EASTBAY RACE! 8/25/07

[Hoosier Daddy]

Alright, we have the next Eastbay race scheduled. It will be 8/25/07. This will be a Saturday night race. There will be no big cars racing that night so it will just be ATVs, Motorcycles, and Micro sprints.
Just like last time we will have a knobbie class and will be having an open invite to nonmembers. The track owner will be promoting this race heavly on his end so we hopefully will have a good spectator crowd. He also promised us a super smooth track this time. Im also still working with Speed channel to get some TV coverage. We have changed the laps raced to 6 for the heats and 8 for the main.

There were some noise complaints last time. Sprints will be allowed but they must be silenced. Quiet pipes are allowed, but no open "drag" pipes will be allowed to enter the race. Most open pipes have a 3/4" OD that most any 2 stroke silincer will slide on to. The Sprint class is limited to single cylinder engines (2 or 4 stroke), and you can either run gas or alcohol.  We are also starting a Micro sprint class within the SFTL The first points race will be june 16th and we will be following the regular SFTL schedule.

Any questions feel free to email me @ Southernftleague@earthlink.net
Or call 813-695-1444 (please leave a message if you catch my voice mail)

There were alot of people complaining about being flat wore out. We can take a vote on it....

That will be shorter as well. You also have the option of pulling into the infield if you get to tired.

So did it rain or not?  I gambled at the last minute and decided not to go  .  I spent days getting ready then half of a day unloading and got nothing out of it.  If you guys did get a full night in how many were in the knobby class?

[Hoosier Daddy]

Nope no rain! We had 58 entrys, Green flag was at 7pm and were out of the parking lot by 930. There were 8 in the knobbie class.
If yall have pics plz send them my way.

Thanks!!

[FLA.SHEE]

how many in the stands... what did the owner have to say ?

[HillKiller]

   The owner was very happy and has invited us again possibly in January for a bigger event with hopes of drawing in the northern flat track racers.  The stands had a little over a hundred spectators. More to come...

[yfz122]

Had a lot of fun last night. Every race should be treated like there is rain coming. I wish every race went that smooth. You guys did a great job.

[jayman]

Where are the pictures? How smooth was the track?  Any wrecks this time? 

[yfz122]

track seemed good to me. no wrecks this time. the wall was wondering where you were at.

[jayman]

Oh thats funny 

[jayman]

Where are the pictures?

[HillKiller]

Had a lot of fun last night. Every race should be treated like there is rain coming. I wish every race went that smooth. You guys did a great job.

     I did my best to keep a class on the track every minute. The show went fast and smooth and one thing that really made a difference was having all the transfers for the features figured and ready to go when the heats were over. Thanks for the compliment.

[jayman]

I suppose that since you finished the race in record time  that no one had time to take pictures.  I guess it is my fault for deciding the last moment not to go.  I will have to wait until January.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Truth is, neither one of our track protographers were at the race. There was a professional guy there but im still waiting on him to email me some pics.. i saw alot of folks snapping pics but I havent seen any either.

[N-Tense Motorsports]

Sorry, I didn't get any pics.  Eastbay isn't the easiest track to get pictures.  There are 2 fences in the way and that makes it diffucult to get any pics.  There was an area last time I took pics at, but they roped it off, safety reasons I guess.
