Hi Guys,

All is shaping up well for the New Year Dash carpet oval event at CRC Raceway in Rome, NY. We are expecting another great turnout of the finest oval racers in the Northeast. Yes, this is the 12th year of this Championship.

Classes: (ALL 4 cell)

1/10th 13.5 Brushless
1/10th Stock - 27 turn Brushed
1:12th 19 turn
1:12th Stock
Truck-Suspension - 4 cell 27 turn stock
Losi Sliders - Box stock, kit battery

A very affordable "low dough" show. Only $15 for the first class, $10 for additional classes. If you run the club race Friday, save $5 on your first entry.

Pete D'Agnolo has confirmed he will be here. I would expect to see oval guru's Stevie "Rocket" Miller, Tom Postalwait and Steve Pemberton. In addition to these oval champions, look for road course wizard Jeff Dayger to try his hand on the oval. Should be another classic battle on the oval at CRC Raceway.

The list of former champions of this race is a who's who of oval racing, Mike Murphy, Todd Putnam, Pete D'Agnolo, Steve Miller and Brian Ziegler, to name a few.

For those who want a bit of testing, we will have a club race Friday night, December 28th. On Friday, doors open at 4 PM with racing starting at 7:30 AM.

Check out www.crcraceway.com or call 315-339-6050 for more information.

C-ya there.

I think at least 4 of us plan on going for 13.5 from here.
What is the runline of the track? What's the battery rule?

Info and race flyer / entry form now posted on the website.

Just to be sure., are the Ener-g 4600's legal?

Thanks for coming, should be another good time. Spread the word.

Thanks,

Notice to all the 10th scale guys coming to the Dash:

The minimum weight for 10th scale cars will be heavier than the 39 oz. posted on the flyer. We have kind of been waiting for Snowbird's to post their minimum weights on the website, but they are still not up yet.

It has been brought to our attention that ROAR weight is 41 oz.

We are not necessarily going to 41, but it will be increased.

We will let you know what the exact minimum will be within the next day or 2.


John

Minimum weight for 4 cell 10th scale pan cars will be 40 oz. at the Dash.

Flyer/Entry Form has been updated.

Also, there was a weight change for 4 cell truck.

Steve.

We will be using Snowbird's wing rules, so they will be allowed in 13.5 BL.

CRC Raceway...

Eric(tried to PM...but no options for it!)

John

Eric

Eric I have one of those if you want.

Eric

Eric...we'll put a mirror next to Steve and it will look like you both are there!

Steve Salvas.... Are you running the GTB or the Tekin? in brushless 13.5???

I am in for 13.5 See you Saturday morning. You can add Mike McDermott to 13.5 he is tagging along with us.

Good luck to you guys that are going to New York........

If it is allowed to I might run the Tekin in one of the qualifiers (they need to be staggered starts though since the test unit I have needs a push to start rolling). I'll run the orange stuff in the other qualifiers and the main.

Steve.
team Tekin

Cool Steve, See you there!

Qualifiers are staggered / ifmar starts. It's a "heads up" start, but everyone's on their own clock once they cross the loop.

John

John...any 17.5 in stock...would need one...

eric

John...any 17.5 in stock...would need one...

eric

Hi Eric,

Yes, we have 17.5 Novak brushless motors in stock. For 1:12th scale 4 cell, we find these run side by side with a good brushed 27 turn.

Thanks,
Frank

We ran our club race tonight, grip is up and a good bunch of racers had a decent night of racing and testing.

Remember, for those travelling in, we do not have the pit space to spread out with 1 racer per table. If the turnout is decent as expected (like last year), we need to get 5 bodies per 2 tables.

Also, we have a decent amount of chairs and power strips, but what is put out is all we have. Don't be afraid to throw a chair and power strip in the car just in case.

Also, please put your transponder high in your car (off the chassis). We have a raised bridge and transponders on the chassis work inconsistantly, please get em up off the chassis.

For food, we have Barbi-Q's food wagon showing up around 10:30 AM. Barbi has great food and will be park outside the door for your dining pleasure. We expect her to stay until about 4 PM or so, stay tuned for announcements during the day.

Remember, this is a low-dough show for fun. We have been running the race for 12 years now and in general, things go real well and all have a good time. Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. If all goes well, you will be on the road home by 6 - 7 PM.

Thanks!

Good Luck to all those racing 2maro. Try to keep updated with results. We look forward to seeing some of you next week in CT at the 19th annual WINTERBLAST.

We may try to broadcast live on www.liverc.com. We have not used the live broadcast in a while, so I am not sure it will all go together.

I just made it home.

I had a great time!

Nice track layout/surface and great people.

I'll be back.

Steve.

Another New Year's Dash is in the books!

Frank and crew:
It looked like everyone in the house had a great time. CRC always creates a friendly atmosphere. Thanks for putting on this awesome "low dough show"...there aren't too many of these anymore.

Congrat's to ALL of the winners and to Rhode Island resident Mike McDermott for winning 13.5...I'm sure it made his ride home easier!

Thanks to my buddies from New England for coming to New York and supporting one of our tracks and to Steve Salvas for making the trek. Hope to see you all soon.

I also had a great time, Frank Thanks for putting on a great show. Jason Nick and Steve Salvas great 97 lap runs, both your cars were on rails! I will be back for sure next time around.

Thanks to Tommy Gun and Steve Salvas for the tires, Soooooooo left them on my kitchen table when I left the house!

Congrats to Mike McDermott for his win.... he snoored the WHOLE way home ;)

The track was alot of fun with plenty of bite. Special thanks to tommygun and jason for everything. I really couldn't have done it without you guys. Maybe i will stumble upon a module for my radio so i can race again someday. I think Steve Hanson was sandbaggin a little bit? haha good to see alot of guys i havent seen in a while.

Had a great time this sat. You guys have a great facility and a great bunch of racers. Will be back again for sure.

Dick J

Sounds like everyone had a great time. The CRC crew always puts on a good race-one that I surely miss going to.
Maybe when the kid gets a little older, we can start making the trek back to CRC... :thumbsup:

Hi gang,

Thank you all for the nice words and thanks for coming out to our event each year. It is a pleasure trying to put on a good race for a great group of racers that we have been getting over the years.

You guys were very patient during our computer glitch. We apologize for the delay and we will certainly have it fixed for our next event.

Just a classy group of racers, thanks again.

Look for our 13th Annual New Year Dash on Saturday December 27th, 2008.

Regards,
Frank

Thanks again to everyone who came out this past weekend.

YOU GUYS are what make an awesome event. We simply provide a track for you to put on a show.

I can't wait til next year already.
