The news is that at Summit Raceway the off road track is a reality. Sounds like the track is in, the clay is high bite! The track looks has been well planned and their planning on racing in early May from what I have heard. Please spread the word…. I will post more news when I find out more. Until them keep an eye on their web site @ http://hometown.aol.com/sheath9831/raceway.html

The first race for the new track is sceduled for May 11 with May 10 being a practice day. The track is 60 x 125 with elevation changes and several different style jumps to be changed every so often to keep it challenging for the weekly racers. Judging by reviews so far from some of the top area racers it looks like Ft. Wayne is finally going to have a track for the serious racers to compete.

Please keep in mind that even though the track in Fort Wayne will be a great place for the serious to compete. It will also be a great place for the novice off road driver to practice and bring thier skill level out of the box. Well then the skies the limit....
So for all of the younger kids, please remember the novice class. :thumbsup:

Will this Track be racing 4wd Buggys? let me know
Tim

For shur! Talking about 19t or modified motors. What motor do think you would like to run.

No No, modified racing is run what ya brung ! please don't set limits on motors or batteries........no place else does this. Just my spin on it.

No Limit on the motor. Would Be Cool Any Wind you want. i dont like 19 turn spec motors Not when you can make your own go better. Know what i mean. i was just saying batt rule for us that dont run 3000 or 3300 i ant ever Ran a 3000 or 3300 i have ran 2400 for the past few years just my 2 cents

Tim

Does Practice Cost any thing and what time is race time ????
thom

Practice fee is $6 per person on saturdays from noon till 6pm. Racing starts 1pm on sundays. Practice fees sunday will be included in the race fee. Race fees sunday are: $12, second vehicle $8, third vehicle $6. All starting May 10.

i went by the track today seems the fence guys were doin the thing out there hookin up a very nice size fence all around the track to keep ben and his brother carl off the track on the bicycles............... :jest:
:jest:

Sorry MaMA I'z got to go racin on sunday! MaMa Day gonna hav to wait!
Kin I hav $12.00 to go racin?........ $12.00.....whats up wit dat!

From what I heard 12$ isnt that much. You should be happy to support your track, plus youll be cryin when u were such a tight a$$ and the track went under.

ED :freak:

Tim

what class would i run with a 20 turn stock motor form my evader

Will you guys be open the mormail day wkend ?

Wheres the off road pictures?

Ahhh... yes pictures. I said I would get pictures, didn't I. Sorry for the delay. Of course, I left my camera at home today, so Wednesday night I should have some pics posted. Sounds like things are coming together quick. I went by the track Monday at lunch to take a look, and saw the concrete footers poured for the foundation of the drivers stand, but no fence. By the time I got home, I found posts on this thread saying that the fence is going up. By the time I get the pics, there may be a Wal-Mart up next door!! (just kidding about the Wal-Mart) I'll try to get some pictures up ASAP.

Hotrod,
Doors open at 10:00, racing starts at 1:00 PM. 4WD buggies? I hope so... I think it's a great class. Anyone out there reading this that is planning on bringing your 4WD buggy?

From what I heard 12$ isnt that much. You should be happy to support your track, plus youll be cryin when u were such a tight a$$ and the track went under.

ED :freak:


OK, first thing I support the local tracks more than you will ever know.It just seems kind of odd to pay $10.00 to race indoors and $12.00 to race outdoors. And thank you for the complement.

Yes im am.. I cant Wait. XX4 here nothing new. and a Stick Raido Yuck. LOL might try to get raido off a Buddy By then.. Do we need to Bring Tables? or any thing along That Line? Extan cards EXt. Thanks. Cant Wait Also. Any one have a Charger i can use. im picking up some 3000 batts. and i need a charger that will do at least 7 amps to use for the weekend. let me know evan a Tekin BC100l would work

Tim

You are so correct REDBARREN on the comment that you are a big supporter of your local tracks including helping us get our track up and running. :thumbsup: If it wasn't for guy's like yourself the hobby wouldn't be where it is today. I understand your comment about the $2 difference in price. While there are many advantages to our being at a retail shopping center with location, parking, resturaunts, motels, etc. the down side is the expense of leasing the building and property we need to provide year around racing. I hope everybody understands that we still have a large building we still have to pay on all year besides the extra for the off road property. Setting prices for something like this is very difficult to do but I'm sure that everybody that knows us realise that the main reason we are doing this is our passion for the hobby. We will be doing everything that we can to keep the prices down and thanks to the many that helped us out and supported us over the winter season and the help we received so far on the off road track we feel we can make this facility successful so the local off-road and carpet RC racers have the kind of top facility they deserve to race at. Please feel free to comment on any concerns or ideas you may have for Summit Raceway, I can assure you they will all be discussed and taken into consideration. :wave:

Wally- Will you be RAcing This weekend? If so what class. I am Coming with my 4wd Buggy Run Mod.

Thanks
Tim

Tium whats up brother what are we dojng is mom taking us you felling better got my front bacrce ficed ?im comming for the summer lets go raaccccccccinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng
thom

will you guys be done by 6 oclock ???
thom

Wally, Thanks, I didn't want to start any big deal. I don't have a problem paying what ever the amount. I do know that myself and others were basicly wondering why the off road guys had to pay more than the indoor guys. It sounds like it's the same across the board, that all we were questioning. are you getting a xxx4? mine is ready! I won't be able to race this sunday...Got the Mothers Day thing going on.

You need any more help with Drivers Stand? Is water set-up?
Let me know if you need anything.

i can see no One Bringing 4wd Car This weekend :-( wont be cool for me... PLS some one bring one LOL
Tim

Hey hotrod, bring that 4 wheel drive buggy and we'll find somthun for you to race against. Don't have one now but I'm going to order a XXX4 from Nicks hobbies real soon. All my on-road stuff is 4 wheel drive and I've found there's nothin like given it full throttle and have all four wheels pullin like crazy. Better bring that mod motor, this track has a long straighaway with banked turns at each end.

im sure with mothers day beind sunday the crowd will be a lil slim but im gonna run 2wd mod buggy and i think it would be fun to have some 4wd cars out there with us blasting and having fun so i will run with you either way ........... :thumbsup:

Thanks for the offer, I'm going to talk to Joe today and find out the latest. Looks like we're going to have to run on flotation tires :eek: if this rain doesn't let up soon and yes, I'm going to get a XXX4. Got any reccomendations for motors.

Sorry it took so long to answer you. We will be running touring cars on our indoor oval track on friday nights all summer. Rules are stock motor and foam tires. If three or more racers want to do another class that'll work to. :rolleyes:

Should be done by 6pm mothers day. Mama's put a kerfew on most of us since it's her day too! We will be racing Memorial weekend, more details later. ( Hey!!! What's a 20t stock motor?) :eek:

When it comes to RC competition the man from Tennesee knows no fear. ;)

Wally Thats my Bro. he Just Got a Evader. its the Stock motor that comes in them. It will have a Stock motor in it. Ill Bring the 4wd. mine is a XX4 I like it better than the XXX4 Becase its more Balanced out. Sadle packs insted of pack on one side. I got my mod motor Readyyyyyyy I can wind you a Motor. if you like. Thats What i did. Sounds Killer.. Cant wait.

Tim

Be thar or be sqar! Promise pictures of track to be up So-o-o-n. P.S.
