Gary Triska's Roller : Asking $2,000 Korinca Truck (needs tranny): $3000 Not sure if there are more.... These trucks are pretty cheap. Hopefully some guys pick them up!

So to be sure I get this straight: New track owner comes in on a message board, offers to run events by our track's rules, and openly invites our competitors to "come race with us". Then a public offer of teamwork by Delly. Then the first track owner cancels the whole thing only 4 days after the initial post, without even having talked to Delaware to see if they could work something out. Considering the so called $50.000 LM race of the century (my words not theirs) that they seem to be planning, it might be prudent to cultivate a little credibility first. And maybe do some actual promotion rather than just message boarding. This place is a general sounding board and doesn't even really accurately reflect the thoughts of the community as a whole. If you want to get something happening for real, get down in the pits and press the flesh a little. Just sayin.

McQueen racing knows little about racing but has a lot of fun. Plus you won't find any better guys then past competitors who always look to help. If it wasn't for guys like verberne,Brady,showler, and Blaauboer I wouldn't even bother racing. But these guys lend a hand when it comes to rookies like us. My chassis was

No. Good on Gord for trying to put together a show. That's awesome, and smart. As for your thought process on under ten grand, I slightly disagree. Crate, 'Glide or good trans, gear sets, plus truck fabrication goes north of ten. That's the reason the class is in shambles. It is now seeing a resurgence, and that's spectacular. Yes, you can build them cheaper, and get around. But you won't be competitive.
When trucks came out, it was an awesome class. It can, and will be again with time, and patience. Firs time in years, there's actually Rookies. So Gord, go for it, and hopefully you can help get the class filled. Next year (possibly some races this year), if you stick with it.. build the class up, and we can have some kind of mini series between tracks. That idea got good reviews (some bad but good outweighed it) with the Flammy/Delly schedules.

Thunder Car/Super stock have turned into purpose built machines which have escalated the jump from local tracks beginner classes to the next level both financially and car set up wise.The truck class is a perfect stepping stone.Frames are abundant,parts are abundant,and you can be competitive for a reasonable price.Give Gord a break on this,the man bought a racetrack a week ago that would have been closed soon. He had to put classes and a schedule together in a huge hurry to be ready for this season.Congrats to both Gord and John.Gord for keeping FTMS open and trying to improve it, and John for having the only asphalt track that offers V8 classes in their weekly show that you can be competitive for under $10000.

Posted by: McQueenRacing« on: April 23, 2014, 01:26:44 AM »I would have been in for a race or two!
Posted by: R Verberne« on: April 22, 2014, 09:53:31 PM »Thank you to the truck teams that I've spoken with about racing at FTMS, unfortunately I have removed the dates I had scheduled due to lack of response. I like the trucks and saw potential or I wouldn't have even considered it. Maybe another time, Good luck at Delaware. Why would you pull all the dates without even talking to Delaware Speedway? They could help you promote what you are trying to accomplish, one or two date would have been a ton of fun!! To bad you can't just give them a simple phone call and talk to them, they are very reasonable people !!

Although we were not contacted regarding this program, we leave the door open to future discussions with Full Throttle Motor Speedway should there be interest. We wish FTMS every success in the upcoming season. -John Houghton Delaware Speedway PR (519) 652-5068 x 201 Posted by: fullthrottlemotorspeedway« on: April 22, 2014, 04:06:27 PM »Thank you to the truck teams that I've spoken with about racing at FTMS, unfortunately I have removed the dates I had scheduled due to lack of response.
