I can't believe how popular 1/12th seems right now. I hope to make it to INdy and check their track out sometime too. Week nights would be tough with work and being 1.5 hours away though.

would make a great velo car with batteries down the middle and if it had side shocks instead of tube's, but that can be changed pretty easy.

Do you guys run anything on Saturday nights or afternoon? I have to catch an early flight out on Sunday morning so I will be in Indy Saturday afternoon. Though I would try to stop by and see the place and meet some of you guys if it is open.

Thanks,

Well right now there isnt anything running saturday mornings...However the track is setup and at around 5:00 they run indoor offroad for 1/18th scale...You could atleast see the place its very nice and well kept....The reason for 1/12th on wens is some of the guys have odd work schedules....I am planning a trip down to Linton in the near future probably next week it would be awesome if we could setup some kind of series or something like that so we could enjoy both tracks but with the distance it would be rather difficult and I wouldnt want to take away from lintons buisness because the only reasonable day for you guys would probably be sat. mornings unfortunately cause Indy slots runs oval on sunday's and you guys wouldnt want to come on wens. with the drive I wouldnt think....When will you be back from your trip? That way I could plan to try and come down with a few guys hopefully, So we could meet then.....Have a safe trip:wave:

I leave Sunday and won't be back until the next Sunday. A series would be great. They are getting ready to run a big offroad series with about 4 tracks around the state. It would be cool if you guys could come down then we could get a group to go up there. I am going to try to stop in Saturday and see the place.

Sliders run on Thursday nights at 7pm (doors open @ 5pm) and also on Sunday @ 1pm (doors open @ 11am).

Basically there are three classes:

Over 4 seconds/lap (these guys are mostly stock). This is the largest class.
Modified - nearly anything goes. Just need to keep the basic body the same. (pretty much all brushless).
Late Model Bodies - Same as modified but with the late model bodies.

I assume when the new Losi Late Model 1/18 comes out that it will be a stock class.

Also, a few of us are trying to get a 1/12 NASCAR body oval class running on Thursday and Sunday.

Simple rules so far:
1/12 scale pan car - any chassis
4-cell NiMh
Any motor.

Practicing last night, a 13.5 car was beating a 10.5 car in lap times. The 10.5 was just too fast for the small track.

No one has been showing up...I think mostly due to the track setup being very tight....

The track is definately perfect for 1/12th on road though. i have enjoyed the times i have been up there to run.

Jerri, you ever want to run 1/18th, I got an Xray just sitting around. Stock and a mod motor. Not sure how good the tires are and needs batteries. Feel free to borrow it indefinitely.

watz up there Nickster..thanks for the invite but the 1/18th they were running were with the huge tires on it.. like offroad type, so don't think that would work, but if something changes.. I will take you up on that!!! Thanks!!

hey moss, i think they run touring car adapters and run tc tires on them. I had a set for my 1/18th scale when i was running it.

Do they run 1/18th scale bodies on them? Doesn't that look a little weird?

CClay1282
03-23-2008, 10:14 PM
Yeah, it looks weird but you have so much better variety of tc foams than they do for the 1/18th.

This sounds like a really fun class. I will build one up, but will only be able to race occasionally. Friday nights are really bad for me except in the spring and summer.

I guess I won't get rid of my TC5 now.

As soon as I posted the reply, I ordered an HPI Barracuda and the tires I will need. I can hardly wait to see how it looks. If I don't get to race it, it will look really cool on my shelf.

He Carpet Racer. Are you running the B44 in any of the state races at Linton or anywhere?
