Tom, on electric sprint is a bolink sprint body on a b3 chassis ok. What about width? I use truck wheels on the rear with the inside flange cut off so it makes for a little wider track.

[MK Race]

Hey looks good Murray. I plan on running a lot of dirt this summer. Plan on bringing the son too. Is the Custom Works gearbox going to be legal in the stock class? Might be a couple more guys coming up to race this year.

You have any Sprinters for sale?

Also, is the club website working? If it is, send me the address, please.

[tom murray]

racerrandy, Sorry, but it must have a cage. I have seen a couple of B3's that had custom works cages on them, with the sides of the chassis trimmed.
Mike, the Custom Works gearbox is legal in the Stock oval class, as is anything with a gearbox and a stock motor.
The web site is up and running, with our schedule.
I might have a sprinter or 2 for sale but that will be a little later after we see how the Novak Brushless holds-up in the Gear-box car.
But so far so good with it, lots and lots of power/torque..
We could race tonight, but it would be BOATS only, when is the rain going to end????

Tom,

This will be the second year in a row that your "big" race is the same as the Nitro Tour stop in PA. I really would have liked to come but am already obligated to the PA race. If you move it, I will come..LOL

Good luck this year, I will try to get some guys together and maybe come down for a weekend race.

[MK Race]

What rain????????

Thanks. Web site looks nice. The other one I had wouldn't come up.

[tom murray]

Todd,
Nie to hear from you, come down any time. Had a super time the last time you did.

Mike K,
Well then its the pond we have for a race track, thats our hold-up this weekend...I see that they got the Busch race in today down at Gateway...

Later
Tom

[racerrandy]

Ok thanks Tom. Whats most people run for sprint,custom works or rd ent. Also if I come up what tires work on your track? I am assuming I could run my sprinter in the stock oval class.

[tom murray]

Randy,
Yes, you can run a gear-box sprinter in the stock class. But all of the sprints usually run in just the sprint class which allow mod motors.
Both types of sprinters R&D(Barts)and Custom works. Gear-box and Direct drive.
Tires would be any rubber buggy type tire. Bow-ties and hole-shots..
Thanks
Tom Murray

[tom murray]

But I will be there next weekend, the 24th.
Did some testing though last night, all went well,Sometimes its good to take care of the track.
Have you found a Sprinter yet?
Later,

[tom murray]

Hello All,
I have made a change to the schedule concerning the $50.00 to win sprint car race, it is for the Electric sprint class only.... I also made other changes to the schedule too look closely...
We plan on racing tomorrow nite(Saturday May31st).
We had a lot of racers show-up last weekend from St. LOUIS,Mo, Bloomington,Il, Havana,Il, and Lagrange MO all over, only to be rained out....
I hope that you are all able to make it back, As I think that once we get past this rain cycle, the racing will be Excellent...
Thanks

Hello All,
Well we finally got to race last night, All I can say is wow!! 65 entry's, that was just awesome.. It made for a long night, but we got it done.. Next week will go much smoother time wise I'm sure. We are thinking now of starting at 6P.M. if the numbers stay the same or increase, we will probably have to make a change.. Thanks for all of those that traveled, and thanks to all of those who helped....
I expect a large turn-out next Saturday, alot of sprints are expected.....
Thanks,

[MK Race]

Hey Tom, the track was awesome. Great turnout. Maybe with new batts I can crank up the timing on the 8 double.

[MK Race]

Hey Tom, what starting time are we using this weekend? I'm still looking for a sprint ride. :D

[tom murray]

Starting time will be the same, It was to late to make the start time sooner..Will discuss that at the track Saturdaynight. I might have a sprinter you can use, if you help me out with my Intimidator..
Later,
Tom

[MK Race]

OK.

[tom murray]

Please note in the time change in our schedule on Staurday nights.

Hello All,
The Jacksonville R/C Speedway will be having
THE "DAY LATE" FIRECRACKER TROPHY RACE.
Trophys for all classe's.

A large crowd is expected for this race..

Come try out one of the best "Outdoor" dirt oval tracks in the country..

[MK Race]

Hey Tom, how about running one less class so you can maintain the mod car a little better. :D
I might have to bring the direct drive setup too. 39 laps?

[MK Race]

Hey Tom, think you might be interested in making a road trip to Kansas City for a race? Trying to get a group to go around the end of July. We could meet at my house and all ride together. I can drive, enough room for 3 guys with gear.

[racerrandy]

Let us know when your coming we are talking about rebiulding the track and making it bigger. I am going to try and make it to jacksonville in the next month or so also.

[tom murray]

Mike,
Just finished the b-3 conversion intimidator yesterday.. I will have to try it out Saturday night, but I will have the Direct drive ready to go... And yes, I think that I'll only run 2 or three classes this saturday...
Send me an e-mail on this Kansas City trip, but it will be hard for me to get away..
And yes, I think I could have gone 39 with the Direct drive, I remember being in front when the diff loosened up...:)

[MK Race]

You 39? I hadn't even pulled on the throttle till then. :D

[MK Race]

Hey Tom, good racin last night. Does that brushless motor have extra strong magnets? That is the only reason I can think of why my car pulled into yours. :D

[racerrandy]

Gonna let you guys know we are gonna race this next Sat. then we are tearing the track up and making it bigger. When it is done it would be awsome to have some out of town guys come race with us. I am sure we could learn alot.

[MK Race]

Hey sounds like a plan. Talked to Murray last night about making it out to your track, he sounded interested. That was before the main though. :D Cash or trophies Murray, see what happens. tongue.gif

[racerrandy]

Hey Tom, on your r/c dirt nationals is that oval,off-road or both? I got about 4 guys and trying to figure out a time to make a trip.

[tom murray]

The 3rd annual Illinois R/C dirt Nationals is a combined event with classes of oval and off-road.
Thanks,

[tom murray]

Hello All,
One month and counting till the 3rd annual Illinois R/C Dirt Nationals....
The oval is faster than it's been in awhile..
It was just reshaped last week, great banking and super nice transitions onto the straights...
The track record was almost broken last week in the Electric sprint class. And the Mod oval guys are really flying!! 6 seecond laps on a 240ft oval thats cooking...
Thanks for all of the E-Mails and keep them coming.. I have info on Motels and resturants foranyone that might need them.
Thanks

[MK Race]

Hey Murray, got the car flyin at Allen's Saturday night. Blew the idler out of the stealth in the first so I ran the direct drive setup in the second heat and ran a 5.99 and 6.00 lap. The car was way off the setup though and had some really bad laps. Kevin gave me a new idler for the main and the car really flew. 37@4:03 8 double for this Saturday. :D

[tom murray]

Hello all,
A new track record set tonight in gas truck oval by Tom Murray 35 laps..I told you the track was faster....
MK sounds good, see you Sat night at Jacksonville R/C speedway.
I think that I'll try my gear-box car in Mod again..
Later,
Tom
