Look for more changes in the future.

Thanks for everyone showing up last night at the raceway. I hope everybody had a great time like I did. How about that Pat Hakes and the runaway semi in the second qualifier. Was that insane or what. The funiest part was he so fast with that body on :p . The results from last night and Formula 1 standings are posted on our website already. http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/racewayresults.html

Pending the official stamp of approval from The Commish, I have the F1 points standings updated on the website. www.summitrcraceway.com then click on 'Race Results', then 'Formula 1 standings'.

Pictures!!!.... Where are your pictures?? I'd love to post more racing pics on the website, but I need you to send them to me first. scottaheath@comcast.net

The website looks very nice sheath. The points appear to be correct as well. It has been brought to my attention by Sean that there might be some scheduling conflicts due to the upcoming holidays. Who would want to race Summit F1 points on December 7th and 21st? The alternative is November 30th and December 14th.

Sincerely,
Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

Ohh how I miss the F1!

seth

I am currently working on being able to race Sunday's and I want to race the red car.... If any one wants to do this also just bring your F1 car and lets race! This would be a great way to practice for Tuesday night. This is just a thought I really miss the action of F1.

seth

Tomorrow is round 3 of the Summit F1 points series. Step heavy.

-Sean

is any one interested in running F1 for the new years race? I would like to have a bunch of guys run so that every one that has not seen the f1 cars run will have a chance.

seth

You can count Team Ferrari's #1 driver in that weekend.:p Also there is a thread on the on-road forums now under (New Years Race Weekend). I would like to see people posting on that one if they plan on attending that weekend.

Exciting F1 racing at Summit Raceway Tuesday night. As of last points race, the top 4 drivers were all within 3 points. I didn't think it could get much tighter, but it has. After this weeks racing the top 4 racers are all within 2 points. The points are posted on the website, pending review and approval by The Commish.
The 1/12 stock racing was great too, with the brothers McAffee improving every week. The touring car field was small, but again the racers are improving each race night.
Stop out and get in on the great racing.

Last night F1 was great racin. I'll probably get that XXXS tourin car out for next tuesday. :thumbsup:

If you bring it I will bring the TC3 and run with you. :thumbsup:

If you bring it I will bring the TC3 and run with you. :thumbsup:
There are several "newer" racers with touring cars that will be coming out shortly Chris. Just off the top of my head I can think of 10 guys that are sporadically showing up. Keep showing up and running your TC3 and the class will build itself. You are improving dramatically everytime you are on the track, F1 or TC. Keep it up.

-Sean

Quit lurking and post something Ron...

Ben - clean out the inbox for your personal messages. I can not send you a reply till you do.

Done.

Ron or Lee call my cell. I will be racing in Ft. Wayne this weekend 12/19......

Steve Dunn

Steve, you got PM.

Ron

Ron, Lee, Cleveland, you guys going to make a guest appearance at Toledo this weekend?

Only 2 more Sunday race days left this year before the big New Year's Race.
Come on out on the 19th, or bring your new Christmas toys out on the 26th.
Also, remember Tuesday the 21st will be the final race of the 2004 Formula 1 series. With 2 drivers tied for 1st, and 2 tied for 3rd, this will be the one that decides the drivers championship. The longer 2005 series begins in January.

Ben, what will you be racing Sunday and where will you be?

Seth, will you be there on Sunday to put some shame on the Ferrari name? Get that truck body off of the TC3 and get it ready to go as well.

Matt

Ron,
Didn't make it on Sunday. The roads looked bad up north. Went to Cincy on Sat. had a great time. I will see you this Sunday 12/26.

Steve

Tomorrow will be the final race of the 1st season of Summit F1. I would like your thoughts and comments on how the season went. What do you want changed (aside from the car) and what could be done better from a sanctioning point of view? If you choose not to respond on this forum you can let my field liason, Sean, know about it. I am sure he will be more than willing to listen to your senseless blathering at Peanuts Two.

The second 2004 - 2005 season is due to start on 1/4/5. We will be scheduling out the entire season shortly. I believe the first and third Tuesdays of January through April will be the lineup. We will have to discuss rules changes and number of race drops allowed.

Sincerely,
Vic Mackey

The bump ups for the mains are a good idea. Still would like to see battery stick packs only used.

If you choose not to respond on this forum you can let my field liason, Sean, know about it. I am sure he will be more than willing to listen to your senseless blathering at Peanuts Two.
Sincerely,
Vic Mackey
I am always willing to listen when someone else is buying the beer, and it is always senseless blathering when we are at Peanuts II. I agree with Dale, the bump is working. We just have to be VERY strict about it. There are several other ideas I would like to run by the field as well. Cya tonight. Who is running 12th stock on Sunday the 26th???


-Sean

Ben, will you be racing this coming Sunday?

Sean,
I ran the numbers.... you can still win the championship outright if you win the A-main, and Ben, Karl, Brad and Josh ALL finish 10th or worse. I am mathmatically eliminated unless we get at least 20 entries tonight.

If there are fewer than 13 entries tonight, Williams BMW automatically clinches the manufacturers points.

Congradulations. Looks like karl Womack and his Mc Laren takes Summit Raceway's first ever F1 drivers championship and the Williams cars of Brad Mergy and Josh Monroe takes the team championship. It looks like F1 racing is going to be very unpredictable and challenging which I think can be a good thing. I don't think I have seen RC racers experience having more fun one week and then the next week cursing their cars than over the last few weeks. Thanks Sean for coming up with this F1 idea. I personally am looking forward to the time off during the holidays so I can spend it working on my car and and driving it. Hopefully Seth can come back soon so team Ferrari can do better. See you guys around the raceway.

How about tuesday january 11 for start of F1 season?

If we run on the 11th are we going to run on the 18th then. I personally like the set schedule of the first and third tuesday of the month. How many races are we going to be allowed to drop? Any new rule changes?

-Jason

Hi Jason. I just mentioned the 11th because we are running all weekend and was a little concerned about turn-out. I'm OK with whatever works for the racers.

I'll ask the Commish about the schedule. I think if we skip the 1st Tuesday because of the New Year's race then we could run January's F1 races on the 2nd and 3rd Tuesdays to get back on track for the rest of the season.

-Sean

WOW! What a long race weekend, but it was much needed for me, like a shot in the arm since I have been MIA for the last few monthes.

I had a great two day run trying to get my L4 set up and running good, and then to qualifiey 10th in the A main. I did feel a little bit sad that I wasnt going to run with the guys in the B-main since I was running very close times with them, but after the day was over and I had a little time to think about it, I feel pretty good about that 10th spot in the A-main becaus 17 other guys didnt get it.

I had a great time running the F1 and getting the TQ and the A-main win!!!!! Thanks for all the support Dale, Scott, and Tim.

Any way I hope every one else had a good time as well.

seth

So will F1 points just be the 2nd and 3rd tues this month or every month?
I got my sticker set so it looks like team Renault will be in full colors by the first race.

-Jason

A great weekend of racing to kick off the new year at Summit R/C Raceway! The turnout for this 3rd annual event was the best ever. Special thanks go out to the following companies for providing door prizes to be given out:

OTEC Batteries
Fantom Racing
Horizon Hobby Distributors
Nick's Hobby Shop

You can check out the results by going to summitrcraceway.com, click on 'results' and look under 'Special Races'.
If you didn't make it out to this year's race, watch summitrcraceway.com for upcoming races, and don't miss next year's 4th Annual New Years Race!

Great run, lots of fun. Build it and they will come Dale! 12th scale is finally coming back in Fort Wayne, was it 27 in stock!?! Now we need to find Dan, Mark, Keith and whoever else I can't remember to get them back out there.

Glad my car went the right way when I pulled the trigger, right Ben?

I drink all night and Ron is the one who was sick? I like that trade off. But it would have been more than duct tape to fix that mess on the track.

The Barrons showed up with cars that didn't jump?? John, putting Trinity stickers on a 12L4 doesn't make it a Losi car, no matter how much you squint.

Nothing like being outpaced by a couple of kids and an off-road guy, that hurt. The car was brand new, I only raced on Sunday, I was hung over, the sun was in my eyes, I had a flat tire, (insert generic excuse here)... whatever.

Good times, thanks brothers!

-Sean

That was some great racing

Had a great time! Congrats to all the winners and to Dale and Seth for doing great job keeping the show going, I think we only had 2 small glitches which is very impressive for a two day event.

Hopefully I can talk some sense into my driver so he will remember how to drive and stop dragging that brick :)

I had a good time this weekend!

thanks everyone.
