A few with some bad luck, but some good racing today. Thanks to Jake and Andrew from Fastlane for making the trip from KC. :wave: Hope you guys can make it up for the BRL Spring Sizzler in March. :thumbsup:

Tim Ski

Thanks guys had a blast wish I could have gotten my 13.5 up to pace.The 10 car 100 lap main was alot of fun.

Took us 6 hours to get back to KC with the snow storm :freak:


Well be back for sure.

Jake

Hey B Mullins where have you been. Are you out of town TDY or just busy with the kids. Come on down this Saturday, Mike & I will be there.


Jim

Hey it looks like this might be the last weekend to get some laps in at the Plex before the BRL race. Hope mother nature lets me make it out there.

Your right, one more Saturday before the BRL race, big onroad race next weekend. Looks like about 30 and only 10% chance of snow for Saturday.

Any local guys interested in running Monday night, Febuary 26th? I'd like to spray the track and try to work a little of a groove in after the onroad race, probably from 6-9PM. If I can get six to ten cars, that should be enough to get the groove going. Let me know.

Tim Ski

Racer185 I just found your post. I have been busy with college and playing paintball as of lately. Thinking of trying to make it back into racing next fall, if this job ever calms down.


Good luck to all in the BRL race.

What's up B!!

We will be running practice on February 26th to get a groove started after the Carpet Onroad Challenge onroad race!! Here's who is on the list: Jim & Mike Carson, Randy Ryder, BATMAN, Phil B, Shaggy, Dennis Johnson, Chad Loveless, Mike Garrett, Mike Soltau, The Captain and Mike Lafferty.

If anyone else would like to get some laps in, post your name here so I know what to expect.

Thanks,

Tim Ski

What time are you practicing on Monday? If Stan has my permission slip signed then I will be there.

How's that groove comming

It was pretty good, some 4.0s is 4300 and some 4.3s in 13.5. It doesn't look pretty right now with the road course groove showing so black but the oval groove came in nicely. :)

Tim Ski

Sorry guys looks like mother nature is going to take her first win of the season. Every highway into Omaha is shut down. The roads are covered and blowing and drifting snow is preventing the plows from clearing them.


After talking with the Hobbyplex crew in the interest of safety we fell the best decision is to postpone the race until next weekend.

Sorry guys there just is no good decision in this situation. For those that have spent the money to travel or taken the time off work I apologize for the inconvenience. But I would feel much worse if somebody got hurt in a car accident trying to get to the race. After all it is just a hobby.

Unfortunately the BRL race will be postponed until next week because of the weather. For the locals interested, we will be running regular races tomorrow and the track will be open today for practice. Hope mother nature cooperates next weekend. :thumbsup:

Tim Ski

John Sparks with fast lap by .023 seconds in 4300, THANKS to the Mich guys for coming to play, hope to see ya back here next week!

We will be racing oval tomorrow! If you get dug out and want to come out and play, doors open at 8AM and racing at 11:30. Track is fast, TQs within a couple seconds of track records today.

Tim Ski

Man I got cabin fever just might have to do that

I will be back for some more punishment see ya in the morning. Thanks again Tim

A big THANK-YOU! to Tim & Phil & all the gang at the Plex. . .
And to all the racers prevented from showing due to weather, if you've not been here
befor, all I can say is WOW! what a race-place. In fact your not gonna belive what
these guys did for us three (Mark & Mike), who flew in yesterday, thats right, flew.
It seems going OVER the storm was the way to go. Anyway, they #1 : wouldn't let
let us pay to race in a "club-race" on Sat. #2: provided us with paragon, (airlines
wont let you take it onboard) #3: gave us all one of those cool orange Novak hats.
(seems I forgot a comb & they were just helping a guy out) And finally #4: Tim & Phil
gave each one of us the brand new Protoform T.H.D. body. Thank-you, Thank-you all
for the generocity, & a fun raceday at the track. I'll do all I can to make it next week!

John S.

Thank you John, it's the least we could do since you made the trip. I'm glad you all had a good time, hope to see you all again!

Track was even faster today!!

Three runs broke Ben Sacketts 74/5:04.175 track record in 4300!! Nearly one lap put on the track record, 74/5:00.480 for Phil Beardshear!!! Rob Murdock ran a 74/5:03.303 in qualifiying to break the record as well! Phil also backed up the record by laying down a 74/5:03.926 in the main!

Hey Danny~ I think you broke your broom! GO LANCERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't mean to step on another track's thread but I wanted you guys to know about this.

For all you oval racers suffering from summertime withdrawal from carpet racing, Fastlane Raceway & Hobbies in Blue Springs, MO will be holding a Summer Carpet Oval Series. The Series will consist of 6 one-day events on Saturdays with your best 4 finishes counting towards the Series points championship. There will be awards and a BBQ dinner following the final Series event in September. The pit area and track will be air conditioned.

We'll follow BRL rules except that we will allow ROAR approved Lipo batteries (21.5 / Lipo runs 13.5 class; 17.5 / Lipo runs 10.5 class). Lipo cars must meet BRL weight rules. If there is interest we'll also run our "house" FasTruck class (4wd TC with 4 cells and 13.5 BL or 27t BR motors; or 21.5 BL/ Lipo) and Losi Sliders.

Race Dates:
