parrott88 05-19-2004, 05:17 PM 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
SEEYA
rcovalracer 05-19-2004, 05:58 PM Jerry glad to hear you are well enough to come out and race.:)
Lee my Nastruck is about 80% together,most definitly I will have a truck ready by the 5th..:thumbsup:
Shumacher 99 05-19-2004, 07:05 PM Hey guys, I run out at Hw and am planning on running some 4 cell stock with you guys soon . I have alot of old caps but not sure what works good out there as far as compounds (never been). Any in put would be great .
Thanks
Chris
Donnie_99 05-19-2004, 07:15 PM the purple car will be there with a new bag of tricks lol.
rcovalracer 05-19-2004, 07:22 PM 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
Donnie_99 05-19-2004, 07:29 PM oh yes purple as always hehe that purple looks real good @ night lol
rcovalracer 05-19-2004, 07:35 PM LOL, paint it black and we will call it the "Stealth"...Won't see it,and will barely hear it...

I want to get there early to practice. what time dose the hobby shop open that saturday? cause I have to buy some caps and a motor before I can practice. OK later :wave:
rcovalracer 05-21-2004, 07:14 PM what time dose the hobby shop open that saturday? cause I have to buy some caps and a motor before I can practice. OK later :wave:I get there around 9:ish and Scott is normally in the shop by that time...
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.gif
irvan36mm 05-22-2004, 10:48 PM 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?)
-George
rcovalracer 05-22-2004, 11:27 PM George-The Truck series has ran across my mind also,and I will finally be on vacation(YES!!!),love to watch the truck guys rubb it out for a win too :) ..
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
gary51 05-23-2004, 12:40 AM Had a goodtime at the track kevin and chris were burnning up the dyno chris must have taken his 19t motor apart a least 50 times i think.got another light up in middle of turns 3-4 and should have another one up in middle of 1-2 by the 5th . should be good to go for the 5th. Gary
gary51 05-23-2004, 12:48 AM :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:
Donnie_99 05-23-2004, 04:31 AM i agree gary works hard at helping scott keep the track up!!! great job!!! well at least yall got your foot in the door with the break out.
Donnie
rcovalracer 05-23-2004, 07:28 AM My daughter will be excited :) ,she has a class to run in now,uhh ohhh,now I need to find her a ride...:confused:
I got some pictures of the track and pits lit up last night,there is one more light that will be put up as Gary stated...
If you would like to check them out send me your e-mail address.. Kevin
Fl Flash 05-23-2004, 08:55 AM Good to hear about the novice class! Gonna have to put a ride together for my stepson.
Kevin,
Lets see some pics! Night racin at Branford in two weeks :D
rcovalracer 05-23-2004, 09:06 AM LEE, you got mail ... :thumbsup:
Echeconnee 05-23-2004, 08:57 PM see y'all on the 5th
rcgen 05-26-2004, 07:10 PM 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
rcovalracer 05-28-2004, 05:59 PM see y'all on the 5th
Yep...Day to night racing,what a blast !!!! http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/all.gif

Echeconnee 05-31-2004, 10:42 PM You know we are coming and will probably bring reinforcements. I gotta whip Jerry and Donnie while I still have the big head from winning 19t over some of the best cars and drivers in the southeast last Sunday!
rcgen 06-01-2004, 07:10 AM Nastruck for me and possible my son for novice. There may be some new faces from HW coming too.
can we get some directions?and what compounds work at the track?lmk thanks bear
New92 06-01-2004, 12:09 PM Nastruck for me (I am pretty sure) as long as I get that body Friday and some tires when I get there.
parrott88 06-01-2004, 12:27 PM 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

New92 06-01-2004, 06:29 PM How bad are the dirt roads? lol. My truck is about 3 inches off of the ground. May take the wife's Blazer if I need to.
parrott88 06-01-2004, 06:29 PM Alittle late to let people know...
rcgen 06-01-2004, 06:42 PM How bad are the dirt roads? lol. My truck is about 3 inches off of the ground. May take the wife's Blazer if I need to.
You'll have to take the blazer...
rcovalracer 06-01-2004, 06:52 PM Bring the Blazer...
Jerry- The locals can make it in time,:) Practice for the locals,he,he..
I hear there will be practice Thursday night also,not for certain but should know by tonight...
rcgen 06-01-2004, 08:51 PM Bring the Blazer...
Jerry- The locals can make it in time,:) Practice for the locals,he,he..
I hear there will be practice Thursday night also,not for certain but should know by tonight...
Yeah the locals will need the track time "under the lights"...HW regulars already know how to drive in the dark :jest:
Echeconnee 06-01-2004, 10:00 PM y'all better practice cuz Big Red is coming and he's bringing 47 laps!
gary51 06-01-2004, 10:39 PM Cliff if your car goes over the wall in the dark it may take time to find it may set that 47 back a bit LOL
Echeconnee 06-01-2004, 11:21 PM well if I can stay clear of Donnie I might be OK
rcovalracer 06-02-2004, 05:17 AM Cliff if Donnie doesn't show you still have to deal with me in the tri-oval.. http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/coollook.gif
47 will be a little hard in "Bristol"
Practice Thursday,track will be open until Mr.Scott turns out the lights...
And if you need parts,etc.. Scott will gladly open the shop for ya..
Donnie_99 06-02-2004, 10:28 AM if i show up he might do 47 but it will be behind the purple car!!
Collinsworth24 06-02-2004, 04:06 PM Man what is it with that dang purple car???? Donnie painted Amanda up a purple car and she got faster. Maybe there is a trend going. Oh I figured the formula out. PURPLE=FAST
parrott88 06-02-2004, 05:07 PM I Got something for BIG RED and the PURPLE CAR.
