Here is a thread that we can talk about are plans.

Good deal Bob, just what we needed our own thread to discuss our plans for the new track!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:






Here is a thread that we can talk on about are plans.

It is time to get serious about the new track. We need to get ahold of every oval racer in our area and get them involved in the new track. There was bad blood with some people from the get go with the other place. Now it is time top make a change for the better, instead of being talked to like a dog everyone can voice their opinions. I tried to make the other track work, but when i got there no one cared about fixing the track, so now it it time to show people what a real racetrack can be. So everyone lets do our part to get the word out and make this a reality. Thanks Jeff Johnson11 :thumbsup:





Good deal Bob, just what we needed our own thread to discuss our plans for the new track!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

If you guy need any advice or cost on stuff let me know. I might be able to give some input. PM Bob Williams and he can tell you how much the carpet cost, we just bought ours.

Thanks Mike we will need all the help we can get. We are just alittle lost about how the finance part will work for a club but we are working it all out. We may not be able to pull this together but we are sure going to give it a try. We will need a lot of help to make this happen.
Good to here Pontoon will have a new Oval track soon. It is great that now we have another great place to visit. Let us know the date of your first race and I will try my best to be there. :thumbsup:

I have a time set up to look at two different buildings on Wednesday.

I'll work up the drawings to organize what ever space we acquire.

Hi guys, I am just getting into r/c. The only thing i have right now is a monster truck. I enjoy racing it outdoors at the race place, but i know how alot of you feel. I feel like I have been ignored several times there and it makes it aggrevating to keep going there. But I have also got alot of good info there from Matthew on my truck. I want to get into oval racing, but i have no knowledge of carpet racing or equipment. I have also been following the threads to see what is going to happen. I am not going to take sides or slam either side, I am not like that. I just want to race and have fun.....with that being said.....is there any way I can help in your search I would like to get involved....but you will have to help me get started in oval carpet racing.....I am not sure how much space you need, but i have access to a pole barn with a concrete floor. Let me know, sounds like good things to come.......Jerry

BrentP,

I also wanted to mention, my father in law has a connection with the carpet shoppe in springfield, if you need to buy new carpet maybe i could see if a discount could be negotiated??? Jerry

Well Jerry you are more then welcome to get involved with the Oval guys on the new track. As far as a car we could help you find what you need for what you want to spend. We need 4000 S.F. to have a track. Anything would help.

We will be happy to help you out in anyway we can with oval. This thread was not started to bash anyone. We only want to promote oval and find a place were we can race and have a good time. Anyone that wants to help us is welcome and thank you for your comments has I stated before we will need a lot of help to make it happen.

Well, that leaves the pole barn out, not big enough.....but how much carppet is needed? I can check into what I can get it for....Jerry

BrentP,

Thanks to Hank it has been changed , sorry to all for my mess up. :hat:

It will depends on the building that we will be able to rent. But I would say three 12 foot wide rolls 70 to 80 feet long. It will take a special type of Ozite carpet for Oval racing.

ok Bob, I would be glad to get a quote, dont know if it will do any good but worth a shot....do i ask for ozite or is there a special type of ozite?

Thanks, all I know is that its Ozite carpet and I thought there was only a few places to get it. I think it only comes in Gray and maybe black but not sure of that. :roll:

I think maybe he can find ozite through the carpet store, it is a special kind of carpet that was originaaly built for automtive purposes new car trunk areas where you see the real fine carpet. But if you look up ozite it comes up under other companies other than Calandra!!!!. We need approximatly 36x80 which in ozite carpet rolls is 3 pieces 12x80 or 320 sq. yards, we can get that much carpet from calandra shipped to the door for $1380.00 :thumbsup:

36x70 jeff is what we need for the space that we will have.

I made a call to our contact at the carpet shoppe, he doesnt have it but will check to see what he can get it for...he should call me back tomorrow.....Jerry

Do you guys have a counting system???

We may have one we can use till we get enough saved to purchase are own. :thumbsup:

Do you guys have a counting system???
do you have an extra one?????

I just went by & looked at the buildings that we are supposed to see tomorrow. They look very good to me but we will have to wait & see. I'm working on some drawings for the space & for what I think we can afford it looks like 36'x70' will be the best we can do for track size. That is pretty close to what Gene had but a few feet wider.

You might ask Timmy Richardson that is a regular at the Race Place. He is a good kid and I heard through the rumor mill he is getting out of Oval and he has some good stuff.

Well there is a couple of us going to look at a couple buildings tonight one of us will give everyone a report tomorrow. And we need to meet with everyone on go over some things.:thumbsup:

Thanks Bob, I will try to look him up.....Jerry

We went and looked at the buildings last night and found one that will work and the price is real cheep. So we are going to have a meeting on Nov. 14 around 1:00 at the northtown mall food court if that is a good time for everyone to go over somethings.

Try to find out if we can all go look at the place that same day. It would be nice for everyone could look at it together. I have some lumber at the house that we can use for what ever.
