Default NASCAR Proxy Series - Request for all Host Tracks

Please excuse my redunancy - but will all the hosts let me know if they still wish to do so. Also, anyone else that wishes to be a host, please do contact me.

If yes, please let me know what month(s) you can do this - it'll take about 3 hours or so to run all the cars for the allotted 15 minutes.

I want to have 10-12 tracks with races every 3 weeks, so this series will extend into '08.

Also, would you please, at your convenience, send me information about your track and pictures - type track and surface if painted, overall length & length of straightaways, power supply and voltage you're planning to run at, type controller, type timing system, and any other information you'd like to provide. I plan to post that on the website.

You may e-mail me at: davols@bellsouth.net

Thank You

Having Fun - Da Vols - Bruce & Harriet & Fluffs & Garfield

mcmannix - That would be great if it all possible...would now make for a 5 race Northern tour. I'm thinking after I hold the first race, sometime in July would be the next one...figure 3 weeks between races so if there's a month that works best for all at Shoreline - July August September October?

If I can get just one more Mid-West and/or West Coast track the Green Flag will wave in June

Paul - I'd say to take it off that back burner and on to the front, but you can let it warm up slowly.

When the schedule is announced it will allow for at least one month for car preperation.

Default Happy to build an Indy Oval

If that is what it takes to host a race Bruce,

Also hope you post here so you get the exposure your efforts deserve.

Let me know

Would be easier to run a Road Race, like Watkins Glen or Sears Point ( or what ever that call it today!!)

But I will do anything to race your car Bruce, anything , ok I lie almost anything

You'll be able to dig out all your old C187 banked curves!

Hi Bruce,

I can build an Indy-type oval for any point in the schedule that suits you. Something similar to what we raced on in this YouTube clip built out of Scaley Sport.



Hoping to get a car together too!

Default I'll mention it here too

You can have use of our 2 ovals anytime. We will be happy to work around your schedule. All but the weekend of American Lemans at Road America is open.

I keep forgetting to get the track stats to you but I promise I wll by the end of the weekend.

Oh, and we are in the midwest - St Louis to be exact.

So.....what are the requirements for a track? Are you looking for a typical Nascar style track or that does not matter?

Any oval, the weirder the better. Left turns only.

How do you make a weird oval? I know, would a SCX oval painted pink qualify? I guess thats not really weird, just kinky. I'll keep thinking about it. Give me more time.

I haven't run mag-less on my Carrera banked tri-oval (and it's not up right now). Are the steep banks a hassle without magnets? (R2-3 with a flat R3-4 at the "tri")
