David is right on about our visitors from other tracks. This Saturday gives HW regulars a chance to race outside of Jacksonville. Bradford is going "under the lights". Who all is going? Pro-spec guys made the trip a few months ago will the others follow. I plan on going and running the nastruck class. BTW, there is also a novice class so bring the kids.


How much are cap tires? I doubt I can get a truck body by next weekend so I may have to wait for the following trip for that class.

Cliff, my car was fast.... up until someone spun in front of me in the first Qul. and took out the whole front end. I never got the handle on it after that.

Congrats on your win in the southern 500.... Look forward to racing you sat. night under the lights... sould be a good one.

No shame in getting beat by Mike.... His car didn't skip a beat all night, And He also Drove the wheels off of it.. Really he had almost no tires left after the mains. But two weeks in a row is alittle much... Going to have too try and do sometime about that.

SEEYA SAT. NIGHT

What ever Ya'll want to run. 19t would probally be just you, Donnie and myself. So, unless there are others, I say we just run stock.

Butts(tm)- Nice write-up! Speaking of novels,you should see all of the time sheets I have laying around from the last series,as well as Friday night's race! Yikes! lol I have more than enough pages,not including your exemplary "Monday Morning Recap" or "This Week in Hobby World Racing"??? (We should contact Comcast for a local show slot! lol it would end up like "This Week In NASCAR"......... or "Wayne's World"!),maybe we should publish them! Naaaah,save the trees! lol

Awesome night for Hobby World as it saw some of the BADDEST 19t oval mo'fo's in Florida and probably the South East. It was definitely a night to remember, and will hopefully happen again. Not only does Boylan put on some of the finest race events in Florida, but walks the walk as well. He didn't decimate the track record like we all thought he would/could/might. At first i thought Bear was going to hang on, but Billy Bruce and Mike Boyland powered through traffic and ran a very very tight line with each other and still gained on Bear. And they didn't look back. Awesome run. The video is crappy since its encoded into mpeg1(20MB). It looks better on AVI (70MB), and I can hook you up with a copy of it on cd if you were one of the A-Main qualifiers pictured below. I didn't recognize all the cars so they aren't all named, Tom P, Billy and Ronnie.

I think I will this time Dave, I wanted to a couple months ago but didn't have the time before my flight. We go right through enfield to get to bradley. I will check it out.

Shu, the Red Sox are away, I think in New York, so I'm probably going to see them play there, its the only way for most boston fans to see them play the yankees. The home games are sold out the first day the tix go on in the first few hours.

going to be out thursday trying to make this car go around the track the way I want it to.

-ChrisChris- The spring rate of Wolfe RED springs (standard style) is 10.0 lbs/in.
And a Wolfe GREEN (standard) is 12.0 lbs/in. The closest Assoc springs would be a .018 (9.2 lbs/in) or a .020 (14.1 lbs/in). An Assoc .022 spring is easy to remember: .022 spring=22 lbs/in. I have an extra red & green spring for you to have if ya want it. See me Friday.
