Cory,

Dale

Is it ok to run rubber tires on the rear end with the buggys. I don't think that they make foam rear buggy tires.

Cory,

Why are you stressing "we"? As mild as the weather has been this winter, YOU ( j/k ) guys might want to consider grabbin' shovels early?

There's gioing to be an oval warm-up race this friday at summit so no stadium racing this week.

so any word on when things will be kicking off this season?

track work days or anything?

Tracey, I guess they want to have the first race the last Saturday of April.Nick's working on getting the bobcat there. April 21 is the day for the track build, but I would like to think the week prior to that we could start. But you know what happens when you think!

Cory Richardson

ROAR region 5 regionals at summit this summer.sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Dale

Chris

I have heard this rumor or truth. BARRON whats up?

Sup guys, cant wait for the outdoor season to start.

John

Chris

The region 5 race is going to be at summit for sure Dale said,but no date yet.The track rebuid will be on April 22 with the first race the following weekend.

Cory Richardson

isaac wappes

dale, is there going to be a mini racing class this summer?
isaac wappes If you want to run that mini on our track bring it on. I've seen those things with brushless motors in them run as fast as any truck or buggy out there.

When does racing start? How the hell is people suppose to show and race if they are not informed? I had at least 10 people in Indy lastnight asking me.

Cory Richardson

Cory when is the track opening.

Probably still too much carpet racing going on to worry about outdoor off-road. I have practiced on the track in Wabash and recieved plenty of emails from rc world.
How was Indy? I would have liked to go but had Easter at the parents going on.

Jon,
There is not that much carpet racing going on that a person don't have time to put something on the forums. It starts in two weeks!

Cory Richardson

Offroad racing starts Saturday April 29 at noon. Racing every Saturday throughout the Summer.
The previously announced Three Rivers Festival offroad race scheduled for July 15th, will now be the ROAR Region 5 Offroad Championship. The ROAR Region 5 race will be a Friday July 14 practice, with qualifiers and mains on Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th.
This is electric only.
We will keep you posted on more details as they are available.

Dale

The forecast for Friday and Saturday is for thunderstorms. Is their a back up plan for the track rebiuld. Just woundring I am trying to keep some time open to help and we are running out of time the 29th is coming fast.

Chirs

Cory Richardson

Cory, I knew there wasn't much carpet going on just from the results posted. I was just trying to stir something up.

Someone needs to get things going it's not going to start on it's own.

1...2...3...START!! Haha.

Austin

Rain or no rain somehow it will get done and be ready by the 29th.

What do most run for 2wd buggy, Stock or Mod. Will brushless be allowed
in Mod ?

There will both,but more mod than stock I would think. You can run brushless in mod I think.

Cory

You have a PM.

Chris

Chris,
P.M. back at ya

Cory

Back to you.

Chris

Chris,
You going to come out Saturday for the track build? If we get it done we are going to get together sunday to do a little practice.

Cory Richardson

Cory

Yes thats sound good I work Saturday until 2:00 I plan on coming out from work I should be there about 2:15-2:30.

Chris

I am from Columbus and am going to try to come out there for the regionals. Where can I find more info on the track. Like pics, vids, tires, scedule, location, ect.

Thanks.

The website for the track is at summitrcraceway.com (http://summitrcraceway.com) . The pictures of the offroad track are of an older layout, but the layout changes a couple times a year anyway. There are not a lot of pictures up of the offroad track, but some general information on location, hotels, etc. can be found there. The website is due for an upgrade to make it more helpful for such things and to get current info and news up on it faster. I just talked tonight with someone willing to put more expertise into it, so hopefully in the near future you should see some new and exciting things. This is something that people have been suggesting for a while now, and I have to say I'm the one that has been dragging his feet on it.

Cory,

I should be available all this weekend for track rebuild.

What tire additive would you recommend, I have a Subaru with a big wing and CS 27's and a 9 turn single? I want to be able to clear the big double!

Ride height could be an issue
