It's about that time of the year again.

Last year's race was a huge success with 101 entries, that was bigger than the ROAR and Arcor carpet nationals.

This year we will be adding a 4300 brushless class to the featured line-up. It has been a very quick and competitive. And the 19t 0 degree class will be the racing of the weekend as it has been all year, There have been very few mulitiple a-main winners this year and the qualifying should come down to seconds not laps... and i imagine another fast 4-cell Pro Mod field again this year.

Featured Classes:

Sportsman: Any car, any stock motor(must run trinity spec brushes), any battery, no wing, back of body must remain in.

4-cell Stock: Binary's legal

4-cell 19t 0 Degree: ARCOR motor rules, must run stand up brushes, No 4-mag cans(they are slower anyway)

4-cell Novak 4300 Brushless: 4300 motor max, novak systems only

4-cell Open Mod: ROAR rules apply.

1/12 4-cell 19t: ROAR motor rules apply.

We will also run any class with 4 or more cars, 1/10 19t open etc.

We'll look to secure some door prizes. And word on the street is some of the racers may scope out some corn fed "goodness" on Sat. night.

The Dates of the race are March 19-20, Doors Open at 7am both days and three qualifiers on Saturday, 1 qual. on Sunday and Single A-mains.

Please bring a table and extension cord, we have plenty of chairs. We do have some tables available but they go quick so if you want a table i would need to know ahead of time. I will also ask the locals to bring their own tables if at all possible.

Hope to see a bunch of guys for our race!

Danny B.

Looks like a good time, Danny. BTW, I am going to try out brushless for the first time. Anyone w/ a basic rollout to start w/?

Danny please save me a table my Focus doesn't have room to bring one along.

Scott I will be running BL also.I've been rolling out at 2.70-80 at Trackside and 2.50 at the Triclone carpet track which is 135' runline.The freer your car is the higher you can roll,just keep going up on roll out until the speedo overheats,not really but you can gear them really high if your car is effecient.

LMAO Corn fed godesses.........

Hays JR

the indiana crew is fired up and ready....for what i like to call "the birthplace nationals" so....no big trophies for the little cars this year, huh? shame on you randy harms :tongue:
dk

Hays Jr, I was going for "goodness" They are very wholesome girls...

Scott, Not sure what they are rolling the brushless out at, but they have been about a .1 slower than the 0 degree cars. I think the track record for them is 71 4:01, Cory V was on a 73 lap pace in the main but got into it with a lap car. Mike C says around 2.45ish.

For those that don't know Bluelineracer is a Vinton native...

Bob W., will do.

We added 1/12 19t to the list of featured classes.

One thing i left out is GP3300's max. the new IB batteries will not be allowed in any class. They aren't approved yet and we are going to keep consistent with our race with what will be legal at our Regions carpet regional next weekend.

A flyer for the race is now available at www.iroaronline.org Feel free to take one to your LHS or track!

I'm in for shure. Will run 4300 brushless & 19-0. I can't wait!!!

Im looking forward to this one again. Last year had some excellent racing in all classes and the mod class was stupid fast and should be even better this year. See ya there

Cant wait!! I think this year will be even better then last years!!

I Dont think the Zero Degree qualifiing will come down to seconds.....rather I think it will come down tenths, and even the hundreds of a second!!:tongue: The B-main will be just has tough as the A-main.:thumbsup:

Yeah, outside. :lol: :thumbsup:

SDL98, I assume this is our Steve L. I'm asking any local guys that can transport their own table to please do so. That way we will be sure to have enough for out-of-towners that can't bring there own.

Wolfman, you're on the list for 4 spots...:thumbsup:

MK Race, we can stick him in the back room for you...lol

Here is a list of the current door prize donors:

Murdock R/C
Lefthander R/C

Thanks to these guys in advance and i'll keep updating as we line up more prizes!! And stay tuned for a special annoucement, hopefully within the next couple days.

Danny B.

OH NO!!! Not with Wolfman. :lol: I want to pit with my buddy Phil.

Danny, There are 8 to 10 of us coming from the Quad cities here in IL. We will have tables but could you save us a spot on the far side of the track where we were last year? Thanks Dave

Hey Danny...wanna save me, Mike C and the cheeseheads some space where we normally sit...I need to sleep in on Saturday. Need my rest to fund colllege for all the local ladies.....

Great race last year.. Sounds like it will be even bigger this year. Looking forward to it.

After Saturdays race at Allens they should change MK Race to MK Wreck

I dont mind being in the back room so I can get a clean shot at MK's Pit spot.

Wolfman, :wave: Do you know where I can get a good stock motor? :thumbsup: If not, I can ask someone else, that way I can make the A main :tongue:

Keep the Pit table requests coming in. I've been suprised how many so far, but we should be fine on tables. Post here or email me through this board!!

Still waiting on a lot to respond yet.

Yeah Crazy, I can build a good legal one. You have to go elsewhere for more than that.....

Great racing with ya again.

Danny,

12th scale is a 4 minute race then if we're going by roar rules, right?

Thanks,

Mark

Mark, it'll be 5 min. that's the way we've always ran 1/12 round here. The Roar rules thing was more toward the motors, we won't check roof height(in any class) but you will have to run ROAR legal weight.

New ones added.

you are probably right Sonny

Man, I missed all the fun I think....all these people talking about legality and then 2 edited posts in a row..........darn.

huh...wunner what they said...

Man, I missed all the fun I think....all these people talking about legality and then 2 edited posts in a row..........darn.It didn't have anything to do with legality. I think it was just a little concern about all the races going on lately. No big deal. There are allot of races going on in the Mid-West right now & I wish I could make all of them but I have other obligations & will probably only make 2 or 3 of them. This is one that I hope to make!!

For those of you who may be thinking about the race but just aren't sure...it's a blast. Go, and you won't be sorry!

Danny told me we can go cow tipping sat. night so I think im coming. :thumbsup:

We've ran our spring trophy race on the third weekend of march since i started running with the club in 1998. 4 years ago we split it up running a road only race in the fall and oval only in the spring. The oval race has exploded into a mark on your calanders event now! I'm sorry there are only so many weekends in a year...

Aside from snowbirds and the 2003 roar carpet nats, last years race was probably the biggest race as far as attendance I've been to in the last few years....... what was it like 105 entries??? Both me and my Dad will most likely be there, maybe a few others from Wisconsin too.

Hays JR

Hays Sr. is gonna be there??!?!!? :eek: Thought he wasnt a traveler!! We Get to race with a Stock National Champ!! :thumbsup: HaHa just messin with ya Hays!!

Cant wait.....this is shapin up to be a Really Big shoooow!!

Here is some local motel/hotel info if anyone is interested:

There is a Super 8 in Urbana, IA which is approximately 12 miles from Vinton. Phone number for them is: 1-319-443-8888.
There is also a small motel in Vinton called the Modern Motel: Contact them at 1-319-472-2391

There are also quite a few in the Cedar Rapids area as that will be about 30 miles or so from the track.

Looks like it's shaping up to be quite a large turnout, can't wait. What is everyone planning on running anyway? Later.
