View Full Version : Indy 500 Race in Eden NC
Slotcarjames 05-14-2008, 08:02 PM I would like to see if there is any interest in a Indy 500 race at Monaco Grand Prix in Eden NC on Saturday the 24th at around 5:00PM on the 20' x 4' Maxtrax Scorpion layout?
Cars: Box Stock Super G+ with Tomy Turbo rims and either the Turbo Crown gear or the box stock G crown. Super Tires that must tech in no smaller than .432" and of coarse Tomy Super G Indy car body with wings and no mods.
Price $10.00 per racer with the winner getting 50% of the total entry fees.
We will run 3 full rotations of 4 lanes 3min. each. There will be a 4 wreck rule per heat. Using the track call button you can stop the action 3 times but on the 4th you must seat out the remainer of the heat time. You will re-enter at the starting line on the next rotation.
8 Driver limit. So the first 8 drivers are in!!!
Any questions please contact me at:

Any controller of choice as long as it doesn't require an ext. power source.
I will start a list of racers write here:
1: James Rorrer.............#5 AFX
2: Austin.....................Armorall
3: B-D-Donnie
4: Justin.....................McDonalds
BlueDevilDonnie 05-15-2008, 10:17 AM Count me in. Is it ok if the body has been repainted?
Slotcarjames 05-15-2008, 10:56 AM As long as it weights more. Ha, ha just kidding. Sure that is fine. I've see your work, so I am sure that it will look great too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need to see if you will paint me a Danica Patrick Indy car?

BlueDevilDonnie 05-15-2008, 11:10 AM I can do that. I don't have any Motorola decals tho...maybe I can figure out how to print some up. I'll get started this weekend.
Rawafx 05-15-2008, 08:12 PM If you are going to run Super G's are you going to require everyone run the older black chassis or are you going to allow the newer gray colored chassis??? I am pretty sure I have to work until at least 5 that day so I won't be there until early evening if i come up there. I am also supposed to go work(spin wrenches) at a 24 Hour mountain bike race in North Wilksboro that weekend, too.

Sure will miss you.
SuperFist 05-16-2008, 01:45 PM If you want to run box stock Indy cars why don't you use BSRT G3 902 cars ?

Then you wont have to change the hubs, gears and tires to ones that don't belong on a Super G+ box stock.
And the Tomy / AFX Indy car bodies fit on it.

Slotcarjames 05-16-2008, 03:19 PM I have the 902 G3R myself but none of my customers have them yet. I was looking for a race that would allow them to be able to be a part it without paying $39.95.
I hope that they will step up to the G3R later. I have 5 in stock.
Great Car!!!
The other problem is, there are some G3 owners but the 902 G3R is faster by far. The G plus setup like a G3 can be as fast because the stock G+ Ground effect magnets are stronger than the G3 ceramic GE Magnets.
Of coarse the race will be at about 1.3 seconds slower per lap when comparing G+ and G3R's.
We do rent our track out to clubs for racing in which case they can set their own rules. $5.00 per person per race.
Thank you for your input and interest!!!
dusty-24541 05-16-2008, 10:15 PM hey james me a justin we come down there for some drag racing this weekend.so maybe we can get some runing in. if not well get a dragrace racing going on o-ya ill hav a old famly firend whit us that is very intrested in racing up there his name is bobby real cool guy who love racing.later-dusty
Slotcarjames 05-17-2008, 05:51 PM New local racer, Justin as been added to the 500!!! There are now only 4 slots left.
Slotcarjames 05-18-2008, 06:34 PM Just four slot left for this race.
Austin-buckshot 05-18-2008, 06:43 PM how much cash is up?
Slotcarjames 05-19-2008, 09:08 AM As the first post said, 1/2 of whats made on entry fees, so 8 people would be $40.00.
Slotcarjames 05-21-2008, 10:33 PM Still have four spots left in this race with only 3 days to go.
Austin-buckshot 05-22-2008, 05:55 PM im not going to be down there friday but ill be there saturday
Slotcarjames 05-23-2008, 10:06 AM On more day until the 500!!!
MOMO57 05-23-2008, 10:22 AM Any slots left open? I don't own a SGP, so do you have them for sale? What's the cost? I'd rather buy a 902 chassis if allowed....:thumbsup:
BlueDevilDonnie 05-23-2008, 11:14 AM If I'm not mistaken, a Super G and a G3R should be pretty close time wise. The G3R has larger traction magnets, but they are ceramic. The Super G has polymers, but I recall they are pretty comparable grip wise.
MOMO57 05-23-2008, 11:43 AM Well,
I think the 902 should be allowed. It will allow more 'flexibility' (allowing you to mount a lexan body). IF, or WHEN, those faster classes would be run on what looks to be a fine layout....:)
Slotcarjames 05-23-2008, 05:51 PM We have a sell on the Super G+ just for this race. It will be $22.00. I have Super tires and turbo rear ends too. The G3R is allot faster than the G+. Over .5 of a second per lap. The G3 is the one that is closer to the G+.
Anyway, G+ only with .063 stock axle and Tomy Turbo hubs and Super tires with either the 22 or the 25T stock gear as I mentioned in the first post.
Hope to see you all tomorrow. I would recommend getting here by 4:00PM. The race will be at 5:00PM.
If we have over 8 racers no one will be turned away. It will just take a little longer to run the race but no problem.
