Race Day Saturday January 16th charge your batteries and come to T & T Speedway !

[mudbugfan3]

Well Sat. was a pretty good turnout, Tom and I would like to thank you for coming out. I had a good time and I hope you all did as well. We had 15 racers and a total of 43 cars for the heats. There was some pretty good battles during the day with everybody getting the racing fever and some good competition in the mix. I can tell some of you guys have been putting in the time and the laps on the track it really shows the lap count is up from the toy race. Several of you guys bumped up in the heats to fill in some class's I appreciate it. As we get going we will find the class's everyone wants to run and we will make some adjustments as we go. If you have suggestions let me know. Thanks everyone who jumped in to help through out the day from sweeping and mopping to track and marshaling it is very much appreciated.

THE LAPS
Stock Mini L/M : Saw Trey lay down laps with 35 in his 1st heat to Kevin 34, Mark 28, Phillip and Tim just back but in the mix no less. The main came down to the last lap with Trey taking the win with 33 and Kevin only inches back, It was a good race.

Modified Mini LM: Saw Kevin TQ with 33.1 laps in both heats with Karan and Eric and David in heat 1 and Tim, Phillip and Mark bumping up totry and match Kevin in heat 2. With Kevin taking the win in the main with 30.3 laps.

Modified Sprint 1/10: Eric loves to run the wheelie monster and several jumped in to give him run. If any one had any questions about the traction on this surface all you have to do is watch Eric pull the front wheels off the ground at a pull of the trigger to answer any questions. And laid down a blistering 37 laps in the 2nd heat. John John edged him out in the main with 34 laps to Eric's 33 but it was a fast paced battle all the way.

Unlimited Late Model (B44 & XXX4) John laid down a fast pace 35 and 32 laps and like always I was getting lapped, And Eric broke so John and I when at it in the main with John taking the win with 35 to my 34.

!/8 E- Late Model: (AKA BIG DOGS) Wow what a blast John and Eric battled through the 1st heat taking it with 31 laps to Eric's 30 with wade and myself in the back. The main was a close battle all the way with all three of us with 32 laps but Eric pulled off the win by about 50 feet. This class is well worth the effort to make the conversion.

Stock Sedan With the 6 car field we saw some good action and looking at the lap sheet it was some real close racing. David TQ with 13.10 and Denver and Eric just back with 12.2 and the other's not far behind. The main saw Wade pull of the win with Eric and David 2nd and 3rd. The real one to watch is Denver he drives a real smooth line and not rattled by much, And the next thing you guys will see is his taillights.

Super Stock Sedan: John TQ with 2 -13+ lap runs and Eric and Wade swapped 2nd & 3 in the heats. With John winning the main with another 13+ laps and Eric just back a little bit and Wade broke.

Stock Slash: The Slash always amazes me it is the best thing to happen in electric RC racing without a doubt Good Cheap Fun! and some close racing. With 7 in the 1st heat and on only 1 DNF everyone else within a lap of each other David TQ and Denver and Trey swapping 2 &3 in the heats. David took the win but saw Denver hot on his trail and if not for some lap traffic it might have been even closer, Trey in 3rd with Heath in 4th over Eric by just a few feet it was some good racing.

CORR Truck. (aka mod slash sc10 etc.) The heats where pretty rough on the CORR class with Heath TQ. The mains where much better. battling for the win, David came out on top with a 13.2 and Heath in 2nd with 12.11 and Eric 12.3 in all some good laps.

GOOD FUN GREAT RACING THANKS FOR COMING SEE YOU AT THE TRACK. Keith/ rcbum

Hey cool I'll try to get a group from the Tyler area to come run soon.

[steve crane]

I bet you could get a large group form Wild Bills to come run.
They have large turnout of Sprint, EDM and Slash for their dirt oval.

What kind of surface is this?

[wcalaker]

It appears to be an ice rink...im assuming smooth concrete painted over ?

[ultrahot]

Its black painted skating rink. Foams are useless! because its really slick but fun because the big HP motors dont tend to do well.

It is a painted hardwood surface that any tire works on even foams if you can drive. The traction is unreal and bring all the motor you got. We run 1/18 1/10 and 1/8 oval is 266' CL plus onroad with a 459 CL come ck it out.

[ultrahot]

Well on of us is full of sh*t as a Christmas turkey....... and I'll leave it at that rcbum

Not sure how far you live from the track ultrahot BUT If you make the trip and dont agree. I'll buy your gas home. Our next race day will be Feb 20.
I hope you can join us.

[RCBUM]

We will not be running on Feb 6 as planed but will resume our schedule on Feb 20 I hope to see some new people out at the track to ck out the new layout and try our fast surface. We would like some of you guys with oval experience to come run some laps. The oval is 266' cl and the on road 459' cl. So load up the gear and come join us for an afternoon of racing fun.

Ive done been there and did that. I completely enjoyed the track and the participants. But to tell out of towners its hooked up fast is a LIE and I wouldnt appreciate being told that and show up to spin out on foams. Your doing a great job promoting but dont follow up and disagree with every word I posted for a "out of towner" when you know its far from the truth. I agree I'm not the best driver out there but to say foams work great if you can drive pissed me off. Be a man now and leave foams on your pieces of crap all year since you can drive so well with them. I want to see this!

p.s. I have found that the RTR tires work best so far for anyone that wants the truth. But what do I know, I cant drive.
