I thought you weren't going to be able to run this summer.... Good to see that you'll be out this Sunday!

Originally your right.. I wasn't.. But I changed sections at work, now I work 4-10 hr days..Monday-Thursday..
Well I followed Jarrods lead and spent the day working on my starter box and got it working. I fired up the nitro car and she idles like a dream. So I was also wondering if somone was able to pit a nitro car also, or if we have enough for two heats I will pit for you Jarrod and you can pit for me. I dont care what heat I am in, its the inaugural run for it unless someone else is available to help. My other question is does someone have some blue thunder 20% that I may purchase? I would like to try for a qualifier at least, then go for the main. I would only need like a pit bottles worth. I will get some on Monday if the shaver shop has some.
Thanks
Glenn

I have some 20% Blue Thunder I can share with you glen. No problem at all. If everyone shows up to run nitro that ran last week, plus you and Jarrod then we will defintely have 2 heats. Should have 10-12 cars. Could be an interesting main though.
Shawn
Sweet thanks Shawn. Ya if we have two heats could be easier for marshaling and pitting. Here is to hoping all cars are able to run all day. ;D
see you next weekend guys =(
Good day!
If there is 2 heats I will pit or marshal a 2nd car in a heat that Gerry is not in as long as I dont break on of my cars and need to fix it.
Neil.
I am also looking for a pit guy as I will also be running just nitro. I am willing to marshal extra.
i will have onions cooking for the burger and dogs tomorrow. :'( burn the eyes
Nitro seems to the popular class this year! Should have enough for 2 heats.... Lets just hope for the weather now.. Weatherchannel says 10%, envir canada, says scatters showers until mid-afternoon....
Shawn
maybe we should do a group order on shumacher rain tires. that would be so much fun.. my first day out with nitro it rained.. was interesting.
It's been awhile for me.. What time does setup and racing start these days,?

Track setup will begin at 9AM sharp, and all racers in attendance at 9AM will receive a pink raffle ticket. If you are late, you will not get a ticket. Then, at the end of the day, after the last hose is loaded, Craig will draw the winning ticket behind the truck. You must be standing there, at the back of the truck, to be eligible to win. The winner will receive a free raceday the following Sunday.
The first qualifier will start at 10:30AM and we will reduce to two qualifiers when turnouts are high. We will set a cutoff time (1PM), and if we have not finished the 2nd round of qualifying by this time, we will skip the 3rd round and go directly into the Mains.
Thanks to Daryl for pittin my car.. Good to be back.. One of the best nitro days I've had..
No problem J-Rod, but I won't be there again till Speed Weekend, so you have to get somebody else in the meantime.
You take the win J-Rod?!
Blake
No 2nd, but close.. Ran a 2 stop strategy.. Was goin to hit the pits next time by and ran out at the first corner, then pitted at 13:40 and ran to the end.. If i didn't try for that extra lap I probably woulda had it..so I went a couple laps down.. I could and was gaining time on Gerry, Tom and Craig On that first stint.. And at the end could hang right on gerrys bumper..
I was able to stretch a tank to 6:30-6:45..The nt1 was baaad fast..
Wish I could have been there, sounded like an entertaining race. Thomas gave me a run-down too. Too bad he flamed out after Pit #3.
I should be in the mix this Sunday finally. Here's hoping for dry weather....
