Track is 40x80, pits for 30 going to 40, vending, stands, 36 inch drivers stand and Hobbystore. We have had some good compliments but the only way we are going to get better is hearing it from you!

What are your rules on brushless motors and lipo batteries?

We do allow you to run brushless and lipo combinations but will have restricitions for different classes depending upon the race.

Where is Boardman? Just wandering where the location of the track is. Not sure what area that is. Thanks.

Give them a call 330-629-9433 Track should be open till 10 pm.

Finalizing the date of the oval opening race, Will most likely be the 17th of May. We didn't want to put too much on one weekend. Stay tuned

There will be a road course set up Tuesday the 8th. Bring your 1/12th scales out and blow out the cobwebs. I believe racing starts at 6:00

Ok, Quick note to let you 13.5 guys know that we will run the class!
I am not sure how your run the bodies, so the class will be 13.5 brushless w/4600 batts. We will be adding an EDM class and will only run the 1/12 in stock class.

The 1/18's will have a stock and open Class.
We need 4 or more stock sliders to run the class, so please let me know if you are planning to run this class

New Flyer will be posted tomorrow. For more info or directions just email me.
Thanks Again!

Rules most tracks are following.
Stock class>> 1/18th BRP cars only SC18 / SC18 V2, SC18V2M. 4 cell 2/3 A cells. We will be running stock car bodies this summer
season , the rear must not be cut higher that the lower portion of rear bumper, NO holes or vents allowed in rear. Rear spoiler may be
added max 1 1/4 “ tall from rear trunk deck. Ball bearings in fronts only, BRP wheels only, Associated #21210 motor there will be a Max
pinion size of 10 tooth and a Min spur gear size of 45 tooth We will also enforce a $15.00 claiming rule for this class on motors. After a
run, anyone in the stock class may claim a motor from the stock class(first come first served must go thru Bud) after paying $15.00 to the racer that is running the motor. It will be pulled at that time and given to the person claiming it.

Super stock > 4 Cell 2/3 A cells with the 370 motor ONLY the Associated #21210 super 370 will be allowed. This motor has a flat
on the shaft so We will be able to tell!! Bud will have some or You can purchase at any hobby shop. Motor claim will be $15.00. Same rules as stock except for the body. All bodies must be BRP#264 COT with the wing that comes with the body wing must be run. Gearing is open any gear ratio can be used.Rear must be enclosed and trimmed no higher than the bottom of rear bumper.

BRP Pro Stock>> all rules same as the stock class. Motors allowed 300/370 size and brushless allowed on 4 cell. BRP stock motors as in stock class can run 6 cell. Pro stock bodies can be stock car or outlaw wedge with 1 1/14" tall spoiler. Wings are allowed only the 1/18th BRP wing.

How many BRP's agree to the Super Stock rules? Can the body be a stock-car not necessary the COT? For our first time, I would like to wave the motor claim rule, unless you ALL agree to appoint a person to enforce it. Should the gearing be open/as opposed to the Max pinion size of 10 tooth and a Min spur gear size of 45 tooth?

Please let me know before Friday!
Thanks jscycles,
Kid

no problem with motor claim rule (wave it) or body. (run the body you have)
stock class has the fixed gearing.

super stock is open gearing

Ok BRP'ers!! Here is the final decision on your class! We will follow the Super Stock rules, and allow any Nascar body/COT body's. 4 CELLS, 370 MOTORS-There will NOT BE ANY GEARING RESTRICTIONS! 5 MIN QUALIFIERS-(3) AND 10 MIN MAIN.

ant info on the outdoor track yet

Dirt has been delivered and Drivers Stand is erected! Laying of the loop ceramonies should happend Tuesday! Should be up and running by the weekend! Stay tuned!!!!
What would you be running JS?
Kid

choice of either 1/8 buggy , stock truck (ele), mod truck(ele) or 2wd buggy (ele).
waiting on acouple of parts to come in mail for may 1/8 buggy. should have them before
the weekend.

We had a course laid out but didn't like it. We ripped it up yesterday and god willing will be ready for saturday.....We had an employee running his 1/8 scale buggy and he loved the track. We have moved the track up the side hill by another 4 feet and pulled the track to it's orginal dimensions....it's gonna be awesome!!! Come out Saturday but phone first....

Track is up and running for practice this weekend. We are still working on a few things like bordering the jumps and bringing in inventory and more pits.
Come and enjoy and keep the suggestions coming

whats the story on the on road track? is it setup always for oval? i know this is a somewhat old thread. but.. im moving and need somewhere to run! i plan on running 1/8 buggy on the dirt. but am interested in getting into electrics so i can race year round.

I run on their outdoor dirt track. The indoor carpet track is road course with offroad movable jumps, bumps and table top. I am not sure if they are running any organized carpet races this summer. Give them a call (330-629-9433) or pm chase67(owner). I was talking to one of the areas more respected all around racers last night about running the indoor this winter. From the sounds of it, it should be some real hot racing. All of the drivers he mentioned that plan on running there are top notch on the dirt track so I assume that the same level of racing will take place on the carpet. Check out their dirt thread for shop hours and check it out. If you dig back a couple pages, their is a map for teir location. Hope to see you there!!

We plan on starting our indoor races in September. Currently Oval Races will be Sundays, Saturdays on road and Fridays will be Off Road. The off road day might be changed due to demand but will not be moved to Sunday.

Right now the dirt track is not set to run oval. We just had a track change and will probably not run oval dirt for the rest of the season. Starting in September the Track will be open Wed, Thur, Fri 5 to 10 and Sat 12 to 10 and Sunday 12 to 6ish

Give us a call when you get into town.

Thanks for your interest

I think it's spelled "boogers"

I know it's way early to think about the fall/winter indoor carpet season, but I'm hoping there's enough interest in running the BRP cars on the road course, with GTP bodies. Lookin for a dirt cheap class to run. :) Perhaps, if the rumors of a Track Power lipo that's equivilant to a 4 cell NiMH are true, I could run some 1/12th. Even if not, and if there's no BRP class, it's not that hard to run a 1 cell lipo and 13.5 motor in a 1/12th scale, against 4 cell/17.5 people.

I would love to run the BRP class at the track. I actually spoke with Bud late in the season about bringing in some of his merchandise. When we had our first event we were able to fill the class.


By the way we are going to starting running practice oval on Sundays through the end of the month. The season will start in September.

There was some talk earlier in the summer about having an R/C swap meet early in the fall. Any more thought on this?

At our Shop?

With all the money I have paid out to you I couldn't afford the R...:)

At our Shop?

Yes, the day that JW, Dale & I were there running oval, the guys that were working were talking to us about it.

I think its a great idea I just wasn't privy to it, or maybe i was but im losing my memory in old age.

Any date you had in mind?

I would think that sometime in Sept might be good to attract the off-road guys as well as carpet racers and give you enough time to promote it on all the threads

Sept. 13, looks good!

My vote for a R/C swap meet
would be Sept. 6,13 or 20.

Sorry guys this should have been from me Chase67. I jumped on the computer at the track and replied under Mr Lewis's handle. Let me give the date some thought. Is there any prefrence on a Sunday or Saturday.
I would also open early to accomodate.

Thanks

I think maybe a Saturday might be better, possibly something like 9am - 2 or 3 pm(set-up 1 hr earlier)

how many people r planning on running 1/12th on road and what 13.5,17.5 etc...?
