How about doing an oval race on Saturday March 8th?

We have talked about running on some saturdays 1 or 2 times a month.I will tell Big C there is some intrest for the first of the month.

Anyone else intrested?

Jake

Request has been put in for the 8 .

Tonight got some of our touring truck guys in to their 17.5 pan cars:thumbsup:

13.5 was fun as allways commmon

Jake:wave:

Mike,

Checked with everyone at the track last night and most everyone is "in" for a Saturday oval race on March 8th.

How's this sound for a schedule for you guys from the "East":

10 AM - Track opens
2 PM - Q1
3 PM - Q2
4 PM - Q3
5 PM - Mains

All track & BRL classes welcome.

I don't see a problem in adjusting any of these times to make it convenient for you guys to come over from your side of the State. Just let me know.

We've got a few guys running 17.5 now on a weekly basis. So bring Andrew along?

Hope to see you and several of the St. Louey guy's on the 8th.

Thanks to everyone for coming out. Good to see Dillon and Joe for their first night in 17.5. Congrat's to Joe for taking the 17.5 main and Jake for the TQ in 13.5. Big Chuck (ahem) TQ'd in 17.5 and Chuck Lite took the 13.5 main.

Big Chuck I got your PM I'm not sure if I can make it on the 8th. Making the trip to Pitts Pa. the next weekend so I don't think the Wife would like it if i was gone two weekend in a row.

The sounds good. I'll tell Drew-Bob and the guys Saturday. Schedule looks great.

Mike, we'll look for you guys on the 8th.

Jason, sorry you won't be able to make it. We'll be trying to do this one Saturday every month going forward. Hope you can make the next one.

Thanks for the Birthday BBQ guys. I think it was pretty good. My memory is getting bad in my old age.

Well back to the Senior Center to watch the race.

Just want to add my thanks to the crew from "out east" who made the trip yesterday. Had a great time. Look forward to doing it again some time soon.

I hope Chuck can help I have never heard of Skiles Ave I guess there is all ways Map Quest.My directions are like turn at the old taco bell then to the QT and past the bank well you get the gist they suck.

Jake

turn left where the old post office used to be....

or follow the paragon smell!

Thats funny, I used to work at KCAA. My first job was as a lot jockey :)
From there you'll go south on I-435, East on I-70 until you hit the Woods Chapel Road exit. Take a right on Woods Chapel (theres a stretch on that road that actually passes through a little township that is notoriously hard on speeders, so stick to the limit). Woods Chapel hits 40 Highway (which is divided) and you'll take a left and head East again for about a quarter mile before you'll see the big RC Racing banner on the right hand side. Fastlane is actually behind the buildings up front.

That's almost right, the last step should say turn left on US 40.

Cali boy TQs this week and takes the win this week.

I will wait longer next time befor sticking my nose in and getting spun out:pSee what greed gets you.

When is the next sat anyone from out of town wants to come over?

Jake:wave:

We've had some folks ask about a weekend (Saturday) race this month (April). Looking over the schedule; it doesn't look like there is a good date for this month.

We're open every Sunday in April and we'll run oval along with on road if we get at least 3 cars (except for the 13th during our Midwest On Road weekend). I suggest anyone wanting to run oval on a Sunday from out of town post here to make sure there'll be at least 3 racers show up to avoid a drive for nothing.

We'll try to organize a specific date in May for a Saturday oval race. Open to suggestions.

Thanks,

Big Chuck

TQ and win with the RIP.Chuck brought a new missle tonight and if he whould not have pulled a Bow Duke off the dot I would have had my hands full.

Thanks to the guys I club race with we have fun and that is what its all about.

Jake

JDW just got a new losi JRX-SR need some help on gearing for when i come to race--brushless gearing-pin & spure for touring-- and gearing for ovel truck with a brushed setup. THANKS TO ALL THAT CAN HELP. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:

Big Chuck will have to set you up with gearing in touring oval.and Scott is the wiz with the Losi touring .I am just a one hit wonder in 13.5 pan car.sorry not more help.

Foams that work at out track in 13.5 pan car

BSR

LF white , P white
RF black,black silver,silver
RL P white
RR white,white grey

Windtunnel

LF 2 white,white
RF black,silver
RL white
RR 2 white

TM (i think)
white on inside blacks on out side

Gearing 3.50 to 3.70 I keep mine in the 3.58 to 3.65 range.

Jake

In 13.5 I think the guys were around 112/43 in on-road (rubber tires).
For touring oval, heck, throw the smallest spur and the biggest pinion you've got at it and start there :)
Running a four cell pack you'd be looking at roughly the same rollout as the pan car guys, but probably no more than 3.50 (considering the TC weighs a lot more).

Sounds good thanks for the help.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

TTT:thumbsup:

Anyone wanting to come over and run in May?:thumbsup:

Jake

TTT :wave:

Jake

Thanks Jake for the bump.

Since the Midwest Grand Nats we've been talking about weekend oval racing. I'd like to see how much interest there'd be in a summer oval series, indoors on the carpet at Fastlane. And whether Saturday or Sunday would be best for most racers.

The schedule might look something like this:

Race 1 - May 17 or 18

Race 2 - June 7 or 8

Race 3 - June 21 or 22

Race 4 - July 19 or 20

Race 5 - Aug 2 or 3

Race 6 - Aug 16 or 17

Race 7 - Sep 6 or 7

We could run a points series, best 5 of 7 races count. BRL rules except we'd also allow Lipo batteries using the same equivalency as HobbyPlex (21.5/ lipo = 13.5 nimh; 17.5 / lipo = 10.5 nimh). There is some flexibility in these dates if there is enough interest. To be honest, I haven't checked for conflicts with Marshalltown and other outdoor tracks. But if interest is there we can find a way to work around other dates wherever possible.

Is there interest? Which day (Saturday or Sunday) is best?

Let me know.

Hope to see ya at the races......

Big ChuckSounds like fun but I would miss the first race.10 year Wedding Aniv. is the 16th so I have plans already for that weekend. I think it would be better if you did 4 out of the 7 but that's not a big deal.

Jason

Jason,

Any preference on Sat or Sun?
