I went to the Web site and looked on the form but can not find out how much is the entry fee?

[tanktruck88]

I have sent out my registration. Hopefully there will be enough people there to run the truck class.

[Jeff #M1]

BTW, if anyone is curious, the graphic at the top is the front of the t-shirt.

[RCRACR20]

Jeff..if you show up on Monday, Ill give ya my entry form then. Whats the class count look like?

[lugnut727]

You know Jeff can't count past ten. He'll forget where he was while taking his shoes off...lmao!!

[tanktruck88]

I am thinking of bringing a race boat just in case this rain does not stop by then.

[Jeff #M1]

Not that the "Weatherguessers" are always right, but there is a 0% chance of rain next Sat and Sun. 20% chance on Friday. The only day during the next ten days that they are calling for rain is Thursday.

As far as class count, I'm not sure. Entries have been coming in steadily over the past two weeks. Most guys that run EDM Mod are running EDM Stock, also. This is a part of the Super Dirt Series tour, so the points will be tracked differently. I will explain in more detail at the driver's meeting, but a quick explanation...

Matt Olmsted runs mod in the series. Steve Harris runs stock. Let's say Matt runs mod, and stock. If Matt wins the stock class, his points do not count in stock. If I come in second, same deal. If Steve comes in third, he gets first place stock points for the series (100 points), because he would be the highest finishing stock class racer.

There will be Summernationals champions crowned at the end of the weekend. Series points awarded will be added together to determine the champ. More on that in the PHR driver's meeting.

For those of you who are curious, it is Jeff Curran's intent to have the track finished this Sunday. By the looks of what is there, the only way I can describe it is that it is like a small Eldora. Where it is not quite like Kranzel's (you spend more time in the corner than in the straights), it looks like equal time may be spent between corners and straights at PHR. As time goes on, I have no doubt that this track will have multiple grooves. Since Finger Lakes has been covered, there has been no "fluff" generated, and PHR will be covered from the beginning.

It's going to be fun.

The track is looking sweet! Long straights and sweeping corners. Can't wait to test it out!

ok how about a show of hands on who is running trucks and 4wdlatemodel!!!!!

can anyone post a pick of what the track at phr looks like???

[tanktruck88]

Jeff, Ron and I are planning on being there to run our trucks. We both have picked up foams so we should be ready to go. We were wondering if the late model on the entry form ment our 4WD cars or not?? We are planning on bringing them although we both only registered for the truck class.

See ya Monday.

[jeff@vinyltrix]

yes clint that means tc3 class..

[lugnut727]

I hope it gets finished in time for a little practice during the week. I can't wait to play!!!!!!!

[Captain3Fingers]

practice? what's that?

[RCRACR20]

something you need a ton of techman

[goobydoosdad]

How early will some of you guys be there? I was wondering if there would be a need for making some coffee and donuts available on or about 9:00 AM.

[solly]

I plan on being there right around 9..I'll need all the practice I can get

[jeff@vinyltrix]

should be there about 900 also!!

[jeff@vinyltrix]

whats the update on performance hobbies track??
can someone post a pic or 2??

[kipp]

pictures pictures pictures !!! smile.gif

[tanktruck88]

Ron and I are planning on being there between 9:30 and 10AM. They changed the weather forcast. We may need to bring boats instead of cars.

I am really getting upset with this rain :mad:

[DangerDan]

At last report I heard Saturday AND Sunday are going to be BEAUTIFUL! in the 70's and/or 80's! we'll see! Looking forward to the NEW PHR!!
I'm sure the races (and track) will be a first class event, the guys at Performance hobbies (and Jeff) do a great job!

[tanktruck88]

I wish these weather guys would get it straight. On Tuesday it was going to be beautiful, by Wednesday it was going to be a wash out, and now they are saying that it will be mostly south and east of Syracuse. :confused:

Who knows???obviously not the weather guys. The only time they are accurate is when they are telling me about the weather for yesterday. :D

[Jeff #M1]

Absolutely not Clint! I have heard meteorologists screw up prior weather, too!

"Meteorologist" is actually of Greek origin meaning..."doesn't know jack $_ _ T!" (from the Greek word "medohnokrappa"). Maybe it was Italian, I can't remember.

[pzstang]

Well, I'm loading up the Hauler and heading up tonight. Hopefully the rain will be gone by the time I get there. Can't wait to see this Track.

[jeff@vinyltrix]

well if its raining will somepost early enough to let us know before we drive all that way??

[RCRACR20]

I plan on being there at 9...so Rupert, call before 8 if your gonna call me to tell me its canceld, haha

[g_rod22x]

[rcer6x]

The two events changed days. Performance Hobbies will run on Sunday. Heats start at noon the track opens at 9am. Hopefully some of you will see this before its too late.

Thanks to Fingerlakes for the switch on such short notice. The track was great. Thanks Fran.

Terry

[DangerDan]

the WDRA Summernationals was nothing short of a GREAT event! Jeff, George, Terry, and Kevin did a SUPERB job with coordinating the events and getting the tracks in great racing condition. Performance Hobbies Raceway was pretty decent condition considering it has never been raced on before today!
Thanks for everyones cooperation and hard dedicated work to pull of a VERY successful WDRA Summernationals event. Have to thank Fran at Finger Lakes Raceway for his cooperaton with switching venues on short notice due to the inclement weather.
Everyone seemed to have a really good time and everyone please give a "hand" to Jeff, George, Terry, Kevin and Fran for their hard work and cooperation.

[lugnut727]

I AGREE!! I had had blast!! Wish I could have made both days. I look forward to the Summer Nationals. It's a great event put on by good people! Thanks Guys for all your hard work.
It was great to see all the guys from out of town. Maybe they will all be able to make it for Walts Classic? Man I love racing out doors in the summer with friends!!!!!!!!!!!

[DangerDan]

Thats what its all about, having fun and seeing friends and meeting new people from out of state and joking around with everyone. This is a great hobby and being outdoors is an added bonus!! Can't wait til the next WDRA Super Dirt Series race! (when and where is it anyway?)
