Let's get a race going, I know that folks from Jackson would come... for the off-road... a hand full of for on-road....

Let make a date!!!

But please let's do it on the same weekend of a Bass Pro race, since we are putting this on.... ;-)

Sounds good. We're planning a big race for onroad this year. 1st place cash pay
outs. We still need to work on our driver's stand. We have an offroad and concrete
oval crowd tomorrow. Running touring cars on the oval has been hot the last
two months. We'll keep ya'll posted. I gotta get with Mark yet too about some
onroad races.

Michael

We run concrete oval this weekend, results are on our oval thread.

Michael

Sorry about that... Let's not schedule a big race on the same date as the Bass Pro Races, because I for one would like to come to your track and run, but I can't on the dates of the Bass Pro races, because I'm runing them...

I know a number of the folks here in Jackson want to come over to your track and run... both off-road and on-road....

what class will we be looking at for the onroad? im thinking on an electric touring car in the near future. i have a 12th scale but from the looks of it, noone has those anymore.

The most popular last year was the stock TC3's and some 4's, also nitro TC's and
some Associateds. I run a stock TC3.

ok thanks, i might try to pick up a electric TC3 somewhere but i have to get my pancar straight for now lol.

Hi guys. Sorry to have lost touch with you. The Pelham gang might be back this year. I'm still running the same slow HPI nitro touring. It will be great to hear from you again. Such a nice track and nice folks, Thanks

Hey BILL, good to hear from you. Still working on motorcycles? Track has only seen
a couple of races since you last came. We had about 4+ months last year with NO
racers. Got a partial driver's stand, got dibs on another to double its size. Weather
has taken a toll.

Brent

Also our website has not been updated yet. Scroll down on the front
page www.hobbyraceway.com and you'll see it in bold red. We're
every 1st and 3rd Saturday now.

I'm still working on bikes but I'm in a position where I could sneak off at 12 a couple times a month, that would put me down there at 1 so I would have a hour to practice and I need it to keep up with you young guys. I'm 50 years old y'all need to cut me some slack. Can we get up enough nitro touring interest?

Bill, haven't had any. COOPERS still has his nitro car. That's the only I know of
right now. We can run you with the electrics though if no others show. We're
going to have a big onroad race sometime this year too.

Alright guys, let's come on out. Get them gloves and coats on and rub some paint!!

I think the Club Spec went great! Looks like it is going to be a good class.

Man what a day of racing!!!! The coldest day of the year
and we had the largest turn out!!!!! Five classes and
three tracks! Thanks for everyone's support and most of
all patience! I know our computer system is old and we
need to do some work on our loop fields, but we worked
through it. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Nice to
meet Chad and Jason. Always a pleaure to see Freddy and
Brandon return too. And thanks to our oval and onroad
guys that are always there. Here's the results:

#1 NASCAR/RALLY(concrete oval): We have a new face, Mr James took home the gold! Was loose at the beginning but got her warmed up and sticking like glue. Jeff has found
his nitch, running real consistant laps. Everyone was
trying new bodies too!
#2 CLUB SPEC TOURING CAR(onroad): New class we're trying.
Everyone run same batts, motor, and gearing. WELL, I am
not sure about Steve!LOL He took home the gold. This class was geared down, but not the racing! Fun class!
#3 1/8 SCALE BUGGY(offroad): Spencer was your man on this
one. I just couldn't keep my nerves down, maybe next time!
Brandon had some tunning problems but got her going. Man
what alot of speed in this class!
#4 MONSTER TRUCK(offroad): No stranger-Spencer again. Jeff
was kicking some serious consistant laps. Anyone that can
go from pan car oval to monster offroad, that's good in my
book. And for Jason, great racing man with that Revo. Get
that Spektrum, and you'll be trouble free!
#5 OUTLAW (Truggy offroad): Cleveland R/C Raceway's man
Freddy tore it up. Always running, stayed clean, and come
out on top. Chad had that Mayhem popping! Lake had the
Pro dialed in but flamed out. I guess my trash talking may
have give him bad luck, sorry Lake. I'll take the blame!LOL! Had fun, see ya'll next time!

Club Spec rules we are trying now:


Any chassis touring car

No more than a 2000 battery stick pack(not matched)

Trinity Spec Rebuildable Motor (21 turn)

All cars are geared close together


Right now we are running 2000nimh packs and they have good punch and plenty of run time. Running any kind of tire right now trying to find what will run best and use up some of our older ones.

Anyone with a TC3 the gear is a 75 spur and 22 pinion. Steve found us a website that we can match almost any car.


Any other questions just post. This is just getting started and trying to make it fun and less expensive for everybody.


James

I've gotta get my tc3 off the shelf and try this class.

Lake and I will be out of town this weekend. COOPERS will have the computer.
I know that there will be some oval/onroad guys there, not sure about the offroad
dudes.

That sounds good.
I'm going to try to get something together. Want to come race with ya'll without having to take out a small loan to get back into racing. This seems to be the way to go. Looking at a TC4 RTR. Is the gear ratio the same as the TC3?

Tommy B.

Tommy try to get you a TC3 more people run this and they seem to be better. Some have had the TC4 and sell and go back to the TC3.

Michael Lake

I wonder whats the difference is?

Tommy

Looked for some TC3's at that place where everyone buys stuff worldwide. LOL. Didn't find any new ones. Didn't really want a used one. Looks like it'll have to be a 4.

Tommy

Get whatever you think you need, it'll be good to see you come over and join us.
I might need a pit man for 1/8 scale too!!!LOL

I see how you are going to be Sanders, I guess that I get the boot. Thats ok, I see that I am not wanted anymore!!!

Hey lake, he just wanted me to be part of a winning effort. lol

How many do ya'll usually have for the new class and the regular tc class?

Tommy

He's a cry baby Tommy.LOL He's not thinking far enough ahead, I was just trying to
help him out that way he don't have to run the computer, call the races, and pit
my car. :p

As far as the turn out, we run it once and there were 5 I think. I
believe it'll bring in more as it catches on.

Do you run a normal class of TC's on the crete? Any stock/19T, motor/battery
Hopefully it will pick up more when it warm's up a little.

Whats up everyone, its been a while. the touring spec class sounds cool, can you be more specific on the tires and batteries

I think its the Trinity spec motor (rebuildable type)and any type 2000mah pack. Not a matched pack though.

b4wizard. You can take this for what is worth. But the TC-4 is not half the car the 3 is. they had so many changes during release and updates. the only good they did was on the strg rack. other than that they made a POC as far as im concerned. the car is designed for nothing but Bullcrap tires or they will cut shock cups slap off them if it turns just a tad. Awful bumpsteer on car you must work on that. mickey mouse way they have everything shimmed on entire car. And im a Die hard AE fan. But not on this one.

Shaggy what you been up to? Next month On the crete again.

Hello Racer 9 whatcha been up to?

Hey Slider,you feelen better.been testing a new touring oval and running some club spec.It's pretty cool to turn left and right.Should be at the track sat. Shannon

Thanks for the info. Glad you told me that.

Everyone. Im on the mend.It will be awhile before im ready to lay it down. Gurrrrrr!!!!!

Paul glad to hear that you are doing well and hope to see you back out soon when it warms up a little. Tommy I said the same thing just not in those words. Paul explanes hiself better, I just said get a TC3, lol.

what would a used tc3 be worth? Just the chassis, no tires, body or electronics. I have all the electronics. Don't want to get to much tied up in it or may have to go with something belt drive.

Tommy

b4wizard. There are usually a few in swap and sell. They can usually be picked up for a fair price.

Hello Tommy,

If you find a car, come on over and I'll lend you a spec-motor and 2000 pack.

Several of us plan to have extra motors and batteries in case someone wants give it a try without the investment (even though we are trying to keep it as inexpensive as possible.)

Brent dropped the computer off at my house this morning... James has offered to stop by and pick it up on his way over.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we are planning to run the spec-class and any other three that show up to make a class.

Thanks,

Steve

Had fun with the Club Spec today. Racer9 get that car fixed and get back out there. Looks like we will be adding a few more cars in the next few weeks. Nobody could catch Shannon today even with a rolling road block to slow him down! Hope to be back in 2 weeks.


James

yeah had fun, thanks everyone for all the help and parts, going to order some parts and try to get out there next time. maybe it will be warmer too

Jonathon???
