You know Andy and I are coming!

Cliff, Glad to hear your coming. Should be a good one.
Now if we could just get Donnie to come, We could have another shootout.

You where running really good last time. I got my car figured out, so maybe I can keep the back end under it this time.

Do you want to run stock or 19t. Let me know

A good starting point would be: Tires: Green Left Front(L), Green Narrow Left Rear(L),. Blue net right front(S), Blue net right rear(R). left front spring (red) right front sring (green). Center shock 7lbs silva spring 25 to 30 wt oil. Side shocks (right) red with 25 to 30wt. oil, (left) gold with 25 to 30 wt. oil. ride height 8 to 9 mm(track is bumpy).
That is a good start Schumacher 99..

We might have another 99 running? Hope to see you soon..:wave:


Donnie I hear/read you have a new PURPLE ROCKET? Same color? :) Kevin

You can give him a call if you like, 386-935-0758 ask for Scott.. :thumbsup:

If you need parts after the race starts at 6:00P.M.,Scott will gladly open the shop inbetween races for you to get parts,always a plus...

I am heading to the Daytona Pepsi 400 for the 1st time this year..woo-hoohttp://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/happy/supergrin.gifKevin-You'll love the Daytona racing at night! Me & a buddy of mine went after work to the night testing sessions (all 3 nights!) when they were adjusting the lights for the first ever Daytona night race. Got to see Rusty Wallace/Buddy Baker (ran a #2 backup car,worked w/Rusty & the lighting crew),Mark Martin and the others I can't remember. I do remember it was very breezy & cool in the stands when the sun went down,even after 90+ deg temps all day! Loved the testing sessions,but didn't go to the race. IMO,I'd rather see the 500 at night,too! BTW,catch the truck race down there if you can! (Fri night?)

Went to the track today for some motor tuning thanks to Gary from Tallahassee that makes the trip on the off weekends for testing,tuning,and track maintainance,such as the new light put up tonight,if you guys keep adding lights it will look like alltel stadium, LOL..I would like to personally thank Gary for all the hard work he does for the track and for the other drivers,Thanks A Million Gary...Kevin

:thumbsup: MR. Scott said he would run a novice class
at Branford nothing faster then a 7.5 must have at least 3 cars to run class. if you run consistant 7.5s you will be bumped up to next class. :drunk:

Is the novice class a run what you brought? My son might be doing some concrete action.

rcovalracer
05-26-2004, 07:49 PM
RCGen if I am right,Gary can proably correct me if I am wrong but it will be run what you brung,just can't go under 7.50 lap time.. Oh one thing,it has to be a 1/10th scale pan car with any type of Nascar/Nastruck body...No 1/12ths...I am guessing touring cars would be allowed also,just need a Nascar bod..Kevin

Hey Bear... Greens and blues work good for this time of year.

rcgen
06-01-2004, 01:44 PM
Butts (TM) may know of a quicker way,but here are my best directions.

Take I-10 W.
Exit ramp right- I-75 South
Go to Exit 427-US 90- Lake City
Make a left at the light,you are on US 90,go down I would say 7 red lights,there is plaza with Food Lion on the left and Advance Auto Parts on the right,(make)merge to the right towards the Auto parts store,that is Highway 247 (Branford HWY)
Go down 247 until you reach Beachville,as soon as you reach Beachville look for CR 49,there will be a blue Jiffy store on the left,turn left at that flashing light,you are now on CR 49.Go down past the dirt bike track,pass that dirt road,and you come to the second dirt road on the right, 264th st, go down it,first dirt road on the left,61st street,go down until you see the signs on the left posted on the fence,pull all the way to the back.

Or take I-10 W
Exit- Sanderson Olustee-US 90 Turn Left- Towards Lake City
Follow it until you come into Lake City and you come up to the Food Lion plaza on the right and a Walgreens on the left,make that left at the light,that will be Highway 247 (Branford Highway)Go down 247 until you reach Beachville,as soon as you reach Beachville look for CR 49,there will be a blue Jiffy store on the left,turn left at that flashing light,you are now on CR 49.Go down past the dirt bike track,pass that dirt road,and you come to the second dirt road on the right, 264th st, go down it,first dirt road on the left,61st street,go down until you see the signs on the left posted on the fence,pull all the way to the back.

Here's the directions
