oops. Sorry about the typo above.

I meant to say that I would have BEEN as slow as you.

OK boys it's time to go racing. Track is rented and ready to go.
Sunday Aug. 15 the doors will open at 10am, racing starts at 1:00.
We will run both Oval and Roadcorse. Plenty of pit space so bring a friend or at least call some up to come out and play...

I'll be there,sedan and an oval class.Hopefully "Bombers".
Any word from Ray?

Snookie,
I,ll be there Sunday with sedan & bombers,looking forward too seeing everyone.

I think steel city was being a good shop putting its customers cars first (yes you al) I want to see a rematch. When is this going down? Maybe we should move this drag talk to the sch drag thread.

mike r.
if you did my cars at your place i would have as slow as you.

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

Hey, it's the R/C racer formerly known as Mike O'brien. LOL

Mike who? Heard he moved...

Snookie
mike don't race anymore he's in love.

Mike- Call me today if u can.

OBrien is in the mountians with the inlaws.
Hope to see other half of TWA at Sundays race...

how many racers are coming sunday? how do you get to the track? how long will the racing last and how much $ to enter?

Dinge, and others, the address of the building is 1216 4th Street, Beaver, PA 15009. Basically, exit PA Rte. 60 at the Beaver exit (turn either left- coming from the North; or right- coming from the South/Airport) , head into town, and you will see a McDonald's on your left (about 3/4 mile), go past the McDonald's(with the cemetery on your left as well) to the NEXT redlight. At that light, turn left, and go to the next light (1 block). At that light, turn left again (3 sides of a square going around the cemetery) and the building is right there. Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. John :wave:

It's $10 for first class then $5 for each additional.
If we start at 1:00pm,we should finish before 7:pm.
So far it looks like about 30 people with probably everyone running multiple classes.
See you there.

I want to stop by to check it out if i have time. Steel city hobbie said this is a big race so that is why i ask so many questions. I want to get into racing so I was looking at their new track looks nice and they told me beavers was a seasoned track with history behind it. I like how racers help each other out as this is a good hobby to get into.
Mr.Dinge

RCDINGE every carpet track slows down in the summer if not closes for the summer months
Thank you to everybody who came out for Sunday's special race.
Congratulations
Raymond Darroch Sedan A Main
Allen Stephens Spec A Main
Bob(Mustang) Pierce 4 Cell Stock
Best race of the night - Bomber Class - Kevin (Pan Man) Minster for the WIN

I had a good time yesterday. Nice to see everyone again. Congrats to Raymond, Allen and Bob on their wins. First time for me with the bomber and it was hooked up. Great race with 6 cars - and Frank kept the pressure on!

Thanks to Snookie for setting everything up and to John and Sam for working so that we could have fun. Track conditon was great, pizza was delicious and everyone was smiling - a good day of fun for everyone! To those who couldn't make it - you missed a good time.

Let's do it again sometime soon!

Kevin

PanMan, Bomber class is still the best show in town.
You boys rock. Have not seen racing that close since we ran Spec.

Yes, lets try Sunday Aug. 29. :thumbsup:
2 many RACERS had a good time...

Forgot to mention HackG even showed up and ran in the A main...

Like snookie and Panman said everything was GREAT looking forward too next time,to
everyone who did not show up you missed a real good time,maybe next time,thanks to john and sam for opening up even with everything that is going on.Drive the BOMBERS hard!!!

Thanks Frank, Snookie & Kevin for your support of The Raceway. Sam & I (while we are trying to sell our building) will do what we can to keep supporting the racers, and hope to have the Raceway in the negotiations with the new owner/owners for at least this racing season. We have always put the racers/customers first, but now must try to re-group ourselves and keep financially afloat. It has been a very difficult summer, but we are still optimistic that we can have a place for all of us to race this season. Thanks again for all of your kind words and thoughts through our tough times, and please try to come race on the 29th of this month :( With the success of the race on the 15th, the promoters are willing to keep it up for as long as we get the same (or better) crowds. Thanks, John @ The Raceway :wave:

Thanks John, Sam...great time...Bombers are da bomb....Kevin, awesome race. I know my bomber is as fast as everyone, just couldn't get it through the turns as well as you and Frank. It was almost like I was spinning around the turns, as if slipping on a banana or something. What?? Who brought the fruit basket? lol .....Oh well, hopefully I can get it running a little better to catch Frank(OLD HIPPIE) and REVin Kevin(the panman). See you all on the 29th.

All most forgot, Anyone coming to Aarons Raceway in the WAshington Mall to race Friday night? Doors open at 5:30, racing around 7' ish ...Bring the bombers, 4 cell stocks, or what ever you got .....See all of ya at the races..... Drive It !!

The 29th race is already shaping up. Looking forward to even a bigger turn out. Too many racers said "wish thay were there''...

how many 4 cell stock cars ????

Does anyone know how many carpet tracks there are in the Pittsburgh area? I know of 2 existing and 1 big one being built in Washington Mall. I have not heard of any "series" but is that something that could happen around here?

Mike, plenty of racers. Where is your buddy? Will TWA be there on the 29th?

RacerXAX, as far as local tracks go,
The Raceway in Beaver is a quality track with drivers of the same. Home to Mike OBrien ARCOR champ/ Raymond Darroch Snowbird sedan winner.
Aarons Washington Mall R/C Raceway is a great short track with good people having FUN racing.
R/C Ave. in Latrobe has long straights but tight turns. Race just about anything.
Y-City hobbies is the same as Beaver, but with wider turns. Home to Dusty Dean.
Classic hobbies is the big banked track in Akron OH.

As far as the big track in Washington Mall, being built for the last year, too much talk.

I forgot to mention www.fultonshobbies.com

Whats up Snook? Will I see you in WashPa anytime soon? Nice to see you holding the clan together in Beaver. Good luck!

Thanks for askin' about the info... Snookie, I heard Classic has a banked oval? That would be awesome if it is close to pittsburgh because I would like to check it out. Your opinion, which track is your personal favorite? And is the general entry fee usually $10/car at all these tracks?

About the Steel City track at the Washington Mall, most of the "talk" I have heard was from the over enthusiastic big guy John (I think?;) ). And on the other hand, the tall guy ( :cool: ) was always a little more realistic as far as a time schedule I think.

Thanks for the info!

Not even a smiley. :confused:

If you know me, I am always smiles. :roll:
Time to go back to work! Long day at the track today. :thumbsup:

I heard Classic has a banked oval?
Classic has a 190' indoor banked ozite oval, home to several National events.

And in the summer we race on a 285' asphalt track, slightly banked.

Yes we're doing it again, Sunday August 29th. Doors open at 10am, racing to start at 1:00
Oval and Onroad. I'll be there, will you?" :thumbsup:

:wave:

Cool about classic. Sounds like that is the ultimate oval around. Do they have an address so we can map quest it for directions? What is the best car to use (at any of these tracks)? I have been hearing a lot about a L4 from Associated... tires? Obviously, I am new to this but looks like a lot of fun. Thanks!

Check this out www.classichobbiesraceway.com
Boys in Ohio run HyperDrives. Track is only 1 1/2 hours from Beaver.
Well worth the drive. :cool:

Does anyone know if the track in Washington mall (not steel city) will be open this friday night? And if so what time do they start racing?

Washington RC Raceway is open every Friday evening. Just a question if enough racers to show up to race. If no race just practice and setup time is good use of the time. Opens around 6 p.m and if racing starts around 6:30 or 7 p.m.

How many racers do they need to race? If I come down I will have 3 4 cell nascars, 3 legends, and maybe 3 2wd trucks running foam tires. What is the entry fees?

Snookie - Sorry, I can't make it this Sunday, August 29. We're having a plant shut down and I have to work 7:00 am 'til ?. Wish I could be there but work comes first. You guys have a good time. I'll see you at the next one.

Kevin

PanMan, we''ll all miss you. See ya next time. :wave:
