I'm racing a single buggy - anyone else racing????

[Andy McMillin]

Probst just built me and my sister top-of-the-line single buggies. Unfortunately, the cars will not be able to make the first CORR event on the 20th of this month, but we will be at the next CORR race in Chula Vista in July.

[negro3030]

hey Andy no chance of racing in a loaner, any invites?

how old is your sister, has she driven before?

[stealth]

Why are they not letting Class 1 cars race? They rocked last year....and alot of them out there. Class 10 and 12 but not 1?

[offroadaction]

The way they have been treating the "sportsman" drivers the last 9 months, you will probably see very few CORR regulars. Aaron Hawley said FU to CORR and is not racing Chula Vista and he lives a few hours away.


They are waiving the $100 late fee? Geeze...that is awful nice of them. Do you think that they are doing that because they know that most of the buggy racers are not showing up? The announcement of the new $100 late registration fee is just another sign in a long list that Baldwin does not care about sportsman racers and does not understand that they are the pros of tommorow.

They wouldn't have this problem if they invited class 7 & 7s.......No offense to the buggie guys!

I smell fear!! haha just kidding cuz. Bummer, i was looking forward to it!! Maybe in July I'll be able to race with you and Jess in my car.

[Volkspower Racing]

Volkspower Racing will be there with 2 single Buggies. We would like to put out a special thanks to Napa Auto Parts, Action Auto Gearbox's, Gear-1, Southwest Valley Sign-A-Rama, Maxxis Tires, Fox Shox's, Geiser Bros, Superior Pools and all our friends and family that have helped out.

No kidding. I know a lot of 7 & 7s drivers would be there in a second.
Events like ROR and VORRA always drew a big mini-truck crowd.

[kevin bedrock graves]

hey volks power those are good looking cars. do you use a harness seat or solid seat. how many single buggies are we up to doe anyone know. i hopefully will have an engine (a grenade engine just for the weekend) it was so much fun in oct. can't wait. hey you 7 guys have you called corr , i can't believe they dont want you there. all those roll overs thats excitment. i'd pay just to watch you guys.

Cars look great Jeff. Are you guys doing the whole series? Good Luck!!!!

[Volkspower Racing]

Kevin- They both have Beard seats in them. The blue car we bought from a guy back east and completly rebuilt it in the past 4 months. The white car was a old desert Mirage that I cut 13in of off the front and gutted all the desert stuff off of it. Hopfully it will work well. We are also going to put Micro hubs on it after this event.

Shane- Thanks! We are only racing out west this year, and hopfully the all of it next year. We wanted to go to Crandon this year, but our new baby will be here the end of June.

[ShaneR]

Congrats on the new baby Jeff!
I thought that red cage looked familiar, are you going to desert race at all now with another car or short course only?
We have the SNORE race that weekend and won't make the first Chula Vista race but will be at the next one.

[Volkspower Racing]

Shane, I still have my single seat yellow car, and we will be doing all the BITD races with it this year thanks to Napa. We are also getting ready to start building a brand new 2 seat 1600 for next season.

[GBoyer]

Corr said there were 24 single buggies/desert 1600 cars signed up last week.

[MGERALD195]

So do the Cali guys with Short Coarse cars have to run single port heads?

[kevin bedrock graves]

yes they do corr cars single port ,score legal cars can run dual port. i got that straight from the horeses mouth. the first race will be a test to see a comparison

[frankh]

Kinda suck that they are not going to run more desert cars. I was going to bring are 1 car down just for fun. Don't have a motor to keep up with the big boys but stilled looked fun.

[MGERALD195]

yes they do corr cars single port ,score legal cars can run dual port. i got that straight from the horeses mouth. the first race will be a test to see a comparison

It will be interesting, to bad Seefeldt, Steinhart and Fitzgerald's are not going to be there to see where single ports are compared to you guys. I'm only aware of one CORR single buggy that will be there. With how fast Dennington, and Phanchutch where last year i think the dual ports will mop up

[green787]

They wouldn't have this problem if they invited class 7 & 7s.......No offense to the buggie guys!
Yeah!!! :mad:

[negro3030]

class 7 put on a better show than TT or Class 1, I would rather they put the class 7 then other desert cars, great race, action packed, TT and Class 1 had to long of a course to make it that action packed...

[BlueCoyote]

... hey you 7 guys have you called corr , i can't believe they dont want you there. all those roll overs thats excitment. i'd pay just to watch you guys.

Email sent today
Called CORR HQ, spoke with Rachel who said this was an big issue, then referred me to Scott Rane <sp?> Left a voice message inquiring what it will take to have mini truck racing at CORR.

[Oscar]

Yeah, I talked with Tim (I think) a month ago and he said, there was a petition going around to get us back in. Tim said, he thought there may be a chance for us to run the last 2 or 3 CORR races if we all kept pressing the issue.

So for all the 7 guys, keep calling them on it. Dont give up!!
I'm gonna start calling every chance I get. Let see how many times they can say NO!

[baja_driver]

and they just keep ignoring the 5-1600 also..you could get an easy 15 cars there. corr does not respond to email I guess.

[pappawheely]

Javier Sacio is going to be at media day. What class is he racing if not 7?
Is pfankuch, Dennington, Forrest going to race?
What about the ladies? :confused:

[pappawheely]

the 7 trucks did put on a great show last year!

[Dan McMillin]

the 7 trucks did put on a great show last year!
Definitely one of the coolest parts of the whole deal last year.

Oh, and the Pro-2s flying into turn 1 off the start. lol

[Oscar]

J. Sacio runs Pro-Lite also.

[HUBBARD]

they need a sporty-lite class but every one thats race's corr nows that but i think they dont do it cause they want people in the pro class's

[retroblazer]

Probst just built me and my sister top-of-the-line single buggies. Unfortunately, the cars will not be able to make the first CORR event on the 20th of this month, but we will be at the next CORR race in Chula Vista in July.

I visited Probst shop last week. The cars are exceptional in every way. Kevin and Jeff Probst utterly dominated the buggy classes in the Midwest for years, with the exception of Scott Taylor. Although the older brother Jeff, retired from driving a few years ago, he continued to stay active building Toyota motors for Jeff Kincaid's championship Pro-Lite up until two years ago. Jeff has had the dyno working overtime wringing out the last little bit on these VW motors. I have little doubt that these cars are the new standard in this class.

[Fourstroker]

I believe Greg Crew is racing his Class 12 legal 2 seater in the Super Buggy class less all the desert stuff. He might do all of the Chula Vista Rounds

[green787]

I think they should run Ascot style motorcycles between the truck racing... What were they called "Hot Shoe" or something like that??? 900cc Harleys and BSA's and Triumphs... like I grew up watching at Elsinore Raceway!!! Those guys WERE crazy!!!

[pappawheely]

do you realize how much air they would get off the big jump?!?:eek:
