Re: Are we there yet?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I talked to Bean today and big news!!!

The track location will be in a new spot this year and it will be smoother. Racers can now pit in the Nascar garages. No need for tents/power pitting there! Sounds like an awesome deal. Now you go in past the old track and make a turn into the garages. I want to pit in Tonys!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sounds like we don't need to bring generators?
And we can pit inside?
More details please?

I just talked to Bean, it's true, it's better and you guys without trailers will be in the Cup pits! That's awesome. The track size, shape and runline will be like stricklins. I can't wait to get there!!!

wow, this could make a great event even better!

will there still be parking for trailers next to the track?
can we plug trailers into power outlets?
is this the smooth asphalt area where they used to hold legends races, that is near the shower area?

also, can all winners have there pictures taken in victory lane? that would be sweeeet! imagine having a picture hanging on the wall of youself in victory lane at DAYTONA!!!

man, is it thursday yet, i am ready to get going.

Bean said we will all have plug in's as long as we don't run the air. No generators needed!

I meself has spoken with the Beanest one. Sounds like it's gonna be big fun this year. Yes, Almost everything about the race has changed but it's still the same race. Make sense?

If you have a trailer and must bring it, thats fine. Trailer parking will be not much farther from the track than it was last year if at all. Just not trackside. Please, If you unhook the trailer place a piece of wood or pad under the trailer leg. Treat the asphalt as your living room floor. the power will not sustain everyones air conditioners so if you must use it he asks that you bring a quiet generator. Also sit it on something and do not spill fuel.

There will be a lot of indoor space in the actual Nextel cup garage. 40 to 50 bays in all. Just bring tables, chairs and extension cords. Each bay/space has multiple outlets but sharing is still expected. This will require every one to unload and then drive to a designated parking area. No exceptions.

The track will not be exactly like last years but almost as large but will probably be more of a Martinsville(Stricklands Park) like track. Practice up with those throttle fingers boys. We's gonna do some short track racin r/c style.

The track will be where the NC haulers park. Newer asphalt and in much better shape than last years. Maybe a bump or two but compared to last year, Who cares?

We're expected to leave everything as we found it. Port-o-lets too!

Since the racing is now basiclly inside the carshow area we have the opurtunity to expose r/c racing to many more people than just the ones that may have noticed the comotion while walking in or out.

See all of you in a few days:wave:

Will Mr. Bean or Curt Come on and verify all this?

I dont have Nice expensive Coleman generator, so it will not be too quiet. If this will be a problem I need to know about it. Its the same Gen i have used there before.

After all this renovation work you can darn sure bet the 9th Wonder of the World will be coming!

Apparently I worded that wrong. I didnt say the track would be short. Notice the almost as large line. I'm sorry. I'll go stand in the corner now. Heh heh heh, Thats where I keep my r/c stuff.

any one interested in almost new silva l4 car?

i am bringing mine that i won brushless last year with. it has only been ran 3 races. it is in awesome shape.

if you would like more info email jastroud@cox.net.

i am not posting price, since this is not the for sale forum. i just wanted to let you guys know i was bringing it to try to sale, so i would not have to hassle w/ posting it here or on ebay and then ship. plus, alot of people would rather see it in person anyway. so look me up at daytona. i will be running the yellow #4 nitro .09 and .12 cars and pitting in a white trailer w/ hilland motorsports and bandit r/c on the side.

also you dont have to be looking for a car to stop by, feel free to stop in. we will almost guarantee a good laugh!!!

To all of you that were not able to make this race, you are sure missing a good one. We ran 2 qualifiers today and the racing was awesome. We sure have a great bunch of racers down here and Mike Bean and crew have really outdone themselves this year with the pitting arrangements and the track surface. Good job everyone and thanks for making this event great every year!
