Matt Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) Hey guys, on Wednesday, I will be going to my local track for the first time this year, yeah, it's really late, but, the petrol pries have been killer. I will be sure to take a lot of photos, and post them when I get back from holidays, next Monday. On tap for the night. Double X-Car features (bookend the night) Super X cars (Like the X-Cars, but, V8) XModifieds. Legends cars. Watch this space, I will defintly have pictures! And, most likely, a short video of one of the XCar features. Edited July 28, 2007 by Matt
Guest Trash Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Have a good time Matt, but just one thing... NEVER come on a Uk/European website and moan about gas/petrol prices!! To fill my car up in the Uk (a normal mid size family 4 door) costs about $100-$110 dollars in U.S. money! It's nearly 2 dollars a litre here, not a gallon! You have it good!
Matt Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) True, but, I just re-iterate what my mom says, considerig her car gets 14mpg, on a good day, lol. Edited July 30, 2007 by Matt
Rikard Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) True, but, I just re-iterate what my mom says, considerig her car gets 14mpg, on a good day, lol. Get a different car then! lol What about something like a Diesel Focus? get 50 odd mpg doing 55mph on a freeway no problem. Plus diesel is cheeper then petrol in the USA?

Biffo Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 Hey guys, on Wednesday, I will be going to my local track for the first time this year, yeah, it's really late, but, the petrol pries have been killer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of course U.S. Gallon is only 3.75 litres and an Imperial Gallon is 4.25 litres....... .....O.K. we`re still being ripped off.... Photos should be interesting Matt, hope to get back out to Florida myself for November and visit another track. mmmmm more photos.. Regards Biffo
Matt Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Posted August 2, 2007 Well, an interesting night it was, about ten SuperX cars were taken out at the end of the first lap, in a huge melee. Unfortunatly, I was eating ice cream at the time, and the camera couldn't be operated. (Days of Thunder excuse!) I got three videos, the first two laps ofthe XModified, Legend, and Xcars second feature. All should be posted up within the week. Along with the pictures I got.

Matt Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Posted August 5, 2007 I also went to the track last night. They had the NEMA midgets on hand. Imagine a World of Outlaws sprint car, half sized, with a 4-cylinder motor. They completed a 25 lap feature in 6min, 08sec. Absolutely amazing.
Matt Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Posted August 18, 2007 Hey everyone, I got the pictures and videos uploaded, I hope you enjoy! Videos: Sorry about the darkness. Again, sorry for the darkness. Nice and bright here! Photos: Click here for 60 photos from both Wednesday and Saturday shows. Enjoy.
splinter Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 Thanks for that. Ace Track & Ace Cars Great track for the Legends and the V8 X-Modifieds sound thunderous! It looks a great atmospheric track at night, I used to love spectating at tracks when the lighting was slightly 'underpowered' ...not so good for filming at though lol
Matt Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Posted August 19, 2007 The lighting actually isn't all that bad, just, when you're behind it with a camera, it doesn't like filming, haha. Glad you liked everything!
Matt Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Posted August 19, 2007 Those videos don't do justice to how loud they actually are. The girl who wrecked in the Midgets, had a broken leg.
Biffo Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 Great work Matt.. Reminded me of the old Sunshine Raceway in Tampa Fl. before it was closed down to build a new highway. They raced similar cars there. Nothing like a large herd of , brain rattling, V8 motors powering down the straight. Liked the last race best, didnt think that #47 would make it safely round the outside but he managed it and won, have seen those walls rip the side off a car before now when you get it wrong..! Nice to know its not all NASCAR out there, plenty of quarter mile Raceways too.
splinter Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 yeah the car 47 driver looked great going round the outside. Nice to see tracks around where they can still do that these days. Those Midgets looked fast too! How old do you have to be to drive those?
Matt Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Posted August 19, 2007 I believe 16, and, you can't just be any punter, I also think you have to prove to be competent enough to drive well. You can't drive these like a BTCC car, as they are open wheel, and WILL take flight.
martin379 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 Great videos and great pics! The Midgets look(to quote any banger fan)epic!
