Fulton's R/C Raceway 2008-2009 race season.

Jim and Edna will be opening the doors to the track for another exciting season at the bullring on Saturday, October 4th. They will be closed the following week, October 11th, for their annual pilgrimage to Charlotte Motor Speedway. The following week, October 18th, the track will reopen for the season.

The prices for racing continue to be the lowest around at $4 for one class, $7 for two classes, and $10 for three or more classes. We will be using the Robitronic counting system and transponders this season. Personal transponders are available for purchase at Fulton's Hobby Shop and will also be available for purchase or on a rent-to-own basis of 5$ per week at the track.

The main classes ran this year will be:
Losi Sliders
Losi Mini Late Models
1/10th Stadium trucks
1/10th Spec Nastruck
1/10th Spec brushless
1/10th Pan stock
1/12th Stock
Breakouts
PVC Bombers
1/18th Open
1/18th Rally
1/18th Monster trucks
Legends
Beginners

And as always if you have 3 or more cars we can make a class for you.

If you have any questions regarding rules or the track in general feel free to ask here, pm me, or call Jim at the hobby shop at 1-304-233-5355.

I forgot to mention that the track will be open on Wednesday nights for practice also. We will also have a weekly newsletter available at the track each week. We are also working with Jim on several special races throughout the season. I will post the details of each of the races on here soon and in the newsletter.
Mike Moore

When do the Wednesdays practices start? Is anyone interested in running a 27t 6c 4wd touring car class?

Wed. practice will begin on Oct. 1st. They will be closed the following week, and will reopen the next Wed. again.

What's the rules for the Losi Late Models?
Tires:
Batteries:
Motors:
ESC:

I may be down a weekend or two over the winter since Pitroad here in Columbus was forced to shut down this year :(.

As of right now they will be completely stock. We are looking into a possible low cost replacement for the batteries and motors. We will vote on this after the first couple of weeks of racing. When I know any more I'll let you know.

I have asked this before but it was at the end of the year last year,Can someone give me directions from I-70 or I-470 be comin down from Canton Oh, Thanks Keith

Hi Keith,
the easiest way for you to get there would be I-470. You will want to take the 27th st. / Wheeling exit. Once off the exit take 27th st. to Chapline st. Head south (left) on chapline st. (for about 3/4 mile) till you get to 38th. st. Turn left onto 38th st. for 1 block. The track is located in a 3 story brick building on the corners of 38th and Eoff streets. Hope to see you this season. Make sure to introduce yourself, their are some great people at Fulton's.
Mike Moore

Js Rocket 13, I Thought You Had A Late Model Allready? Oh Your Talking About The Remote Control Losi Mini Late Model Wasnt You? Ovaldetta.

js rocket 13 is your rc late model faster ?????

js rocket 13 is your rc late model faster ?????

Only for now waiting to hear from a local engine builder on the rules for that KOMS bull think I'm building a cheater motor if it possable those PBM deals are a little loose on there rules, the 602 version make 20hp more than GM's 604 so I'm building a 604 PBM hoping it gonna be 50 over there 602. Plus if everything goes right I should be starting a new job in Oct which will cut alot of time outta my racing but I can retire in 20 to 25 years.

Jimmy

magic20008 your late model is safe for now . gotta go to New York that weekend
with my loving spouse . see you guys after Fulton gets back . feel free to work the bugs
out of those late models for me see you later chuck127

what brushless motor does everyone want to run in brushless pan 10.5 or 13.5

I've still got my 4300 Travis. I think Jimmy has a 10.5 in his. I left the back of the body in the brushless cars like you and Jack did this year. I also just finished a new MC for Jack.

Hey Everyone, Fultons Is Still Having A Beginners Class, Those Kids Have A Blast, While We, The Dads, Turn Marshall Plus Be The Pit Mechanic Fixing Them. We All Learned How To Turn Left, Not So Long Ago , Some Are Still Learning, Ha Ha So Bring Your Kids And Let Them Race! Ovaldetta.

Mr Moore Pvc Bomber Is Pretty Cool.........should Be Fun Miss The Old Bomber Days

Well I Was Just Handed The Keys To A 56 Ford Pvc Bomber, Sponsered By Pauls Sheep Shearing, Once Again Mr Moore Did A Great Job Putting A Killer Paint Job And Graphics On It, This Is The Class To Watch, Its Gonna Be Entertaining For Everyone! Ovaldetta.

OMG!!!!!!!!! Poor Bill got the body thats too funny.

HEY I USE TO BE A sheep farmer, i like it, no one else will have a bomber that looks like that! ovaldetta.

I plan on bringing my son with me and I need to buy him his
1st. r/c car.
m.s.

Kids Run Anything That They Want........some Run Buggy Some Run Truck..............nice Turn Out For Practice Night........7 Late Models........."the Reverend" Dale Rodgers Was Very Fast.......should Be Good Year Of Racing

My Daughter Ran Her First Pan Car Last Year,540 Motor,4 Cell Spec Pack,epa Turned Down On Radio For Throttle Control, And Then She Ran A Hpi Rock Crawler On The Oval, This Year She Has A Xxx Buggy With A 45t Lathe Motor And Low Gears, She Loves It! Oh Yeah Big ,.big Bumpers Are A Must. Kids Will Drive Anything That Looks Cool. The Kids Class Will Be Running About 2 Times A Month If Possible. Ovaldetta

Ok, I have a couple of questions and observations after running the oval for the first time in 10+ years. 1st off, 27t and 6/c is WAY TOO MUCH for PVC Bomber class...the old silver can 540 and 4/c will replace it before Saturday...slower is faster :thumbsup: The Late Model set up is pretty good right out of the box, just a little tweeking and it should be perfect(need to keep the inside rear on the carpet to keep the diff from unloading in the turns)..MAGIC you're right about Dale's LM, we may want to institute a claim rule, his car is much faster down the straights than everyone else ;)
Finally, how do I calculate rollout and what should it be for NASTRUCK? Jack said something to me before he left about running a 100t spur and 2.16 r/o but I'm not sure how to calculate it. I used to have a program when I raced TC that calculated it for me but it is long gone.....

Pinion divided by spur times 3.14 times tire dia =r/o
What are you guys runin as far as brushed or brushlees lipo

Keith

Hey Ross, I think I may play with a 5 cell for bombers. I plan on running the first heat with 5 cells and the second with 6. Hopefully once the track gets some compound in it we will get more traction.
Mike

Magic2008 A claim rule ? Nobody will claim the "reverend" and besides that , ask anybody thats raced with him . He's not a fast driver - he's a half-fast driver.
see you guys in a couple of weeks. chuck127

mike, are you running a silver can 540?

Hey Chuck You May Be Right About That.............see Ya In A Few

I Will Bring My Pvc Bomber I Think Its Ready, Iam Going To Try The Blue End Bell Vortec And A 6 Cell And A 4 Cell Just In Case.k.j. Price, Fulton Doesnt Like Us Useing Lipo Cells, Safety Reasons? Nicds, Nimhs Only. Anybody Gonna Run 1/18th Breakout Or Open Class? Still Have My Brushless Vendetta! See You Guys There Sat. Ovaldetta

Ross, I am going to stay with a 27t for now. I'll probably bring a silver can with me in case. I'd be willing to bet your slower is faster idea is right, but I've got way too much to do this week to have the time to change it. Bill, Paul and myself plan on running 1/18th breakout. I don't know if I am going to run open yet. Too many other classes to sort out yet.
Mike

Hey guys it was nice to see everyone this weekend I can't wait to get everything strait with my class and work and come up, I see a Losi Late Model in my future. Bill where was you at i really wanted to see the Paul Sheep shearing bomber. Magic and Chad your 2 cars looked awesome.

I Just Talked To Mike M, He Said The Pvc Bombers Was A Blast To Run And Watch, Hey I Had A Great Day Saturday, Iam A Deer Hunter First And Rc Driver Second, Well I Shot A 12 Pointer With My Crossbow Sat Mourning At A Close Range Of 15 Yds And Still Had To Go Track Him For 1/4 Mile(not Happy) Finally Found Him Bedded Down In A Brush Pile, One More Shot In Him, Now He Is In My Deep Freeze , Oh Yeah! I Will Be There The Next Time Fultons Is Open, Se Everone There, Ill Bring Pictures Of The Buck I Shot. Ovaldetta.
