Butch and Burke announced the Annual New Years Day Race. The track will be open on New Years Eve for practice. I will post times when I hear them. If anyone hears anything feel free to inform us all. We had some great guys there for the Toys for Tots race and hopefully will have another great race. I hear rumblings of the great "Juan" making his debut appearence in a Leading Edge ride. To anyone who hasn't been there the track is a super smooth flat ozite carpet track. I believe it is a 168' runline. It's very similar to the Snowbirds track in layout. Just a little shorter. It's a good track to practice and warm-up for the big one in Feb. Hope to see a big turnout. see you all soon. -- Matt Graves

FWIW, I spoke to the 'Grand Floridian' this week and he said the birds track run-line he hears most often is 168'. I believe NC might be a little narrower in the corners, but not much at all.

I'm down for 19-turn and 1/12th scale (mod or 19-turn).

See you all then!

I have measured the run line of New Castle between 159 to 160 feet on several attempts. But who cares, all I know is that I am stilt and Sonny is not! I can not wait to run on New Years day! Anyone want to run some 6 cell mod with me?

-Monti-

count me in for 4 cell stock and Indycar :wave:

Jerry you better cycle the 1700's for the New Years day race. You might want to ask if they are gonna run Road Wizards. You might even want to bring the Blackfoot. LOL I'd love to see your garage. LOL

Hey Monti -- Call Zubie....he was talking about a 6 cell Mod ride for snowbirds. I don't know his plans he may be running at Classic that day.

hahahha.. that's it.. The WIDE MRP Nascar is coming out... so make room Matti!!! LOL

Going to talk it over with the Crew Chief, I would like to come we'll see....


Monti, if we do make it i'll have my 6-cell car ready for you.

Did I hear 6-cell???? Someone has to get Zubie there.

I rather run 6 cell

Danny,

If you can make it, bring the little unit along for the ride too!

Hey Mark we got the dodge r/t bodies in today, we can ship you one tomorrow if you want, post back here or call 262-691-4347. Your name and address was in the computer. Thanks!!!!

Hays JR

If you guys all join the Moose you can run over for drinks between rounds!!!! LOL

That's what liquor stores are for........you drink before you get there..duhhh

Hey...I'm hearing the doors will open Saturday at 8:00 with racing at 11:00. Makes it kind of tough to do if you are coming Saturday only. Just a question for everyone. With New Years Day falling on Saturday...why wouldn't we use the normal Saturday show times with racing at 5:00 (or is it 6:00 can't remember). Would make it alot easier for out of towners to make it. If you agree....can someone talk to B&B and see if we can move the times back. Just a thought.........

Dwight

It would give you more time to let the hangover wear off!! Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.

6 cell stock? Looking for any oval thats still run 6 cell. Also, if anyone is interested in 6 cell stock, my home track in Elkhart, In at Pete Russell's R/C Speedway is have a show on the Jan. 15. This is one of the very few carpet oval tracks still run 6 cell of any kind. If interested ask me about the 15th.

Z main loser
you will get alot of racers running 6 cell stock only if you run for money...

no body at new caslt run 6 cell stock except touring oval and 6 cell mod.
Come on new years and get you some of that.
good luck


Starting later on new years day is cool with me.

5pm


later
jason

Now all we need is B&B to sign up for it.......can someone say something to them....

I nominate Jason! I don't have Butch's #. and I can't ever understand Burke on the phone or pa system.

Plus I'm gonna be there, but probably will just be wrenching on "Juan's" car. No wheelin' that week.

If they started at 6 it might be possible for me to make it, depends on how the night before goes. hehehhe. Mr. Kemp will you be in attendance??????

Hays JR

FWIW, I hear 'Mission: Ego Repair' has concluded with outstanding results. Will the stock wunderkind from Champaign now try it out with rip???

Bring that pitty you call a 12th scale with too...I'm done for awhile with the big car. Must get ready for Vinton =)

Rip will be applied via my newfound batch of Orion brushes. Now if I can make it turn will be in good shape.

This weeks mission de-pitty my 1/12 scale ride before the 1st

Merry Christmas to all,





.

Could someone post the address info for the track.

also, is there any practice on friday or friday night??

Lastly, My club is having an oval only race on Jan. 2nd. It is a second leg to a point series deal that we are running with the club in Dubuque, IA. There will be a great crowd of stock, 19t 0 degree, modified and probably 1/12 19t. Anyone gonna make the round triP???? I am!

New Castle Moose Lodge
605 New York Ave
New Castle, Indiana 47362

Take IN-3 from I-70 N through New Castle. First street past train bridge is New York. Follow New York for 2-3 blocks, Moose lodge is on RIGHT hand side. The track is in the back right portion of the building as it sits on the street

I'll be there NYD! I'm up for 4C Mod and 6C Mod...I'll have the little bullet too but it would be tough to run all three. Monti/Danny...are you serious about 6C or do you just want to test and tune during practice?

Let me know...

Dwight :thumbsup:

I'm up for racing 6-cell. Sounds like there will be enough cars to run two classes. Bout' the only real way to know anything cause running 6-cell with any other classes on the track involves a lot of lifting.

I want to race 6 cell...I am not going to have any new sticks or anything but I figure if I can get to 3:45 on dead shorted stuff I'll be money come fresh sticks.

-Monti-

Monti...I'm in the same boat.....will be fun anyway....we can race to the 3:30 mark!

Jim,

I see you out there!!! Will you have your 12th scale ready to run 19-turn or mod??

Guys I'm on call that weekends , if i can get one of my fellow workers to cover for me i will be there, if not well have FUN!!!

All (even Nelson),

I have been wanting to get out there and race (insert smart-a$$ comments here), but just haven't had the time.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday!

Greg

Daddy make a visit to a race track??? That's unheard of!!! Kraios at the track with a built car ready to race......Never. Hey Greg if you start building a car you can make the New Years NIGHT race.....2006. lol Happy Holidays to you and yours......Give me a call. Later Matt :D
