Thanks to Nick for bring out the computer & running the races on Saturday - sorry I wasn't able to be there all day. Nice to see a better turnout, hopefully we can improve more in August. The Oval Championship race On August 22 is on SUNDAY - so all of you who said you can make it on that day have no excuses. Please make plans, the track is great and we will run any class of cars that make it.

Looks like we'll have trophies for the race. We will have a flyer soon.

Ok Give me your setup Dave. What other tires have been used? When we raced at Gd. Rapids we used three Gold R's and a Green S on the left rear. Are you using EHW's? Wide or narrow on the rear? Full byflo wing? I have a ton of Greens, Reds and Pinks. No Blues. I wish I had saved the setup from Gd. Rapids. Mark what have you run for a setup? Thanks!

mel i used a x-15 xtreme with the ksg cross brace,hpi center shock 60 wt,lt blue hpi spring,green frt springs,35 wt side shock oil,blue springs,blue rt frt s,green lt frt l,narrow green l rr l and a wide green rr standard.tried a gold rt frt car was pushy on exit.the gear i used with a 19 turn was a 108 spur and a 40 pinion.i also used a buds super byflo and hi downforce monte carlo

Mel buddy, I am in the same boat you are. I have no blues. When I ran funtime a month ago I used three greens and a gold RF. It worked out well. A blue RF would be the way to go though.

You guys are gonna laugh at my setup, but here it is.

rf-
blue progressive spring, blue net s tire
lf-
white progressive spring, green or pink s tire
rr-
wide blue r net tire
lr-
narrow green l tire
side shocks- blue & gold spring, 25w oil
center shock-hpi shock, 60 wt oil, 12# touring car spring, #3 piston, med spring steel t plate
Huge buds wing( on the pod), ford hd body
Slider chassis with the batteries in the middle.
Just about anything works out there, its just a matter of preference. Turn 4 is pretty much flat, so its tough to set up the car for that while still going fast on the rest of the track, so GOOD LUCK!
PS My rollout was 3.13. (using the 2.5" rr tire)

Thanks Guys! Anyone have a blue front to trade for a green?

to the top

I heard that some of the guys from LaGrange, In are coming up. I talked to David Bryan today.

Hopefully we can get some of the guys not going to Paved Oval Nats to come out. Ernie, Ulbriks Zubie, Racknor, Deano??

I spoke to Keith and Greg about it. There is a hope there, but I can not promise anything. I know I however plan on attending.

any of you guys comming to paved nats next week?

later Jason

Im planning on going, but It's still about 50/50 getting time from work.

Hi guys, Just wanted to know if it would be possible to get some track time before the 22nd? I currently race at the Schoolyard in Lagrange, IN and will be attending your race. I really need to get familiar with you track but with us running on Saturday's at the Schoolyard it has been tuff. If there is anyway possible to get a practice session on Sunday please contact me at 260-242-0687 and I am sure Dave and myself will be there.

P.S. Could I get a phone # for the person in charge of running the track. Would love to get intouch!

Thanks,
Brian

Great, Hope you guys can make it.

Metal - Check your mail.

Nick How bout the flyer???????????????????????????????????????????

Racnor, Dean and I will be there.

Racnor, Dean and I will be there.Sweeeeeet, the more the better!

Racnor, Dean and I will be there.

Ok so that is going to make it worth the price of admission.

There is a smile on my face now. Racknor, Deano and Mel. Talk about a treat. How long has it been since you boys ran caps? hhahah. We will see you there. I will bring the car soap and wax, if I get the keys.

The last time we ran at Gd. Rapids. Greg and I have been to Indy but you know that is a different animal. I will be set up by eight to get some track time before the race. All Keith and Greg keep saying is how they hate caps. I think they will be easy pickings.

I think they will be easy pickings.Mel, Thats pretty funny, but we all know better. You guys wont have any problems getting up to speed. See me about tires.
I'm gonna try to get there around 8 also. If anyone wants practice, Tuesday night is open practice.
If anyone is interested in practice on Saturday, speak up.

Dave -

Dave -
I will be up for Saturday - Maybe in the evening?

I don't think I'll make it Sat., but if anyone wantt to go out there I'm sure they can talk Mike into it, right Mike?

Nick -

Nick - Where is that flyer?????????

Here's the flyer....

Wish I Could Make It But Nationals Tapped Out My Racing Budget For A While

Anybody want to practice on Saturday? Dave and I will try to be out there if people want it.

I'll be out there this afternoon mowing and stuff, so If anyone wants to come out I'll be there if its not raining.

rain, rain, go away, come again another day

shhhhhhh. Don't say the "R" word. Just ask Kevin M. Either way, I can not wait to get on the track again....

Hey jamie, I'm going out there right now. Just got online to check the weather.


Brian, you gonna make it Sunday man?
Hope to see you there

Yeah I am at work right now but we will see you there Sunday morn. I talked to a few people and it looks like a couple more people possible on top of what had allready been mentioned.

Work huh, They pay you for this?

Yeah buddy..... Believe me it has bad times as well. Right now it is just slow. Working for a cable provider has it high points.

"There's a vortex created by the cars going around the track that keeps the weather away. That's why it won't rain at an oval race." One of the best quotes I've heard from DW. But the Best one has to be, "....he's doing things the right way. All the marks on the right side of his car. If you have marks on the right side it means you're usin 8 wheels instead of 4, and if you have marks on the left siad you just in the way."

Now that I have my front tire problem figured out I might just have to come out and make the swan song run for my L4.

And what was the front tire problem eh?????

And what was the front tire problem eh?????

I'll tell you at the Snowbirds!!!!

Snowbirds is a ways away yet Brian. I have to wait that long?

I hope you noticed I said AT Snowbirds......

I hope you noticed I said AT Snowbirds......

Yeah, I caught the "AT" part. Who says I am going to the birds? If I can not get time off I won;t be going. I sure am going to try though. I told myself I wouldn't miss them this year.

Well, we had a pretty good turnout for a summer oval race. 23 entries!
Thanks everyone for coming. As for me, I think my radio is going to Airtronics for some help. I still had a good time though.
Thanks Nick for running the race and providing the trophies.

Keep watching, we'll post about the September race as soon as we get a date.

Here the link to the flyer for the Region 5 Oval race if anybody is interested.

Hey guys,
I know you've been dying to know about the next race. I know i have since the radio hits took me out of the main at the last race.
We're looking at October 3rd. The track is busy 2 weekends in Sept. and the computer is busy the others.
One of those Saturdays is a possibility, but it's not looking good for Sept.
The thing about October is that Nick is going to have indoors going close to that.
So -- need some input.

Hey Dave Call me or e-mail me I need to see if yo are coming ot MP this weekend
I really need some stuff from Nick
E-mail me your # and I can call you too
