Cool! 3 full heats of sedan means that I'd have a good chance of winning the D main! (as long as I'm by myself)

Looks like summer is winding down. I've got a good chance of making it this weekend. I'll be making sure that wall at the end of the backstretch is sturdy. John, you may want to reinforce it... some steel plates maybe?

SteveMc

Steve, it is made of 3/4" plywood, re-inforced with 2 x 6's and on a 2 x 6 base screwed to the floor. If you move that, I'll buy your car, because it would be the toughest thing EVER MADE!!
Doorman: Just quit your job and come racing! :tongue:
Chrisgt2: Thanks for updating everyone on the races here. But, remember folks, the laps/times are ONLY GOOD for that week posted- we change our track picture every single week!!! This keeps people from being "bored" with the same picture, and promotes better driving/setup through forced practice. Call it "boot camp" for those who would like to travel to "other tracks" :lol:
This week's track will be slightly harder than last, and we will get progressively harder, up to the Halloween race weekend. Thanks to those who visit this thread, John @ The Raceway :wave:

Yes sir! Sgt. John SIR!

Ian, you need to start with a good crew-cut!! john.

Ian, you need to start with a good crew-cut!! john.


Oooooooh No, I'm just now starting to grow the Mop back out!!!

[QUOTE=John@RiverJct]!!
Doorman: Just quit your job and come racing! :tongue:

Oh John! I wish it were so easy.
Just make sure I'm in your heat when I do get the chance to race next.
I hate moving all the time for Darroch, Vogan, Hartman and every other fast guy you have over there.
So how is Chuck Chambers anyhow?
Now there would be a heat!

Tracy :cool:

Tracy, I haven't raced sedan since the end of last season, and, I have yet to have "Mary" announce my name!!! I'm in there, but she has never had THAT honor! :jest: I do plan on racing this season, since I can enable her to completely run a race event, but for now, I am too busy making sure that she does things right( & me too). I will be attending the Halloween Race, but not racing. I am "on the fence" about whether I am going to register for the Indoor Champs, or just be a pit (person) for all the really good drivers from here. I'll look forward to a good race with you sometime before the warm sun beckons to the outdoors again. John :wave:

Doorman,

Chuck Chambers is old.(and fast).

Doorman,

Chuck Chambers is old.(and fast).

You got the fast part right! :eek:
Chuck keeps you honest on the track.

Later, Tracy :cool:

Did you guy's take the weekend off?
I want to know the story......
Who's Hot? Who's Not?
Is John Tortorice still the Man????
Has Ray Darroch gone PRO??????
Come on John.....Give us a little something to work with.
The thread is on page 2 for cryin' out loud!!!!!

Tracy :cool:

Well, let's see, Tortorice went to the Gate Sunday(he had a "social" to go to Sat.; Raymond has not started back racing yet; Chris was his usual "FAST" self; Dan (BuddyLee) was very fast, but had issues with the day :mad: ..... ; Scott H. looked good for not racing all summer; dad Bob H. could have had a better day; Chuck & Frank were very consistent; Dana, Mike T., Rich M, etc. went to Cleveland, and .......... oh, one thing, the PIZZA WAS GREAT! How's that? It's hard to make something of a small turnout day. Hopefully, as time goes on, this will change, and I'll be posting more & more. Until then or sooner, John @ RJ :wave:

wow..i was called a fast guy..even though chris did beat me..i still put up the fastest lap time a few times throughout the day, hopefully next week ill turn that consistantly :devil:

Hey Buddy, c'mere, I got this "fast motor" and......LOL John

wow..i was called a fast guy..even though chris did beat me..i still put up the fastest lap time a few times throughout the day, hopefully next week ill turn that consistantly :devil:



Danny boy,what you gonna do with that Yokomo?It sure is pretty,have you ran it yet?Or are you just draggin it around to show off. :dude:

im prolly going to sell it...anyone interested???? :devil:

im prolly going to sell it...anyone interested???? :devil:


Da! Yah,bring it Saturday and we'll talk.

Glitcher, it's already here, if you wanna look it over. John @ RJ

I'm starting this to see if some of you (our racers) want to have some sort of a point series over the winter. A few people in the past have mentioned this to me to try. Personally, I feel that a point series is an excuse to "encourage" racers to attend an event- (hey I'm being P.C. right now). And, if we were to do one, it would be COMPLETELY OUT of the normal weekly racing, I.E.- points would be accrued and/or prizes awarded at the end WITHOUT affecting our weekly gift certificate program. I feel that a racer should WANT to come on a weekly basis to my/our track, rather than be prodded into staying here week-in and week-out, just becasue they are "in the running" for some end prize or bragging rights. So, who else?? Just my deep thoughts, John @ RJ :wave:

Sounds like a great idea to me.

My only suggestion would be to only take the best 8 out of 10, or whatever the numbers are, so that it is possible to miss a week and still be in the running.

Steve

I've always wondered how you divide up the points.
How do you earn points?
Depends on how often I would race wether I would join or not.So far it's been every other week.Or road racing one weekend and oval the next.
I think it's a good idea for people that can commit to it.
Keep the great ideas coming John!

John,

Has anyone showed any interest in the new 1/12 Touring cars.
4 cell modified class. I know there was some talk around here about them. I wonder if they'll ever make the champs?

Hey! I vote for a Masters class at your track with a points series.
I'll have to e-mail you my points so you can talley them for me.
Oh! You mean I'll have to attend to be eligible. Darn work anyways.

See you for Thanksgiving. Maybe Halloween even.

Tracy :cool:

Hey! A new class?! Count me in!

A new class?? Yeah, you would want one- you hardly ever come racing in the first place glitcher! :jest: I just HAD to get on you about your Mr. Mom duties :roll: Tracy, not a single person has discussed the 1/12 touring cars. there has been some talk about the Losi Mini-T's maybe running on the roadcourse, with a few small jumps............... I agree that we should explore a "masters class", but should limit entry (age) to 40 or 45 and up. I'm over 35 (slightly) and do not consider myself a "masters" candidate until I reach at least 40 or more. Any younger than 40, and one should just have to drive with the "yungins" and wait for his time. I think also, that we should be encouraging older racers to stick with racing, and try to develop "masters" or "seniors" (60+)classes nationally to give them a place to compete with their peers. This way, the public would see that almost 3 generations of a family could be doing this R/C activity TOGETHER. Just an idea....... Hope to see you for Halloween- or here? John @ RJ :wave:

Flash!! I just finished making a "Raceway version" track picture VERY SIMILAR to what a number of you will be racing on in the coming week.. (hint- it has something to do with Halloween...........) Anyway, that's today's info. John @ RJ :wave:

Well call your track this Saturday Mini-Me!!! Or Mini-Gate or something!!!

Hey......................watch that "mini" stuff!!!!

My new car should be ready for this Sat.(XXX-S G+)
Anyone practicing Friday night?

I have to try it.(It matches my jacket).


The 1/12 sedans look cool!Do you think they would run 8 min?

Yeah....I'd love to get one of those 12th scale xrays......sweet. If you buy one I'll buy one Tom

I was eyeing the Yokomo's,we'll talk to John this weekend.
You racing Sat?

I'll be at the Halloween Classic....

Are they racing at the beav this weekend?

yeah...still racing.......probably a light crowd tho cause "everyone" will think "everyone else" went to the big race

I'm trying to find a place to run tonite... Are there any races tonite? if so, what classes? starting time? and directions from cincy?

J

John,

Please pass on to Ray... Great job this past weekend. Getting better every time out and his modified skills are there.

Make him stick with modified John. He's going to be tough there too.



RB Love

Modified is more fun than stock anyway :) And less messing around with motors.

Stealth,
You racing Saturday in Beaver?Who all's coming?
I need some Losi sedan springs,Orange and White,the heavy ones,got any?

I'll be there. Don't have any Losi springs.

One of your guys spent a lot of time talking with me at Cleveland this past weekend, the Bud's Halloween Classic. Please identify your self. I have some comments and questions about the drawing you gave me.

David Lee

Hello, Mr. Lee, I was the one who talked with you this weekend. Please e-mail me at riverjct@stargate.net and we can continue the discussion. Thanks for talking, and GOOD RACING! John Peoples, owner, The Raceway @ Beaver, PA :wave:

Hey Rob, thanks for the comments. I have passed them on to Ray, and he will be continuing the "mod" racing. He still wants to focus on "stock" as well, and wants to WIN more "stock" races this season. So, you better polish-up your skills, 'cause he means it!!! You did a great job this weekend as well (even on Thursday)- I just wish I could have stayed to see the MAINS on Sunday. Keep up the good work, and come over here and race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John @ The Raceway :wave:

Hi,

Here's a really stupid question.........
is this track near the BeavRun cart track??????
just wondering as we will heading out that way next summer and if it is I'll bring our R/C stuff just in case........

Totally lost
and confused

Yes....our track is actually very close to Beaverun. So bring your RC stuff for sure!!

Chris

ROB LOVE:
Just wanted to compliment you on your skills, they have improved greatly since last time we raced together. Also, thank you for the compliment and we will see you at The Champs

Ray Darroch

Are you ready chris?

Mod 1/12th scale? Did you recruit him, or is he "willing"?? Is Mr. T going to sponsor him as well?? You BOTH will need it......... :jest: I think I would be more concerned with doing well in stock, since that is what you primarily run, and Thanksgiving is weeks away............ Just a thought........John@ RJ :wave:

Think of that post more as a "ttt" type message...with some flavor.

Losi!

You nuts Lil T??? I'm not gonna race mod 12th.......dont have a car for it

I thought you had 3/12ths, but thats ok.

What's up John & All the local Fellas!

Is anyone running stock 1/12th this Saturday? "My friend Dana", "Tortiricce-Del-Guapo", "Vogan", "Thomas" - will any of you guys be around?

Hope to see you guys Sat.
Thanks!
-Jason M.
