Closest city is Coldwater. About 7 miles away. There are a number of hotels there.

Find the flyer for the 2006 MARS Litchfield race.

Thanks a lot Hank that helps a lot.. Could I get some more info on the Litchfield track? do they have a web site?.. I guess the main thing I need to know, is what type of track is it? tires? thanks

So what's this crap of "If qualifying is done by 4:00 pm then mains for ALL participants"? You mean to tell me if you don't have the qualifying done by 4:00 not every one is going to have a main? If I drove all that way and spent my hard earned cash....there had better be mains...FOR EVERYBODY. I was thinking of running this series this year.......not now!

settle down...... if the 3rd round doesn't start by 4 PM then there will be no 3rd round of qualifing, they will go right into the mains....

It is generally a loomy black dirt type track. Most everyone runs step pin rears and edge fronts. In rare occasions, if the track really dries out you can try a "mini pin" type tire but at that time of the year the track seldom dries out that much.

AAAHHHHHHH! Sorry my bad.

Coldwater has a few different hotels. You could also stay in Hillsdale, that has a Days Inn. Hillsdale is actually closer than Coldwater(although Coldwater is a bigger town, and has easier access off of I-69)

Whats with the rule changes??? After the MARS meeting, Nick posts that brushless are allowed in the modified classes, and for 18th scale, we can use any battery. Now I see that brushless are not allowed in the mod classes, and 18th scale is limited to 6 cells.

brushless in mod was allowed last year, and this year to!!!!!,

Brushless was allowed last year in mod clesses, but the flyer says no brushless.
I will call Kenney tomorrow and get the reasoning for this and maybe clarify a couple other items that are being twisted.

that is a old flyer! dont sweat the dumb sh## it even has the old non existint web site. brushless is allowed. if you need to know whats allowed, pick up a ROAR book, they follow that

Thats IS the new flyer they sent me... notice it says 2006 across the top and includes the 18th scale class. While they do generally follow ROAR rules there is no requirement that the classes that are run conform to any ROAR class spec.

looks like MARS is off to another wonderful fun filled season

oldschool homie, you ain't kidding.
I tried calling Kenny a couple times to get some straight answers and couldn't get through.

**** Note *****

Brushless is LEGAL in all MARS modified classes as per the ROAR Rule book.

I have contacted both Bruce and Ken. Ken has asked I post this notice that there was a error in the posted flyer and new ones will be sent out.

Hank, Ken will be sending you an update.

Thanks a lot hank :D I should be able to make it out to this race if all goes as pland.. See ya there! :thumbsup:

Wow, the officials make a simple mistake and you guys just unload on them before they can even make things right. Nice. And everyone wonders why there's so much tension between the officials and racers. It is a two way street guys. Maybe we could try being civilized and working things out before we just go off.

There have been huge changes on MARS over the last couple of years. It's far from perfect but things won't change if the racers don't talk to the officials at the races (like adults) and actually drop suggestions in the box at the banquet.

deleted.... time wasted.

your my hero fish, way to go, season is fixed now, thanks for going through the trouble for us post bitches :wave:

thanks fish you are a god

A-MEN Brother

Does anyone know if only the Novak 5800 brushless will be allowed like
last year ? or is it any Roar Legal Brushless system.

All ROAR legal brushless are allowed. So all the Novak systems, as well as the LRP/Reedy system. I'm not sure if any other systems conform to the ROAR spec.

People are asking me If the LI-Poly batteries are legal at the MARS races in the mod races? Just a question. Thanks to all who might reply...

NiCd and NiMh only per ROAR rules.

Will the layout be different from last year?

what would be a good gear ratio for stock buggy a this race track. I run the xxx buggy.

Thanks Scott

anyone hear from Brayden Chad and or Kyle to see if those clowns are going i know that a whole bunch of guys from my side of the state are gunna be there

Does anyone know if Brayden, Chad and Kyle will be there? I was just wondering also there are alot of guys from the east side of the state coming.

IT'S SOUTH OF VICKSBURG AND WEST OF LITCHFIELD. :dude:


lol thanks... :confused:

Mike,
Brayden, Boatman, Jake and Chad will be at Litchfield

The Jones track is close to M40 raceway.

I was also wondering, what class get's more entrys? Stock or Mod?

Stock gets more enteries

I was wondering will there be trophies at the litchfield race may 20th.

Thanks Scott :)

plaques for top 3 in each main

I was wondering what would be a good gear ratio to run in the stock buggy class Iam running the xxx brian kinwald buggy, also what tires and springs to run because this will be my first time at the litchfield track.

Stock Buggy - Try A 22 Tooth Pinion To Start.... Step Pins All The Way, Most People Use Proline But I Like The Losi Ones. Use The Stock Spring Setup..... Pink Rear Springs And Green Fronts. If That Doesnt Work Then Get A B4. I Did

Thanks for your help greatly apperciated :wave:

Speaking of a b4, I will have a factory team b4 for sale at the race.

Hom much for the b4

I was thinking of 125. My daughter won the car last year at the lansing mars race. It has been raced twice at laporte IN. and practiced with very little. I have some extra tires, trinity front pivot block,motor plate, and some other little stuff. I like losi cars and the racing just wasn't her thing.
