About how far north is this from York. Thanks Mike

Mike,

It is about an hour. See you this weekend at Maximus.

Anchor:thumbsup:

Nice to see another track opening in New England.....It is 3 hrs for me from Cape Cod Mass area but I would be willing to make the haul for a big event...Please keep us posted

No Racing On The Weekends??

I dont think you will see any out of towners on a week night....

PUF19 maybe that's the point. hopefully they have a good local crowd.

Hey guys I'm glad you asked why no regular weekend events. Reason is our club is opperated by racers. Myself and the other race director Shawn Wiley work weekends however once we get everything in order and we will be haveing a few weekend events. We have a strong amount of local racers so if your able to make it on a weekday I'm sure you'll be surprised with our turn out.


Travel time from other tracks by Mapquest:

From Maximun York ME 50 minutes

From Rc Excitement Fitchburg MA 2hours 14 mins

From Rcmadenss Enfield CT 3 hours 23 minutes
(I have done this with in 3 hours and I drive like old lady on the highway)

what time do you normally get done running oval on tuesday nights?

What is the most popular oval class that you run?

I have 4WD sedan, but I run oval. I am lloking for a place to race it.

TO:Mike Valentine
Well in the past we started at about 630-700pm and ran until about 1000pm, but that was when we were racing oval and onroad clsses the same night. I project we'll be done by 1000 pm with 3 rounds and mains with 10 minute break between heats.

To: William Willis
We will have a Touring car oval class, we run it as a 19 turn class. Several of our racers will be in this class because we have arleady established it in the past. I'm currently getting the class rules for the oval touring car class together, I'l post them probably tonight at www.cumberlandrc.com

Any others have questions? Please post them here so I can inform everyone. Thanks
Ryan

Will the track allow paragon or another equal type of tire compound?


Anchor

The traction compound is still undecided. We are actually taking a pole in the forum at http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=122983 and http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?t=84720. Post what you like to use there.
Thanks

What is the size of the track and type of carpet? Will it be a replica setup of what Maximus (http://www.teammaximus.com) has for size, carpet, and pit area? In addition, any pictures posted anywhere yet?

Anchor

To Anchor2:
The track is going to be 34.5 x 72 with CRC Fastrack Carpet. The track will be built on a wood sub floor. The setup will be similiar to maximus. The subfloor gives the best traction with ozite racing carpet. The building is up but we have not yet begun the track/pit area construction. The Carpet is ordered with a delivery date OCtober 13 2005, we are plannning to have everthing done other than carpet installation by the 13th. Once we get started I'll be posting pic here and at www.cumberlandrc.com

It's sad but true, he does drive like an old lady. He wheels a good rc though.

Geezzzz...shark.. you can just call me ryan the "wheel"

All of the construction is all on schedule so far. If everything goes without any problems we should start regular race schedule the Last week of October. I'll be getting some pictures of the progress on the club website(www.cumberlandrc.com) Oct 8th or 9th.
Thanks

ps. Hope to see you soon at Maximus

thanks Anchor...will be up to Maximus shortly

Wow!

Is that THE Racing Ralph Nason, as in former winner of the Oxford 250, that I see in the points order?

LOL,

No, same name though and he drives R/C just like the other Ralph drives full scale :):)

He missed a couple of weeks last season and probably would have finished at least 2nd..................

If you are planning any friday night or weekend races in the future could you post the dates and times because I would like to make some races but tuseday nights are hard when I live an hour away. Your track seems to becoming along well and looks pretty good from the pics on the site. I look foward to make some races there because I strated racing on a flat track in Bangor (closed) and have been to Maximus a couple times and always had a great day of racing.

Just a side note my home track Central Maine R/C speedway in fairfeild is going to be closing in a couple of weeks and if anyone of you could make it Dave (owner) would really appreciate it. It is a banked track and we race fridays starting at 7:00pm. It always a lot of fun, very fast, and a change because there are not many banked tracks around. You can get basic set up from almost any there to get you going around track.

My son and I look forward to visiting and racing at your new facility. We're good for at least 3 classes to race there, so a weekend date would work really well for us. As to Compouds, Paragon or Niftech work for us. Congrats on the new facility.

Will 3700/3800 batteries be allowed and in what classes, if not all classes?

anchor2: The owner of the facility decided on one traction compound, Corally -Jack the gripper. It will be available at the shop.

rcracer32: We'll have the racing schedule posted soon prob with in the next week.

rj31racing: Yes 3700 and 3800 batteries are allowed in all classes.

One small question I forgot to add was are you going to be putting up a drivers stand or not?

Yes of course there is going to be a drivers stand. It's being built this weekend.

We started our regular race schedule
Tuesday evenings starting at heats at 7pm: Oval
Thursday evenings starting heats at 7pm: Touring

Any oval on Fri. Sat. or Sun?

When is the schedule for race dates going to put up and are you going to post it here or on your website http://www.cumberlandrc.com/ ? Because weekends are the only good time for me to make it down there, being I live an hour away.
