CORR @ Pomona??

[blazersracing]

I have seen the proposed course layout for Pomona on the net and I love the idea. However, I have been by the Fairgrounds lately and there is no work going on there yet. Does anyone know if they are going to move the course to the horse-track? I sure hope not. It will be fun where ever they put it, but the origional plan would be awesome...

[xjobforacowboyx]

How long ago was the last time you went by? I might go drive by tommrow since im not to far, but at the momment im not sure. I hope they have started it.

I believe they are building there.

Im going off of memory so I may be mistaken. my dad showed me where the track would be a few months ago.

[xjobforacowboyx]

i belive its over by the drag strip

[xjobforacowboyx]

yup corrs website shows it by the drag strip.http://www.corracing.com/2007/index.php?p=race&id=55

Makes sense.
Like I said I wasn't entirely sure.

Thanks.

Won't take long to build the track..MTEG tracks were built in one week..

AV took 6.

[Jack]

There were there for 6, but didn't they change and redoo everthing in the last 1.5 weeks?

That is where all the peeps are whining about the mall being built?

[jamminjeff10]

According to sources, the track is going to be in the location as depicted on CORR's web site. From what i have been told, they are going to tear up the asphalt, use the dirt underneath to build the track, level it when they are done, and re pave it. Fairplex gets new asphalt, promoter saves money not trucking in dirt, neighbors cant get pissed about 15,000 trucks of dirt coming through the neighborhood!

Rather ingeneous if you ask me.

[Sid_Racer]

:p Baldwin most likely owns the hot plant for the asphalt. and the scrapers.

[cheap jeep creep]

I dont think there will be a mall going in there because theres a mall no more then 5 minutes from there.

[CEORanger]

i go home everyday by the fairplex and it looks like they are bulding the track between white, mckinley and fairplex drive just to the side of the drag strip. not where the green circle is. dont think its complete but dirt is laid and the track looked a little small IMO. next time i drive by i will snap a pic. red arrow is where i see the track and the circle is what i believe the track is. could be wrong.

however on the laverne side i do see dirt is laid or asphalt dug up on some of the ground but no track like what i am seeing off of mckinley. would be really close to houses too if the track was going there.


what day is better to go too ? saturday or sunday ? dont understand the CORR format. went to the one in chula vista and had a blast when they had the desert trucks.

[KevinC]

I drove by yesterday and took some spy shots. You are right CEORanger the track is right there at the McKinely and Fairplex entrance. As for what day to go - both.

[movindirt]

Racing around power poles. Sounds like fun to me. Nice spy pics, can we expect updates?

[FlyHiFlyLo]

That's the issue with it. Community (mall store owners) is up in arms.

[TROPHYSEDAN]

Just got home from Pamona. Track is layed out. the burms will be a little higher and then start building the jumps. The hole will be about 10 foot deep and they will jump into it. some of the track will be on asphalt.

[DailyPedal]

Here are a few pics for a teaser...can't wait for this race!!!!

[TROPHYSEDAN]

Daily padel were you wearing a blue shirt standing on the burn. when you took the last shot. I was in the dozer. i go for surgery on my neck and shoulder Friday but will be back up there hanging out.

[DailyPedal]

Sounds painful. Yeah that was me. I thought I would get the feeding frenzy going with a couple of teaser shots of the track but not show too much to preserve the element of surprise for everyone. I would have introduced myself but I didn't want to bother you guys while you were working. I was also helping out at the AV race flagging racers off the track and into the hot pit lane.
Too many years flinging handles and climbing on equipment? I hope for the best and for your speedy recovery...from an old Class 11 and 5-1600 racer-David

Good Luck on your surgery!
Mary Kay

[movindirt]

Hope the surgery goes well Dennis. Is this still the same issue you had and just getting it fixed or new?

I don't think there is any problem with posting pics of the track. Every racer is going to get to see and pratice on it prior to racing anyhow.

[pappawheely]

Speedy recovery Dennis! :)

[TROPHYSEDAN]

just got home from hospital. 2 inch long hole in my shoulder and a 1 1/2 in my throat. alot of messed up mucsle and nerves hope they can fix it this time. after 3 years of waiting. Thanks for all the replys and support. hope to be back racing and building tracks soon. Will post some more info on the track as i get it. Thanks Dennis

[Cadwell]

not much seperation between dirt and asphalt!! I think by the end of the second race they will all be racing on asphalt!!

[TROPHYSEDAN]

The dirt will be a average of 2 foot high. with the burms and jumps on top of that. there is one big section that will be asphalt. the hot pits will be asphalt. we started to make the starting line but the sheriffs still needed that sectiuon.

[86F-onefifty]

Only 13 days away!

FlatWheel Productions will be in the house

[MARK]

My wife just reminded me that "dirt is for racing, asphalt is for getting there" somtimes she is very wise.

[racer_dude]

My wife just reminded me that "dirt is for racing, asphalt is for getting there" somtimes she is very wise.

i would say so!!

should i start building some metal ramps so the trophykarts have a track? or is there going to be a course?

[jamminjeff10]

Any updates on the track progress? Photo's, etc.?

Hey Dennis, hope for a speedy recovery! Get ready for the Mint! ;)

[TROPHYSEDAN]

I talked to paulden about it. He sounded like he wants to go. I am heading up to Pamona in the morning. I will post some more info on the track tomorrow night.

[DailyPedal]

Maybe I will swing by friday and shoot some more photos. I went by there today but didn't have my camera. Bleachers are getting moved into place and more dirt has been moved around...can't wait..

[TROPHYSEDAN]

Pedal. look for the yellow and blue cherokee. stop and say hi.

[Jack]

Maybe I will swing by friday and shoot some more photos. I went by there today but didn't have my camera. Bleachers are getting moved into place and more dirt has been moved around...can't wait..


The bleachers are portable???

Will they even be high enough for good viewing??

At Palmdale you needed to be in the top seats to see the whole track.

[DailyPedal]

Come on dude, with enough tools and people everything is portable. And I was standing at ground level at the far north west corner of the track at pre grid and I could see 9/10 of the action. Some people are not happy until they get dirt on their teeth...LOL

[DailyPedal]

Dennis, are you guys working through the weekend? I wasn't able to get out to the track today but I will be in the area saturday...

[mark@PhotoAhead]

I went by there today but didn't have my camera.

And you call yourself a newspaper man

[DailyPedal]

Ouch, and that would be an unemployed newspaper man...LOL...and I think I am a better writer than photographer anyway...but then again...

[DailyPedal]

Got to see the track today and can't believe the progress! I will post pics tomarrow but for now, you won't want to miss this race-and bring friends. Should be a great chance to introduce noobs to off road racing at its craziest.

[TROPHYSEDAN]

The RJ traveling cercus. Rj has changed everthing 3 times allready. Theres good and bad with this track. The asphalt is a joke. the patch job on the old aspalt is a bigger joke. Its going to be hard to see in the big hole from the grand stands. I went to get my trailer and they were still trying to figure were to put the rest of the track. RJ is going to move it again. It looks like the trophy karts are going to get ripped off on there track. Becouse the high voltage power lines in front of the grand stands. best of luck to the racers.

[WIDEOPEN]

ive been working at the track for a week yea its next to the dragstrip we just got the krail set on the straitaway and starting the catch fence soon its gonna be sick!!!

[Volkspower Racing]

Pictures yet?

[CEORanger]

from mckinley st. today...

[DailyPedal]

Here are a few more...but they cannot do justice to the scope of the track. Imagine the world's biggest R/C track...maybe...

[DailyPedal]

And a few more...

[DailyPedal]

And the last. Now these were from saturday and the track continues to be tuned so...

[tneve22]

Thanks so much for all the pics...was having a hard time visualizing how this was going to be pulled off. Now I wonder if I should get my tickets for Sunday now? Being in Pomona will get more people than Antelope valley and weather will be nicer.

[down4glamis]

any word on camping for this event? i dont live too far, but wouldnt mind just staying and making a weekend out of it...

[HUBBARD]

when i was at phrump i was told that pomona was already sold out.

[DailyPedal]

I went to the CORR website and there is no indication that the race is sold out. I went all the way through the checkout deal (but stopped short of paying). However, I would get tickets as soon as possible as this may well sell out. And there is an RV parking option available for purchase.

[CEORanger]

i just bought tickets for saturday and sunday. took my credit card info and is in pending status. corr site said to log in at a later to check that the credit card was authorized. no mention of sold out...yet

[jamminjeff10]

Bought tickets online at www.corracing.com today for both days, no problem. They also have RV spots for $75.00 for the weekend.

[TCPRacing]

Track look fun. I better get my truck together soon...

[Matt_Stankavich]

Is there enough intrest in the ticket availabilty to make its own thread? I plan on going on Sunday, but was just going to buy tickets at the gate. I would love to know if there is actually going to be tickets available.

[Mary Kay]

I don't think tickets will be an issue. Corr sent me an add with a $5 coupon today!

[Kritter]

I dont believe these events sell out...when they start getting 70k in attendance, then maybe.

[RacerX]

I wish they had a deal for going both days. Didnt they do a two day deal at the chula vista race?

[inmymind]

Track look fun. I better get my truck together soon...

JOEL DID YOU SELL THE DESERT CAR AND DECIDE TO COME BACK TO SOME REAL RACING! AND WHAT TRUCK DID YOU BUY?

[FlyHiFlyLo]

Track looks cool. Three vides I can't wait to see as a race fan.

1) Robby schooling the field on that track.
2) The first bloak that takes out one of the power poles
3) The back ends of the VDubs after the Baja 500. (For the VDubs it may qualify as a "Short Course")

[TCPRacing]

JOEL DID YOU SELL THE DESERT CAR AND DECIDE TO COME BACK TO SOME REAL RACING! AND WHAT TRUCK DID YOU BUY?

Did not sell the desert car, planning to race the 500. I bought Vandenhouvel's pro-lite; best case I'll have it race ready by Chula Vista, most likely I'll have it ready after the break.
I must say that I miss the hell out of CORR racing...

[Bill]

AHHH thats to bad I just got home with the new rear bumper for you to try out.Will you still be at the race?

[Mary Kay]

Shocked no one started a thread for who will win the race!

I don't think Robby will win it!

[Bill]

I just want to finish both days again.

[TCPRacing]

AHHH thats to bad I just got home with the new rear bumper for you to try out.Will you still be at the race?


Yup...

I was suprised when you wanted to sell your truck, But glad to see you back in it!
The Chula Vista track sounds like its going to be one you dont want to miss, Hope your able to get the truck togather by then.

[TCPRacing]

If you have about $10,000, I'm sure I will :) I'll even paint it any way you like it...Bueller...Bueller....

[bryce1988]

is anyone else having rpoblems buying teh tickets on teh corr website? it keeps saying " no such records were found" when i click on the link...

[Steve_HKmtrsprts]

I am taking the family and friends to CORR this weekend. I heard at the last one in Antelope Valley that the announcers speakers were really loud. Should we bring ear plugs or something like that for the kids?

[pappawheely]

I would bring them for the kids just in case Steve. Hope to see you there. :)

[Offset Photography]

It sucks I couldn't make it to this event... been having back problems and off work for 2 weeks disability, so i made the choice to call off this weekend. It sounds like it was a good race. Ill be at the next one for sure.
