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?

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.

Lets run some Novak Velociti 5.5 4-cell thats alot more fun !

racknok

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.

davz
01-03-2006, 02:28 PM
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.........

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.

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.

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.
