Glitcher- That would be the place. Frank went up and quickly checked it out last weekend. We are going to go up and try it out Saturday. :rolleyes:

Torino,
Please give me full report!
Thanks.

Joneser- Me, Jeremy, Tim K., and maybe Morrow if he's not working (but he probably is). Let me know if you want to tag along.

Torino- Let me know how the offroad goes. Heard about that place but don't know anything about it.

Hope to see all you guys on Sat. :thumbsup:

Later fellas-
Jason M.

Buddylee, good job running your first race.
What happened to the Ohio boys? :eek:
3 heats & Main. All had fun time.

THIS JUST IN, RAY DARROCH WINS THE SNOWBIRD NATIONALS...Stock TC, not sure of how he placed in 12th yet

way to go bro...we all knew you could TQ and win a race one of these days...perfect timing for it to happen too.... :thumbsup:

Thanks Buddylee-good job on Saturday.
Congrats Ray-Ray!

Ray did a great job at the Snowbirds. Won Stock Touring Car A-Main. He placed in the A-Main in 1/12th as well. Due to technical problems on the Snowbirds end, several A-Main racers missed the race!

Story and pics on www.steelcityhobbies.com if you want more detail.

I'm sure John will fill in even more details. John, Ray and I had a great time in Orlando and we are looking forward to a repeat performance next year!

Mike :cool:

I doubt that I could. Really, after the L~O~N~G drive down and the near 20 hours of being up when we got there, things went pretty well :confused: One would think that with all the fun things to do down there (with in a 4 minute walk) we could have had some fun, but.... not really. The fun was TRYING to catch-up on the sleep that you didn't have. With this said, I will be going there again next year, and probably saying the same stuff about it...........I really MUST LOVE racing!
If anyone is in Orlando in the next year, stop by The Racerock Cafe on International drive (www.racerock.com) and see the A-Main winners' bodies on display in the showcases - the whole place is really cool, and it's ALL RACING ORIENTED!!!!!!!!!! I will see you this weekend, when "Mary" and I re-take control of the Raceway's racing helm. John @ RJ :wave:

ok guys its getting out of hand...WHY are on the second page of the posts...we should have posts everyday...maybe the oval guys are right...we are boring, but i don't see how, when we go left and right.

Buddylee goes both ways!? :eek:

Hey, whats the story with racing this weekend? It has been quiet up there in Beaver! I'm still lost in Florida after all the Nationals and have been waiting for someone to post some "news"!! Keep Well!
:cool:
Mike!

Yes, it's time for me to post (finally). As of March, 2004, we will COMBINE our roadcourse AND oval days to one day- SATURDAYS. The first of these will be March 6th, 2004, when the doors of The Raceway open at ...... 2PM and the races BEGINNING at 5PM SHARP. This now allows people the time to practice both the roadcourse AND oval tracks, as well as time for pizza BEFORE the race. We should easliy be done by 9PM, and travelers will be home by 11PM at the latest. This schedule will run through the summer (with A/C). The sundays parking lot races will be announced shortly, and will probably start sometime in May, and run every other Sunday (approx.) through the summer months. Thanks to all who have race this season, and hope to see others soon, John @ RJ :wave:

Nice to meet you Sunday Glitcher!! I have only one thing to tell you-Shoo Goo!!!

hahahaha!!!

See ya soon,
Ray

Glitcher you still have jokes...

Buddylee are you ready for this weekend?

Hey Mini-T how you been?

Nice to meet you Sunday Glitcher!! I have only one thing to tell you-Shoo Goo!!!

hahahaha!!!

See ya soon,
Ray

Good to meet you also.It's cool to put a face folks from the message boards.
Ya,I wouldn't need The goo if I could stay off the boards,Just don't tell anyone I drove 2hrs to race in the "C" main.
Had fun,was hoping for a large open track,figured I'd do well after racing on Johns technical tracks, his layouts ROCK! I get to the Gate and it was like you knew I was coming.
Everyone was cool,no problems,I'll probably come again after the Nats.

I am looking forward to the combined race day on Saturdays... maybe now I can try to make some racing with a nice variety all in one. I am bummed that I cannot make it this weekend due to family issues in Florida, but in the near future I hope! Good luck to Dan and Ray this coming weekend at one of the races. I am sorry I cannot attend that one either! :( But, we will have fun down the line! Have fun everyone! :thumbsup:
Mike

Ray and Danny are doing really well at the USTC race in WI. Check out SCH website for updates posted Sat. Night. I post as I get them. Nice work John!
Mike :dude:

WOOHOO!!!

http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=34577

Where oh where did all the on road racers go,where oh where can they be... :roll:

I think all of them were there yesterday.

Once all the hoses are gone and new pipes are in place (just like the Snowbirds had) what excuses will I hear next? :o

hmmm...new pipes, ill definatly be there to try em out... :thumbsup:

Congratulations to Ray Darroch AND Dan Hartman, as both drove their "little wheels off " this weekend at www.trackside.com in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the US Triple Crown race. Ray WON Stock Touring, as well as TQ'ing it, Dan took 5th in the "A", after qualifying as high as 4th, and Ray also WON 1/12th Stock, after qualifying 3rd overall before the mains. Both showed what it takes when you go to a major race, and they represented themselves(and their home track) very well :thumbsup: Thanks to them and all(you racers) that support them in their efforts- Good Luck at the NATS in 4 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John @ RJ :wave:

hmmm...new pipes, ill definatly be there to try em out... :thumbsup:


The pipes are for racing,JEEEEEEZ!!!!

Are the new "pipes" installed yet? If not when? :confused:

Will there be provisions for a Doggy Door? :p

Yes, the pipes are in, but with the new schedule, roadcourse has been COMBINED with oval on Saturday- doors open at 2PM, racing starting at 5PM SHARP. Pizza will be delivered at 4:30PM. Thanks for asking, John @ RJ :wave:

John,

Do you have a touring car oval class thats popular? I asume its stock motor if you do.

Ray

Ray, to be honest, nobody has ever asked about a touring car oval class......... but, if 3 or more show up, we'll run just about anything! In the past, only the novices have ever run a touring car on the oval, and then they moved to roadcourse when they improved, or were more confident. I'm sorry we'll miss you this week at the Gate, just please don't D&D (or ride with someone who is). John @ RJ :wave:

Yup-no problem-I have become a very responsible old man!! I have designated drivers already set-up for the night!!

John-ygm

Yes there is a doggy door, the bad news is it's at the bottom of the steps.

The new pipes are great! Got a chance to run some laps on em and it was a definate improvement. See you at the races......!!!!

hehehe :D

I would like to take the opportunity to THANK ALL who were involved in the "pipe full of fun kit #7". Without your effort and perserverance, this would NOT have happened. :thumbsup: Snookie, Chuck Chambers, Frank Dempster, Gary Pickrell, Chris Vogan, and most of all....the "pipe guy" **Allen Stephens**. Thank you for your efforts, and I hope this helps to attract more racers.......................John@ RJ :wave:

Yes Chris ran some laps last nite, just wish he would have used his car...

His oval car looked good. No complaints for oval.
The sedan looked even better wheel'in around the disks.
Chuck ran 1st sedan on new track (also looked good) then I ran next. Had some FUN, might have to get one of my one next time...

I saw the new pipes last night and they look awesome!!! Can't wait till Sat. to race. See you all there.

Chris is my hero.

HAHA, I'm dying over here......

You got that chassis for my aching TC3 tommy boy???

as Snoop would say

Chrizzle Vogizzle up in da hizzzle dizzle fo shizzle my nizzle

I looked for it,but couldn't find one.
Did you get a chassis off of me before? That might be the one I was thinking of.If not,I'll dig a little deeper.

P.S. I'm checking out losidude's car on Sunday,if he still has it.

Nope, I didnt get a chassis from you, I had one. Its messed up too, just not as bad. You comin down tonite?

the track with the new pipe

Ummmm......can you even make that any smaller if you tried?????

ok try this

I can not wait till next week to try it out. I just hope that the straight does not disapper over the next week. :jest:

Looks cool huh Ben!
You wouldn't believe how much bigger the track seems!
Your only gaining a couple inches from the old pipe,but from the drivers stand the 6 inch tall pipe would block about 1 1/2 feet of track from your view on the back stretch,with this pipe you can see your car and the entire track.It really is a big improvement,Can't wait to race on it!
I had stopped by when they were finishing it,I know John had thanked everyone that worked on it,but I would like to thank them also.
Snookie
Chuck
Old Hippie
Chrigt2 "THE VOGANATOR"!!!!!
Gary
Allen
And of course John
I wish I had more time to help out.I appreciate your time and effort.
I'm not sure,but I think the road course lay out will not change for a while.
