Hey guys/girls I have the 2004 schedule for Branford RC Speedway posted at my site so you guys can plan a roadtrip :thumbsup: www.kevinsrc.tk (http://www.kevinsrc.tk/)

When does the next points series start for Hobby World?
Does anyone have the start date for the next points series?
Some of the Branford guys including myself want to come to the next series.

Might see you guys Friday night if I get my box(Chevy) goin...

Might see you guys Friday night if I get my box(Chevy) goin...Kevin- I would think August 6. Tomorrow will be Week 5 of 7. We take 2 weeks off after the series. Well,not "2 weeks off" as in "close the track for 2 wks",but more like a non-points practice race or weekly club race w/scoring. That gives everyone time to get their cars tuned in & try different things. Also gives the newbies time to get used to nighttime racing,as well as driving in traffic. I think that the 4-cell stock class should be allowed to run either NASCAR-style car or truck bods! We used to run them both in the same race in the old-skool days of Street Spec,why not now (or the next point series)? Hope to see you guys next series!

Weeeest sideeee :p LOL.. Kevin

Still enjoying my vacation up here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. The weather is great. Wish i had a couple more weeks up here. Hopefully will be back on the drivers stand for next Friday.

Great weather all day long, but our late showers finally caught up with us. Someone pop the bubble around HW. Total rain out. So be ready for next Friday.

BTW Strickland's is running next Saturday. How about it HW regulars...what to take a road trip. The track is flat and smoooooth.

I will be back next Friday,can't pass it up after getting there 4 hours before race time to get the car setup..See ya guys next Friday night :wave: .

RCGen is there a website for Strickland's?
Pictures of the track?

points are up, will be back for july 11th, no updates to site until that race. ;( I hope it doesn't rain the next two Fridays...
Thanks Shawn first time I,ve been able to make it to HW in months and you put the Hookie on the weather :lol: Oh well it was good to see some of the guys again.Hope I can make it next Friday!!

Later, Lee :cool:

Here's a link http://daytona-rc.homeip.net/index.html It's the website for the dirt and on road track but it's the same place. Mike Bean host an oval race once a month on the second saturday of the month. It's a nice smooth track. I used the same tire combo & setup like HW. They also run a nastruck class but its 19t and class called "Rat" class. Almost like a run what you brung class. All age groups fun to watch. I thought there was a pic somewhere here but couldn't find it.

Awwww, it rained, too bad.. ;) lol

I was cleaning out my garage and found alot of extra gutter and downspouts that I had originally was going to put on the house. Decided not to and its been sitting around. I need to get rid of it and was going to just trash it but thought about the pit area.

If the interest is there we could run it arouind and put the downspouts on each end pointing back towards the back fence. Would at least keep the drips away when it rains off of the tables and stuff.

If we dont want to do that anyone is welcome to it if they want to come get it. I live off Blanding between Middleburg and OP.

Okay - it's another general announcement time.There will be a thread started once the deal is 100% confirmed. Since the paved oval race was given up by RPM in September I came up with a different idea. I asked several people in the pits at Hobbyworld about the idea and it sounded good.They also wanted it held there- so I asked. They don't have the help to do the race this year.If I'm re-elected next year I'll all for getting one up here .
Here we go (Big Don this is for you and the other Ga. boys).There is going to be a Super Regional Paved Oval event (Region 4vs3).It will be hosted at Stricklands (daytona) by Mike Bean.The dates are to be reconfirmed before we publish the dates.Look for late September-October.

Also I will be having a RC garage sale this coming Sunday;
New Monster Stocks, New TRC tires, Used 3300 (4 cell),Tool and Tote Boxes, Gas starter box,and lots of misc stuff.I'll bring pass outs friday night.

If you havent raced at Strickland .... its super smooth, has electric and good lighting on the track. PLUS...... Mike Bean, Curt, Mel and the gang put on a great race program.

Bring it on georgia boys !.....muuuuuhahahahaha :devil:

c-ya, Rich

A bunch of guys are heading to the track today around 1130. I know of 6 19t'ers that are going to be there. Come on out.

hey george the truck bodies mixed into the oval stock class would be fun.....i would try it. if we did do it :thumbsup: . try to see if we are aloud and if we are then ill run that. jsut let me know if we are aloud before the two weeks of practice starts :wave:

Kevin, yep.

There usually are a bunch on Sunday's as well that come out and test and tune. It was hot yesterday, and I didn't get much done since my car seems to fall apart everytime I bring it out. My center shock had all the oil leak out while I was on vacation, I didn't notice it until after one run when i tried to blow off the dirt and it didn't move. Then I had a right front bearing bind up and stop completely but somehow the tire worked around it like a bushing. Dooooh! And I think it happened during my first lap out there since I was pushing real bad. After three packs I discovered the problem, but by then I was ready to pack it in. I'll be back on Thursday night, and I get out of work on Friday at 2:30 so I can be trackside early and get a couple laps in.

Shawn

Hey Shawn I made it over there a little late yesterday,missed ya by about 2 hours:) ,got a chance to try some CAPS there yesterday as well,that was fun,it stuck like glue but it also was 130deg. on the track lol.. Then my last run I finally came off the caps,really didn't want to but I did,and ran some foams..
Had a great time,even though I couldn't see for all the sweat from the heat,ehhhh.. See ya guys Friday night... Kevin

Shawn you have a PM...

Shawn- You left too early to see the "Wingless 19t Dodge" make hot laps! lol Ask Kevin or Dan about it!
-George

George are you saying you might run with no wing this Friday?

run it george w/o the wing

Some reason I think he will try it

as slow as I go I should pull mine off. :p

run it george w/o the wingThanks,Eugene-I will! A wing will be on standby Friday,just in case. Lap-times & overall performance in practice and/or 1st qual will determine putting the wing on or not. lol
-George

Out of curiosity which class would someone with a brushless system race against? I am thinking about getting one to see what its like.

Hey RCGen there are two tracks that run brushless that I know of,Encheconnee (http://www.echeconneesuperspeedway.tk/)is one,they run them in the 7.0 breakout class.Branford (http://www.kevinsrc.tk) will allow them in the Novice class also. Kevin
