Ohio Challenge Cup 2008-2009 Schedule

Classes run:

GT 1 Class, a Parma 501 Sealed Deathstar Motor that is owned and well maintained by the series President. Can`t be any easier. Show up, solder the motor in, race it, and we`ll take it back out. Each race the motors will be cleaned, oiled, and the fastest and slowest motor will be taken out to keep the racing even tighter. No one gets the rocket or the rock. Pretty fair we think.

Group 10, Stamped steel chassis, racer built motor

GTP, Stamped steel chassis, racer built motor, either D can Super 16D or C can Contender type motor.

All General, Technical, and Class Specific rules are the links on www.jandbraceway.com . On the rightside half way down the Homepage
under where it says OCC Rules.

The First Race of the Series is coming up Nov. 15th. We`ve had very good response and looks like we`ll have a good turnout. Just talked to a Racer named Thomas from Springfield, Oh. that`s going to make the trip north along with 3 family members. And looking to run all 3 classes. That`s 12 Entries alone. With good support from my local racers and the other 2 tracks in the Series we should crack 50 entries on the first race.
It`s gonna be a good year guys! Hope you make the show. We`ll make it fun, we always do. My Bro Mark always makes a great lunch.

For any info please call me. 419-334-2100 or checkout the website at www.jandbraceway.com

I'm comeing just to eat some of grandma Wards cheesy potatos!!!

[Justin A. Porter]

I've just about got my Group 10 ready to run, so I will be there for sure. I think there are a few other guys from SpeedwaySlots that'll make the trip.

[J&B Bear]

That sounds Grrrrrrrrrrrreat Justin. Looking forward to all you guys coming on over.

Cheers!
Bear

Hey Bear, a few questions.

1: What's the Schedule for Saturday?
2: How much practice time will be available per class?
3: Do you think I'll have time to solder on a 10th, 64pitch pinion for my Group 10 on Saturday?

[J&B Bear]

1: What's the Schedule for Saturday?

Store opens at 9:00 am for practice
11:00 am we`ll pic GT1 Motors and solder them in the car
11.30 GT 1 Race starts
1 hour Lunch with the track being on for practice after GT 1 Race
Gr 10 race right after lunch
GTP after Group 10`s

2: How much practice time will be available per class? Like I said above 2 hours before the races start and an hour during lunch


3: Do you think I'll have time to solder on a 10th, 64pitch pinion for my Group 10 on Saturday? I`m sure you`ll have time either before the races in the 2 hours of practice before GT 1`s or the hour lunch.

Thanks,
Bear

Don't froget the 20 pound roast and all the fixens!! Should be a fun day.

[J&B Bear]

Race #2 of the Series is coming right up on Dec. 20th at Speedway Slots & Hobbies in S. Amherst Oh. He has the Old "Slot Shop" 100' Orange that has been redecked and runs great!
For more store or other Info check the begining of the thread or email Larry at www.speedwayslots.com or shoot him a call at 440-986-2298.

Thanks!
Bear

[Justin A. Porter]

Folks, believe me and Bear, it's not the same Orange anymore. It's a SWEET drive and I'm not just saying that because it's my home track. The best part? You must still beware the esses.

I've been doing a lot of digging into my Group 10, too. I think I found a few problems in the motor that killed me last time, plus I'm willing to bet that both my guide was set too high and the JK's were the wrong tire for your track that night Bear.

[J&B Bear]

There you have it from one of the home racers. Start with a good track, throw in a bunch of good racers, and that`ll = one fun day!

And never forget Justin if you ever need help with a motor or anything else I`m more than willing to help.

Check out the new videos Justin you`re a star...lol. You did a GREAT job in the middle as a marshal too.

Thanks for making the trip and I look forward to having you come again.

Cheers!
Bear

[J&B Bear]

The 20th is almost here. Race #2 is upon us.
Would Love to see you in South Amherst.

Cheers!
Bear

[Justin A. Porter]

Are the times the same for this Saturday as they were at your place, Bear?

[J&B Bear]

Sorry Justin didn`t catch it soon enough. But GREAT to see you there on time...LOL.
A much better day for you partner!
Good Job!

Bear

[Justin A. Porter]

Definitely a much better day. I have to give big thanks to three folks for all their help to get my car running so much better: Ben and Ron V gave my Cheetah 11 a huge going over that gave it the as-advertised handling, and my Dad stayed up late to turn and true my big diameter armature so that I'd have power to match the handling.

Haven't felt that good about a race in a long time, and I'm really looking forward to Route 93 because I haven't raced on a King since Hobbymasters was open!

[Justin A. Porter]

Just reminding everyone that the Ohio Challenge Cup will run it's 3rd event this coming Saturday at Route 93 Raceway in Akron. We hope everyone shows up to enjoy the wide-open fun of running on the big King track!

[J&B Bear]

Race #3 at Rt. 93 Raceways and Hobies in Akron is this saturday Jan. 17th. Store Opens at 9:00 AM.

Good Fun, Good Food, and Good Races will be the order of the day!

Frank and I Hope you can make it!

Cheers!
Bear

[Justin A. Porter]

I will say this. I kind of wish my Retro Can-Am car was finished so I could try it out down there, since Frank's running IRRA stuff.

[J&B Bear]

Thanks to a combination of no work but plenty of school, I won't be able to make it down for this round Bear. I'm sorry and I was hoping I could improve on the 14th I pulled out the first time I was down at your place.

On the plus side, I'm doing really well in Intro to Logic and Intro to Great Books.

Wish you could have made it, Justin. A good time was had by all. Larry stoped in from Speedway Slots and it's always great to see him too.

There's always next month at Larry's, hope to see you there. Great that school is going well.

Cheers!
