Ok, So I am getting ready for the 18th of Sept. What kind of tires am I looking at? 19turn.

Jamie,
We have all been running stock this summer.

This is a good stock setup:

Fronts
LF-BSR Purple
RF- BSR Double Purple
LR- BSR Pink
RR - BSR Double Pink (some even get away with a Purple)

For 19T I would probably go down to a Pink RR and leave the rest alone.
I know Frank P. ran 19T last year at the big race, Frank can you help out?
Thanks
Eric

i run 3 purples and a double purple right front in stock and 19t

Thanks Frank

Eric,

See ya soon! Mario...

Is the turn out looking good?

Adrian,
From the guys I talked to looks to be a good one. I emailed alot of guys from out of town. A majority said they would be making it out.

Frank,

You'll be there with your 7x1's alright. You'll de driving the big orange dump truck too! 8's and 9's should do the trick. The 21st is a go, see ya there.

Ziggy, Pete, Rocket, can you guys make on the 21st for alittle T&T?

Mario...

You'll be there with your 7x1's alright.....8's and 9's should do the trick.
Shoot, 6x4 is the ticket

6x4? thats all you got? i'm running my 5x5. its all rpm baby.

Cant wait, it's gonna be a good one!

we shall see mauhahaha!

Anyone up for a 100 lapper in the main this Saturday the 14th?
I am ready.

Awesome!

Muahahahah - havent read that lately! LOL

SURE SHOT added to the sponsor list, we appreciate it Alan !!!

Well another 100 lapper is in the books.

Jeff Creary with a fast car all night got into some trouble on the start. Bob Hendry all the way down from Michigan swapped leads back and forth with Rick White the first 80 laps of the race. Joel Biro, Garey Smiley and myself (Eric H.) waited in the wings conserving battery nearly 3 laps down. Around the 80 lap mark Bob and Rick's batts slowly began to fade. Tony Carruba (The man behind Team Power Push), then took the lead with, Garey, Eric and Joel charging hard. Garey and Joel lasted into the mid 90's but their batts gave up on them.

With Tony still leading, Eric and Craig Stiwald were the only 2 left. I gave it everything I had, closed the gap but dumped on lap 99 coming out of turn 2, as Carruba took the checkered flag, with 100 laps.

CONGRATS Tony C. on the win.
After the race, Tony commented "I finally got a win at this place!!"

Well deserved Slim !!

Hope to see everyone out this weekend (8/21) for a little test and tune before the big race !!!

when are we going to see some mod action? are they going to run before the race?
