Z-Main Loser 10-24-2005, 04:43 PM So to make this clear, points for oval is only on the 3rd saturday and doesn't include the 1st sunday? I'm taking it that the 1st sunday is for RC. The first oval points race will be Nov. 19th?
JonHobbies 10-24-2005, 05:19 PM The third saturday of every month is for the oval point series the first one is on the 19th november.
The first sunday of every month is for the road course point series starting november 6th.
Thanks for the question.
hankster 10-25-2005, 12:11 PM Does anyone have any information on what 1/18th scale is being run and what the rules are for 18th scale?
JonHobbies 11-02-2005, 11:03 AM Does anyone have any information on what 1/18th scale is being run and what the rules are for 18th scale?
We have run 1/18 scale class on oval and road course most of them have been running the brushless motor systems. We are pretty layed back with the rules for that class they just want to have fun !
Thanks for the question.

I would like to thank everyone for comming out to our track and racing oval. We are getting busyer every week thanks.
racknok 11-25-2005, 08:02 AM Looks like there will be about 6 of us coming this Saturday to run 4 cell 4300 Brussless. Maybe more.
racknok 11-27-2005, 07:12 AM I second that. Nice track, lots of parts, great facility and you run a good show. We will be back.
I also had a great time yesterday. You guys got a nice setup there.
JonHobbies 11-28-2005, 12:03 PM Thanks guys for comming out and showing me what oval,s all about. I had a great time hope you did to. I will be changing the way the ends of the oval corners are set up for the next race for a test. Hope to see you all there.

What are you thinkin' for the corners? Alot of tracks are using that ice stuff. Not sure what it's called but it works really good.
JonHobbies 12-13-2005, 12:01 PM Just wanted to let everybody know there will be no racing on December 24-25 & December 31 January 1 2006 Happy New Year's !!!!! Dont drink to much !
JonHobbies 12-19-2005, 12:45 PM The track & Hobby Shop will be opened for road course practice december 24 & 31 10:00 AM-1:30 PM
racknok 01-01-2006, 05:06 PM Are you having an oval race this coming Saturday 1/7/06? If so what time do you open the doors and what time does the racing start?
JonHobbies 01-01-2006, 11:38 PM Are you having an oval race this coming Saturday 1/7/06? If so what time do you open the doors and what time does the racing start?
Yes, Doors open at 10:00 racing starts at 12:00.
Keith is that where your goin'? What we running? 4300?
Z-Main Loser 01-02-2006, 11:25 PM There are a few of us coming up from the Elkhart track to race on the 7th. We'll have 5800s though.
I've got both 4300 and 5800. I'll run both - how bout it Kieth, Mike , Jamie, Greg, Ray, JonR, Mark, John S., Mel, -- I'm planning on going Saturday.
Darn, that means I have to work on the 5800 car.
JonHobbies 01-03-2006, 01:08 PM Lets run some Novak Velociti 5.5 4-cell thats alot more fun !
racknok 01-03-2006, 01:38 PM How many of the 5.5 have you got for sell? Guys after last week one class is all I want to run. 5800 would be my first choice. There sounds like there will be enough for 4300 and 5800.
I guess my first choice would be 4300 ( I can't believe that I just typed that ), but I'll run both 4300 and 5800 if there's enough.
As for the 5.5, I havent been to your track yet, but I would be willing to try it MAYBE. I haven't got my car dialed yet, so I don't know.........
MKingsley 01-03-2006, 02:45 PM I will run whatever brushless class has the most entries 5800 or 4300 - I don't care which one. Please don't have brushless be an open class though - getting run over by a car with a 5.5 in it is just not cool. The track is way!!!!! too small for the 5.5.......

If our track was to small for the novak 5.5 I wouldnt run it. Three make a class.

At this time we have four to sell there going fast.
5800 sounds good to me. I think just one class for me though.
Hey Kieth do you got any of those transponders left? If so i'll get one from you on Saturday.
mbeach2k 01-03-2006, 10:15 PM i'm going, 4300 for me
racknok 01-04-2006, 07:37 AM JonR I still have two for sell.
Here's a suggested track layout I was hoping you would consider. It's the same layout as the big brushless race in Ill. Feb 25th. If you make this layout, there's at least a few of us that would come every week.
Wow, it didn't come out very good. The corners are the "ice" ( I believe it's called masonite ) and it's 50' from end to end. The corners are a half round 13' 6" wide. the track is 36' wide. with 11' lanes. I'll bring a printout Sat.
mbeach2k 01-05-2006, 12:08 AM ya, john bougt some of the masonite and took it down to them a few weeks ago
