has Lazer been repaved? The rumormill has been floating arround that it has been.

Rumor mill? ;) Yes, we had a new top coat put on at the end of last season.

Have you and Russ ever thought about ditching the boards and using this www.roaddome.com instead? It would certainly be a lot easier on the cars than boards. Only concern would then be someone hitting a corner dot dead on in mod TC and launching into a marshal's head. It would look really cool though!

not my business.. but road dome is HORRIBLE.

The way Lazer has there boards they are already nice and forgiving and Russ makes some killer layouts with them. There have been a few tracks that have had road dome and it was almost the end of the track until they changed to normal boards. All the road dome does is launch cars into the air...not a good thing. Just my 2 cents on what I have seen.

I'm sorry but seeing a TC hit a marshal's head is not very cool. I've seen accidents happen with r/c cars and as much as they are toys they can still do some serious damage.

Road Rails/Domes, not good............... my $0.02

We had the system at screwz for a while, all it did was launch you into oncoming traffic in the next lane...head on! WAY MORE DAMAGE!

Tony. As the others said Road Dome looks cool if Matt Francis or Kinwald are running on it, But not for club racing. Road dome is used primarily for tracks that are not permanet so they can be set up and torn down with ease.

A lot of thought have gone into the design of the boards we use. The set up we currently use alows for smooth turns and a nice flowing track layout. With the flexability to change the track layout and not have to buy new boards. Most 2x4 track layouts have 90deg corners and hard corners ours does not. The end of the boards that hang out have "flappers" on them they alow you to come close to the end of the board and give you a warning if you are cutting it close, with out breaking stuff. The boards are also weighted not attached to the ground so they are foregiving a little when they are hit.

One change everyone will like is the boards are gonna be white this year. On the new Black surface the old timers will love it. (sorry Ken :cool: )

Hmmmm, maybe I will try and make it out a little more often this year. Hi Leslie :wave:

White boards...YES!

Another couple of weeks and we can start up the F1 thread again. Dibs on Midland...

Going for the bottom of the barrel again...I do believe it will be a tough fight for the celler between Tora Rorsa (ummm ok Red Bull 2) and Midland. I think Super Aguri F1 with the 02 Arrows chassis well beat them.


That is awsome about the white boards. The place is going to look totally brand new.

The Super Aguri will be slowest of the slow until the new car is out...

I personally think the new McLaren 'Chrome' paint is the cats meow. I call dibs! Rumor is that it cost McLaren a small fortune to paint the cars like that.

Oh yeah, Hi Russ, Hi Leslie. Haven't run into you guys in awhile! Can't wait for warm weather, I can almost smell them dogs now!

OK! white boards, black track, yellow car...... anybody see a transmitter?

Hi Dish, Randy & all you guys! Spring is just around the corner...;)

Huh??? :confused:

Punk... I think it has to do something with loosing your memory as you get older. I could be wrong.

Ken,

Silver Transmitter it sparkles in the sun.

I'll reflect on that, maybe a glimmer of hope

Here's the first post of the thread...

Yea, what Fred said...plus we race every Sunday except July 2, weather permitting.



When is the first race?

im tired of waiting its supposed to be like 50 this weekend LETS RACE

Hey everyone, good to see a Lazer thread on here. To DISH and FredB, are we going to make this or RCXXX the official home of Lazer F1 banter? And is there going to be a Lazer F1 this year? The dialog seems scarce at best so far, or am I jumping the gun? Also how many nitro drivers will there be this year? I am planning on doing nitro again this year, but I want to have more than 1 or 2 people to race with. :wave:

I am starting to get a little ichy for some outdoor racing. I think maybe I will definately make it out to Lazer more this year. Set up the canopy, sit back, eat some hot dogs and maybe make a few laps.

We hope you will Randy :)

RCxxx is a banned site at work so you won't see me there. It's probably best to start a thread on here so I'll do that after my morning meetings.

I will be running more nitro this year and there may even be a new car in the works...

We are happy to announce that starting this season you will be able to use your personal transponders here at Lazer !! We also have a Spektrum telemetry lap timing trigger that goes down on the track

:thumbsup: We will also have 20 red house transponders, if you don't have a personal you are hooked up.

Anybody that is coming to the April 30 race know anything about ALYCAT software? :confused:

I believe Rich Chang is the expert with that program....Brokeback where you at?

Wow... Outdoor Onroad time already...
Not sure If I am going to be able to run the point series this year.. But I will come out and have some fun.
My son bought a house that needs a LOT of work...
I have been there 7 days a week since we stopped racing at Washtenaw.

Well Dan, you've got a month to get it all finished up so you can run the points series.. :D Hurry up!

I am definitely looking forward to hackin T-Bone around a LOT this summer.

Hurry up and get it done so you can play :)

Will there be any interest in running 1/12 scale on that new surface? Just wondering because it could be a nice class at Lazer with the condition of the new surface. Any thoughts/interests?

I would be up for some 12th scale.

bump to the top just because its LAZER

Notice:
If your going to be racing with us & have a personal transponder, you could PM or email us your number, frequency, ability & classes you will be running. It will make it easier for me on race day :thumbsup:

6 days until opening day !!! It had better not rain!!!

6 days until opening day !!! It had better not rain!!!
I'm with you on that.

I just looked at weather.com........50 % chance of rain sunday :cry: But that also means 50% chance of a nice day :)

Well, that's a good sign. It was 60% earlier. Hopefully it keeps going down and we end up with a 72 degree and sunny day for the season opener.

C'mon, it's Michigan, the weather's easy to predict here! The weatherman just said there's a 100% chance of weather for Sunday.

Well it is looking like the high temp for the day is going to be between 59 and 65 degrees, with windchill of about 55 degrees. If you go by temperature alone means that only T.O. 22's will work or other brand like Sorex for low temps. It will be windy that day, so expect the track to be dusty and/or with debris from the jungle that Russ has around the track. It says 60% chance of showers in one website and 30% chance in another, but at the end that means nothing until 2 to 4 hours prior to start racing here in Michigan.

Opening day is always iffy in this state but we can hope for the best. The new surface is working very well even when it's cold.

Russ...did you re-pave or re-seal the track?

Randy

Re-seal
