View Full Version : New Off Road Track in Fort Wayne blueracer55 04-29-2004, 11:29 PM hey baron hows it been goin' man. when is the next time ur in indy. i need some vinyl done. let me know; paul redbaron 04-30-2004, 10:28 AM Paul, WHAZZUP! Got your track going? I think I'm off to Indy....feeling a little raced out though. shoot me an email on what you need. Thanks, John www.evo-grafix.com evografix@hotmail.com blueracer55 04-30-2004, 10:51 AM yip it's goin. but i'm not discussing it on someone elses thread. man ur sight is pretty pimp. u should check ours out. shadow made a hell of a graphic for the site. i'll see ya in indy soon. paul huntington :cool: redbaron 05-01-2004, 02:15 AM :cry: ................... adonovan 05-02-2004, 11:54 PM Well since it rained last Sat. and it was still raining when I left around 12:30pm did they hold any races on Sunday? airborn 05-05-2004, 07:41 PM I think they did I stoped by for a second ot drop something off and there was a few guys there.. This sat looks to have rain as well that sucks seth airborn 05-07-2004, 01:17 AM well it looks like Rain on Saturday.................... what will we do? seth airborn 05-07-2004, 07:10 PM Is Any One On This Board Any More? Dale? Any One? Seth ovalrookie 05-07-2004, 09:24 PM ya but all we can say is this........ rain sucks cory30 05-08-2004, 08:09 PM For all you that wanted the DIRT OVAL,where were you today? The off-road track was shortened to put the oval in and not one single oval car there today.Being a off-road guy this is a little upsetting.That's all I have to say! nate 05-08-2004, 09:20 PM Beautiful day for racing. Off road track was not as easy as it looks. Certainly keeps you on your toes. All we need now is for everyone to come out and join in! I agree with cory30 regarding the dirt oval. Perhaps travel plans for Mother's Day kept some away but next week lets hope the turnout improves. scorgon 05-08-2004, 11:45 PM guess there is too many ovals to choose from now...school yard, velodrome, advance, summit...hope they don't all race on the same day. blueracer55 05-09-2004, 01:23 AM does ur d.oval run sat. or sun.. i'm not trying to step on toes. i think u guys run sat. and also planet. so to help the other tracks out we are doing sundays. nate 05-09-2004, 09:26 AM Both the offroad and dirt oval run on saturday. Practice starts at 9 and racing starts at 12. blueracer55 05-10-2004, 12:56 PM i hope u guys get a better turn out this weekend. was it lack of communication or what.... :confused: i'd hate to see all that hard work not being taken advantage of. funny how everyone wants something, but they won't help or show,lol. :mad: sheath 05-12-2004, 11:14 AM Opening day, May 1, was rained out. The forecast looked questionable on the days before May 8, so I think it kept some people away. It turned out to be a great day of racing. This weeks forecast is again a little iffy, but I encourage people to come out anyway. The revamped track handles rain great. After all night showers earlier this week, I stopped by at lunch time the next day to take a look, and the track was in great shape. No standing water, no mud... looked to be ready to run on right then. Track is open at 9 AM, racing at Noon this, and every Saturday. I haven't made it out to race personally yet, due to family events, but hope to as soon as possible. redbaron 05-12-2004, 12:34 PM blueracer55, How true! :( Time will Tell........I know I'm still bummed out. airborn 05-12-2004, 01:13 PM i WAS A LITTLE BUMMED THAT WE DID NOT GET TO RUN OVAL ON SAT, AND I AM NOT A OVAL GUY BUT WHEN I STARTED RUNNING MY RALLY SET UP CAR AROUND THE DIRT TRACK IT STARTED TO GET ME EXCITED ABOUT OVAL. I HOPE WE GET TO RUN IT THIS WEEK. SETH redbaron 05-12-2004, 03:20 PM The thing I don't understand is there were enough guys there to run one heat of oval and no one did. cory30 05-12-2004, 08:55 PM If nobody show's for oval in the coming weeks,you take out the oval,put in a nice some what technical off-road track lots jumps and turns.Then start the show on time and they will come. just my thought, Cory cory30 05-12-2004, 08:57 PM Mr. boggs, how are you centari5000 05-12-2004, 11:36 PM I must agree with cory. the track needs to do what is gonna bring racers. if oval is gonna flop then turn it back into offroad. granted I have not been up to race yet but I will want to start hittin the dirt in the next couple of weeks. yes the races need to be more scheduled for time. if we are to start at noon then start at that time. I will be willing to help as much as I can when I come up to race just as I did last year but I am not gonna bust my hump to get an hour late start and wait 3-4 mins between races. lets set a time and stick to it. scorgon 05-13-2004, 12:22 AM remember there was enough oval racers to justify messing up a great off-road track...guess they forgot they were supposed to show up and race.. XXX-Fan 05-13-2004, 12:59 AM What tires seem to work on the offroad track? I have a T4 and would like to come over and race with you guys. Thanks, Randy wallyworld 05-13-2004, 01:48 AM Starting this saturday sign-ups will end at 11:30 am. Anyone signing in after that will miss the first round of qualifying. If for some reason you can't make it early enough you are welcome to call in and we will sign-up for you. We will need your frequency number and personal transponder number if you have one. This and other things are being done to make certain we start the races on time. Centari 5000 you are right, if we say the racing is to start at noon we have a responsability to do just that. centari5000 05-13-2004, 09:03 AM mr boggs will be doing much better once he gets moved into his new house and can start racing. hopfully this weekend if mama doesnt put the smack down and make me finish packing :freak: redbaron 05-13-2004, 12:39 PM [QUOTE=XXX-Fan]What tires seem to work on the offroad track? I have a T4 and would like to come over and race with you guys. Tires that seem to work the best are, Losi Red IFMAR's or Proline Holeshots on the rear. Losi Directionals or Proline Edge on the front. redbaron 05-13-2004, 12:43 PM scorgon, E-mail me on a good time to call you. sheath 05-13-2004, 12:44 PM xxx-fan, Holeshots in the rear and directional ribs in the front is a good starting setup. The track is hardpacked clay. sheath 05-13-2004, 12:48 PM Not bad... see Red, I learned a little last summer. By the way, I have completely forgotten where to start with gearing for my XXXT. Where would I start with a Monster stock? redbaron 05-13-2004, 01:06 PM Scott, 16/86 all day long! Red springs on motor...not Blue sheath 05-13-2004, 01:30 PM John, Thanks. So it's red springs in the Losi, and if I would run it in an Associated it would be blue springs, right? ;) he he he. I ran the truck last night at home with an MVP in it, and on a guess, went with a 20/86. Seemed to run strong and didn't get too hot. I knew I couldn't gear a monster that high. redbaron 05-13-2004, 05:29 PM 20/86 sounds like oval gearing. :drunk: centari5000 05-14-2004, 08:59 PM roll call who all's racing tomarrow. gonna try to make it this weekend and see if I can keep it of its top sheath 05-15-2004, 07:42 AM I'll be there late, but I'll be there. NO RAIN in the forecast, but cool and cloudy. The track should remain in prime condition all day. blueracer55 05-16-2004, 09:55 AM how did it go yesterday guys? cory30 05-16-2004, 12:12 PM Two oval guy's,and one was the owner.Then 8 or 9 truck's.That's it,my opinion is back to off-road only,but who am i to say! my two cents, Cory Richardson airborn 05-16-2004, 12:36 PM hey i was running oval too. seth cory30 05-16-2004, 08:50 PM Sorry about that Seth,the dominators stuck in my head.Still it's not a good showing centari5000 05-16-2004, 09:09 PM I am not gonna do any bashin or a thing like that we did have a pretty good truck turn out yesterday. i just want to know where all the oval guys are. the owners put in the oval cause there was some intrest in it. so where are these guys at now. dale and phil plus some of the local racers put in their time to make the dirt oval happen and noone seems to overly interested in runnin on it. I am gonna be truthful here I did not agree with the oval but after some decussions with a couple people i kinda thought it would work out. it has got to be gut wrenchin to the owner to see people ask for something and when they get it blow it off and turn thier backs. I for one do not want to see the track in fort wayne go under but cant see things moving in the right direction if we dont get some racers out there. redbaron 05-16-2004, 10:06 PM I will return as soon as Off-road returns. kgwomack 05-17-2004, 12:41 PM Well here we go again. Everyone is whinning again, or should I say still. Come on John, there is an offroad track here. Maybe it's not perfect, but its an offroad track. Does it really matter if part of it is an oval, everyone races on the same track. Its the same for everyone. True racers race on whatever track there is. Just because the track is not exactly the way they want it, doesn't mean that they don't show up to race. In Nascar there are guys that don't like Talladega, or that don't like Martinsville. But they still race there. They work on it, and get better. Anyone that knows me, has heard me say that I don't care what we race as long as we race. I am not a big oval fan, but I ran it this last year indoor, why because alot of people were doing it, and I just want to race. It doesn't really matter what form of racing. I'm not much into offroad either, but last year I bought a MF truck because it looked fun, not because the track was a certain way. My favorite class is Touring you all know that. But I'll run other classes, and other tracks, ( Even if they aren't the perfect track.) because it WILL make me a better racer overall. So all you so called racers out there, that are waiting for the perfect track go ahead. I'll run on the not so perfect tracks, hone my skills, learn new stuff. Then I'll show up at your perfect tracks and kick your a**es. :devil: but if we aren't careful we all won't have to worry about the track layout because there won't be one. We ALL need to support the track, and give credit were credit is due. Dale and Phil have done alot. Everyone talks about supporting them if they do this or do that. Where are they now? At the lake maybe. Don't ask Dale or Phil to spend money on changes that you all don't support. Honestly, I hate all this contravercy. I just want to race and have a good time. I know we all can't be at the track every week. But all this talk about not showing up because the track is not a certain way. COME ON GUYS :thumbsup: Karl. kgwomack 05-17-2004, 12:45 PM I will be out running the races and racing Saturday. So come on down, may the a** kicking commence. :devil: Karl. P.S. That is a challenge to the real racers out there. Just kidding I'm not there yet. :jest: kgwomack 05-17-2004, 01:01 PM I am curious though, of all the people whinning, who has actually run on the track? Karl blueracer55 05-17-2004, 01:13 PM john, what up little buddy. gotta car i can barrow. i here a chirp about a little challenge. i love a good challenge. i haven't raced off road for 5-6 months. i might be a little rusty lol. paul redbaron 05-17-2004, 01:27 PM Karl......Bla...bla,bla....bla,bla! Nice try though! Paul, do me a favor.....come on up and show these guys! Booohaaaa! scorgon 05-17-2004, 01:54 PM In Nascar there are guys that don't like Talladega, or that don't like Martinsville. But they still race there. If they had to race those tracks every week I would bet they would race somewhere else. They only race there because it is a points championship and they have to race there... blueracer55 05-17-2004, 03:03 PM john, u got the car. i'll get a 2nd mortgage on my house for gas to get up there.lol what do i need 4 the car. i got everything except for a servo..... redbaron 05-17-2004, 03:08 PM Paul, I got Trk, BK2, xx4 Take your pick and I'll watch the spanking begin! kgwomack 05-17-2004, 03:09 PM Scorgon,............Points, points, they race because they like to race. There would be no Talladega or Martinsville if were just because of points. Its still a racetrack, and people show up to race. Oh, John it was not just directed towards you. But,what do you mean Paul come up and show these guys? What about you? Are you scared. Do you need someone else to show us? I thought you were the MAN. Oh, if it helps turnout GREAT. Also, I know I'm not the man in the dirt. but it'll be fun. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
