I would say from HW to Branford,would take around 1hour 1/2 - 2hours to arrive.
And 10:00 o'clock should give you 2-3 runs before the heats. :thumbsup:

Count me in for some 4-cell stock action on the 22nd if you guys will be running. My friend Dave will be coming from Jax to run 4-cell stock also.

How many from the Branford gang are coming to Daytona in March?

Guys I really want to come and run on the 22'nd but as one who really pushed for sunday racing at hobby world I feel somewhat obligated to race there. Several racers have stated they want some asphalt/foam tire practice(it's really the big track :tongue: )and with daytona coming up jax may be the big ticket.

Since Scott's has an actual schedule instead of an "we're supposed to race" deal there'll be other days for me to visit. This is only coming from me and the other guys may still come down. Take it easy on them first time cap tire drivers.

I have'nt raced on caps since about 92 or 93 and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll feel privledged to leave some of my "BUTTS" decals wedged in the outside wall. :eek:

rcovalracer
02-15-2004, 05:31 PM
I will not be in Daytona,hopefully next year.
But I think, Wade,Richard,Willis,Jerry,and Jason are the ones that I think are going.
Good luck guys in big "D" not Dallas either :tongue:

Butts you will always be welcome to Branford whenever you like,enjoy talking to you and racing with you,rather staying out of the way. :lol:

Cool Shannon. Are you taking 10-W? If so, maybe we can meet up at the Gate station at the Marrietta exit and do the whole caravan thing. Let me know smleary@yahoo.com

Thanks Kevin on the site. Its free for them, so it ain't gonna be perfect. The most important part will be getting a schedule on there that we can count on.

Gonna be an early start to get there by 10am. Probably meet at HW at 0745. ROAD TRIP!!! c-ya guys in a week!

I was going to run 4-cell stock or Spec if there were enough people. Turns out, HW is running on the same day and EVERYONE is coming there to race due to the fact Daytona is coming next month and it is asphault. Decisions decisions. I think I'm going to have to bail on Branford this time like everyone else who first said they were coming with me. Sorry I won't make it out there, I really want to see HW as busy as it appears its going to be. Can't turn down a packed home court advantage! Track records will fall with warm temps, can't wait.

I will try and make it out to Branford soon. Hopefully with a few more jax racers.

I tried to get folks to come out but, all of sudden, BANG, we've got racing here on the 22nd. Perhaps we can alternate our Sunday racing with your schedule in the future. That way we can all go back and forth. I'll be out there soon though. Still working on getting some caps.

Kevin, I may be coming down tomorrow also. I know to come down sr247 but how do I find the track once I get into Branford? I've seen you post something about turning left at the caution light where the convenience store is.

Take 247 (Branford HWY),take it till you get to the remodeled Jiffy Store, just inside of Beachville with the flashing light,Take a left there that should be 49. Go to the 2nd dirt road on the right 264th st.,take the 1st dirt road on left 61st street and go down about a 1/4 mile on the left you will see the RC sign on the fence,on the left, turn in their,track is in the back..
If you need a map,contact me.. :thumbsup:
You can also check the 2nd thread of Branford RC Speedway

Don't know what happened @ Hobby World today but hope everything goes smoother in the future :confused:

Had a good day today... car was good , driver stunk :drunk: Oh well had fun , good fellowship, and enjoyed the Nascar race on the dish.
Congrats to Donnie he was flying I guess that little talk he had with his car the other night worked :eek:

Goodys Headache award goes out to Cliff. Boy I have had days like that too. He even missed the trailer the 1st time he tried to throw it in!! Don't worry Cliff you'll get right ....all good racers go through droughts

The new Directionaal signs to the track were great and the board for the transponders and heat sheets was a nice addition. Thanks to Greg for his craftsmanship.
New drivers stand is working out good along with the roof on it . Now if we can get rid of that slick spot coming out of 4 :roll:

Thanks for the sight Kevin its really nice

Wade

slick spot coming out of 4
Thanks for the sight Kevin its really nice
Somedays are worse than others. But at times I can stick it down there out of 4 and power out of it low,somedays I will do donuts down there,maybe we can beg Richard into a pressure washing again,imagine the lap times then, 5's ????

It is not a profesionaal site,but it will work,I think, Thanks,Wade

Yes ,Thanks Gary for the signs and the transponder board they look great :thumbsup:
Scott I will make you another shirt for ya.. ;)

Thanks everyone for attending the race today :)

Well guys I got everything on the site now and I added yesterdays pictures to my album (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4290485049) or go to the link on my site Kevin's RC Pictures.The picture numbers are 190-202.I couldn't get alot as I was helping Amanda get that new car rolling,from 8's-to low 7's.Then I had my own fair share of problems,stripped 2 body posts,broke 1 front bumper. :mad:
But in the end everyone had fun,another thanks to Wade for the motor tuneup :thumbsup: Wade I have a few more you can tune,how much ??


Goodys Headache award goes out to Cliff

I agree,after a bad day at the track,and the flat tires on the trailor :mad:

A BAD DAY AT THE TRACK IS BETTER THAN A GOOD DAY AT HOME

Well I decided at the last moment to stay and race with the guys over here so we could talk about the situation that occured saturday afternoon and the near future plans of racing at hw, Atleast as far as we racers are concerned.

Whats the sunday schedule for Scotts? I really would like to see opposing weekends(hw changing their schedule not yours) so the guys that want to can run at either track. Originally the every other sunday deal was supposed to be just for the colder months but they continued to race every friday night too so it cut down on each days turnout. Now within a month or two the weather will start warming up and I and alot of others would like to see us race hw atleast one sunday a month.

I am coming to branford, It's a when not an if deal. I'm looking forward to it. Do you guys(and Amanda :cool: )allways run the 3 lap qualifier? That looks like fun too.

Oh yeah, Wade, I missed 32 laps by .51 seconds. Uh huh thats a 31 4:00.51 new record. Toot toot, is that my horn I hear? :lol:

rcovalracer
02-23-2004, 06:33 PM
Hey Cliff I was the first loser :dude:

Red201,I will stop by Richard's Shop tomorrow and talk to him about it.

Donnie I want the motor in the car,that is what is in it I want,LOL
I agree after reading "Wade's How To Book" that car setup is real important.

David we do the 3 lapper when there are alot of racers,sometimes not.
Alot closer in the heats.

:cool: No Imports..

I can't wait to come up. I will proably run the breakout class,don't think I will be doing any 6's the first time out.
Glad to hear I can get some practice in though,can I use my roar card for the hell of it anyways? I haven't used it since I got it from FCCR...
Hey what about Amanda? Can she come? :lol:
Wish you guys would start about a hour sooner though. Kevin

yea the reason we start when we do is because one of the guys who has raced with us from the start lives an hour and a half away and goes to church, so we wait for him as we should. After all he and Donnie have been with us for the past 12 years
