any pics of the place?

http://www.allensrccars.com/Nov_20_photos.htm

The track has been updated this year with new CRC Fast Track2 carpet. As mentioned the run-line is 135' , lanes are 11' wide . Drivers stand is elevated about 6'.

On site hobby shop with a good supply of oval parts, food also available at the track.
Hotels and restaurants about 5 to 10 minutes away. Hooters about 12min. :thumbsup:

Traction Compound any Non wintergreen formula. TQ, Jack the Gripper and Niftech are popular.

Sonny: Kinda cold out to have a Cookout?!? :cool:

What are the dimensions of the track, like infield dimensions, straight length?

I'm looking for how tight the turns are.

Is the warmup race January 28th or 29th? (top post says Saturday Jan. 29th)

Hi guys I’m heading out the door for a club show at Allen’s tonight. I’ll re-measure the track dimensions and post them late tonight. I also have about 10 more entry’s to add. Keep em coming

Is allens only big enough to hold 60 racers??? Im not sure if we would hit 60 but the way it is growing now i wouldnt be surprised..

Burbs, Allens has room for 60 racers for sure. I think they had 54 entries a few weeks ago and still had pit spaces left. It might be tight with 60 people but he does have room.

Looks to be shaping up to be a pretty good race. Dang it, I might have to buy a brushless now.

davz, the track is not to tight, Sonny will post later but I would bet the infield is 10-12 ft wide. But you will want to run almost wall to wall.

If we bring our own tables will that open u any space in the main room for other racers?? I have two tables i can bring that should hold 5 from my area... or is it just a total space thing?? anyway if it will open up needed space i can arange the tables to be brought.. thanks

Thanks for the offer Burbs. It's more of a total space issue. I think the other building for overflow may work out. Should know for sure next week.

Yes SENIOR TOO!!! hes gonna be extending past his 5 mile radius of life. Put up the safer barriers and catch fences. HAHAHA

Hays Jr

Good News just talked with Allen, looks like we have room for another 30 racers. :thumbsup:

As stated before the first 60 entry’s can pit in the main building the other 30 will have to pit in the adjacent building about 20 feet away. It has heat, power, tables and chairs. (Allen’s original track was in this building a few years ago.) We also plan to run a speaker to the building to make it easy to keep up with the race action.

Talked with a lot of people in the last few days who are pretty excited about this race. It should be and awesome show. Thanks for being a part of it.

OKAY EVERYONE HAYS SENIOR IS GOING TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE SO WE HAVE TO KEEP THE DIRTY LANGUAGE TO A MINIMUM!!!! WE DON'T WANT TO OFFEND HIM!!!!!!!!:cry: :wave: RICK K.

OK Jr. you haven't been out of school that long, us old guys, like your dad, forget things.:)

Rick, not worried.

Moparfreak, no the showdown will be with Perry at the local eatery.:jest:
Bob is coming with us. :rolleyes: You Brushless???

Yes mk the perfect eating machine will be there. Do I need to spot you a rib or two? Rick don't worry about mk's mav he will have a fast one even if i have to give him my other car.

Wildman

KEVIN, I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT KELM HE'S "OLD"ER THAN BOTH OF US AND HE FORGETS STUFF, JUST TURN OUT THE LIGHTS!!!!!!!! ISN'T THAT RIGHT PHIL?? :D :wave:

RICK

Sonny, You're going to let Sully in? LOL

This may be the largest single class event ever, with some of the best drivers in the Midwest, I agree with MK, it may be worth the entry fee just to watch.

Any guesses as to who will win???????????????????????

There are several former national champions in the field.

Hey Sonny.. i put all the info and class counts on rc tech to.. you never know it may be seen by other people there..
