Bryon

Good to see you back on here again Bryon. Are you going to make the spring Chilli,mo race?

Jason Jackson

you are correct Bryon.

Hope to see you at the track.

Craig Maline

So how is things these days at the track? I recieved a letter from S/A today, whats up?

Brian, I tried to email you back the other night and it came back to me. Try again and we'll see if it goes through.

I have heard rumors of salvation for a long time. Check with Phil, Im pretty sure he would know what is going on there if anything is to materialize. I cant see both of them making it but that is not for me to decide. I guess we will go to the track that wants us there. HT has a ways to go. I know of several who dont want anythig to do with the place after last year. Ill give them another shot I guess and see what happens.

Thanks Rob, I figured out the tires for my truck. I think I would have to agree with you on both of them both not making it at the same time, but who knows. Also, its not up to me either since I cant seem to stay in this country for more than 4 weeks at a time. See ya all next spring trying to study for promotions instead of racing.
B

I plan to race the Hobbyplex cup cars and maybe Pro Stock but we will have to see how things pan out (no pun intended) and who runs what. Just so up at the test and tune day this Saturday (25th) and see who turns out.

Chad O

I saw a couple on here for pretty cheap. I also saw that alot of guys that were running touring oval that they were not changing their setups to run oval, they just set them up "flat" and ran they with their on road setup still in the car. You could always try that.

Shane

I had a good time. I would sure like to see more guys coming out and give it a chance this year. There has certaily been some hot things done and said but it is a great track. The only thing I would like to see done is that there be some rules enforced this year. I hate tracks that let things be a free for all. If we are going to run under a rule body then stick to it and TECH Those cars. There was mention of wanting the regionals for oval. That means we need to race under the roar rules every week. Doesnt matter if it is motor rules or the length of the race. Racing with no motor rules and 5 minutes instead of 4 isnt really doing us any good in my view. Let race by the rules so that when or if there is a bigger race 90% the field isnt out to lunch on gearing or motor set up. Just a thought HT for you to think over, not a kick in the chops by any means.

Shoot me an email Omaha and Ill be happy to help you with a car. The set up in Cowboy's car was one of mine that I run everywhere and he really liked the car. It is a comfortable set up that goes fast too. The one I ran today was cornering beast. It is a prototype and it cornered with just about no steering. All I had to do is get it started in the corner and the car did the rest. It was very interesting to drive (right Chad O). Kinda tough to get a real good feel with the carpet being kinda dry from the summer but it was fun anyway.

I had heard the tea SD had a track going up but havent heard any details really. I really feel stongly that if a roar event is even in the thoughts of ht that we absolutely have to race weekly by the rules. That should be a non issue. I guess it is like this. What good is racing 5 min, then having a sanctioned event that has to be run at 4 min (19turn for example should be 4 min, not 5). Why let the p-94 brushes be run when they are illegal in roar competition. OK, maybe even if they dont tech the cars weekly, those of us who run legal and under the rules will have a clear advantage come a sanctioned event the way I see it. Im sure that this will be an issue with the roar directors. Now I know that for the majority these things are pretty trivial to most but when you go to regional or national events you want to be prepared to conform to the written rules and racing with no rules isnt teaching us anything or preparing you to know what the rules are. I really think after the rocky start that ht had last year that rules and fun atmosphere should be a major priority if it is to survive.

Yea Rob. That is a bit loose for me but I will work to get my car a little more freed up and see how my lap times improve. Looks like I will have to learn how to drive all over again.(Not that I could in the first place).

Chad

You will get it Chad. I just handed that car over so you would know what a fast cornering car felt like. That car was on the edge of out of control and that usually meens that they are fast. We have a long way to go though. Even with the track being green, and longer the laps we ran were way short of last year so far. It will get better with laps though.

I know. By the way you right about that t-plate it WAS on upside down. I changed it and everything lines up perfect now. I'm in the process of doing a new BENCH setup, red right spring, gold left and center shock that I got from you, just trying to get the travel where they need to be. That was the fastest I've been there though. I will email you about tires later on, need to see if we have the money, wife has to go back out of town for work all this week.

Chad

First Oval race is this Saturday. Oct 2,
Hope to see everyone there doors open at 8:00am racing starts at 11:30am.
See ya at the track!!!!!!

http://www.tconl.com/~racefactory/index.html

Low turnout for the first race,some good racing and fun had by most.

Thanks to Kody "lucky touch" Beller and his Dad for making the trip!

hey phill sorry I missed you at KC last week. There will be a couple of us to come on the 30th and 31st.


Jason Jackson

Yeah, missed you guys too,had a good time with the StL guys and getting to run some dirt at Fastlane.:wave:

Hobbyplex results are up on the website check it out.
http://www.tconl.com/~racefactory/

Aaaaaaaaw Phil, I missed you too.:) Got that rollout thing figured out too.:thumbsup:
Had to let the Springfield guy win so they come back.:)

See you Friday.

Yeah, figured you would be fast, had to stay home to run on the big rug=179 ft runline.

Sounds like I would have been 3rd behind Jason and you :cry: ,good runs for you both.:thumbsup:

I noticed that for the Champ race that it says ROAR rules apply. How many of the rules will we be using? No Binaries in the stock class. Will we also be running 4 min races then? And should we be running these every week? Rob M had posted to this effect in the other Hobbyplex thread, but these are questions that we need answers to.

Chad O

The flier I received last month said "ROAR motor and weight rules apply"

Yeah, figured you would be fast, had to stay home to run on the big rug=179 ft runline.

Sounds like I would have been 3rd behind Jason and you :cry: ,good runs for you both.:thumbsup:
Thanks Phil. I can't wait to get up there at the end of the month to run on the 179 ft rug.

Mike you just can't stand that i beat you.:jest:

Hey that wasn't the first time I've been beat. Every now then I even let Bob W beat me. Heck, Matt Bayless beat me at Gene's old place. I think Matt was the only one to beat me there.

Thanks Phil just wanted to know which rules we will use. I plan on buying a new motor and just didn't want to get one that I could not use at the two day race. As for anty other rules I could care less as long as every one is happy. See you guys this weekend.

Chad

Any rules questions should be directed to Tim to be official. I know the F1 class will be running 6 minutes.We have 3300 mah batteries,are at the track all day, might as well get a few more minutes on the track.

Good fun today, to bad so much else was going on with the KC race. Once things settle down I hope more people will show. Thanks for your help today Craig, I felt like a newby, been along time since I have bought a new motor. Car is getting better everyday. I almost had you, though, Craig. Good seein you again Jim, bring that body next weekend so I can paint it up for you. See you guys later.:wave:

Chad

we couldnt make it in today.. got home way to late from kc.. see ya on the flip side...

cowboy :thumbsup:

AJ

see ya there

Looking foward to making up there in two weeks.:thumbsup:

If Im not mistaken. In order to become a sanctioned track you have to follow that bodies rules. HP is in my book as a sanctioned track. My question is this. Why become sanctioned and not follow the guidelines. If you cant race under those rules all the time then why should a sanctioned event be granted to any track. Like I mentioned to some others a couple of weekds ago. What good is running illegal stuff and race times on a weekly basis when a sanctioned event (if they get one) has to be run by the rules, no questions asked. I guess I would like to hear what everyone else thinks on this one. Im there to have fun when I make it down but I would rather be tuning my cars and motors to the rules and be racing against legal stuff. should I or anyone else attend a sanctioned event there or somewhere else. What is so hard about following the rules? Now I do want to make it very clear that this is not a stir for the pot. Just wanting everyones take on it.

Rob --

We've got the same problem at our track -- but they don't tech anything, so what incentive is there for anybody to pay attention to rules ?? Even at bigger races there (non-ROAR) it's pretty lax on enforcing any rules -- not even basic stuff like roof height and min. weight. It seems tracks in general have gotten away from this stuff. I remember in the early 1990's, even at weekly races our cars were checked for weight EVERY HEAT ! And back then we had 50+ guys at every weekly race ... ahhhh those were the days .

It looks like three of us from Denver are coming to race on the 30th and 31st. Looking forword to running their, I've heard the track is awesome:thumbsup: :wave:

The more we get the better.
Yes the track is awesome!!!!!
179ft run line.
Phil B. has the track record in stock and 19t.
See ya at the Track

Later
Craig Maline
http://www.tconl.com/~racefactory/

Phil Track record, Imagine that. Was up Craig.

Whats Rob Talking about?

Shane

Phil what are the track records? Post them and be proud of it.:thumbsup:

Bob

Charlie and I had a terrific time yesterday. Thanks to all the folks at the Hobbyplex, a fine show, good racing and once again, what a facility.

I would personally like to thank Mike L. for corn marshalling for me, Phil and Batman for running 19-0 with us and everyone there who made us feel welcome.

Plan on seeing you guys in two weeks. I'll be passing the word and trying to generate more interest in your 2-day event.

Later,

AJ
