What time are you getting started kevin, me and wade are coming but he dont get off till 4:30.. will we make it in time?

Last I was aware of it is still 6:00 P.M., you can always contact Scott
at scottshobbies@alltel.net to be certain. Or Mr.Scott's number 386-935-0758..

To answer your question,if you guys haul boogity,you can always miss the single car qualifying,and the racing started around 7 last time if my memory serves me correctly... Kevin

Thanks Gary and Chris... The motor is mine, Must have fell off the table in all the wrenching. Thought someone snagged it, It's great racing with honest people.

Since I don't race stock anymore, I'll give both of you guys a stock motor That if your car is handling, Ya'll will be battling for the lead.


Thanks again guys

Yea, there will be a new record set in 19t for sure! But it won't be a purple car that sets it.

Nice race report Kevin. I may see you guys in a couple of weeks.;)

looks like some things have come up that will allow me to race at different places more hope to see yah soon

Butts (tm) we will most likely be back for the next night race as soon as we determine when that might be, lol. DP, you have much better controll of your temper than me. Personally I would have reacted much different to the attack than you did, kudo's!

The rain held off and the racing was hard and fast Congrats to all the winners. Great job Donnie and the purple 99 for setting another track record. Great driving to Cliff in the19t main you were one spinout of getting 49 but great win. Congrats to Chris Fry for getting his first 43 laps and win in A main stock. good driving in nastruck Kevin im glad we had a good race and finished on same lap. geat job to both of the young guys in novice. Thanks to all the new drivers that showed up especialy Built BILL and Chip thanks for all your help to the drivers. Gary :thumbsup:

I think I speak on behalf of Donnie and Eric when I say "we had a great time". That is the closest racing I have done in quite some time. I thought I was racing for the lead and Donnie was closing fast which made me drive a little better, nothing like getting those "A" main shakes! lol. Sure was good to see Chris do so well, he has improved a bunch since we first met, but look out, if Amanda can get a clean run in it's gonna be a barn burner! Look forward to the next one!

Butts (tm) we will most likely be back for the next night race as soon as we determine when that might be, lol. DP, you have much better controll of your temper than me. Personally I would have reacted much different to the attack than you did, kudo's!
thanks man. I don't like what happened and am not proud of it either. I am more embarrassed at the fact that we had something like this happen

what tires do I need to run Up there in stock class? and are they the same for 19t?

and When is the next race Butts (tm) want to come up:)

DP, I like pink lf net on the right front, pink RR net on the right rear, green lf on the left front and a green a green LR narrow on the left rear. I run white springs on both sides in the front with 4 deg castor on the right and 0 deg castor on the left. I have blue springs on both rear shocks with 40 weight oil and I run a HPI center shock with #2 piston in the center with a Silva silver spring. I am using a .063 45 deg fiberglass T-plate. If you have an adjustable center shock mount use the 2nd or 3rd hole from the top, if you don't, get one. I use a little rear steer and a Bud's super Bi-Level wing. The body of choice is HDMC from protoform. I hope this helps....... Oh yea, this is a set up for 19t but I see no reason it would not work in stock.

The set up above is what I use in Branford but is not very different from our track. The only real difference is that you will not need the Bi-level and you will run less wedge in the car. The fastest stock time is a 6.o and the fastest time I have seen in 19t is a 5.4 second lap but to make the car race worthy 5.6 works better as you will have to tighten the car some. I have everything you need in stock and in the interest of getting you "cap's worthy" I will help you out with the pricing because they are somewhat expensive. I do have the online guys beat on price so there is nothing 4 you to worry about pricewise, we have it 4 less, lol

ok you talking to me in german on the tires. I know nothing about caps

this is all you need to know, L is the size designation for the smallest circumfrance tire, S is medium and R is the largest. I run all L tires on the car except for the right rear tire which is a R. I run regular pro lite green compound tires on the left side of the car and on the right side I run belted or "net" tires and they are the pink compound. The reason for the net is to stiffen the tire and aid in cooling it. The net also helps the tire stay coincentric at high rpm's. None of us run on a track that would produce that high of an rpm but we do benefit from the stiffness and the cooling quality the tire has. We run what is called a narrow tire on the left rear as it helps turn in and really plants the car while cornering, more so than a wide tire, unlike running on foams. You still want the rear track to be between 7and5/8 and 7 and7/8 inches outside to outside, the stock setting on the front should work for now. Also if you can run offset and rear steer it doesn't hurt either. We can get you fast "Jump in any time Donnie" you just have to hang on and drive it! 19t @ both tracks is hair on fire fast so jump in and feel the burn!

Go to the BSR site as well and read up a little, ignore the info on the pink tires though as they have changed some. They now reside between green and blue compounds

the next race is this weekend, David, David or Davids or ....you guys!

Hey RCGen,today while running my truck I noticed something incredible,LOL
I beat you by where my transponder was mounted in Nastruck, on the hood.:)

Thanks once again to Gary for driving from Tallahassee to lower the lights in all 4 corners today in the 100° weather..

I have to make a correction on my Records Page (http://hometown.aol.com/langcnn/records.html), Eric Kline ran a lap time of 6.99 in Novice,nice lap Eric :thumbsup: , Kevin

My transponder is mounted on the front windshield. I'll have to move it when I get another body or we'll have to put a video camera on the finish line for instant replay :cool:

You guys have done an awesome job over the last 6 months with the new drivers stand
area for the transponders
lines on the track
#s on the track
and just the general area looking great!!!

But racing under the lights is just to hard on me. You have put up triple the # of lights that were up last year and its lite pretty good. I still can't see the wrecks in front of me and I can't gauge the distance going into the corners. Its called hitting 50 and cataracts!!!
Not taking anything away from Chris last time He ran a heck of a race, and I was really happy for him, but if that was during the day I believe I would have run him down...but thats racing. I couldn't hit my line going into 1.. I would run a 6.7 then a 7.0 then a 6.8 then a 7.2 no consistency. Chris hung in there out front and stayed clean. CONGRATS

I think the 1 day race a month is good. I will not be able to make it though. I'm putting it in the pits for at least a month or so. Work is transfering me to another store and its fixing to get crazy.
I will keep in touch Good Luck to everyone

Wade
Racing Southern Style

Wade sorry to hear you will be out for a little while:drunk: ,I didn't stay around last night to check out the lights but I'm sure they are alot brighter now than the last race:thumbsup: . Wade don't worry about your eye site,I am half your age and damned if I didn't run straight into Amanda's car sitting on the track in the Main.
Once again sorry Amanda..
Hope all goes smoothly and see ya back in Branford soon,Kevin


Gary Thanks For All Your Hard Work And Time At The Track.

kevin Thanks for your help yesterday at the track MR.SCOTT and i rechecked the lights in the dark and we both ran several times and had no problem . Moving the PA speakers really made a differance no problem hearing anything especialy up on drivers stand. have a good week. Gary

where is the new schedule? When is the next night race?

LOL,Gary posted a schedule at the track with the dates,but I have the worst memory in the world,but I think the next night race will be August 7th,and we will be running the opposite weekends from you guys so we can make it up there sometimes and vise versa:thumbsup: The first weekend of the summer months will be night races I think..

I hope it's not aug 7, we race on the 8th

Cliff i did have us racing on the 8th saturdaty night but should not be a problem to change to 14th saturday and the next saturday race on sept 4th. after that it depends on when we go back to all sunday races . we will then get on every other sunday . so racers can go back and forth. will talk to MR. Scott and tell him of changes . will let you know in plenty of time to set things up. Gary

Thanks Gary, keep us posted:)

Thanks Gary for coming up with a schedule,I should have the schedule posted Tuesday,after I run it by Mr.Scott's to make sure this is what he wants,remember we don't run Scott's Hobbies,we just help out :thumbsup: .. Kevin

thanks kevin run it by MR>SCOTT to make sure he and PEGGY DON,T HAVE ANYTHING going on with those dates maybe we can get them set for rest of season Gary :D
