Being a newbe 1/4 scaler what is the entry fee & do we need to bring our fuel or is it provided? Looking forward to May, are you accepting pre entries? :thumbsup:

Fuel?...I'm not sure yet. It will probably be bring your own QSAC legal fuel........ Also, You must be a current QSAC member to compete at this event.

I haven't thought about Pre Entries much. .............. I'm not sure we need it, Why??........So far I have over 20 racers committed (Verbally & Email) to this event. We're hoping for a lot more!!!

Hi Sonny,


I'm not sure what the pavement set up is..? LOL I have never raced a Sprint on pavement (yet).

I think its fairly close though, Pipchocks ran with us, and he said he only changed one or two springs. I run like 16 & 18 # springs on the fronts, and 12 & 10 in the rears.

BRP Tires, the Street Treads work good, all four corners, and the brand new block pattern tires hook up great too. Some guys run the ribbed fronts. I'm running about 1/2' rear stagger.

Put a 16/78 on and come on down!

Are you going to race with us? It would be great to have you!!

FAST , FUN! Shaffer Speedway!!

A few things: 1). There is no electric at the track. If you have a genarator bring it. 2).There is no camping at the track. No over night stay @ Shaffer Speedway, Everyone must leave the property at days end. 3). You MUST be a current QSAC Member to race.

So, for all you campers / RV's the good thing is there is a really nice camp ground / state park about 8 to 10 miles away:
http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/StateParks/parks/raccooncreek.aspx

Plz check with the park EARLY to make sure they can accommodate your needs.

This race is starting to get BIG!!

[IN2RACIN]

So, who's got their Sprints ready for this event? I've seen some nice sprints already this year!

 

[IN2RACIN]

Jay - Are u bringing that new guy with you?

 

[IN2RACIN]

I have that DVD too (It wouldn't play in my vcr either. I watched it on my lap top.) Bob sent me a copy in 2004, that DVD played a major roll in getting us going on DIRT!!

SG

 

[IN2RACIN]

big maestro - That dvd is about 2 hours long! Couldn't put that on the computer.

There are some short clips here from "down under" http://luddenhamquarterscalespeedway.com/video.html

They race on different surface from us (Shaffer Speedway) , they use pin spiked tires, b/c their dirt is much loser. Ours is more of a hard clay, smooth.

If I can find my copy I'll send it to you to watch.

 

[IN2RACIN]

We ran our GN cars on (testing) dirt in 04. The cars worked well, but the body worked like a trap, it held in all the dirt / dust. Not good.

Open wheel Sprint / Mod. type cars stay much cleaner........such as carb. airfilter, anything that moves.
