our site soon.
always use the redneck video ripper Tim
play it on the tv and videotape it, :tongue: lot of that on youtube
Sonny B 11-14-2009, 04:06 PM Looks like I will be able to make it down next week. Does anyone have an extra Sportsman air filter adapter that I could purchase or borrow for the weekend?
Tim Mc 11-14-2009, 04:08 PM Sonny, that should not be a problem since we primarily run Sportsman only. :thumbsup:Looks like I will be able to make it down next week. Does anyone have an extra Sportsman air filter adapter that I could purchase or borrow for the weekend?

Mike Clark 11-17-2009, 11:14 AM Yes you can drop your trailer. There will be racers staying overnight at the track.
Sonny B 11-17-2009, 12:22 PM Any hotel recommendations?
1Starpower 11-17-2009, 12:54 PM for those spending a night or two, looking at the rates on Yahoo travel, the LaQuinta Montgomery has rooms for 49 a night.

they are just down the road from the track, lots of food places. Everything else is gonna be more money.
TerryI#6 11-17-2009, 05:57 PM Yes you can drop your trailer. There will be racers staying overnight at the track. Mike, will I be able to run some power to my trailer over night? Or do I need to find my own source of juice? Terry
stivy 11-17-2009, 06:08 PM Mike, will I be able to run some power to my trailer over night? Or do I need to find my own source of juice? Terry
Same here...I'm thinking about camping.
warwagon 11-17-2009, 07:04 PM You should not have a problem with our power with the air temps down. When you first enter the gate to your right there is a power pole with plugs. But don't worry we will get ya hooked up! YALL have a safe trip!!!!!

stivy 11-18-2009, 07:14 PM Man, I am sure trying to make it to this race. Fate doesn't want me to make it. I've been battling maintenance issue's with my trailer for the last couple of days. Hard to believe that I can't get the part I need in Florida. I had to have the part sent in from Georgia. If I can't get the part put on Thursday, then I'll have to do it on Friday. Then I won't be able to make it to the race. Do you think that D.O.T. would care if I don't have trailer brakes????????:mad::mad::mad::mad:
willyplankhead 11-18-2009, 07:35 PM That would fall under the don't ask don't tell Bob lol
