i'm pleased to announce that R/C World & Raceway will be taking part of the US PancarChampionships.

this will be the first trophy race of the season for r/c world & raceway.

this race is part of the northeast series schedule.

points will be handed in for 1/10 pro, 1/10 sportsman and 1/12 classes.

is there a web site for this track/race

Yes, There are no pic's of the track yet. www.geocities.com/rcworldraceway

i must be missing it but where's the track located, address telephone number, classes run, etc.

the site dont even work sounds like it might be worth the gas

The track is at 144 Harte Haven Shopping Center Massena NY, (315) 764-0666. Regular season runs 1/10th Nascar/sportsman 1/12th scale, Gearbox, Statium Truck, And 1/18th scale Mini Truck. If you need further directions just let me know.

for this leg of the uspancarchampionships we are offering 1/10 19-turn, 1/10 stock, 1/10 sportsman and 1/12 scale stock.

track is 100' run line, flat ozite carpet 62' X 34'.

rules are same as plattsbugh, barre, st.roch, granby and glennsfalls... 3800 batteries max, 40oz w/transponder, 3mm min chassis ride hieght, 4 1/4" max hieght, open back body, wing allowed in all but stock and sportsman.

i'm not sure about the other tracks but you can run the binary 4 magnet motors here in the stock class.

Oh and to answer your question JR- you can run the 4 cell modified class too (I won't hold it against you if you don't draw many 12th scale mod boys but hopefully 10th scale mod is a decent draw)

ace, we had a "run what you brung" race at the season's end last year and i ran a putnam 8 turn single, it was a blast!!

our track is just big enuff for a decent mod race with eleven feet of track in the straits and twelve in the corners.

i just clicked on the track link above and it worked and is updated, thanks trevor :thumbsup: i wouldn't have asked you cause i thought you would have been too busy with the new baby, thanks again bud.

The website is updated like JR said and there is a couple pics of the track so far. Sorry for the delay JR.

Wow track is looking good! I like what you've done with the corners!

JR or Uspancarchamps can you tell me more about what the US Pan car champs are?? Whats the deal?? Do you have your own set of rules? Where are the other races held? Would like more info. Thanks.

The US Pan Car Championships started out as a single race to determine the best in America. Trouble was that it wasn't a decent cross section because not many for other parts of the country showed up. So I thought, why not bring the racing to the rest of the country, so now it is a national championship tour featuring 20 races (10 oval 10 onroad divided among 5 regions each getting 2 oval and 2 onroad) all leading up to a grand finale set for next summer. Here are the races for oval as of right now:

NE Oval 1: Steel City Hobbies, Pittsburgh, PA December 9-10
NE Oval 2: RC World Raceway, Massena, NY Nov 19-20
SE Oval 1: Thunder Road RC Raceway, Gordonsville, VA Oct 21-23
SE Oval 2: Manatee Thunder Raceway Bradenton, FL (date pending)
SW Oval 1: RC Sports Mania Raceway Phoenix, AZ Oct 28-30
SW Oval 2: Hot Rod Hobbies, Saugus, CA (tentative)
C Oval 1: Midwest Tri-Clone, West Bend WI May 18-21
C Oval 2: Halo Hobbies OH (tentative)
NW Oval 1: Racer's Oasis Kingburg, CA (date pending)
NW Oval 2: Rain City Raceway Renton, WA (tentative)

Oh and we do not have our own rules as of yet. We use ROAR rules (although I have to continually reiterate that we are not a ROAR sanctioned series, we just use ROAR rules as they are the most recognizable)

i think this is the start of something great, i know none of the racerz in our area wouldn't mind being a uspancarchampion of the northeast region.

i don't know about other racerz but myself i feel good when i can go to another track and be competitive.

uspancarchampionship races are "tour" races, we have them in the big cars and they are total fun.

i might sound silly and alot of guy's on this sight will pounce on that, but these northeast races are definatly on my race plan book.

Yeah, and you have the chance to become a national champion as well. Essentially the regionals are "sub-tours" and they will funnel to the national championship which we will be starting on in earnest here in the coming weeks

Well I was thinking of going to race at Sandhills that weekend,but I think there will be a change of plans. This race is going to be the one to be at.

thanks dude, see you the at the track.

Hey everyone R/C World & Raceway has the signup sheet now available. There is a couple ways you can do this. Click on the link below and print out the form and mail it in or e-mail us the info on the form or you can stop by the track and fill one out there. Thanks http://www.geocities.com/rcworldraceway/uspancar.html

Very well done! Although it should be noted that Sportsman stock is the non-championship class

How go the entry numbers? RCDriver magazine is one of our sponsors. I can get them your information for pirize giveaways and what not if ya like

Any info on the southwest areas Hot Rod Hobbies race??

Im workin on getting in touch with Jimmy Babcock on that one Milky. I hope to have a verdict on that one in the next day or so

One thing I should mention though...you can only run in regional qualifiers in a region involving your state of residence. You are to provide proof of residency in a state within a region at time of check-in. we will have a database hopefully of racers representing each state on the website which I have been told will be updated and ready to go in 2 weeks, in time for the first race of the tour at Thunder Road RC Raceway in Gordonsville, VA October 21-23 2005. There will be repercussions for anyone found to be "cherry picking" outside of their region

Keep me posted. Thanks.

Well I got off the phone with Jimmy babcock tonight and a race WILL happen at Hot Rod Hobbies in Saugus, CA. Currently a date is pending.

5 minutes away awsome.

this just in... the canadian guy's will qualify for points and will represent the northeast region at the uspancarchampionships in the big race this april.



i know as much about the big race as you reading this do, so go ahead and ask questions.

our race is going to be like any other of our trophy races, and we will hand in the results to uspancarchamps.

I will have to play the bad guy here for a minute though...We are running by the ROAR rulebook and that means no 4 mag 27T stock motors. Oh and 19t if it is an adjustable timing 19T motor currently available on the market it is allowed

no prob, no quads for this race. and yes we are running the adjustable 19's weekly with no problems.

Are Vermont residence qualified for the regional points at this race ??

Bob T

Yep. In fact just for clarification, here are the states for the Northeast region:

Maine
Vermont
New Hampshire
New York
Connecticut
Rhode Island
Delaware
New Jersey
Massachusetts
Pennsylvania

don't forget the canadians, or do i have to adopt em all for the series???

The fairy is waiting........

pancarchamps told me today...top three finishers, are qualified for the big race this spring.
canadians can win the region championship but i think they would have had to raced the previous race in pennsylvania.?? not sure but i will find out.

I got a surprise for you folks...if you run at the race in NY, and you haven't run at the race in PA and you finish top 3...you will still qualify! Each race will send its top 3 in each class to the finals. We are hoping to move more to a points series type format in like a year or two but for this year, if you race at one of those races and you finish top 3 in a championship class. you will qualify

Ace!!!

Oh yes and for sake of this race any part of canada that falls within the NE region

a week and a half away, northeast carpet racing at it's best. a ton of guy's have said that they are coming, i haven't seen much talk on this thread, but according to when i see guy's at the surrounding tracks it sounds like the place is gonna be packed.

the track here is...100' run line, flat gray ozite carpet, 60 x 32 footprint, 98%smooth.

amb transponders, no personals yet, the club couldn't raise enough money to upgrade.

you can see pics of the track @ www.rcwoldraceway.com (http://www.rcwoldraceway.com)

saturday november 19 is all day practice
sunday the 20th is the race, first heat starts at 11:00 am.

how are the entry numbers looking coming in JR?

question so the cobalt 9 teen adjustable timing is legal for the 19 turn class right. it is roar legal, just want to find out if i have to get another 19 for the big race? wings are allowed in the 19 turn class right?


p.s yes the professor will be there to run the 19 turn orange bennet racing beast.

It would have been legal anyway because ROAR has a very short list of legal 19T motors anyway. We are allowing pretty much any commercially avaiable 19t adjustable timing spec motor, just it has to maintain its physical construction as it comes from the factory (which means you can change springs and brushes if you need to)

And whether or not wings are allowed, I will leave that one up to the guy who runs the place. Hey JR, do you guys normally allow external wings up there man?

Cool I can answer that one i run every week here at r/c world and yes we run wings in the 19turn class.

Well then yes they are allowed :cool: ;)

This is going to be a big race day. and hopefully everybody that is saying they are coming do. can't wait.

JR - how can we register? I assume 1/12 will be part of the program?

M.P.

1/12 stock oval is part of the program.
