PGOOGS WROTE: Remember bigger, "better" and newer aren't always the best!
You could always move River Junction to the Youngstown/Warren area. You'd still be an hour from Beaver PLUS an hour from Akron and the biggest plus for us up here, You would be local. Just something to think about.

well the extra hour drive to Washington should not be that bad for you being that you only show up once a year!!!!!!!!

Hey John,
I got the snowbirds dimensions if you want em for the new oval track.

Infield - 67' long x 16' wide
Straights - 12' wide
Turns - 14' wide
Outside track 95' long by 40' wide

Approx center line - 180', approx runline 165-170'

Now that would be a kickbutt oval track !!!

Build it and they will come, LOL

Who's in Saturday?

Dress Barn Raceway? Just because Racer D. beats the pants off the competition, I'm not Racin in a dress...

Why stop now?

Exactly which Washington mall is this in? The big mall or Franklin mall?

Next to Home Depot, or across the hall from Aron's Washington Mall Raceway (the old Courtview Raceway)

So thats Franklin mall, right?

Haha... this is in the "Washington Mall", which is next to Home Depot as Snookie put it so boldly. It is directly off of I-79/I-70, Rt. 19. NOT the Franklin (now Crown Center) mall. I guess I need to put GPS coordinates on our website as I did with the MD shop. Stop in and check it out... as it is changing daily. Our doors are always open whether we are selling stuff or not. (we should be selling next week) We will begin to work on the Tracks sometime in July so now is your chance for input and help! :thumbsup:

my 2 cents as far as the oval long as you can with the turns a littel wider then thay are at beaver maybe 2 feet and the loop under the carpet

and if the roof is high a driver stand that is at least 4 feet high

here comes the wings :wave:

I might have missed something here. John are you going to be running the new Washington store and Beaver? I was thinking you weren't involved with the new store and if RJ was to shut down I was offering suggestions (self serving as they may be). Mike, you're right I haven't raced at Beaver much this past year because I got into the Indy car thing at Classic. I personnaly think River Junction is a nicer, friendlier and more relaxed place to race than Classic. If moving the track helps business and more racers are in that area, then go for it. I wish John and Sam all the luck in the world.

Hey, thanks for your concerns. River Junction WILL REMAIN OPEN, at least for the immediate future unless business dictates that it close, which the decision for that will be AFTER SUMMER and well into the Fall season. Yes, Paul, I will be split into 3 parts, actually. I (obviously) have the Beaver store to be at, plus, the Washington store (more hours there), and then I ALSO work at www.supplementcentral.com to help with warehouse and shipping duties- this is in the mornings from 8-12 or so. This multi-tasking is because the mortgage never stops, and I must do what I can to keep the building/business open. I hope to be issued a cell phone in the near future, where (if you need to ) I can be contacted directly at any time. We'll see, since that would be another expense that is not needed right now.
Eric, thanks for the dimensions, and we'll see what we have when the "skirts" have gone.... As far as the "build it and they will come" adage, I have (over the years here in Beaver) believed it less and less. We have had a number of successful (AND FUN) races, but not to the level that we should with the atmosphere, location, and accomodating people that we have here in Beaver. I hope that the "Steeler's" connection and the media blitz that will be happening in the future will reverse this direction. We'll see. Thanks to all, and be sure that I WON'T give up too easily, unless I hit the lotto or something :jest: John @ RJ :wave:

Dress Barn Raceway? Just because Racer D. beats the pants off the competition, I'm not Racin in a dress...

Hey Snook,I bet the dress barn is having a "going out of buisness" sale. :devil:

oh ya presto forgot about him lol the good old ( i cant go presto ) l :roll: l

:jest:

I'm still racing...

Snook,call me .I found a Fantom lathe$325,supposed to be like new.

Where did everyone go?
Can't race by myself...

we all are giveing you a chance to win

Your making me feel bad Snook :(
I would love to race carpet once in a while in the summer,but noone else is there!
I don't know what happened,I tried to get some interest in another stock shootout,but there was no response :confused:
I am having a good time running off road,if you want to come I'll hook you up with any class you want to try.
If you still have my number,call me.
Or e-mail me
dburns@telerama.com

Well if beaver is closed I guess my stuff will be going up for sale on hobby talk. Stay tuned for a huge list of high end stuff.

Wayne,
You can always come over and race with us at Classic, always welcome brotha !!

If you do decide to sell anything, email me the list before posting it up here.
Looking for a T35 and Tire Truer.

For some reason nobody wants to race at the BEAVER, now I'll drive 1 hour to race in Washington full time.

I would love to still be racing in Beaver.

Summer racing has always died at beaver. Then it pics up in the fall. Sure thing eric, I have some stuff im sure you'll be interested in. I would love to come to classic but with my work schedule it would only be possible like 1 time a month and to be compeditive i would have to race more than that. Beaver was close and if i worked daylight i could still make it. No way of doing that now that Washington is 1hr away. Oh well it was fun while it lasted. I get that list up soon. I still gotta repo some stuff off mike.

I agree summer racing dies at just about every indoor track, but this sounds like the end has come.

Hey guys
I know some of you were looking to race. Classic is having a big race on Sept 18, on our asphalt track. We are still running foams so your tires will work. Also we are having a Bombers class, which is a hoot out on the asphalt. I know you guys got into the Bombers class late in the season so bring em out. Plus for this race there is no ROAR/NORCCA/ARCOR membership required !!!

Classes that will be offered:
4 cell stock - no quad magnet motors allowed
4 cell 19T - ARCOR style motor
4 cell mod
4 cell Indy - Any Modified motor allowed
1/10th Nitro Touring Car
4 cell Bombers - Pre 1960's body, Trinity Spec Motor, Trinity spec 1600mah battery, 120T spur gear, any brush, 5" min roofline

Hope to see you there.

eric give me a call tommoro

Big Mike- do you have a PR-7? Call me. :)

Mike did you post that before or after I talked to you yesterday??

LOL

Who's ready to start racing?

Me, Me , Me..........

I'm ready for a little carpet action!
Is the track ready?

Bags and myself are ready. Rev'in Keven said let him know when.I'm sure we can track down Joe. Allen always up for the challange. Any other takers?

Is the new track ready? Is this going to be on Sat.?

What new track?
Who wants to race naxt weekend with ME?

Snookie - I'm guessing that some people are thinking that you're talking about the "new" Washington location. You might want to clarify which track you're talking about.

If you're talking about racing next Friday evening at Aaron's, I'll try to make it.

Thanks

Kevin

Panman, go to hear from you.
Only 2 tracks open that I know of,
Yes I'll be racing at Aarons ( Washington Mall Raceway) Friday the 13.
Tring to get 2 dozen of my racer friends to race The Raceway in Bever on the 14 or 15. And yes Allan is also invited...

Any of the PA guys making it over to Classic for our big race on 9/18?

I just built a Bombers car last night. Can't wait to run it, hope to see some other Bombers there.

It's an awesome class and really looks cool under the lights.

Might even have to get Meatstick to come over, I heard he got banned from Jack's track, LOL

Is the raceway in beaver still open or able to host racing?

How late does the Washington mall Raceway, run into the night?

Do they still run Legends?

Tom, I have been asked by a number of people if they could "rent" the track facility here in Beaver, and have agreed to it. So, ask Snookie the particulars so we'll both know when............. :tongue: Thanks to all who have been concerned about the future of the Raceway, and of Sam and myself. More to come ;) John @ the former RJ :thumbsup:

Snookie......What's Up? I'm ready to race!! Car is FAST !! With the tuning and testing last week at Aarons in Washington, I'm ready for to race with you Saturday the 14th in Beaver....Who else is up for it? 4 cell stock, Bombers??? I'm ready to ride the train...

Yes. I'm looking to find 16 to 24 racin buddies to race at Bever.
Which day would be best for a good turnout? Sat 14 or Sun 15?
Onroad racers, 12 scale OVAL is a very FUN class to run. COME ON DOWN.
Bombers should be there in force. They put on a great show...

Definitely cannot make Saturday the 14th. As a matter of fact, I can't make ANY Saturday in August - other commitments. Sundays will be 50/50 - maybe yes, maybe no.

Kevin

We could make any sat. That would be me, my son, and a freind, all racing oval and maybe 1/10th scale touring if time permits. How much would this cost us? What time of the day would we be starting?

Sunday's are best for me.
Depends on which Saturday it will be wether I can make it or not.
I'll run any class you need me to run.

erock 1331. i did not get banned from jacks i just did not go back.

Snooki,
I am ready to race after beating Steel City Hobbies at the drag race on Sunday. I have more power than I know what to do with!!! So bring it on Snook!!!

:mad:
