Time for a new thread since we are well into 2008! Just a bit of info for racers not familiar with Victory...

Victory Hobbies hosts Dirt Oval on a high-banked indoor clay tri-oval on Tuesday nights and carpet road course and oval racing on Thursday nights. In the summer we move the dirt oval racing outside to a 235' nitro-electric clay dirt oval.

Prostar, Green Bay's long running R/C racing club operates their weekly show at Victory R/C Hobbies on Wednesday nights through the winter months.

Thanks to everyone for making our first two years in Green Bay a great success!

Just a quick note... Mr. Heft dropped off some loose 4600's today with some good looking numbers. They are going fast so if you nedd some great cells at a great price you need to stop in within the next couple days.

Thanks! Brian

Just thought I would post up and see if any of you folks would be interested in coming up to The Spring Fling In Saint Ignace MI on May 3rd
More info is on the thread and the link is in my Sig
Alot of the BRL boys will be there

Just and FYI... Saturday the doors will open at 9AM with racing starting at 4PM for this month's 'Saturday Night Special' on the clay oval. Trucks, latemodels, 18th Slider and 10th Open Mod Sprints are on tap.

We will run 3 heats and the mains. Entrance fee is $15 with $5 going into hat for the winner of each class. Bump-ups and Lucky Dog give everyone a great chance of making the big show!

See you all Saturday!

We will do the same next month... stay tuned for the date.

Thanks again! Brian

Guys I am in need of some setup help. From setup to tires. I am running on a rough clay oval track. It has a 165ft run line. And gets a water misting after each round of heats. What I am having troubles with is in the turns. I either get a push or loose condition. I just can not seem to find a close sweet spot no matter what I do. We run rubber tires because the track is to rough for foams.
I am running buggy springs cut down to give a softer ride. I have 25wt oil all around.
The shocks are all the way in on the arms and towers. Other then that its stock setup from the box.
Some advice would be helpful
Thanks

Sounds like you need to go a bit softer in the spring and shock oil. We have been softening up the sprint car suspensions using the soft Integy springs and the cars seen to respond well. Having too stiff of a set-up will make the car unforgiving when track conditions change. That's the nature of dirt oval... the track is constantly changing!

Hope this helps! Brian

Just and FYI... we are now able to make changes to the website in-house so we will be updating at least weekely if not more often. Check it often for race dates, coming events, race news and results and specials... :woohoo:

Thought I would mention that we are allowing 7.4v Lipo batteries in the 6-cell classes. (both carpet and dirt oval) Some of the guys have been using them so I thought I would clear up any questions.

Some guys like em, some don't so it's up to the racer as long as the Lipo is clearly marked as being no more than 7.4 Volts.

Also, the Lipo's must be charged in a Lipo charging bag.

Thanks! Brian

I ran the outdoor oval yesterday, turned in to a nice track.:)

I was at the shop today and the track looks like it handled the rain pretty well! I'm not sure hoow much rain we got but there was puddles around the track but only one ON the track. I think the extra clay and the drain tile Buddy installed did a good job. I'm thinking we should be able to begin our outdoor program on Tuesday June 3rd. :woohoo:

Thanks! Brian
