I have a proposition.

For several months now we have been trying to get the scoring system properly set up. There does not seem to be enough time on race night to do this. I propose that in lieu of a race this week, we take the time to take care of this. We need to name the heats and classes correctly. The results are very confusing, to say the least. There is no real distinction between stock, modified or 1/18th scale as far as the print out is concerned. I would also like to measure the length of the run line of the track and enter it into the computer so we can get real MPH numbers. What do y'all think? Please chime in.

Also, this will give us an opportunity to bench race with our friend, Tommy Lane one more time. Of course, the track could still be open for practice.

Works for me. Anything that will make the night run smoother is worth the investment in time. As it is, we need to tune the show to the time allowed. The way turn out is increasing, if we run 2 rounds of stock heats plus 1 each for mods, F-1's and the 1/18ths then add in 6 mains that accounts for nearly 90 minutes of our 2 hour show for actual racing. Not taking into consideration the time needed between races, or the proverbial "oops, my antenna just broke" "my batteries aren't ready yet" etc,etc. We need to do whatever it takes to get the show done. Jim and Vicky provide for us a terrific venue at no charge. The least we can do in return is to get them out of the store on time.

Not a bad idea. However, you've got a lot of people coming to race that will probably be a little upset if they don't get the opportunity this week. More than likely, not everyone has access or checks the forums. Doing it tomorrow is kind of a last minute thing. Why don't we race as planned tomorrow and discuss organizing next week. Or, some of us could maybe put aside some time on a Saturday or another day of choice. With as great as our turnout has been, I hate to see anything slow things down.

You have a good point.

Hello guys, this is Josh Dayvault BTW.


As far as deciding on DIRECT heats/mains with CERTAIN times, that sounds great. I heard tlaks of splitting the days we actually race up, in order to compensate for the increasing bunches that are starting to come out and race. As far as improvements. This is my $.02.


1. Certain starting time. You're not there and on the board, sorry. All races must have a certain deadline to enter. Lately it seems like we get started when everyone shows up, not by time. Just my opinion. I haven't been watching the clock either, but it seems we don't get done racing until way after 9, when Jim closes at 7.

2. Definite times, I don't believe we need to change the times for every race? I mean...is that necessary? Meaning, when I say this, that we shortened the times in between races last Thursday, in order to compensate for the added cars and the added races. With a certain starting time we could eliminate this and start when we are susposed to. I mean it's a start.

3. I enjoy running my Scalpel (even though I'm still 1.8 seconds behind Todd!) every Thursday and I will be there every night as I request it off every week from work. This Thursday I'll bring some coupons for you guys for Sonic! lol


I've been meaning to do that. That's all my good points.


Oh and one more thing, in about another 2 weeks there will be one more modified mini.


p.s. can we run lexan in the modified class? lexan is now available for the mr-02. hurda ftw. -josh
