Hello I'm Danny Bracken for any of the old timers that may remember me. Well I'm back into RC after being out for a good many years. Anyone still racing like John Steed, ?Joe? Marlowe

I'm living in Atlanta now and just started racing at www.tfbraceway.com and still back trips back to Jax to see friends and family and would like to see if there is any Nitro Touring racing going on at HW. I got out of the hobby before they paved the off road track and would like to try and run down there when visiting. What is the schedule?

I'm running a Serpent 710 until we start running indoors due to the cool weather and then will be running a RC12L4 4Cell

Your name doesn't sound familiar but I am not usually good with names but faces...Malin and Marlowe still races at HW with a couple of seasoned guys that came back after a long vacation like myself, Butts (tm), Meridith. Nitro racing was just added to our third Saturday schedule...HW still races the weekly Friday night unless we have a Saturday race...the next Saturday will be 20Nov04...

I took the XXX-S over to HW today for the first time in about 6 weeks. What's with the track layout? I tried to figure out a way to use the whole thing and still run over the scoring loop and couldn't find a way. Was it modifed by the nitro guys this weekend or are you running something different now?

rcgen
10-25-2004, 10:11 PM
It's still the same except after the sweeper you come straight out onto the oval and head towards the scoring loop and turn right into the touring course...there is a section we no longer use which is right above the little oval.

BryanW92
10-26-2004, 05:17 PM
That was the only way that made sense to me too. But, its a shame to give up that bit of track. What kind of lap times are you running on the new layout with 19T?

rcgen
10-26-2004, 07:38 PM
I think they were running low to mid 11. Rook probably had a high 10 car but his transponder wasn't working so it was a manual count. The change was done went the nitro guys were running. They actually was using the entire track oval and road course. Then the electric guys decided to leave the track like it was and only race the inside

Where have all the touring racers gone? Hmm? I still see them at the track they're just not running their touring cars at this time.

I think a road course only event scheduled on a day when there were no conflicting races anywhere within 200 miles could draw some people in for a shootout on a smaller scale. Like the few people who have actually bought 12th scale cars lately. Where are they planning on running them? I still want to run my TC3 and since I won another 6cell pack in the raffle friday night that makes 6 packs I have to run. Hmm? 6 pack? That kinda has a nice sound to it does'nt it?

If a road course only event were run the track could be changed slightly to use parts of the oval that really cant be done when racing both oval and road on the same day/night.

While racing at RPM the last time I had several people ask about touring, 12th scale and nitro in Jax so maybe there would be an interest, Seems a lot of people have heard we're having a good time here and maybe they want in on the fun too.

I quit racing for a number of reasons.

(deleted a bunch of whining)

I was abducted by aliens and they took my cars away.

(Is that more positive, Bear?)

How many nitro guys are planing to race on the 20th at HW????

xpss
11-08-2004, 08:35 PM
bryan92,
first of all do you do any thing other than whine?every post i see of yours is so negitive.ypu complain about everything.as for more oval practing than touring,that is true.theres 45 oval cars and 5 touring cars.do the math.the touring cars practice every week without a problem.
as for the 19t motor it will only go as fast as you squeeze the trigger!!!
and for the so called pros running into you im sure it was all our/there fought.i mean you sound perfect in every way!i myself and a few others gave up racing touring to give some other guys a chance to win on race nite and everyone else quit as well.i will be getting a new touring car real soon and plan on racing it every week at hobbyworld.
i dont mean to be so harsh but just read your own posts and look how much whinning you are doing.also once we go to daytime racing we will have more touring cars so touring will be back!!! bear yarbrough(race director) :mad:

Possiable HW schedule don't hold me to this till either BEAR (xxps) or John Hart (deepblue) confirm.

looking at the calander you have this friday night the 12th them Sat the 20th then firday the 26th. and from what Bear has said starting Dec 4th it will be saturday shows which are the 4th, 11th, 18, then it looks like we'll be off till the 8th of Jan because of Christmas and new years fall on saturday. just my .17 cents

Well another weekend with only two elec. touring. I guess Stoney and I will battle for the points because no one else wants to play with us but I may have another racer to play with us for a little while. Dont be skered just bring it and drive it like you stole it.
