Curt -- whoever said that (about the mod motor) has never seen a mod on a carpet oval... Even with the ARCOR 19 turn motors, there is NO doubt that it's a mod, and with a true "open mod" all you have to do is HEAR the car to know... If anyone has any doubts, some time I'll drop a 19turn in my backup car and do a "demo" run (could be a demo-lition -- my reflexes won't keep up with 19's much anymore!)...

When I'm up there, if the carpet will support it :D I'll throw a 7x2 in my car durring practice & that will quiet some people. I'm not a good mod racer by any means but just to feel that rip & let people see what the difference is will be fun. Is the track pretty smooth up there?

Brent -- yes, the track is pretty smooth... The seams are very smooth, and joined UNDER the carpet, so there isn't any tape on top... The concrete floor it's laid on is brand new, so no cracks or problems there, either... The closest thing to a bump is the very tiny ripple in the front straight, where the thin AMB loop runs under the carpet.

Oh please Brent, put the mod in and give them a show. :thumbsup: I'll have to be there to see this.:)

I raced with you Curt, and I know the difference between a stock & mod motor. Like Tom said, you can tell by just the sound. Some people are just better at using their mouths than their ears.....

Any oval cars racing at CT this thursday?

Phil

mine should be ready for carpet

I will be ther thur and sunday also! it will be close to noon on sunday, but i will be there! later!!

Sorry guys can't make it tonight gotta work late again :( and i haven't got my truck fixed yet. Ill cya on Sunday!! :devil:

Matt

Matt you don't have to work your ole lady got a hold on that leash :jest: ! LOL! later!!!!! :wave:

who's in for carpet tonight? mitch and I will be there to run oval and tc onroad! later all!!!!!

Curt I will be there for some more racing action tonight. That will make a great croud so far. I know Phil is going Jesse, kyle, Austin, Curt, Mitch, Kelly, myself, and that is what I know of for sure.

See everyone there

Here is what I posted on our message board for the trophy race this weekend....Thought I would keep things updated, and be great to have any of you come up for our last race this season....And for all you dirt oval racers who haven't heard, we are putting in a dirt oval also for the '05 season....The off-road and oval will be 2 seperate race programs....The dirt for the oval has already been hauled in....Just have to get some decent weather to get it finished

As the Nov. 6th weekend forecast is for cold temps and snow showers, burrrrr, I have made this decision.....If it is too wet to hold the trophy race on this Sat., the 30th, we will shoot for Sunday the 31st....If we have a decent day tomorrow, we will be good to go Sat.....Sunday start time would be noon.....Depending on the entries we might have to just do 2 heats and then the mains on Sunday if it comes to that.....I know I had scheduled the rain date for the following weekend, but if we don't have it this weekend it looks like this year would be out completely for the trophy race....

I will see how the weather goes tomorrow, and make my decision around 3pm what we will do....If no rain, we won't have to punt....So say a little prayer and keep your fingers and toes crossed for Saturday

Tom you missed some good oval racing last night! I had battery problems the first 2 heats, but the main I got the battery fully charged! :thumbsup: Phil and I swaped the lead several times and Mitch looked like me the first night I ran my oval loose LOL :jest: I'm sure he will get it worked out and spank us Sunday. Ohh Justin will be paying for the oval car you was gonna sell Brad! if he don't come sunday I will have the money for ya! anyway after a few lead swaps phil had a couple incounters with the road rails and I pulled away and got the win! it was fun we had a few people who brroke and some wierd glitching problems and Tony never did figure out what was up with that! anyway I hope to see everyone there Sunday!

We have had to reschedule our trophy race for Sunday the 31st....Start time will be 12 noon on Sunday

Rex,
Question for you, what time do you think the races will be getting over with because I dont want to be getting back at like no 1:00am and be ready for school the next morning, how late are you gessing from previous years???

Thanks,
Dustin

any racers for tonight????

Dustin, it will depend on how many entries we have, and we will decide tomorrow whether to run 2 or 3 qualifiers....I will keep things going on a good time schedule also....Even with doing 3 qualifiers we should be done around 8 or so....We will keep between the electric races 3 minutes and 5 minutes on gas....Last year we were done around 6pm....I used 8 for the latestest....Hope this works

I'm up for hallsville this evening since the novelty race has been rescheduled.

I am in for tonight guys. I will call around for some others to come up.

Dustin

Dad and i will be at Hallsville tonight. :thumbsup: Gotta get away from this moving crap for awhile!! :devil:
Anyone else??

:dude: It was nice to finally race again! I'd didn't do real well, lol, but considering the six coats of rust I had to deal with ... not too bad. I tried to stay clean but obviously wasn't always successful . :freak: Now I need to work on getting my 12th scale to stop traction rolling and just get some more driving time in, I at least have an idea about gearing and tires (I broke the RR hub on those greys I have on my 12L4 in the Main, I gotta try something else now, maybe there were the source of my traction rolls; oh yeah, and get that "roll over" antenna mounted just in case (grin) ... hope to see ya'll next Sunday!

-John

John -- good to see you at the track... I chunked my good set of Grey rears in the second round, and the Greens I used in the main were really LOOOSE! Kind of strange -- I was spinning out and you were traction rolling... Maybe we should have traded tires? LOL! :D

DID I HEAR THE WORD TRADE I WANT IN WHAT IS IT LOL:p

I have a xray or a atlas tc I need to sell or trade! Justin is in need of a radio and reciever if any one has one! :thumbsup:

I have a xray or a atlas tc I need to sell or trade! Justin is in need of a radio and reciever if any one has one! :thumbsup:

What xray is it?

Kelly -- any idea on when the web site will get updated?

well I got like 5 people wanting the xray! LOL ! whos in for thursday night? :confused: well hope to see everyone thursday night! later :wave:

Ohh Justin wanted me to let everyone know he will have some 1/8 scale tires for sale thursday night, if any one is interested! later

Too bad i'm flat broke cause i sure could use some new buggy tires. :(

Oh well

its called a I.O.U:p

I have a couple of those now with a new house and all lol

Curt would he be willing to trade anything??
And how much does he want per set??

Hey folks, with the end of the outdoor race season over this past weekend, I'd really like to know what happens to the turnouts at both the Columbia track and Hallsville. I won't be able to make it up this weekend, but if someone from each track could post the number of people that come out for races this weekend, I'd appreciate it. I hope both tracks will increase in turnout now. I also ran into Joe at the Novelty trophy race. He and Rich (gold1e) say the track is just about ready. They both say it is looking great. Hopefully it will be done before December. I'm interested in taking a trip up to Harrisburg to give the new track a shot. Just curious, is there any others that are interested (obviously, you must first be willing to do the drive).

Oh I forgot to ask, for all that went to Springfield, how was the race? How many people showed up? Is there a website to this track?

Nick,
There was 38 People Last wensday Night if you come up that would make 39 people so charge some batterys and lets Race.
Jared :p


Please note this Pole has a 100% Error Margen nothing about it is true so it don't belive it.

WOW, that's great to hear Jared....... Seriously? Same people from the big crowd last year or a lot of new people? I don't think any time last year there was a turnout like that for a wednesday night. Problem is, I live and work in STL so now I can only make it up for Sat. nights. I hope the trend isn't moving towards large Wed. turnouts and light Sat. turnouts. At least with turnouts in the 30's should dispel all the talk I continue to hear about Hallsville shutting down.....

No Nick he was joking, if we had that kind of turn out I would have told you.

Man if you want to talk about some FUN you guys should have went up to the Novelty race. That was a blast. My 1/8 scale ran AWSOME untill in the main the dump mechanic did not check over the whole car and the motor moved and tore up the cluctch bell so I did not get to finish the whole race but I had a great time anyway.

I guess we will be racing at Hallsville on Wed. I will be there with my xxx, and my xxx-4 but I want to run my xxx.

By the way, that dumb mechanic was FIRED. LOL

Dustin

You shouldn't blame the mechanic for your lack of driving abilitys. Braaa, braaa__ crash.

late

Jesse -- your motor came out pretty good... I'll try to work out some gearing info for you if you could post tire size and what spur gear you are using on your XXX-S...

Marvin -- Your 12th scale motor tuned up (sort of re-tuned) pretty well, too... A couple of things we "gotta talk about", but mostly just a fresh comm, reshimmed, and different brush springs...

Tom looks like 2 3/8 with a greenish gear

Anyone catch the full story with some people at Novelty not being happy? Seems as though the wheelnut tampererer came back and attacked someone.. just missed the wheel nuts :o

Had to post it somewhere.. I got shot down on Novelty's board for asking.

That's what the problem was? Someone loosened the wheel nuts on John's tires?

Nope.. someone screwed someone elses low end needle in 2 whole turns..

I am In for tonight Got my Truck ready. Sorry Nick I was Cought up in the Voting pole so i thought I should Just Say that. There is not a bad turn out on wensdays, i haven't made it to a sat. night race and probly won't untill after December my Boss dosn't think I NEED to go since she works all day Sat. Hopfully there is a good turn out for the ones who don't have strict Bosses.
see every one to night
Jared

Tom looks like 2 3/8 with a greenish gear

Green would be an 88 tooth... (I think)

With 2 3/8" tires, grab a 21 tooth pinion to start...

Well Good Racing Last Night pritty Good Crowd 11 entrys Total with ten Racers even had a four-wheel drive class. Good to see we are starting to get enogh racers back indoors for great racing. Dustin Sorry You Couldn't Come Up I guess it doesn't pay to call around (forgot about Ryan, Brad, Joe, Matt B.) thanks for good night of racing
Jared

yes, that is a good turnout for a wed. Jared. Of course, the big test will be who all comes out for a Sat. night. I already know of a few folks that were regulars last year on Sat. night that will be just racing in Columbia on Sundays. Hopefully sat. night comes back strong. Especially now since the Marion, IL track is for sure getting shut down. All the people I've been racing with in St. Louis have been having a hard time finding anything close to race at. All suggestions have been a good 4 hour drive away. I've mentioned on the stl forums that we've got Hallsville only 2 hours away and Sat. nights are packed. Hopefully we could start getting more of them to come out. I also mentioned Joe's track to them as well. Considering they were willing to drive 4 hours away, they may be enticed to drive 2 1/2 hours to run gas indoors....
