Budds Creek
 

Who is going to the Creek this weekend? There has been no mention on here of anyone going or even talking about it for that matter.

Re: Budds Creek
 

We should be there bright and early on Saturday. Hopefully not to sit in the rain. But what the hell, I dont mind running 2 races in one day.

Re: Budds Creek
 

I'm going. Not sure if late Friday or dirt-early Saturday.

Re: Budds Creek
 

On my way now...or sorry not really hopefully i can make a few hits tomorrow on the car and be ready for sunday. Whats up Mr. Pare you coming and bringin Hudlow?

Re: Budds Creek
 

They'll get saturday in........50% chance of rain.......as long as they don't consider the bracket race a "Major" part of the weekend.

Re: Budds Creek
 

..sorry, I have to sit this one out..I am in Bracket race mode..I am testing my Comp car, and still have a ways to go.. Best of luck to ya!!

Re: Budds Creek
 

We're leaving around 2 or 3pm today. The weather is kind of looking better - 60% chance of rain tomorrow I see on weather.com, but now Sunday went from 20% to 30%. Hopefully things will work out. Everyone have a safe trip.

Re: Budds Creek
 

Regrettably, I will not be able to get to my first pro-am this weekend. Good luck to all, I am new to class racing, and am looking forward to competing in the future, master or junk the two step on the pedal, and have fun playing with the 96 ct/sa dakota, or even the 70 challenger.

I was exposed to the stock/superstock racing crowd for the first time last year at the national event at Epping, where I was footbraking with my 70 challenger rt/se a detuned g/sa car in ET. Pitted next to Mccormacks beyond pretty white hemi stocker......watched everyone run and was hooked......

Bought Earl Six's CT/SA dakota in the fall, perfect fit for me, and competitive as it won class twice last year! I do like to compete, but must admit, being consistent on the tree is more difficult for me than hitting a 88 + MPH fastball in my 30+ mens baseball league.

Good luck all.

See you all in about 6 hours!

Re: Budds Creek
 

Not many cars today.....22 stockers and 14 super stockers. The weather was pretty good....got 2 times trials and then it showered for about 20 minutes....cleared up and still running........

Re: Budds Creek
 

Sterling Simmons showed making it 17. Now it's a 5 round race today.

Re: Budds Creek
 

I created an album under my photobucket account so I can share the pictures I take, this one is of the MIR divisional races - I'll try and do this at each race we go to. I uploaded 57 pictures, mostly stock, super stock and just a handful of hotrod cars. I'm still playing with this new camera, getting used to the shutter speed mainly, and trying to get consistent with it. I'm getting a lot of nice wheelie shots but cut the front fenders off just slightly - I'll get the hang of it someday. In the mean time here's what I got to share....

ANGELA, Thanks

Re: Budds Creek

Chip

Re: Budds Creek
 

Keep it Chip! Stockers are more fun. Hell, if you dont want to drive I will!! We are probably down for a few weeks now anyways...

BTW, Congrats Chip!

Angela, we saw you get a shot of the Bird. Come out any good?

Edit: Just saw the album!

Re: Budds Creek
 

I got video of the bird too - his name is Bo - he's only 17 months old - very impressive bird. I think he really digs the racing thing.

Re: Budds Creek
 

Great Pictures Angela...and thanks again for the Stocker qualifying sheet.

Re: Budds Creek
 

No....he didn't know Jack **** this weekend! I hope he takes it along to Rockingham and Atlanta!! Perfect fit for him, isn't it??

Re: Budds Creek
 

Hey Chip,
Here is another pic of your car!
Keep it. You made that mistake once before and regretted it. Starting from scratch gets more expensive every year!

I wonder if we can get Angela to lay on the centerline or by the walls for some undercarriage wheelie shots?;)
