Racing every Saturday night, practice 3:00 pm, racing 6:30 pm. 1/12th scale only. Small, flat 80' centerline flat oval. Kind of like flying jet fighters in a gymnasium. 5 minute heats, 2 rounds, 100-150 lap mains. Very casual atmosphere. Good, clean fun. Track and shop have been around about 10 years. Located in New Milford, CT. 860-354-4703. Jay Brolet, owner. Runs x-rays on road course also. Huge off-road and nice dirt oval outdoors. Pics available on request.

Is everyone running purpose-built 1/12-scale oval chassis or regular on-road chassis with oval bodies?

I race there weekly. Everyone has slowly switched to oval chassis except 1 or 2 people.

This is Stock? What are some set-up tips for a L3? Rollout, tires, front end settings, Springs, Shock oil, ETC, ETC, ETC!!!!

Is there a Website with directions? Or just phone number!

I'll try it out.

www.xrcracing.com. Set-up for L3 might be purple fronts, pink / grey / white / platinum rears. .020 on LF, .018 on RF, -1 cmaber RF, +1 camber LF, 2 degrees caster both. Soft center spring, lighter oil (little bumpy). Most cars run side damper tubes. Stock motors only. Rollout 1.45 - 1.65 depending on motor. The key to the kingdom at Xtreme is to get off the corner straight and on the throttle early.

Allright, I'll work on changing my set-up. Chances are I'll see you guys in a couple weeks. After the first race of the N.E.O.T this weekend.

The track is a bull ring, but you won't have more fun racing anywhere. There a great bunch of guys. I might even have to come down to play sometime soon.

1/12 scale is what I'm looking to race. I got a car for the winterblast, practiced, practiced,practiced. Not enough showed to run the class. So I'm ready to get the 1/12 in a race.

He will run any class if at least three show up. I think SK's are awesome. They used to run al lot of Legends there until Bolink fell apart.

Thanks to the guys who stopped by K/N last weekend. Its great to build up the 12th scale class in CT. I know some guys who might be interested. I'll let them know and try to bring them down.
