I got mine Thursday, I'm looking forward to the fun or could it be carnage?

If you have a weak constitution or are easily upset then be for-warned it won't be pretty when JoMamma goes down in a pile of gooooo after the return of the 1/10 version of the Figure4.

I've already heard the story line from Bean, how the 1/12 title was "Stolen" last year due to the rain-wash-out of the mains on Sunday. But he should look at it in a positive way, when your a lap down already in qualifying and the NatureBoy hasn't even brought out the good stuff yet, your in deep trouble for the Feature Event.

I'm sure there will be enough Figure4's to go around come next weekend :devil: !!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to get all of this in mpeg format and digital pic's. It's going to be FUN watching all of this!

i have pitted next to bruce for the last two years man he likes using that figure 4

painted me up two bodies for this ,, the paint on the touring oval is still drying :lol:

BIGDON

Got the car fast on Sat. but it was like I had a BIG red target painted on it all week-end. I believed I crashed with everybody in my heats except Jerry and thats cause I never saw him,same problem in the B-main except I had 2 RED targets on it .

Thats ok I got to turn marshall for the best race of the week-end Stock A-main. What a race !!! Katfish you described it well .

Jerry was awesome he just kept his mind on the big picture The A-main on Sunday. He completely rebuilt the car Fri. after the chassis , bumper and battery tray were all cracked and splinterd, the problem was it was a Hyper 700 and the only chassis I had was a Hyper Pro-2 so he went with that. I know I couldnt switch from a slider to a solid chassis on race day and be competitive let alone win. Then on Sat he decided to switch speedos , but we were both having problems with our soldering irons so the iron he used to attach the wires messed up the speedo. He doesnt catch it till Qualifying time POOF!!! it was on fire, melted in the side of his body , he had take a heat gun to the lexan and try to mold it back, plus he missed his Qualifier, still he wasnt phased he just kept on wrenching ( we also only had 1 pinion wrench between the 2 of us lol)
He changed the car completely around for 3rd Q on Sat. new speedo, different set-up, different tires, everything. came back in after the Q and said the car has more in it . He took everything back to the motel with him Sat. night and completely rebuilt the car AGAIN.
He came in late Sun. morning and said the car is ready I just need to run a couple of laps to make sure ( I had been keeping batteries charged for the both of us all week-end he certainly didnt have time !!)
I said great heres a battery go test. It was fast... he brought it back in the trailer pulled out the practice pack put a new pack in it and said he was ready. The mains started and he starts looking at the gear chart and getting me to punch up roll-outs on the calculator. He was in race 11, 2 races before his main he decides to change the gear....unbelievable!!
Just kept his cool and his mind on winning ;)

What a week-end , My wife said it best on the way home , " you didnt win, you didnt even make the A , but would you have wanted to miss all that fun!! I smiled the rest of the way home :)

Everybody:
No problem I will bring 12 cd's to Stricklands this weekend so that way I think I should have everybody covered, I hope? See everybody Saturday!

Man this was my first time running at the daytona race and man did i have a great time,, mike bean and crew put on great weekend of race ,, one of the best i have been to,, i really enjoyed it.

congrates to all the amain winners and the race jerry and mike had was the best as they come. that was worth the trip down there alone,,, i loved watching the races as much as i did racing there.

BIGDON

Oh by the way yes it was great Bean and crew. One thought RPM parts set up was nice and gee they were not rude and very helpful (Billy Bruce)HobbyWorld(Owners/workers) should take a class with them. :wave:

couldn't of done it without you Wade... THANKS A BUNCH

Another great race guys! Thanks to Mike Bean and the entire crew! Awesome 4-cell stock race! Too bad Curt didn't win 12th scale, it would have been the crowd please of the weekend!! See you guys next weekend at Strickland.

Another great Daytona race there definitely was some great racing. Thanks to Mike bean and crew for putting in the extra time for those nice rounded corners I think that made for some great racing! Thanks to Kenny Holmes for a smooth race. And for those of you who missed the race, you missed a classic race in a classic venue and I'll be sorry to see it go, but will look forward to the new venue. Had a great time!!................OUT!

Wade, Do you want to sell that chassis? Kind of fills like part of the family now.
Donnie I have your left hub. I'll get it to you on the 4th.

Jerry sorry to hear about the car,unbeleivable weekend you had and still came out the A-Main winner :thumbsup:
Are you serious,no more stock for ya,I don't have to be lapped 10 times anymore? :lol: Kevin

OPPS....DOUBLE POST.
Where is delete??? :confused:

A big thanks to the MB Racing crew - Mike, Mel, and Curt! I had another fun filled weekend. Julie and I look forward to coming to see you guys every year. Another thanks to Mel and Enid for their party.

And to Jerry - you are a great racer. We raced inches apart for 4 minutes. I even tried to give you a #3 donut on the front straight - and I saw that wiggle on my a$$ going into 3 to loosen me up. Let's do it again! I tried a last lap pass but you drove the perfect lap and there was no way. See ya in 19!

WOW! i am seeing posts from guys who post once in a lifetime!

when the weather holds up and the heat index doesn't rise we all seem to have alot of fun. attitudes were left at home and i saw guys helping others all weekend long! yes curt sanderson was mad fast drove a great main and did his best! again there were at least 6 racers who had the best races of there life! and anyone who beats mike boylan can say they beat the best florida has to offer. congrats to billy bruce for his TQ and i hope when we all meet again we have a even better time!

GET THOSE CARS ready for the state oval series first race is in april!

DADS! dont forget the series does have a nice reward for the best father son duo..end of the year the father and sibling who finishes the best gets 2 passes to universal islands of adventure..we also have the dark cloud award. driver who has the worst weekend..judging from mr. parrot and willy shipman it would have been close! but willy would have received the power push battery pack.. lots of suprises in store..you just have to show up! rpm speedway is the host for the 1st race..

lets keep the ball rolling the rest of this year!
check out thunder for pictures and results soon.

MB Racing crew for a great race i hope the Speedway race dosent die!

Donnie

I would like to thank all that came out and made a great race. We will work on making it better next year. The outdoor Channel was there filming for Inside RC. I will find out how to get a copy of the show and when it airs. Some great racing. great job to Curt on that TQ.
See ya next year.

Mike, i'll race with you anytime. Really enjoyed the weekend. I plan on making the race rock race. maybe we can do it again. i plan on running 19t, so maybe not. I'll just take my beaten and come on back to GA.

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to MB racing and crew for another great event! All of the racing was awesome but as said in earlier posts, the stock A main was the best race of the day!

Gonna try to send a few pics. Mel

Now thats first class racing in the A-Main stock class. Jerry Andy told you that you where the man. Good job see you in two weeks.

Scroll down to the month of June for the days the Speedway Spectacular will be shown.

What a great weekend. Good job by Mike Bean and his whole team. Scarecrow did his usual outstanding job keeping everything going very smooth. Can anybody touch Mike Boylan in 19-Turn? WOW! Thought Billy Bruce would have a chance in the main but Mike added a full lap on the TQ time in the 10 car feature! Congrats Mike!! The Nature Boy just did edge out JoMamma who languished in the B, but it was only because he loaned me a battery for my dyno, so would have to call it even for sure!

Can't wait until next year and looking forward to the new track surface!

BT

isn't thayt illegal????????????
In stock no body ran foams but in Open mod you can do whatever you wanted because it was open. I ran foam one other guy ran foam and rubber.

dave and his rumors again! :cool:

there were no rules for on road..anything goes..tony padilla asked mike bean if foams were legal..mike said yes they are legal..tony bolted a set on in a qualifier..he ran .37 faster than bear did with rubbers on..i think tony was a little embarassed..needless to say bear went home mad at mike and tony felt like a heel for chasing off bear..tony used rubbers in the main and went faster with them than he did foams. that is what happened..i even gave tony my nextel to talk to bear..i hate races with alot of rules..but this is what happens sometimes..next year though..there will be no onroad anything! wooooooooooo the oval entries were about 85% of the total sign ups..sorry onroad nerds..i was suprised there weren't more gas entries?
