John

going to be more like 74 when we smack down the big 19 turn open power

I'm game, you gotta build my motors though, LOL

Heck he isnt going to be building them Mr. P will be.

Roaddog, I heard him over there last night already beggin Mr. P.
U motor whore. LOL

Next time I will do it right and make you hit Liehr's trailor. LOL

Yeah
email me over how everyone finished.
Later

Hey don't forget to get Rick to bring his trailer over this Sunday for the first SUNDAY OVAL RACE of the "new" season. I'll pay to fix the trailer if someone hits it with their pancar here!! (actually my insurance will, after they fix the hole in the outside wall first!) Hope to see you guys Sunday! Remember...... WE HAVE AIR-CONDITIONING!! John @ RJ :eek:

John,
Can't make it this week. Me, Ricky, Adam Leihr, Frank P. and some of the other Classic guys are going to the Nats in Tennessee all week. Will try and make it out soon though.

Good Luck to all you guys at the Nationals!! Show them what we "Northerners" have for them! We'll be watching the net coverage!!!! :devil:

john any idea whos comming this week

So far, Kevin M, probably Jim O., Jeff S. , Chuck, Frank, Bill S?, and you?, Tom E., Denny & maybe Brian, and possibly Dennis A. from Latrobe. That's all I can say for now, but this is only Tuesday. Hopefully this early change (before Labor Day) will work for us! John. :rolleyes:

i dont no if i can make it i may have to work will not no till sunday

He knows, hes just scared of the new ride :p

ya ya just cuz your low man on the pole and get one weekend offf now you wana talk smack you have nothing for me your only as fast as i make you LOL mmmHAHAHAHAHA

time to wake up.....better have sandy pinch you....muhahahaha

How was the turnout Sunday??

Wayne you got that new ride built yet??

erock1331 - It was VERY disappointing - a TOTAL of 6 cars in 4 cell stock. That's it. No other classes - no other cars - period!

John's trying to do things to accommodate the racers and people aren't supporting him.

Of course, in the fall when THEY'RE ready to race, everyone will expect John to have the track open in tip-top shape and his shop completely stocked. That's tough to do with no income the entire summer! I know we all have things to do during the summer, but we have to support the local tracks year 'round.

Not trying to bash anyone. I just want things to work out for John. He and Sam have done many great things to support the hobby in our area. We need to show our support.

My $.02. Thanks for listening.

PanMan

I would imagine once August is over that more will show up. I'd like to make it over once this month and race with ya'll.

Mike I am out for Saturday at Classic but may be able to make it at Beaver? U racing this Sunday?

ya im going both places

PanMan...thanks for your $.02 , I appreciate all that you & others have done to try to promote our track abroad. I don't know the answer for the poor attendance, but I'm going to do my best to make-up for it this Fall/Winter. Get ready- if we need to, we'll be racin' 24-7!!!!!! Well, not THAT much.... Anyway, with any business one must expect slow times, and usually should be ready for them too. In our case, we work so close to the poor house, that we have it tougher when racing drops off the way it has. But, if you LOVE what you are doing................. Thanks again, and see everybody in the Fall!!!!!!!!! John @ The Raceway :wave:

.........

No not yet eric, but its just about done. I have to work but Im trying to do some some creative scheduling so I should hopefull be there. As for the track support I fully agree. I have yet to go to a track where they go way out of there way to take care of the racer as it is done at River Juntion. Name a track where the winner of every main receives something for winning. A mains receive 10.00 store credit and b,c,d, etc main winners get a free entry, you cant beat that. In my opion John goes way out of his way to help every racer from the one time shopper that just stops in to look to the ones that spend alot of mony down there. I go through sperts where I may only buy 30-50.00 dollars maybe for a couple months, but then there are months that I spend a several hundreds. I can honestly say I try to contribute whenever I can and hope everyone else does. So with that said everyone with Tekin chagers and 2000 packs better run down and buy some stuff :D

Thank you for your kind comments and concerns. Yes, if someone is running 2000 nicads, they should start to think about replacing them.... Hey I STILL USE my 2400's that are 4 years old, re-matched 3x, and are very neglected. For my racing, it doesn't matter.
I have been checking-up on what compounds other tracks are using, and think we need to make some sort of decision before the season starts; I think Jack The Gripper is the best choice for odorless compounds, and that we should start to edge ourselves away form the orange flavored compounds. Thoughts?? Discuss amongst yourselves...
Thanks, John @ The Raceway :wave:

roaddog - well said. No one works harder to please their racers than John and Sam.

I'm guilty of having a Tekin charger, but I'm getting ready to ask John for a price on the new Competition Electronics graphics model. I also go through periods of "low spending", but I try to get everything through John - he deserves it.

I ask everyone to remember how great the racing will be in the fall and winter of this year. It won't happen if we can't lend some support during the summer. We can't make every week, but let's do what we can do.

This is not meant to imply that John and Sam are ready to fold up shop. They're quite industrious and find other ways of making money. It may become apparent to them that they could RENT the track space and make consistent money from the lease. Think about that!

Thanks to all for your efforts in supporting River Junction. We need that raceway!

John
Go with da Gripper. I think it works better than Paragon anyways without the odor. Its the only way to go for indoor.
And your house/hobby area doenst smell anymore too which is nice.
I used it at your track the last time I raced there and it worked good.

Panman
The GFX is an awesome charger. Once you learn the screens its a snap to use.

I tried gripper on my sedan and couldn't tell any difference from what I was allready using.
This summer has been slow,even at the dirt tracks.Turnout is far below even last year let alone 2-3 years ago.I can't explain it,the only observation I've made is the lack of new racers and younger racers.Hardly any folks starting new.What do you guy's think?
Even though I tend to abandon John in Beaver during the summer,I still turn to Sam and John for the best deals in R/C for my offroad parts and supplies.They know I'll be there to stock up for sedan,12th scale and oval in the fall.Many thanks for all the support and advise,from John,Sam,and all the fellow racers at Riverjunction.
Despite the small turnout last weekend,I had a blast getting my "new to me" oval car dialed in.I'll try to make it back in a couple of weeks.
P.S.-Don't forget to bring those sprint cars out(19 turn at the moment).

Ev

Flash! RoadDog seen trying out a new K-9 unit Saturday night at the Raceway!! "Pits Rumor" is that it is a RED parts car, with a YELLOW body!!!! Obviously an under-cover car. He should be running it tomorrow (Sunday) against his ex-sponsor...... :lol: Stay tuned for additional updates, as they enter the news desk! John @ River Junction :p

Had a good time this past Sunday. I wished I would have survived in the main though.
Wayne, your new ride looked good, we just need to get you some mojo in there. Mike is probably holding back again.

Ya hopefully I will get some smokers soon. Mike always holds back so he can keep that #1 position secure :P

Team TWA

well i guess no racen this sun thats ok tho team TWA will be back and strong next week at the short tracks of beavercounty

What exit it this track off of 81 ...SRM :confused:

hummm your way off thay are 40 min north of pittsburgh http://maps.yahoo.com/dd_result?ed=yHdkauV.wim9xI3qiJBKIsSZmaATqZxBylOr&csz=14850&country=us&tcsz=beaver+pa&tcountry=us

Just a quick check to see how many are planning on coming this Sunday for oval. I have set this Sunday to be my first time to run the "new" digital transponders- no matter what. We just got the new & improved Alycat program (deluxe version) and will be trying it out before Sunday. Hopefully, at that time, we'll also be able to start accepting personal transponder inputs as well. Hope to see you then, John @ River Junction :wave:

John,
Andy Stotts from Zanesville is planning on coming so I may try and come. If I am there we can try my personal transponder in a practice run, see if the system picks it up or not.

What time time do you guys open up?Be making the trip from Z-ville looking forward to racing there.Thanks Andy :wave:

Team TWA will be there in force :). Doors open up at 1pm and racing starts at 3.

Team TWA

do you run anything besides pan cars on sunday?

Jeffpatch, we will have a class for 3 or more cars, but you can count on pan cars, and maybe sprint cars or trucks too. We never know for sure until the doors open. We will also give away a free entry for the A-main winner (of a 3 car class), but 4 or more get a $10.00 gift certificate for the hobby shop. And, of course, when there is a B-Main or others, the winner of those gets a free race entry($10.00 value). Hope to see you Sunday! John @ The Raceway :wave:

Minster here.

I plan on being there on Sunday. John - roaddog was correct with the times, right? 1pm doors open - 3pm racing starts? Just making sure before I start the LONG drive.

John, you probably should tell everyone you're closed next weekend, also. If they want to race within the next two weeks, Sunday August 24 is their chance.

John, thanks for your quick response. We might be bringing 3 cars and 1 truck. Anyone want to jump on here with set ups and tire compounds, it would be greatly appreciated. Hope to see you Sun.

HD monty rear tires aqua green lf black rf or soft blue,,,,, springs somthing soft

John/Mike

Can either of you guys post the runline, width of the straights and width of the middle. Some poeple were asking me about the track. Thanks

Just to add to what Mike said .......

You can only use the "orange" or odorless traction compounds - like TQ Mod or Jack the Gripper. No Paragon allowed.

Rollout should be around 48 mm (1.89") for a Monster motor. You can probably go up one tooth for a GM3.

Three different styles of pizza. All are very good and go with the TQ Mod residue left on your hands.

I hope to see everyone on Sunday.

PanMan

Thanks to Mike & Kevin (& Eric & Roaddog) for your promotion of this place. To further help the new guys, the racing surface is an overall length of 75 ft. x 32 ft. across. Currently, we are running "short track" , which has straight lanes of approx. 11 ft. wide, and ends(turns)of approx. 15 ft.. The infield is approx. 40ft. long by 8 ft. wide. A good lap time to strive for is about 4 seconds or less. this will give you a solid 60+ lap run after 4 minutes. As stated, we only run the "orange" compounds and Jack The Gripper. We will be, this season, changing to "Jack" exclusively, and have already stopped selling the orange stuff in the store.
If you have any other questions (or concerns) please feel free to e-mail me directly at riverjct@stargate.net or call at (724) 728-5571 and I'll be glad to help. John @ RJ :wave:

looks like we should have a good turn out sunday cant wait ,,,,if anyone has any black fronts bring me some,,,,,,ok just one lol

Mike, Pleeeeeeeeeeze! Nobody is going to bring/sell you tires to make you FASTER!! They may, though be trying to KEEP YOU FROM GETTING them................Hmmmmm. Anway, yes it does look good for Sunday, and maybe, just maybe, we'll have 3 or 4 types of pizza!! :jest:

hey john you think you will have the track changed for friday morning we have some work on the K-9 units to take care of

Yes, Mike, I will have it changed over for you guys to "walk the dogs" in the morning- I'll even vacuum the residue of roadcourse away! :tongue: . We open at 10AM, and don't forget- Sunday doors open at 1PM. I have installed the Alycat program, and tomorrow night, will be setting it up for Sunday's races. With the small number of classes- about 2, it should go smoothly for the trial run. Looking forward to a GRRRRRRRREEAT season. John @ RJ :wave:
