Gee thanks Scott.
It looks like I'm saying " What is this?"

I couldn't help it, only had a couple hours sleep

So what up for this weekend? Anyone looking to run 4WD again this week? I didn't get to run the main last week, so I need to make up a race.

Immediately after this Saturday's racing, work is to begin on changing the track layout to prepare for next week's Indiana Outdoor Electric Offroad. The new layout will offer a challenge to both local and out-of-town racers, and reduce the "home court advantage". If any racers are able to stick around after the race and volunteer with pulling up the black flex-pipe barriers to clear the track for the bobcat, it would be most appreciated.

Sure wish I can come up for the big race, miss the track and the people. I can't make it but hope to come up before the season is over. Have fun and hope you guys have a great turn out.

Nick Adams

Tomorrow Me, and a few others plan on runnig Mod if there are enough guys, so if you got some motor bring it out to play!!!! We gonna have some fun wit some MODS!!!!

Just got back from the track and everything looks good. Some minor things need to be done to it still. The Tubes aren't down yet but we plan on doing that tuesday. Hope everyone can make it to the race satuday.

Hi guys I'm contemplating running in your trophy race this coming weekend. After a poor performance at the Brickyard Bash at Planet r/c in indy I feel a need for another chance at some hardware.
What tires and foam combo's are hooking up for you guy out there?
Are all the pit spaces indoors? Do I need to bring a table & chair and maybe a tent?
Also what are the hotel rates like at motel 8 or days inn?

Thanks Voodoo...

Voodoo,
Tires being used are Red Big shots, X-2000, stock foams work well.
Truck, IFMAR Pin and Holeshots work with stock foams. It would be great if you could make it!
Motels close to the track...Econo Lodge 260-484-6262 $35-40 a night
Knights Inn 260-4842669 $35-40 a nite
Both Hotels are about 1-1 1/2 miles from track

Hope to see you there. I belive you will like the track. There are alot of indoor tables and chairs. It might not hurt to bring an extension cord and power strip. Outside area available too but you will need to bring a canopy and table and chair for that.

John

The new layout is near complete, just some polishing here and there. After watching Austin run some laps with a 10 double, mod class is going to be fun on this layout.

One other note that wasn't mentioned on the entry form is that the rain date is on the following day, the 15th.

sheath........you have pm

This is the track layout.... I will try to get better pics tomorrow.http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/510/8235Summit_Raceway_001-med.jpg

the track is lookin sweeeeeeeetttt in that picture guys. nice job

Did Summit Raceway ever get there rechargable Track Transponders?
I do not have a Personal Transponder and am afraid this would be a make or break factor as for me being able to come race with you guys this weekend.
Does the Hobbyshop have any Personal Transponders in stock?

VooDoo... :freak:

Voodoo,
yea, they have the rechargables. Last I looked they had 1 personal left.

Redbaron--- Thanks,Things are definatly looking like I will be there in one way or another. Was hoping to be able to come up after work on friday to spend a little time getting aquanted with the Track and its facilities and spend the night to race on Saturday. Or just come up on Saturday morning for the day of. Will know more for sure after midnight Thursday.

The Track looks like it will be very fast. Alot of little straights and quick turns.

See you guys soon VooDoo...

Hey redbaron, Looks like a great race weekend. Hows the track. Fast ?

hay baron ....i talked to Trinity and they said that they will replace the arm !!!!!! wow maybe trinity is not that bad after all....

The track is super fast, Before we were runing on average about 22.6's now I think that we will run about 21.3's (both in stock) I got a chance to run with both a stock and mod. Mod will definetly be fun. Hopefully Scott can get up the new pics that I sent him to put together. After the rain on Tuesday the track looks very smooth. I got up on the first table top and packed it down, it got super hard!!!! SWEET.

Finally, I am going to be able to come run at the Fort! Are you guys going water in between heats or no water at all. Just so I can get an idea what to set my truck up for. I am talking for the trophy race. I have only run my MF2 a few times and love it! No Breakage!! Unlike my T4. That truck is fast but I had durability issues with it. Looks like great weather for racing. Is there electric outdoors incase I want or have to pit outdoors?


Thanks,
Randy

xxx-fan

yes water will be put on track and kept wet for all races and the track will be swept also with the help of the racers. Yes you can pit out side there should be a extention line to run out side on the side walk and tables and chairs can be set up also. I pitted out side all last year and a lot of other guys did too.

VooDoo... :freak:
Summit has two complete sets of rechargables plus personals for sale.

Paul and I headed over to The Fort yesterday to practice. Took a big load of tires to try out. Showed up about 10:30 your time. Went to lunch and to a go-kart track. Came back about 3:00, still nobody. Went home.

The Baron tried to warn us by calling on the phone -- thanks, John -- but we had already left. Oh well. See you Saturday.

dis is gonna be good!

Looks like even Jesse Robbers is coming to the Fort!

Man, if Jesse is going to be there, we all better have our s##t together. What class[s] is he going to run? He is super fast and smooth.

Sorry I couldn't make it up for friday practice :(, I know I could have used the time to find the setup for my B4 . I Plan on using the money that would have been for a hotel room,on getting one of the Personal Transponders, If the shop still has any. Cant find one in Indy. That way I can run with My new body (The one with the EVO Grafix Decals). It looks so good I can't bring Myself to poking a Transponder hole in it.
Hope the shop has plenty of Bigshots in stock, Cant find those in Indy either.

Jesse Robbers normaly runs Modified motors, I've seen him at Planet r/c 6 or 7 times and never seen him run stock.

Hope the weather is good see you tomorrow VooDoo... :wave:

I kind of figured it was mod. The only time I really see him is at nitro races. I just did not know if he was going to run mod truck also? From the looks of practice today, it is mod buggy only.

The Indiana Off-Road champ races were on the 21-Alive 11pm news tonight. For those who missed it there's a possibility it could be on sunday also. Some excellent mod buggy racing footage and shows Redbarren being interviewed. He did an outstanding job.

I did see the new's, I can't believe I am still awake.Great day of racing!

Also, thanks to Greg June for the great job he did as race director, the local club members for all the work they put in and time sacrificed, Nicks Hobby Shop for helping with the trophies and door prizes, and the out of town racers that came in and help provide the outstanding competition that Summit Raceway was fortunate enough to have today.

yes what a day I will remember this race for a long time it had great weather & track conditions, a fun race atmosphear, and every race was ontime every time. It would be hard to ask for much more.

Anyone with any digital pictures of the race that would like to send them to me for posting on the website, we would greatly appreciate it.

Great racin today!

I Know that Off-road racing is not scheduled for next saturday because they got the monster truck event going on.
I would like to know how many want to run on Sunday instead? I was thinking a noon or 1pm start time?
there was also some mention of running mod truck.
I'm up for that or 19 turn truck. Any others interested?

John

sign me up for all of the above

that sounds good to me

Cool! GETT"ER DONE!


BTW, next weekend is not labor day weekend....my bad!

I can do Sunday if it's a go.

me too!

That would be cool Chris, We haven't seen you in a while.

I will double check towards the end of the week.
Anyone else?

I was thinking about doing some jump repair on Saturday also.

Sunday will work for me. Even though I'm having fun with the 4w, mod truck will be a nice change of pace. See you all there!

well it is unofficial but i talked to G-DRIP and he might be there sunday to race ......

Ovalrookie........That would be cool!

Now if we could get Mr. Henderson to come up?

I will find out my weekend schedule for work today, if I don't have to work, Sunday would be fun. I would like to take a step into the mod world if you could help me with a motor...If G-drip is comming out of retirement I would deffinantly want to be there. I will let you know on my status tonight after work when I find out my schedule...

I can be there around noon. Let me know if you nail down a starting time. Is it ONLY mod truck, or will some be running other classes too?

Hey every body,

I'm sorry about the disapointment, But i can't make it this weekend. Had other plans pop up. I think i will be able to make it the week after.

dat's cool! see ya next time.

Jason,
Get that buggy going and come racing with us. We've been having a lot of fun!

Later,
Cory

I can be there around noon. Let me know if you nail down a starting time. Is it ONLY mod truck, or will some be running other classes too?
Scott....I'm sure we'll run whatever we can. Are you wanting to run 4w? I may bring out the Yok for some laps.

If anyone is interested, I have decided to put my Mini-T on ebay since I just got a REVO. Truck is in excellent condition. Here is the link, thanks: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5917305763&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
