Agreed....I hate those rumble strips!

[jinglesinpa]

put in bigger rumble strips!!!!

[RacerX11]

put in bigger rumble strips!!!!

I would rather deal with an inside wall

[bruce33]

If you stay on the right side of the white line the rumble strips didnt affect you!!

[Dan D]

the racing was better with just the berms. the rumble strips suck!!!!!!

[Breckenridge]

If you stay on the right side of the white line the rumble strips didnt affect you!!

Sometimes you get pinched down there by a seemingly out of control car! When making a split second decision on whether to get clobbered or swerve left....sometimes you forget they are there.

well said :thumbsup:

[ksj44]

Not to metion cars would hit them and end up sideways in the groove :thumbsdown:

[spottednewt]

How about an inside pit/hole. This way if a car gets to close it would just fall off the track or you can send your fellow racer into the pit and get them out of the race and you wont have to deal with them side ways in the corners.

[screamingeagle]

are these the only two classes running on those nights?

[bumps and jumps rc]

yes - just those 2 :)

[mikeschellracing]

I would rather deal with an inside wall
one thing is for sure, if your upset with the rumble strips you would definatly be dealing with a inside wall!!

[Rob Cutman]

In my opinion the berm worked out much better than the wall or the rumble strips.

[BOOSIER RACING TIRES]

Berms SUCK, put the wall back up !!!!!!!!:D

[shmeedel]

Berms SUCK, put the wall back up !!!!!!!!:D

Second!!! BERMS SUCK!

I don't understand The Mill has an inside pipe like a wall, Staub's has a inside wall. I don't hear anyone campaigning to remove them. There is no penalty for cutting the corner short with a berm.

[shmeedel]

I stopped by last night and WOW the track looked great. Let just say reconfigured means reconfigured. I love the look of the new layout and let's just say the racing should be great.

[peanutsprint9]

I thought it was easier to see your car in the corners with the wall removed. The rumble strips did make things "interesting" to say the least. The dirt berm was the best in my opinion.

[bumps and jumps rc]

There are 2 problems with the berm
One is that it is difficult to make offroad layouts with a berm
Two is that over the course of the year we lost 1' of berm the entire way around.
You guys thought you were getting fast - but actually the track was getting smaller.
I have decided not to put in rumble strips
Instead we will have Breckenridge bumps! :D

I would expect that from a tire salesman! :D

Both good points. But I would assume the rumble strips made it even harder to do a off-road layout. I just remember in years past with the wall a lot of guys would end up broke before the races even started. Mark is right, There should be a penalty for cutting the corner but when you get stuck up against it, it penalizes the next few cars to come along as well. I would bet there were a whole lot less broken parts and chunked tires this winter than in years past. If you got up on the berm you would get loose or out of shape and usually have to lift to get things gathered back up but at least you didnt have to pay full price.

No criticism here these are just my thoughts. Chris does a great job and I have a great time there everytime I go. I will look forward to racing at Bumps even if theres barbed wire around the inside as long as the cookies are hot!!!

[signman501]

Cookies!!:D:D

[RacerX11]

Cookies!!:D:D

Big batch of them please!!!:thumbsup:

[shmeedel]

Look how quick this got off topic.... It only took cookies.

Wheather it's berms, bumps, walls or barbed wire (that would be fun) Bumps is still a great place to race. You will never please everyone. Bring out the balloons!

I don't mind if you use berms or walls as long as they get rid of the rumble strips. I'm gonna try to make the Wed LM races if I can get out of the shop early.

who cares about off road, need more track maintenance then. did you ever think that the 1' lost was due to dragging not just racing? i didnt see people cutting corners, i seen them ramping them.

[dazzo]

I used the same set of golds from Nov. till the tour race. Raced at one out door track so far this year had one bad chunked tire and one cracked rim. I think Chris's set up is best for keeping us racing and not totally killing the wallet.

[bumps and jumps rc]

I care about offroad - it is a vital part of the business - it takes both to make the business solvent.
The berm did shrink in size from dragging the track - that would be considered track maintenance.
The only cutting occurring at bumps lately has been your mouth!

you care more about off road than oval and i am just voicing my opinion!!!!!!! which doesnt count anyhow and my mouth is not the only cutting at Bumps.....look with in!!!!

Hey if you're going to name something after me at least let me look at it first;)

I have always been a fan of walls. Racers respect the wall and drive a line that allows them to mess up a little and still not hit it. Racing at Staubs last year I remember very few issues with wrecks being caused by the wall. With berms and pipes, racers take more risks, thinking they can cut the corner and maybe just get messed up a little if they hit it. But all you have to do is watch a few races before you realize how many wrecks are caused by cars hitting the berm and getting out of shape. That being said, the berm at Bumps last season was for whatever reason the best I have raced on. It almost made me forget how much I like walls.
Bring on the barbed wire!

[WYD]

you care more about off road than oval and i am just voicing my opinion!!!!!!! which doesnt count anyhow and my mouth is not the only cutting at Bumps.....look with in!!!!Bottom line is since I work here and know what goes on is this.... Other than two big races offroad drew more people on a weekly basis. Race weekends where almost equal every Sat and Sun but offroad Tuesday practice does 30 to 35 a week while racing on Wed, plus practice on Thur and Fri. Offroad generates as much money in 2 days as oval does in 4 days.


This place won't generate enough business with just running oval or offroad. It takes both to the shop open.

I look at it like this. Everyone has money or think they know whats best so go out and get a loan, build a track and see what happens. I will bet any money most can't make 3 years!!!!

I now know why he takes the summer off!!!!!!!!!!!! If it where me I would close and then you can keep your thousands of dollars sitting at home collecting dust. IMO the **** he puts up with isn't worth the little bit of money he makes.

[RacerX11]

Chris,
The New Track configuration was a lot of fun to practice on. Defiantly puts more emphasis on the Driver to drive his car.:thumbsup:

[brockh]

people are in for a big surprise with the new track...

[mikeschellracing]

chris and the bumps crew do a great job. thanks for all your hard work, and giving us a great place to race. i truely beleive if the economy was better you would have had a much bigger weekly attendance. now that the outdoor season has started you can see weekly attendance is down there also. do whatever you need, to the track to make it good for the offroad guys also. i have never raced on a bad track at bumps and don't think i ever will.

thanks for all your hard work!!
mike schell

[kartracer2]

If I lived 3 hours closer I would race there weekly. It is by far the best facility I have been to.

[RacerX11]

Look how quick this got off topic.... It only took cookies.


Can't help it. I come to race, but I stay for the cookies.:D

[RacerX11]

people are in for a big surprise with the new track...

With that said, it would be a good idea to get down here to get some laps/races in before the first Points/Cash race of the 2010 Summer Sizzler presented by Bumps and Jumps.

[shmeedel]

Sneak Peek!

[signman501]

Looks good. Gives me lots of room to get outside of the fast guys.

[WYD]

New track work looked great last night. Never saw the infield look so flat before. Hours and Hours of work went into getting it to look so great. Once the Bobcat work was done then only hours of round and round to drag and get the track into shape.

I think everyone will like the new setup. I wish you spent that kind of time working on the offroad portion!!!!!!!!!!!!!:p:D

Can't wait to see everyone try it out. Going to be awesome.:thumbsup:

[Anytime72]

Offroad.............now you can rae onroad in the center. Looks smooth. Will the outside groove ever come in now?

I wish I lived at least 1hr closer and I could make it during the week and more often on weekends.

[RacerX11]

Will the outside groove ever come in now?


Yes, the outside grove will come in now. However, The track will require more throttle control than it used too. Be prepared.

[Dan D]

the track looks awesome, kinda looks like bumps when i started racing there. except no pit at the exit of 4.....LOL. what is the drive line now? infield looks alot wider.

[siggy99x]

Sweet Looks like its ready for an IRS event!!

[mikeschellracing]

the track looks awesome, kinda looks like bumps when i started racing there. except no pit at the exit of 4.....LOL. what is the drive line now? infield looks alot wider.

i was at bumps tonite to get some parts. the track infeild looked to be about the same as the original track, with the corners moved in just allittle from the original track. basicly you lost the inside 5-7 feet on each straight away[ as compared to the track this past winter]. the track looked super smooth!!!!

[terry14]

any idea what the runline is ?

[bumps and jumps rc]

maybe a tick longer
but it can be anything we want now :thumbsup:

[JASONHastings]

Looks Great Chris almost want to take the Summer off and just run indoors but it's not in my nature when I get a free Saturday I'll be wherever the racing is.

[Richie95]

HOT DAMN! I'm just going to throw my Bumps setup in the trash and start over!!! I cant wait to make the trip up there and run again. As far as getting off topic with cookies, thats Chris' fault, he's the one that keeps handing them out!
Nice Job to the Bumps crew. I look forward to the big races this winter....Whens the first one?


Richie Seeley

[rspilman]

Track Looks Awesome, Thanks to those involved with their hard work, can't wait to make it back down there!! :thumbsup:

[Crash#15]

[bumps and jumps rc]

You are correct $12 entry

Track is groomed and ready to race
First leg of the point series
First race on the reconfigured track.

I will get the feed up tomorrow - so those of you who can't make it can see the difference.
I am sure it will be hard to tell from the video - but the bottom is completely flat - and begins to start a bank about half way up the middle of the turn.
I have spent a lot of time on this - and I am hoping for multiple groves.
So we will all find out tomorrow what it changes :)

[Dan D]

what are the practice and race times? what time doyou open?

[signman501]

I'll be there tonite. My night out, Whopee:D

Marc, I appreciate the ride. It was interesting to drive a completely different car & controller. I felt like I had a pretty good feel of the hole thing. I even got into Steve one good time. Thanks.

[rj14]

When you made that banana split, was the wife smiling or laughing out loud when she saw you making it? ;)


She was smiling!:D

Did you get that pic the other night while you were still upright on the bar stool?

[shmeedel]

Marc, I appreciate the ride. It was interesting to drive a completely different car & controller. I felt like I had a pretty good feel of the hole thing. I even got into Steve one good time. Thanks.

No problem Glenn. I could not see you driving all the way up and not get to run. Maybe some day we will convert you from those Tekins. My Mamba and T2C Pedator is a fast combo and you can wheel it anytime.

[spottednewt]

New Car, New Transmitter, Same old tricks! LOL, I think I paid you back on the back stretch. I'm glad you stayed to run.

thanks Chris, for coming up with such a fun idea for the summer. just wish we didn't have to wait so long for the next one. the track was too much fun, although my car got a little, dirty!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jinglesinpa]

had a great time last nite! the track was good. hey gil next time i'll bring the narrow car. LOL it was getting pretty wide in the second heat!! came around nicely in the main though! had fun. just wish i could make the rest of them.
jingles

[screamingeagle]

dave keep the wide car, it will be easier to draft you for the slingshot. considering the track was a little green the racing wasn't too bad. see ya at wernersville

I think we ran the road course in the first race, at least I think the 14 car was running it:D

[terry14]

i was being an over acheiver ;)

[screamingeagle]

kind of exciting wondering what the next layout will be for round two. the neat part is everyone has their own groove. if we could get as much traction on the track as there is in the infield we would all have a merry christmas!

[RacerX11]

From what I hear it is a Trioval, somewhat like a pocono. Nothing confirmed

[Teamt2c]

knowing chris! figure 8 with a crossover! so no breakage!

[screamingeagle]

wow! are we really running a figure eight? do we get points for winning or for style points for the biggest barrel roll

[bumps and jumps rc]

Round #2 this Wednesday night.
Track is different from last month, and looks like we will have some great racing.
:D

[BOOSIER RACING TIRES]

Logan and I will be there, who else is coming ??????

should be fun with the new track layout.......

[perry]

Andy and i will be there and i think Brian Strausser.

[FREEZER]

I'm not going to make it for this one guys. Alot of stuff to repair from tour race and not enough time or $'s. Have fun, hopefully the next one I can go. Jim Fries.

[bumps and jumps rc]

[screamingeagle]

where is Buford T Justis when you need him. they ought to be arressed just for driving something like that!

[BryanB]

Chris is this series still open for anyone to run? In the future will these types of races be structured any different?

[bumps and jumps rc]

Sure open to anyone
I am not sure what you mean structured different.
You mean the same track every month?

[BryanB]

I mean is it still going to be limited and 13.5? and will it still be open to expert drivers?

[cj funk]

hummmmmmmmm

[bumps and jumps rc]

there is only one race left - this week.
I am not sure it matters - or for that matter I don't think anyone one cares.
Hope you can make it.

[bumps and jumps rc]

Last round of the series wed night.
$25 to win each class and $ for the point series.

Last new and different configuration.
What will it be? - not a figure eight
I'll figure it out Wednesday when I lay it out.

Have you been drinking slushies again????

[Microrracer9]

wow. i take it it's not supposed to be like that?

[JASONHastings]

That is actually cool.

[bumps and jumps rc]

Mains will start at 8:50

Heading into the last race Joey and Kenny fisher are tied in 13.5 late model
Neither one was the TQ, that belongs to Curt Seiber
So whoever finishes higher in the main wins $68 for the points fund, and if that person wins they receive the $25 to win

In limited Brian Bowie is the points leader with Andy Phelps only 6 points back.
That is about 3 positions apart heading into the main
The points are worth $70 for this class.
