I wonder how many he won wrenchin on Mr.Burch's car!, anyone know the answer to this one! Or how many Biggies Ralph has won period?

Flatous Tires

Maybe someone could talk Ralph into running one of Terry's RC500's. That would at least make it a close race. It's a shame such a great fuel driver was "lost" to electric

Ralph won two classes in '02. He won in '01, '99, '98, '96.

That is alot of history, wonder how many races have history, and prestige like the Biggie?

Off hand I can only think of 2 others: The McCoy Race which unfortunately is no more (R.I.P Dick & the race) and the Winternats which has been running for quite awhile but I don't know exactly how long.

T-BODZ Terry B.

Yo J-Man!

September! Should be a blast / interesting running
it Counter-Clockwise!

I'll be back from Chicago late Thursday or early Friday.
Never the less I'll get to run this weekend! Can't wait!

See ya!

One of the neat things about running the track backwards is the car exhaust faces the drivers stand when they are on the straight. The cars sound cool when they get on the pipe towards the end of the straight!!!

T-BODZ Terry B.

Are you sure it's backwards Steve and not Counter Clockwise
I did not know there was a Backwards & a Forward way to run a track
I just thought it was Clockwise and Counter-Clockwise!! Ha Ha!
I guess IRL & NASCAR Run Backwards at Texas Motor Speedway!
Just giving you a hard time Steve

See ya!

Well Ok Terry......if your going to get Asian on me.....lets call it "running the track in a unconventional direction."

you must be proper when talking about remote control automobile racing!

Most forms of oval racing are in a counter-clockwise rotation, and road racing is USUALLY clockwise.

Oh Sure ..... Steve & Mark! I see how it is now!
Strength in numbers ... Good Ole Boys Sticken together!
Go ahead, just pick on the Chunky Asian Kid!
