sorry bill i can handle bear whooping me but you? ouch the words retirement echo through my head...lololol j/k new track, new racers, new rules...i figure i am laps off the pace. i'll try and stay out of bears way! and joe i agree with bear spec cars are toys! he he he he bricks with wheels. i need adjustments and i cant stand stick packs! :o

Just come on up- you'll have fun.I might get lucky and see your retirement?After all your famous and I got your autographed article.the next article for Rev-up is just around the bend."Katfish retires"????????

Katfish,
You might not say that after you drive one of my BRD powered spec rockets! They may be "ILL handling" (Per Joe Malon) But they are butt loads of fun! I'm in the process of building a palm vally speedway special as we speak!

Bullfrog,
When you gonna stop watching thr grass grow with your thunder truck and add 2 cells to race with the big boys. There outa be a good turn out for spec at tuffy's bring your spec and will fill you in on the rest.
Greg :freak:

Thunder Trucks only run on 4 cells- sorry those aren't my rules.This is the way they were run In Tampa.

You gonna bring your spec sunday Bullfrog? :tongue:

bill i will have a 10L4 conversion with me. the chassis and bumper 6 cell..do you want to make a purchase? i'll bring it up just in case..it would convert your 200mm/onroad/touring car/oval car to a full blown race car. i'll make ya a good deal..no joke

The real scary thing is Bullfrog getting over his distain of oval,now that he likes it,one thing I can say for sure,is that I have had the chance to drive a couple of Bill's rides,and he sets them up to be real smooth! With all of his years in this R/C deal,he could be a factor in anything he races,Tom as well,has done well on the speedway,in time,all of the classes at Tuffy's should be real interesting,as well as alot of fun!

when is the touring car track going to be ready?

i'm surprised ol man bill doesn't use a cadilac body and run curb feelers! lol it's good to see bill enjoy oval racing..like i said it only took him half his lifetime to figure out oval is where it's at. it must kill him to think about all the good time he has missed ..waisting all that money and time on touring cars and other junk. i will say this though..if i couldn't race oval..i would have to pick 12th scale onroad only on carpet 4 cell 19 turn. that is a great class..

Katfish - Thanks but I've got to wait on the new Racetech ride.
Metro- I'll bring the spec truck.
Thanks for the nice words Joe but my oval knowledge is limited.Both Tuffy and Ernie helped me out after last Sundays races. The new set-up should be interesting. :thumbsup:

hey Kat whenb the carpet comes I will be doing the annoucing so i won't be able to run my 12th scale. it is a good car and took the b at the birds. it was fast enough to sit like 4th in the a but hey my wheel melted 8 mins is a long time. you welcome to try it

hey dave i may take you up on it for one race? very nice of you to offer me the wheel..i realy do like 12th on carpet i dont think it gets any better. than again i just like carpet! you have quality cars bro!

hey dave i may take you up on it for one race? very nice of you to offer me the wheel..i realy do like 12th on carpet i dont think it gets any better. than again i just like carpet! you have quality cars bro!


12th scale is where I started racing so it is my favorite. If my touring car and 12th scale car need something and I have only the money for one then the 12th gets it. I am getting a new chassis for it (4 cell) and some other things it will be ready for carpet. and Kat you let me wheel your oval car once.

it might rain friday night and if it does I will be at tuffy's to race the oval car

see yah soon


Dave

News flash: the ROAR paperwork is done and probably next weekend we'll start requiring ROAR membership to race.
A special newsflash: We are supposed to have some spectators coming by this weekend.For us oldtimers you'll reconize the names and faces when they are there- I hope.They were well known at the Whip and around here.I believe they both have hung up their gear but maybe they'll be coming back real soon. :wave: :confused: :thumbsup:

i'll bet there's a Bucci creepin round @ Tuffy's? .... :D

Wrong answer. He's been hanging around since we started.They aren't from jacksonville.

:lol: ...oops....so much for my guess..... :jest:

To give you a hint: If you look on a map from where you are(C'Dog) they live to the left. I heard one of them lives in a famous southern General place and the other lives south of Jacksonville where they have the Azela festival.

Mike Kohler and Bruce Bunch

WOW.... mike kohler there's a name i haven't heard in quite awhile....WHEW....i remember racing him at the st. augustine flea market track over 10 years ago..... and him smokin me :dude: .....lol.... and bruce bunch... man.... these guys were always fast!

hey tuffy this is tim you might n ot remember me but we practiced and raced together at cpt along with your uncle i think his name was leroy great guy even if i got his name wrong lol if ya dont mind id love the oppurtunity to go to your track ill will leave ya my email if you would let me come if not i understand lol your a great driver i need you lol to get competitive lol thanks tim dorkscomputers@attbi.com :wave:

wow! bear got real angry at us! he went out and set a new track record! fun fun fun i need more laps around that track! did i mention it has lights? and you can see your car at night? cool track great people who race there. leon and tuffy went out of there way to make the racers happy. we even got to watch nascar! woooooo

Kat-
Darn it! I guess I missed out on that one! As soon as I got into the car,it started raining again! Oh well! Sorry I didn't get to race w/ you guys-let's try again next time! Bear only gets faster if anyone even gets 5 sec closer to his record! :lol:
-George

katf1sh,glad you made it to Tuffy's! Tuffy,Mr.Leon,and the Carrigg family in general are among the finest people in town! They have built a totally awesome facility,impressive from the first visit! Oh yeah,Bear is real tough,no matter where he races. it's alot of fun there,even the Legends cars!

Well I testeded spec cars out at tuffy's and they actualy hook up real well! So in 2 weeks when we run again spec and 4-cell stock for me! My new spec car is working real good I should be able to have a better showing than I did last fri at hw.
Greg :freak:

had a lot of fun yesterday with kat comming up.i love my new car!my adx and i have to do some soul searching.lol 2 new track records for the new car.4 cell stock and 19turn.that car drives like a cadillac.later bear

You forgot to say Tom set the recond with Legends with 53 laps( that was with the new 1300's I sold him 3 weeks ago).Great driving Tom.

maybe there was something in the water? i got to pit with ernie and found out he is not a bad guy. from what boylan told me i thought i was gonna be in for a long day! lol if you get a chance to make it up there that track is very cool...and way different from the flat ovals we have around here. i had to go back to the days of whip and re think everything. the day turned out good for all of us. hey bill...joe momma told me the track records were set because you just did the scoring? what did he mean by that? he he he bill has some good legends packs and motors..zoom zoom zoom :tongue:

Go figure I can barely run the computer and now I supposed to add laps?Weren'tyou watching me try to add a racer?Anyway there won't be any racing at Tuffy this Sunday- They are going to the GatorNationals.And you know what so bad -yesterday was so lousy and today its beautiful. I think we should change Sundays to Mondays like today. :thumbsup:

we got to race, have fun and watch nascar! it dont get any better bill! i'm going to get my cars ready for daytona! 2 weeks and counting!

sharabber,39/108 @ hobby world and 37/108 @ tuffys.....bear let me know if you need any help

THANKS BEAR ANY ONE KNOW THE SCHEDULE FOR DAYTONA THIS WEEKEND FOR BEANS RACE?THANKS TIM :wave:

Tim If your going to Daytona - in the past you have to get there early inorder to get in. Like 6 - 7 a.m.. Otherwise your likely not to get in.Your going in the same gate as people walking into the event - cars and people don't mix and the track guards????

bill relax bear,bob and tuffy got there thursday afternoon. they are staying in the infield in tuffy's rv. tim friday practice till 1 pm one round of qualifiers on friday and maybe 3 rounds on saturday. mains on sunday. we have to leave the speedway everyday by 6 pm.

Well I will be upgrading the Legends rules since somethings are just hard to get right now.We will be changing the tire rules as well as a motor or battery claiming rule (new). We will also not allow any extra things on the car. The new rules should be ready for this weekends event.

THIS WEEKEND EVENT WHERE?ALSO CAN I USE MY 8 DOUBLE MOD MOTOR THANKS TIM :wave:

where do you think? and you can use that motor in anything you like to ---in practice.See ya.............

What's happening at the track: well it will be closed for two -three weeks.They will be redoing the pit area - it's moving Leon wants his work shop back.Now if you want to help I'd say the next several weekends the 13th and easter(?) 20th they will be working on the pit area.You can get ahold of Tuffy for the work schedule.
As for me I actually getting a real oval chassis to race- What kind????
See you at the track.......

Bill, I highly recommend the ADX conversion ..... you have all the important stuff ...... front suspension and axles etc. Bear runs real well at Tuffy's with his adx...... so you'll have some help. Give it a try.... :thumbsup: FYI Bigdogrc sells the adx conversion... :D

bill i know the dealio on bolink! i heard rumor all team drivers get an adx chassis to race with. hey dog bear runs ok with his ksg!

ill tell ya what right now the ksg is a great car as well as the adx but leading egde is comming on very strong my drving has improved so much since i had this car wish i used it at the birds :thumbsup:

Bears running strong with the KSG but I'm a Bolink kind of guy. It's hard to go to anything else.I was close to getting the KSG car but was talked into maybe a ADX or Ass.L4.Then I was told that I've got a Bolink chassis coming.It should be here this weekend.It's last years car with the new new car coming when it is done.So I'll be driving the Mac Attack.I'm happy because I've been driving their cars since 1991 and it's hard to get something else.I am looking for the KSG rear steer pod plates.Anyone know where to get them?
You know I can't get over racing Oval and enjoying it. The key is the guys racing it - where all old friends.I don't miss not racing in the series anymore.But you will see me at a few this year (orlando).Thanks guys.

Update:The work day went good. The new pit area is 50% there. The walls and doors are in place. There is still plenty of work to do but it's going to be nice. It will be A/C with a Tv and more. The infield now has grass (3+ pallets worth).The drivers stand will be extended later.the computer station to be added later in turn one.Now for the other great news: We will be racing Satuday night under the lights. Look for racing to start around 4-5 p.m.(depending when I can get there).
