We have our big carpet race coming up next month at Minnreg. Race #2 of the FCC - Florida Carpet Cup. Almost 100 entries last January at the race. This one ought to be awesome. Racing inside with AC, tables and chairs provided, great food, tons of room for trailers and more. Hopefully some out of state guys can come and run with the tough competition Florida has to offer. Practice Saturday night. Racing starts Sunday 9am. CYA here!!

mike

are you up for some 1/12 racing on saturday?

Actually I am thinking about it Mike! I want to get a car. If not I am going to use Mike Bean's again. I got spanked last time and want to at least make the A-main. Actually had fun doing that...

Mike,

I am toying with the idea of running oval on Sunday but I haven't done the LTO thing in ages. I take it that all 19 turn classes including Sportsman must use the Ultrabird, is that right?

Rick Smith

Hi Rick. Good to see ya on here!! Yea we have on the rules Ultrabirds only. I can hook you up if you want to race so see me Saturday or when you get there - no problem at all!!

I bet we have alot more in the 4300/10.5 class.

I know of about 4-5 more people who now own a brushless set up. Including me!

I think I can make the A.....????

I am pumped about the Carpet race. Gots a new solid chassis car.....gots some new batterys. Gots lots of confidence. Still gots bad spelling.

Yuu Cpel Gud Maan Wat Yo Tawlking bouyt!.

Cool!!! Thanks Mike. I'll take you up on that offer! :thumbsup: I took Friday off work to practice so see you then!

Doors open around 5ish Friday. We can't get in before then. You still got your 17 body? I remember that one from Thunder.

You still got your 17 body? I remember that one from Thunder.

No, I'm starting over with oval. Looking for a good used newer roller to get back into it. There is alot of new cars to choose from. I'm leaning towards Hyperdrive's Pro 3 slider for parts availability and lots of support here on Hobby Talk. But I'm open to suggestions! :p

We have a few guys at our local track racing them and love them. Are you still in Tampa? We race Sundays and have a great time!

www.rcthunder.net (http://www.rcthunder.net)

Yup, New Port Richey. Thanks for the link. MTR races every Sunday? Looking forward to Minnreg and getting up to date on the local racing.

Sign me up Mike
19T sportsman
4300 brushless

Rick you can never go wrong with a Custom Works Aggressor

Thanks for the input Dave. The Aggressor is on my shortlist as well.

Yes you can't go wrong with that car! Lots of guys have awesome runs with it on carpet and MTR> which will be good to get a good setup for Sundays.

There is no where else to be in 3 weeks! I am hoping we get 100 oval cars. It is looking good for that!

A/C, racing and beer trackside? Yep! I'll try to make it also, Plus I have to talk to Mikey about that hidden signed contract he says he has with me. :freak:

If you come - I will buy the beer! In fact we have the fridge in the kitchen. So no reason not to now! ;)

Also we are reducing the 2nd entry to only 10 bucks. So 30 for 1st, 10 for all others.

Put the savings in GAS can come race!!!!!
