How do you regester for the URL and what will the entry fee be? or do you just show up?

[hljudd]

How do you regester for the URL and what will the entry fee be? or do you just show up?

You don't have to register, just show up. The entry fees are usually $20 with $15 going to the track operator and the other $5 going to the URL points fund.

[JGray]

Howard,
Good to see that you got your own thread. Sign me up for Late Model and Nitro EDM. Going to be fun.

[Rockstar2010]

I hope Adams Creek has the track finished by then. If the building codes are anything like where I live they will be required to install a sprinkler system if it is enlosed.

[Landers52x]

Thats it.

[Doug Gaut]

Sorry I cant make it, I will be at Joplin's Frostbuster race that weekend.

[04Xterra]

Sorry I cant make it, I will be at Joplin's Frostbuster race that weekend.

Wait...what? I may have to rethink where I will be.

[hljudd]

The opening round of the 2010 season is being moved up one week to March 20. I goofed up and didn't realize I had scheduled a race the same week as the Frostbuster at Joplin RC Speedway on the 27th.

[JGray]

Thanks Howard. :thumbsup:

[Hconcepts]

Well that stinks!!! Now i have to choose either Joplin or ACR !!! :thumbsdown:

[hljudd]

Look at the posts Hicks, I changed the date to March 20th.

[Hconcepts]

i see that Howard. But can't do both tho.. Us POOR boys have to choose..

[hljudd]

I misunderstood what you meant. Don't forget about the Electric Harper Sprint Car give away for perfect attendance at the URL events.

[hljudd]

i see that Howard. But can't do both tho.. Us POOR boys have to choose..


You think you're poor. I haven't worked in a year. That reminds me, I need to get off my arse and find a job!

[gr8pumpkin]

Hicks don't be a vag! If I can make it to both so can you. I'm happy now I can make both. Hopefully.

[plipitkc]

What about those of us poor boys who's wives are the car owners but the good thing is I will be at one of them.

Phil

[Hconcepts]

Hicks don't be a vag! If I can make it to both so can you. I'm happy now I can make both. Hopefully.

[racefan11a]

Im in for
NITRO EDM
1/8 LM

[macdaddy]

Found out today the indoor oval will be a tri oval with an off road track at Adams Creek. I bet the 1/8 latemodel guys will have fun on a smaller tri-oval.

[Hconcepts]

Any body have pictures?? if not.. I'll be up there Feb 13 to run at The Barn Speedway, And i'll stop and take some pictures!!!!! :thumbsup:

[JGray]

Found out today the indoor oval will be a tri oval with an off road track at Adams Creek. I bet the 1/8 latemodel guys will have fun on a smaller tri-oval.

Why a Tri-Oval??? The track size and shape were just fine the way they were.

[JW8]

Darn off road guys start to weasel their way into a track and the ovals start to shrink.... Hard to picture what that track will look like now.

Will they be running offroad and oval on the same nights/times? Seen that tried here in Hutch and did not work out to well. The two groups usually have different ideas on what track conditions should be like.

[plipitkc]

Off road and oval never did mix well. How wide are the lanes? The old oval was almost too narrow for the L8M.

May be time to BAJA... Werner, You want a Latemodel?

Phil

[macdaddy]

I agree I liked the track the way it was also. Yes, I am sure they will run off road the same night. I am also wondering what it will look like, shoot I may just run at the barn and Muskogee.

[dozer9]

Well I do know that from day one since The Barn track was built, it was known that when Adams Creek started that the The Barn would shut down for the summer. Original intentions were to be a place to race during the winter for those that didnt like running carpet. However, with everything goin on at Adams Creek I dont know what will happen this year. I for one am not very happy about the building being put over ACR. I liked the fact that we could be outside racing. Being outside in the sun was all part of it. I am not really sure why the building is being put over the track. If it was for the weather, the track drained really well and rarely had any rainouts. If it was to bring back the racers that left to race The Barn, not so sure that will happen as The Barn has a fun laid back kind of attitude with no screaming and yelling at each other. Now ACR is going to have an offroad track integrated with the oval. NO THANKS they tried that before the current oval was built and there was always disagreements. Oh and now to mention the word on the street is the track will be a trioval. Again NO THANKS. I am not running nacar style cars. I run SPRINT CARS. I want the oval to be oval. I always like ACR the way it was. You know what they say "if it aint broke, dont fix it" I guess we will just have to wait and see how things play out this season.

[gr8pumpkin]

Wow honestly a tri-oval? That is the worst thing i think i have ever heard of doing to a dirt oval. I under stand about maybe making it a "D" shape cuz ive ran those in real life and they aint to bad but to make it a true tri-oval? Come-on! :thumbsdown::blackflag::thumbsdown:

We need someone from adams creek to get on here and explain themselves about doing this before we go and throw the baby out with the bath water. I might be new but i aint no dummy. So im pretty sure some clarification is gonna be handed out real soon before another dirt track loses all its racers due to trying to be different. My .02 not like they matter but hey who knows.

[Hconcepts]

The off-road and oval isn't in the same spot is it?? last year the oval was by the hobby shop, off-road was across the road!! :confused:

[dozer9]

The off-road and oval isn't in the same spot is it?? last year the oval was by the hobby shop, off-road was across the road!! :confused:

there will be an offroad built in the with the oval so they have an indoor offroad as well. So there will be an indoor and outdoor offroad track

[JW8]

And they got rid of the big track that many thought was the best oval there. Sometimes change for change sake is not a good thing. Hope this works out for the racers in Tulsa. Would be nice to know before the URL event what track layout will be.

[Hconcepts]

I like to see 1/8 electric buggies jumping in the little spot.. they be jumping from one wall to the other wall...LOL..

[RichardsonRacng]

Surely this isn't true. It would make sense for them to have an offroad under the new building in the winter, but surely not during the summer with the nice big offroad they just rebuilt being there? Unless they are really trying to get away from their neighbors. Man, I have a sc10 waiting for the big offroad and an electric sprint i built to run the old oval. It will suck if neither is possible! But one other thing I've learned is don't knock the ones with the major investment in this deal. In the end they have to do what's best for them and their future. Even if it sometimes doesn't make sense to us racers. And I understand we have vested interest as well, but it's not the same. If it was easy, enexpensive, and non political to own and operate a Rc track, we would all have one!!! Let's be patient and see what happens. Something will work out, it always does.

[macdaddy]

Went by yesterday. There is still a lot of work to be done. Brian did not know of the date change and still thinks it is on the 27th of March. John had three or four regular lights in, but was pretty dark. From what Brian told me, John is now doing all the work himself. I REALLY HOPE it is ready for the URL Race on the 20th. I also took it the the off-road will be layed out year round in case of rain outs for the outdoor track.

[Joey Hornick]

I also stopped by there yesterday with Patrick Holt, and he might more info since he stayed longer talking with John. The building does look rather large compared to how big the track used to be. The overall facility looks nice, however I didn't think to ask him about an offroad track. I believe he said the dimensions were 96'x54' for a track.

[Beighle4]

I hope Adams Creek has the track finished by then. If the building codes are anything like where I live they will be required to install a sprinkler system if it is enlosed.
Hey, just let you know. Track will be race ready!:thumbsup: And to answer some of the other questions. The summer racing program will hace a OVAL track-NO inside off-rd. The tri-oval and inside off-rd is for winter racing. The carpet track will remain the same. In the past, we had a ti-oval and the racers enjoyed it. We have always tried to give racers a variety of tracks. Racer response always determines what kind of tracks we race. When we took the track back from Brian our numbers for winter racing were down. Our main goal is to keep racers summer and winter. We realize we can not please everyone but we have always tried to have a race facility that people enjoyed coming to. We are sorry if there has been any misunderstanding. The agreement between the Barn and ACR was when Brain Rainbolt was still operating the track. For info. johnbeighle@windstream.net. 918-688 4740

[macdaddy]

Thanks, for clearing everything up.

[gr8pumpkin]

That's awesome to hear. Why not make it a big wide fat "D" shape. Them tracks are fast and fun to race on.

[txrusty]

most likely iam going to be in the late mod class. Looking for a good deal on a nother L8late mod.I could maybe buy 3 of them

[Hconcepts]

I seen this thing Saturday, but no pictures!! Sorry. It's in the very rough and dont know about the March date.....

[macdaddy]

That is still what I am thinking. March? Howard, where will the race be if no track the 20th?

[hljudd]

Everyone saw John's post. He said the track will be ready. If he's able to see that it's not going to be ready in time, we'll figure something out. We may have to have 2 April races?

[racerjmh]

i vote for the winter race place as a backup. I'm sure toby would do it if asked at least a week in advance. it was an awesome track and its indoors so no rainout. it's just east of joplin in Diamond, MO. he was wanting to host one more big oval race anyway. Just a suggestion.

Jim Harden

[hljudd]

Dang guys, give them a chance at Adams Creek before you write them off. The man said he would have the track ready.

[Hconcepts]

Dang Jim!!!!! you just want it closer too you!! :thumbsdown: :p

[Hconcepts]

Well I'm OUT for this race!!!! Now someone else can win!! :thumbsup: :trophy:

[hljudd]

Why are you out?

[Hconcepts]

My little girl B-day is 21st and we having party on 20th so everyone can make it... :thumbsup:

[Beighle4]

Just a update on ACR, the track will be ready to race March 20th. We will be having a play day 2 weeks from this sat. After that we will make any adjustments needed on the track. We will try to post some pic later.

[macdaddy]

Great!!!!! I am ready for the URL Race.

[04Xterra]

I may make this race! It all depends on my wife's work schedule. I can't wait to race again!!

[racerjmh]

Good news John. Can hardely wait for my first run at Adam's Creek.

[Hconcepts]

No racing for me at ACR.

[plipitkc]

What... No chrome dome at the races.....dang ;)

Phil

[Hconcepts]

No more Chrome Dome all together.. got my new lid in Reader's Rides

[04Xterra]

As of right now I plan on attending with my L8te and possibly my elec. sprint!!!!! Let's see some pics of the new track layout as soon as possible please!!:thumbsup:

[macdaddy]

They were just doing the electrical wiring this week-end. The track is just piles of very wet dirt right now. The building wasn't finished when we got all the snow in Jan. so the dirt is very wet.

[JGray]

I stopped by on Friday to check out the progress and speak with John. Barring any unforseen circumstances the track should be ready in time. John was getting ready to start putting the timing loop down and begin spreading the dirt out. John told me that he plans to have it ready to get some laps put on it with in the next week or so.

[txrusty]

hay guys just wonted to post up needing some leights not some bug made in to one ,Having a hard time finding used one on the adds. Everyone prices are so high that I would be better off buying new ones. Sooo if you guys have used one you are wonting to part with e.mail me @ rust.lay@sbcglobal.net

[04Xterra]

I am so ready to race!!!!!:thumbsup:
Less than a month away!

[hljudd]

I do have 4 gallons of Blue Thunder Race Blend 20% nitro I can deliver to the Tulsa area if anyone is interested. And yes I know this is the wrong place to post but I am targotting a specific location and group of racers that live or will be in that area in a short while.

[Steve eaves]

Judd is there a electric edm class?i wil run that if there is,track progress looks real good,will definetly be the best oval in the area:thumbsup:

[racefan11a]

I VISITED THE TRACK TODAY AND IT LOOKS AWESOME. We stopped by on our way home and spoke with John and he gave us a tour. this is going to be a great facility to race at, track was looking great even though he was not finished putting all the dirt in yet. I can't remember the number of lights he said were in there but it will be bright inside that is for sure. One thing i can say is that he has put a lot of money in to this and it really shows, can't wait to get on it and race. For those that live up there he said they were going to race this weekend to raise more money for Marion Jackson's family.

[TomC]

I believe he said no electric edm.

[hljudd]

Judd is there a electric edm class?i wil run that if there is,track progress looks real good,will definetly be the best oval in the area:thumbsup:


Sorry Steve, there is no elec. edm for the series this year. You'll need to talk to John about what classes he's going to run on the day our series shows up there.

[Steve eaves]

[plipitkc]

Hey Chrome Dome. How's things hangin' A neat looking body still doesn't mean you can drive....LMAO and Had a great time with my Baja and No I'm not a trader either.

Adam, you better give that kid a hug before you think about racin'

Doc is back and talkin' smack. URL Latemodel racin' yeah right. The Coyote will come down from the north with his super powered LOSI Leight with one bad AZZ Monkey driven power plant and wup all you little boyz before you can even realize what happened. Get my drift...

No Doc ain't fell off his rocker nor has he been drinkin' that nitro he has for sale either.

Phil

[Hconcepts]

You got me there Alex!! :thumbsup: Be kool if ya'll Texas guys could go to the Joplin race March 27th!! Should be Alot of Fast 1/8 LM's,

Sorry Phil, going to try not to run the Chrome Dome much this year!! But you never know, I might break it out!!! :thumbsup: :D

[hljudd]

We don't run a nitro truck class. We run a trucked based EDM class and you must have a EDM body.

[hljudd]

What time will the track be open on the 20th? I need to start planning my day!!


They usually open around 8:00 on race day. I need to talk to John and see what time he wants to get started. I'm thinking he's going to run a full race program, not just URL classes, so we'll need to get started probably around 1:00 in order to be done by midnight. I'll talk to John and I'll get the race day info posted here pretty quick.

[hljudd]

Will there be a club race or practice on Friday?

Thanks

Ryan


I'll talk to John about that when I call to set up the race day schedule.

[Steve eaves]

There will be a race on friday,talked to him last night.

[gr8pumpkin]

So does the track supply the transponders for the race or do you have to supply your own?

[sprintcarcrazy]

We will be traveling to the race from southern Indiana, about 11 or 12 hours, have some questions about the track that would be helpful to have answered before we make the trip. We have tried calling but can't catch anyone. If someone familiar with the facilty would be willing to try and answer our questions we would really appreciate it.
Thank you for any help,
Steve & Tonya Davis

sandt20@aol.com
812-849-5399
or will check back here for an offer of help from someone that knows the facility.

[Jeff Harper]

The track has house transponders (might be a buck or two additional charge on entry if using house transponders) and the system will also work with personal transponders.

[sprintcarcrazy]

Thank you Brian for calling and answering all our questions.

[RichardsonRacng]

Anyone going to prw-race the new track tomorrow?
I may go tomorrow, last Saturday I'll have off due to new work schedule. No racing for me this summer... :(

[Steve eaves]

i will be there,butts,eby,moore,i think medlin,should be a couple of heats of electric sprint

[04Xterra]

Is it too soon to have the truck all pack up for the 20th? One more week!!!

[tp75]

at track today hope you guys like flat and dry and trutles in corners

[Jeff Harper]

Guys, I took a few pics of the track today....check em out.

Man there is a ton of work that has gone into this place for sure! No longer will rain be an issue here...racing rain or shine...also no more miserable dry sunbaked dust bowl through the summer months. Thats what this building is all about. there are giant removable panels on both sides of the building so when the weather is nice, they will come out for an "open" feeling even though its covered. I think John has done a great job at trying to create the best of both worlds....all the benifits of an indoor track with a little bit of outdoor feeling. Its still a work in progress but I know it will only get better in the weeks to come.

The track is quite a bit different than what it used to be and it will take some getting used to but everyone will be racing on the same track. There is no "home track" advantage this year :thumbsup:

Yes its pretty flat...may take a different setup.....the corners are more sweeping...may take a different setup......there are turtles on the bottom.....bottom feed at your own risk:D

The new track is a challenge but thats what racing is all about right?

Should be anybodys game next weekend! Whoever can adapt to a completely new track the fastest wins:checkeredflag:

[sprintcarcrazy]

Thanks for all your help Jeff. I really appreciate it.
Can't wait to come play on the new track there And meet some new oval racers.
counting the hours till we leave.

[04Xterra]

at track today hope you guys like flat and dry and trutles in corners

I would take a trutle in the corner any day over a wlal. ;)

I am super excited to get on down there next Saturday!!

Great pics, Jeff! Will definitely be making the trek up there this summer (or even winter) for some 1/8 LM (I hope that class is still going! :confused::confused:)

[RamRacing]

FYI for those that are planning on traveling in a day early. ACR will be having a club race Friday evening before the URL race on Sat. I dont remember all of the details. But I do know that the cost will be 10.00 for 2 heats and a Main. Guessing that it should start about 6 of 7 that night.

[Beighle4]

ACR will have a friday night race. Will start at 7:00 and will run 2 heats and A main. Cost $10. Sat. track will be ready for pratice at 9:00, will race at 1:00. Cost $15 + URL entry. We have worked hard to get building and track ready for this race. We would like to thank all the people that has helped:):thumbsup: God Bless. Jeff Harper, good pics-Jeff is right, track is flat (3 degree bank) running lane 10ft. longer than last yr. Will be adding more dirt next week. If we have rain come on and race, we can pit 100+ racers inside both buildings
Howard we will be using new computer want to know if you have list of racers that will be racing this weekend. So we can enter in computer early?

[Hconcepts]

John you have done a GREAT JOB!!! Place looks Awesome!!!!!!! Can't wait to run up there this year.. Maybe someone will have some video's next weekend!!! so we can see what's the best lane :p... See ya'll soon!!! :thumbsup:

[04Xterra]

Thank you for the info!!!!! Now I can get my plans finalized!! Soon, soon!!!:greenflag:

It's gonna be a looooooong day. I can't freakin wait!!

[DSR90]

Howard I wish the races where closer but we hope to see ya in joplin, Gonna be a great series for you guys.:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::be er::beer::beer::beer::beer:

[hljudd]

I don't have a list, but I will be available to help get all the names entered in the computer.

We'll need to open the sign ups as early as possible and close them around 11:00 or 11:30 so we'll have plenty of time to get them all in the computer and set up.

Another thing that will help is if you get everyone that shows up for the club race on Friday to go ahead and pre-register. That will get most of your locals and a few of your out of town guests.

[04Xterra]

Dear Saturday,

Hurry up already!!!

Sincerely,
Adam Sippel

[Dlan44]

Does anyone know the approximate width of the lanes and length of the driveline and straits?

[Jeff Harper]

I would guess about 180' drive line....approx 12' lanes and as you can see in the pics, the track has a pretty wide infield which makes the corners a little more sweeping.

You coming Dell?

Change of plans, won't make this race. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::thumbsdown::redflag :

[Dlan44]

Jeff I would like to. Waiting to see what my project is going to do. I am riding overhead dollars right now but they hit me up about a possible emergency trip.

If I don't make this one.........maybe next time.

[gr8pumpkin]

So how all is going to this race in the 1/8th scale hot rods. ill start by saying me!

[racerjmh]

So is there a plan or time or place to call if mother nature makes travelling too bad to make this race? Jeff's sprinters are nice but not worth endangering my kiddo and me to win one. I mean I am leaving at 5am sat to be there by 9am to set up. If the weather sux I may not make it til starting time.

They are forecasting 5-8 inches of snow along the turnpike (I-35) all the way from Kansas to OKC. :eek:

[Hconcepts]

Good thing it's indoors now!! ;) Too bad the roads to get there isn't.. :(

[txrusty]

Packing up and ready to come have some fun.................Coming down Friday to race track,and try to find a heater .TEXAS dont have heaters this time of year...LOL

[Beighle4]

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Just a report to let everbody know--The racetrack is ready for racing and we have added more inside pit area, everybody will be able to pit inside. So if the URL race is on (COME ON AND HAVE SOME FUN).

[plipitkc]

Just remember snow only lasts a short time this time of year and sunday is supposed to be 48 in KC.;)

[hljudd]

In light of the recent change in the weather forecast, we're going to postpone the Adams Creek race.

The makeup date will be April 10th. Sorry that we're having to do this, but I'd rather be safe than sorry if someone were to get in an accident should the travel conditions get really bad.

[RamRacing]

Was asked by ACR to post this
Even though the url has cancelled we will be racing at 1:00 p.m. Practice starts at 9:00 a.m.come and see the new indoor track.plenty of warm pit areas.hope to see you here.
Thanks acr

[hljudd]

My phone has been ringing off the the wall. To clear something up, it's not the forecast for the Tulsa/Broken Arrow area that concerns me, it's the forecast for further north. From OKC up to Wichita they are saying 5 to 8 inches of snow and with the projected high in that area of only 32 degrees if it does anything at all it will freeze and make for dangerous driving conditions. The Joplin area forecast says 90% chance of snow with significant accumulations expected.

I'm sorry that the decision to postpone had to be made, but I feel it's the better thing to do with a lot of our racers having to travel through these areas on their way home from the races.

[racerjmh]

I appreciate that Howard. Besides , now everyone can give me some belated birthday presents at the race on the 10th since my bd is the 6th. L8m, engines(1/10th or 1/8th or electric motor system), anything dirt oval I don't already have will be fine. cash works , too- ROFLMAO!!!!!

[racefan11a]

My only question i show much of an effect you might have put on the Texas race by rescheduling it so close to our race, and you might have thought about canceling it earlier in the week, I know of some Texas racer that are already there and that forecast has been up since early this week. That's a pretty big loss for those guys. Well I hope this doesn't turn into a bad choice.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[gr8pumpkin]

well if they are alreay there they can still race the race. im still showing up so everybody else can still come out and race. just cuz a few guys arent showing up dont mean that the race should be canceled. I completely understand it being a safety issue for some drivers and these are still just toy cars. Hell in nhra i couldnt make it to some races cuz the weather was bad where i was coming from but they didnt cancel it. the point im making is that just cuz a few people cant make it dont mean it should be canceled is all, especially the day before when the same forecast has been up all week. its ones choice whether they want to show up and chance it or not. If they dont..... sweet i got a better chance to win, if they do show up..... sweet some kick ass compititon to race against but they show must go on. My .02 but what do i know i can barely find my way around the track. see everyone tonight and tomorrow.

[tp75]

i think that was a dumb move

[gr8pumpkin]

I mean I can see if it was an outdoor track yes but he worked his tail off to make it indoors. Ya live and learn. I'm still gonna come flat track it tomorrow

[JW8]

Weather is a frustrating thing this time of the year. I know there a couple from Kansas planning on making the event. It is not a good thing for any of us racers to not get to race. We are all disappointed.

Racefan: I would not worry to much about the event being close to the Texas event....atleast your state has an event....;)

April 10th - Thats the World Of Outlaws sprint car race at Tri-state Speedway!! and The First points race of the Arkansas southern series!!!

Oh well, can't win them all!! Who's idea was it to move this race up from it 1st set date?? :ha: :ha:

[Doug Gaut]

Go ahead and run the event. If guys can make it then thats great, if they cant then so sorry so sad. Dont hold the show up for the minority.

[racerjmh]

I will abide by whatever decisions get made. Was getting ready to leave KC firday to beat the weather and got a call saying it was postponed. Goal is to make em all, hell or high water! See ya'll in April.

My little girl is loving it!! It's her birthday and it's snowing!!! :thumbsup:

[Beighle4]

Howard just wanted to say, I thank you made the right decision (cancellation of the URL race) at ACR. The weather was cold and wet, but we still had 123 entrys both nights. Enough to show us where to improve on track conditions. We also found problems in building conditions. (All will be ready in 2 wks.) We Pray that the Texas and Ark. drivers make a safe trip back home. Howard the 19 years that I have ACR I have never made a track related decision, that I had 100% of the racers support. You will make the choices that you think is best for the majority, and the majority will understand. Just remember a HOT seat in (COLD) weather is alot better than a (HOT) seat in (HOT) weather, you sweat alot less. SEE YOU IN 3 wks.

[hljudd]

It was a hard choice to make and I was thinking of everyone's safety. The weather forecast said that a large Canadian storm would move thru the area and when I looked at the weather radar yesterday, I could see that the storm went from the Kansas state line all the way down to Hillsboro, TX. All the way from Wichita over past Joplin and it looked like the entire area was getting lots of snow and ice. We got right at 8 inches of snow here in the north TX area and it covered the roads. I haven't talked to anyone from up north today or heard what the conditions were up there last night, but I know I wouldn't have wanted to have to drive 220 miles in it at midnight.

I'm glad ACR still had a big turn out, despite the weather, and I hope everyone got home safe.

[Steve eaves]

It was'nt bad the roads were mainly just wet,not snow packed see you in a couple of weeks.
