Today...Showers and thunderstorms likely. Highs in the lower 60s. Southeast winds 5 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60 percent.
Just about like last saturday. Do'nt let this forecast stop you, we've raced under worse conditions and managed to get the day's event in. So bring it out, I'll see everyone there.http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon14.gif
Just looking at the 9:40 EDT radar loop and it looks like this rain could move out by 1:00 or so.

you guys let ME know when yoru running, I'll be there....
Will Do!

Another cold crappy weekend, hey look on the bright side. At least the weather is going to be nice come Monday morning so we cand enjoy the work week! And I keep asking myself why oh why didn't I move to Arizona instead of Michigan! At least the rain held off long enough to get 9 holes of golf in last night :)

Andy I sent you another PM.Got it, and I won't be at the track today. Let me know when you'll be working at Rider's next and I'll stop by after I get out of work.

I need to take a hit off the crack pipe and get to work on the design for your bodies! Now at least I have something to do while I watch all 3 Matrix movies this afternoon

SATURDAY, MAY 8 - Tonight's Berlin Raceway events have

Who won nitro sedan today???

Inquiring minds want to know.........

Who won nitro sedan today???Mr Clean came out on top today. http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon10.gif
We got started late today, but it turned out sunny and dry for this afternoon racing.http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon12.gif

Inquiring minds want to know.........

Who won nitro sedan today???I believe Tony R. won. Jesse should have and it was ugly. Everyone had problems of some kind including Andrew and myself. It turned out to be a nice day and a good time was had by all.

On a different note, how about a Wednesday night cash points race?

Its in the works. Tony will be working out the details this week and will get them posted, more information to follow.

Sounds like Mr. Clean's improvments did the trick, good job Tony!!
It's a shame Jesse flamed out when he came in for fuel!

.

Im down for wednesdays.

Yes, Jesse was the car to beat this weekend... at one point in the race he was down 4 laps due to a flame out, he came back and was on the same lap as me and was coming fast..... It was most definitly a race for the finish, until he broke:cry: ..but we all had a good day despite all the problems we were all having....



I am also all for a Wed. night race...... as long as we can be done by 9 pm or so cuz I have to be to work at 10pm

Sounds like Mr. Clean's improvments did the trick, good job Tony!!

Just a reminder, Its in the works, Tony will be working out the details this week and will get them posted. It will be something like a 10 week series.
A couple of you have mentioned you'd be interested, anyone else?

Somebodys going to ask, so it might as well be me.
How much cash are we talking about? Any idea?
Also, what classes, start time, how many heats?

Thanks Fred!

Thanks Fred!Tony will be working out the details this week and will get them posted.
I'm sure it will depend on how many racers are in involved.

John,
We got the go-ahead today for a Wednesday Night Point Race.
Here is some of the details! I am still working on some of the smaller details.

When?
Every Wednesday night. First race starts at 6:00 pm and must be completed by 9:00 pm. Races will be stopped at 9:00 pm!

How many weeks?
10 weeks starting the first Wednesday in June.
( Racing may be stopped early if we receive too many complants!)

Cost?
$5.00 Entry fee for racing. (You do not have to race for the "Points"
If you want to enter the "Point Race" there will be a additional $5.00 Jackpot fee.

Payout?
100% of the Jackpot monies will be paid out to 20% of the drivers. Drivers will receive points (tickets) at every race that they enter. At the end of the "Point Race" all tickets will go into a jug and a drawing will determine the winning drivers. A driver must attend at least 50% fo the races to be eligible for the payout monies!

Classes?
Same as Saturday "On Road Racing". There must be at least 3 entry per class!

Points?
Drivers will receive points determined by the total amount of entries in their class (Not their heat).
Example - If there is 14 nitro racing in a giving night, 1st place will receive 14 points, 2nd place will receive 13 points, 3rd place will receive 12 points, and so forth with the last place finisher getting 1 point.

Heats / Mains?
Threre will be 2 qualifying heats , per class, and a main.

Tony,

Thanks for the information.
Sounds like loads of fun!!!

So if we want to be in the points, its $10? Sounds good to me. when do we start?

I'm going to step and make a reccomendation to the points. I don't think that is a good way to do them at all. there is no way there will be exactly the same amount of racers every week in every class. So let's say the first few weeks of racing there are 20 nitro guys and at the end of the seires there is only 5. Then the guys who competed in the first few weeks have the opportunity to get 4x the amount of points for just one race than the guys at the end. That's not very fair. How about the way it's always been. First place 100 points, 2nd = 95, 3rd = 90, and so on. And give the TQ 5 bonus points.

But it doesn't really matter anyway, I just found out today that I won't be racing anytime soon with my work schedule. I'm pretty much going to have to work 7/days per week for the next 3-4 weeks straight to get my current projects done. Hoo-rah :(

I wish I could say that, but I've been dying to run out in the parking lot since early Nov. which was the last time I picked up my transmitter for a race.

Andy, I can understand where your comming from. It is differant and on that note this is kind of why I like it.
Its kind of like handicap racing, same thing would happin if you were on a bowling league. I allready know this is'nt bowling so I hope you'll cut me some slack there. Its just an idea not an absolute. I'm williing to go with it, anyone else.

i think i might run both classes for the points race so i have a question?
is their going to be a set class for elec.? like rubber tires or foam and 19turn or mod? the reason im asking is i know on sats we will run both or whatever everyone wants but i think we should make one class for points race so there more people in one elec class to benifit the winners for more points instead of like three in rubber tire and three in foam. does that make sense? anyway i would vote for foams with mod that sounds fun to me. plus i think it would be cheaper for me to run foams than rubber tires. plus i think the traction would be better with foams and im down with good traction LOL. what are your guys thoughts?

Jesse

fred break out the oval stuff sparks and i should be there sat

Jesse I would like to see a mod electric class. I think the mod class should be able to run foam tires.

Jesse,

I got me some new foam tires for my TC3 today at Riders. There are two brushless cars that are running foam tires and I will run with them in the Mod class. Put some foams on and a mod motor and lets see what happens. Will your wife race tomorrow? I think there will be a couple of women there. I will try to put them in their on class.
