Hi Mike,

First off, thanks for breakfast at the Freeze. That shows true class to buy for everyone at the table regardless of chassis affiliation.

You have any pictures or details of the new sprinter yet?

Take care,
Mark

[cnyrcer]

swwweeeeet Mike!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ...

[signman501]

Are you going to have one of your cars at the race for viewing. I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it to many of the WDRA races this year but I'll do my best.

[Mike Jeffery]

I will have pictures on here next week. So stay tuned in.

[Mike Jeffery]

I've decided to sweeten the JRC Sprint Car Series a little more, anyone that wins an A-main on this WDRA Tour w/ a JRC Lightning sprint car will receive $25.00 cash or $40.00 in JRC products to be given out that same day. Good Luck to all competitors.

[sunfish112]

Cool, Lipos will be allowed, Just when I was getting my car set up to work with the extra weight of 6 cells,

[wait a minute]

what is this car like? is it simular to the hyperdrive car?

[wait a minute]

what does it cost to run this series?

[cnyrcer]

thats because i gave up dirt for a while and have been running road course and 10th carpet oval. besides why would i want to goto series that doenst suport sprint cars and or trucks til now. well sprint cars that is.

[Bulldog_Wally14]

FYI...A truck class was offered at Radio Hill, and guess how many showed up. Thats right, TWO. How can I justify carrying a class that no one shows up for? Its been like that for years. Even when Rupert had the series, I don't think that there was ever a time when more than 5 showed up, and that was for only a fraction of the races.

Mike, you're a better driver than having to cherry pick the truck class anyway. I could win a 100 truck races, and it wouldn't mean as much to me as finishing second in the C Main last week against some of the best drivers in the NE.

So if you could guarantee 10 trucks at 80% of the races, I'll gladly have a truck class. Until then, its not worth the effort....for a field of 2.

As for the sprint class, thats Mike's baby, but I'll help in any way I can if it means getting more folks out to race.

We had 9 sprints this past weekend at redneck. A couple of the guys usually race carpet with their sprints. But they tried the dirt and ordered two new CW-sprints just for dirt. So the class is growing. The only problem we had was Dylan stunk the show up. Bounty on Dylan?? :skull: HHHMMM

Dylan told me he wasnt going to race the sprint....that cherry pickin NGB

[10 pins racing]

that hyperdrive havoc sprint car was awsome it looked so easy to drive even I could win with it except I have to race with cronk:ha:

[dylan]

i didn't want to i was going to let you race it solly. but you didn't show up

[Bulldog_Wally14]

My personal opinion: Having "big block type" sponsored drivers dominate the sprint car class will kill it before it starts.

Dylan winning sprint car races in NY will sell about ZERO cars for his sponsor. Put a guy like Jan Poyneer in victory lane with a sprint car...now I'm impressed with your car! No offense to guys like Jan, but I'm sure he'd be the first to admit that he's not a "big block type" driver.

I resemble that remark but let me tell ya sonny back in the day I was something I now forget what it was but I must have been[before cronk]:ha: :checkeredflag:

[sunfish112]

Well as one of the "Rug Doctors" I am planning on joining into the series as much as I can. As for the "Big block" drivers. Bring 'em on. Joe an I will race anyone, just don't mad if we are having to much fun.

[sawoff]

like sunfish said we will be there so look out we can be good fun out there :ha:

[Mike Jeffery]

Looking forward to meeting all of the competitors, please don't hesitate to come over and introduce yourself, I'm a very approachable person. Thanks for the interest in the JRC Sprint Series, This should be a FUN series to run hand in hand with the WDRA Series.
Thanks,
Mike

[Fineousfingers]

Where can I see a pic of the car? I looked on teh website, but either I didn't click on the right spot or its not up yet...

Thanks

Jim

[BustedGFX]

Any schedule yet?

[Mike Jeffery]

I will be posting pictures of the JRC lightning Sprint in a couple of days, I just need to finish up a few things first.

There is no schedule that is set in stone yet, our first race is next weekend at Readneck R/C and the only other for sure race is the Summer Nationals @ Chico's. Other than that we are more than likely going to follow most of the WDRA events for the remainder of the year, we are to any suggestions that the fellow racers might have, you can either let me know or contact Paul Braueraka (Wally) w/ the WDRA.
Thanks,
Mike

[sunfish112]

Is the series following ALL the WDRA races or just the Putnam SDS races?? Also any results from Redneck. I know where I finished, or didn't finish, but I will be out there trying next time. Never thought to double check the pinion gear set screw it had been on there all day.

[RCRACR20]

I am waiting on Calvin to send me the results, from Sunday and from March 30th on. Once I receive them I will post them.

[sunfish112]
