Nov. 7th 12:30 P.M. Sunday
Nov. 21st 12:30 P.M. Sunday

mr scott says we are back on regular sunday schedule that has never changed in 20 years.
it has allways been every other sunday unless we are rained out, then we race 3 weekends in a row to get back on schedule. we don't know where you got that schedule?

rcovalracer
10-23-2004, 11:12 AM
That was the schedule that was made up by him (Mr.Scott) I beleive to work around the Echeconnee schedule,I did not make it up,lol. It was to help out with the driver/drivers in the points race up there and for them to make our races from my understanding.

After calling Mr.Scott he told me he is going back to our regular schedule.

Oct. 31st
Nov. 14th
Nov. 28th
Dec. 12th
Dec. 26th

Willis where were you when the scheduled changed?
Ask Gary,I did not make up that schedule.

what would be cool is having it posted on someone's website for everyone to see. I would be happy to post it on my site next to our schedule, it's no problem. I am sure am ready to get back down for some action!

Cliff I have had it posted in my message board since you guys started your points series.

My Message Board (http://wwwtoolz.com/msgboard/msgboard.asp?user=ovalguy5)

I guess I will move it to the homepage where it will be seen when you first come to the site..

cliff, are you running next week? if not we are back on alternate weekends is that not true? every time we have a 5 sunday month the schedules work out,
is that not correct?

Echeconnee
10-23-2004, 08:20 PM
Willis, we run this Sunday then we run again Nov 7th, then again on the 28th. The reason our points race is on the first weekend instead of the second is becaus of the race in Pooler on the 13th and 14th. I hope you will try to make it as well. The last scheduled race of the year will be Dec 12th when points series trophys will be awarded. Any races from then until April will be by notice only depending on the weather.

Kevin I thought the schedule was changed all around this summer when we were running Sat. nights, my understanding was back to every other Sunday once we finished night racing (or in my case blackout racing) We have always stuck to every other Sunday, makes it easy , sometimes it conflicts with Cliff but it always comes back around about the time We say "hey we haven't been to Cliff's lately" or he says " hey we finished our points series and are ready to travel again" Also makes it easier for the out-of towners who say " is Branford running this Sunday?" Well we didn't run last Sunday so yes we are running this Sunday....or well we ran last Sunday so no we are not running this Sunday. Just seems easier all the way around. When I'm making my scedule at work I'm not looking on the internet for a schedule I just look at the calender and count every other Sunday BA- BING I know when Branford is racing. When my wife asks are you racing this Sunday SHE ain't waiting for me to check the web.
Here is some Branford Trivia for you
1. Do you know why the schedule was orginaally set-up on alternating Sundays?
2. Can you tell me what year the oval track was changed from asphalt to concrete?
3. What year did Branford run its 1st and only Summer points series? Complete with Trophies,Barbacue, and pictures in the paper.


Cliff When are you going to post some track facts on Pooler? Has anyone we know run on the track yet? Any idea on the turnout? Anybody from there post on HobbyTalk??

Its an indoor asphalt oval an on-road .The track should be around 240 run line. We haven't laid it out exact yet. It has plenty of power outlets. The sportsman class is more like or novice.It will be great to meet all of you guys when you come up.
Thanks For everything,
Anna

Wade there are no "facts" on pooler. It's a new set up and nobody has ever run on it. The entry form can be found @ www.rcshowdownonthecoast.com and additional info like hotels can be found @ www.anthonysvictorylane.com I hope you and willis can make it over. We already have reservations for that weekend. Andy, Donnie, Sammy and I are for sure going and Rod Jacobs may go as well. It should be fun to get all the guys together again on asphalt and race some new guys too.

Hey Guys,
Old racing partner of mine talked me into going up to Savanah this weekend to help him with his dirt latemodel, we happened to stay at a hotel near 95 on 80 in Pooler. I didnt get much time to look around but did notice a Flea market that appeared to be closed but had some fellas working inside. Is this were the race will be held? its about halfway between 95 and the Ogelthorpe Speedway near a amusement park. lookin forward to this race just hope I can figure out the foam tire deal.
BTW, my bud managed to finish 5th with a thread bare RR tire in the 150 lap Shoot out on the Coast at OSP, not bad for a guy running the series part time with a pick up crew and using his own dime :thumbsup:

Cliff sounds good that means no-one has an advantage. Have already sent entry in will make res. on Monday. Is the asphalt smooth??

Kevin 1. Willis had to take call every other weekend so Mr. Scott went with every other Sunday and it stuck

2. 1988
3. 1990 the hot classes at the time were 24 degree stock concrete oval and dirt oval modified.
Thought you would enjoy a little trivia LOL
