Fray 2012 Updates

Watch this space for updates from the Fray in Ferndale as they come in.

Feb 29, 2012 8:27am Pacific from Mitch Valder of Sacramento, CA.
Biggest news early in the Fray Week is that the heaters are ON in Belotti Hall. It was a welcome surprise to enter a . . . well, I wouldn't call it WARM, but a pleasantly comfortable room.

Nice contrast to the driving rain just outside.

Back to it . . .

No new news from the Frayers. I can only presume they are busy testing, tuning and shooting the bull. As soon as I hear from anyone in Ferndale, I'll be sure to post it here.

Just practice today.  Team IROC tomorrow.  


Mar 1, 2012 6:29am Pacific from Dave Parker of Hunstville, AL
Heat? What Heat?
Maybe in the morning... but by the time the sun fell, so did the heat.  Oh well... it was time to head to the brewery anyway.
 
Day one was practice/practice/practice.  9 tables... 54 lanes... 54 different perspectives as to how badly I sucked. 
 
But I got to shake Rick Jocham's hand, so the day wasn't a total loss!  LOL
 
Lots of fast drivers with faster cars than I have ever seen on a t-jet track.  A virtual Who's Who of t-jet racers/dealers (no offense to those on the East Coast who couldn't/didn't make the trip).  Really great to put a face with so many names.
 
Rick Phyllis let it be known he is here for more than serving as race director as he won an impromptu practice race with about 25 racers.
 
Maybe today the lanes will look more familiar.  Or at least maybe the heat will be back on! ;-)

Mar 1, 2012 7:33am Pacific from Rick Phillis of Ferndale, CA
About fifty have arrived so far. The other half will be here by
Friday. There have been two practice races so far with first being won
by Chad Trump. Some of the new faces are from St Louis, Huntsville
Alabama, Salt Lake City, Eugene Oregon and the East Coast.

Today's event will be the team IROC race with five teams signed up so far.

That's all for now,

Mar 1, 2012 8:00am Pacific from Dave Parker of Huntsville, AL
Junkabilly's Question: Do they race only fray cars or are there other classes as well?

Dave's Answer:
Nothin' but fray.... individual race tomorrow, team races (16 or 17 of them) on Saturday.  10 lap heats for each racer on the 5-person team on each lane.  So 60 laps times 16 races... around a 1000  laps of intense racing.

Mar 2, 2012 7:04am Pacific from Dave Parker of Huntsville, AL
Fray - Day Two - "I can't see!!!"
Well, now I feel like less like a rookie.  I almost feel comfortable on 3 of the 54 different lanes.  Only 51 more to go!  
Still meeting lots of the "old hands"... still learning tons of ways to go fast.  15 minutes of time with xxxx was worth the price of admission.  (trying not to list names... there really are many... many notable t-jet racers and builders  here and would hate to mention someone specifically and not mention everyone else.  suffice to say, I am humbled... and not worthy.)
 
A "practice" IROC race yesterday.  My team "Inland Empire" finished well... 4 wins and 3 losses (after one team called in some ringer replacements.) I think I finished 35th out of about 46 racers.  I seem to recall RAP at the top of the list.  (dang it... I said I wouldn't mention names.
 
Gotta tell you... if you have never been, mark your calendars for nest year!

(In response to Greg Carpenter wishing and hoping the best for people in Dave's area of the country due to the hurricane outbreak)
Greg,

Thanks for the thoughts... all the family is fine, but the exact same subdivision that got hit last year just north of our house got hit again this year.
 
Dave


I'm very relieved that Dave's family came through the day unscathed. I wonder how his cars and trigger finger did today. -Cory

Mar 2, 2012 10:36pm Pacific from Dave Parker of Huntsville, AL
More from the Fray - the individual event.
Just a short update... it's been a looooong day.  I think we had every letter of the alphabet for the mains... 81 racers... but in the end it was Adams, Boswell, Hurley, Jocham, Lincoln and Voeglin making it to the A-main. Holy crap did those guys put on a show with some incredibly fast cars.  But it wasn't much of a surprise when the computer popped up the results and RC Lincoln had won the individual competition.  He dominated many of the heats leading up to the main.  Adams was second, Jocham was third, followed by Voeglin, Hurley and Boswell.
 
Another long day tomorrow... 18 teams, so 17 races.  But the cars are impound, so nothing to do tonight but sleep.  :-)

What a day in Ferndale!
Absolutely the greatest day of racing I have ever experienced.  Great teammates... great tracks... great competition.  Captain Mickey Hurtado had a great quote to start the day - When Chris "Action" Jackson asked about what to do about having butterflies, Mickey's response was "Get them to fly in formation."  That line helped me to deal with the chaos, carnage, and comraderie to come.  Just keep it together.
 
Saw one post already about the winners... listed the captains, but each team was full of great racers.  Also, there were 98 racers there today, including a few younger racers and some  local newcomers.  I'm pretty sure EVERYONE had a great time.  As for me, at the end of the day I got a little brass plate that says "The Fray in Ferndale 2012".  Most expensive plate I have ever bought, and worth every penny.  For those who have the opportunity, make the trip someday... you won't regret it.

Congratulations to Team SoCal for their win in the team race on Saturday.
Congratulations to RC Lincoln for his win in the individual race on Friday.
Congratulations to Team Ferndale for their win in the team IROC race on Thursday.

I'd like to take a moment and thank all of you who have contributed to this post, viewed this post or spread word of it. It's been a fun experience and I can NOT wait to see pictures and hear stories of the 15th annual Fray in Ferndale.

I know the information is a little incomplete right now. I will tackle that in the morning. I would appreciate any information you may have regarding yourself, your friends or teammates so that I can complete the final results info.

Safe journeys, racers. I hope you got seriously Frayed.

-Cory

Here are a few pics.  Feel free to repost.

Best line of the event.  "We should use the purple track as kindling to burn the red track."

My best memories of the Fray
1.  The whole atmosphere of the event.  Thanks Rick Phillis!
2.  Trying to learn 54 different lanes.
3.  Paul Josefy and Paul Leuty having great runs in qualifying.
4.  Almost making the A main.  So close.  Thanks to Rick Jocham for a great car.
5.  Meeting the manufacturers of the sport.  RC Lincoln, Greg Davis, Brad Bowman and others.
6.  Hanging out with our NorCal group and especially Team Sacramento.

Blue track. 2 straights, 2 humps, blind corners and a lot of marshalling.

Red track. Power and a maze

Purple track. The butterfly with two humps. Not used in the team event....thankfully.

It is reported by Dave Parker that the above picture of the purple track has the (mostly) headless Inland Empire team in practice mode.

Orange monotony. Hardest for me to learn.

Tan track on the way to storage.

(In response to Alan VanDoren's (of TRACK) congrats on his third place in the IROC race.) 

Third?  Nope, we were 6th.  The 1/2/3 teams were very strong and smoked us.  They were the cream of the crop, and the racing among them was very close... 1st tied with 3rd, but beat 2nd, and 2nd beat 3rd (just barely).  One or two different placements would have changed the results.  But we gave 4th and 5th a good run, and upset a couple of other teams.
 
Sounds like you guys had a great time as well.  I'm looking forward to a nice "relaxing" club race later this month.  LOL
  Dave

oops... yep, we were 3rd in the IROC, but that was an 'unofficial' race with only 8 teams entering.  We tied for 6th (out of 17) in the team event, which is the focus at the Fray.

In a little bit of a backward move on my part, the qualifying times have been posted on the Fray site. They can be found here.
Qualifying times.

Also, the individual car pictures have been posted. They all look so cool.
