Hello everyone! Joe's Hobby Barn and Raceway, in Terre Haute, Indiana, Will start running OVAL races beginning Oct. 19, 2008.

For those that have not been to Joe's indoor, We run a 90' flat Oval on Ozite carpet. We have AMB transponders in house, but our system doesn't support personal transponders. Racing is on sundays. The first entry is $15, $10 for the second and so on. Doors open at 10am racing begins at 1:00pm. We run 2 heats and a main event.


The most popular classes at Joe's are:

LEGEND - 4 cell spec, spec motor, spec tires. all original rules apply, except we use turnbuckles and bearings.

TOURING CAR - 6 cell, stock motor,sedan body, foam tires.

RUBBER TIRE NASTRUCK - 6 cell or 5000 lipo, stock motor or 13.5 brushless, Nastruck body,TC Chassis, rubber tires.

PAN CAR - 4 cell 4600 mah max, 17.5 Brushless, Nascar body.

GEARBOX TRUCK - any stadium truck, 6 cell or 5000 lipo, stock motor or 13.5 brushless, truck body, foam tires.

NOVICE - "Run what you brung" If you are new to RC racing we encourage you to start in the novice class.

Joe's will run ANYTHING as long as there are 3 racers for a class!

WE ALWAYS WANT MORE RACERS!!!!!!

Sometime in november will be the "TOYS FOR TOTS" race. It is a trophy race. Admission is a new toy and $5. Bring more than one if you can! I want to set a record this year for toy donations. We will post a date up later, so keep an eye out and plan on attending this race. It is a blast every year!

Feel free to post up, keep this thread alive!

BTW: Brushless motors will be opened up to all manufactures this year.

Sorry, forgot to put that down. Yes we race on sundays.

Goody!!! Sunday Racing!!!!!!

What time does the racing usually ends? High School on Mondays SUCK!!!

Also, does the Touring Car Class run Oval also???

All we have is oval, so everything runs oval... We usually get done around 5-6pm.

I know they are supposed to run on road courses to be legal and all but has anyone ran a VTA on the oval? Just a thought....don't throw anything.

Will The 13mm Rotor Be Legal In The Brushless Class?

If Theres 3 In A Class. I Would Think You Could

Will The 13mm Rotor Be Legal In The Brushless Class?

I would think No but I have been wrong in the past.......the rotor was made for onroad touring to give the motor more torque........I think we will have enough power to need one.........Just a thought

We will have to discuss that 13mm thing I don't know. Never even thought about that to honest.

Well i say since we are open to manufactures, and we allow ceramic bearings, and open speedos. And we have already decided the extra power doesnt help anything, why tell them they cant spend their money on what they want? Why create a hassle? Also, who is gonna tech the thing and measure it?

any one want to buy some equipment. i see this is going back to money war. maybe i will stick to hot wheels.

any one want to buy some equipment. i see this is going back to money war. maybe i will stick to hot wheels.its all a mind game you don't have to run what everbody else is running, run what you budget can afford and work on setup and you will be fine, because the fastguys will always be fast no matter what you give them..

You guys aren't going to price me out of Nastruck already are you??:) Dropped $40 at Joes today for tires, outdrives, etc. Still need wheels, inserts, lipo, ?:freak: Now if I have to drop more upgrading motor, speed control, etc., I would have been better off rebuilding the 454 for my Chevelle:thumbsup: I hope what ever rules you all pick they are interchangable with Newcastle so I can try to get upthere at least once the winter too:)

its starting to sound that way

Boyz, on a short track like Joes, too much hosspower can only get you in trouble unless your car is incredibly set up. A track like Newcastle, yeah, you could outgun someone and get away with it because of the size. Joe's is too short to worry about that stuff. I raced there when 6 cell modified was going on and most guys were faster or as fast running stock......I'm dating myself aren't I? Jon knows of what he speaks.

when is the new carpet going to be put down at the barn? thats what we ought to be talking about

Now thats the spirit.........Hey why don't start racing first because a few of us have not even run brushless in there nastruck and throw lipo in there that is enough for now.........lets go racing boyz........:thumbsup:

its starting to sound that way

Trust me , From what I saw last year and my experience with brushless and lipo , I think ( :woohoo: ) any run of the mill 13.5 w/lipo will be competitive providing you spend the time on set up and " driving practice " of course unless you are a natural like the jon guy and his dog I have been hearing about , he didn't have to practice at all (did he Jon ;) )

So true Modsrus.....I think that will be the key this season will be to figuring out the setup and just being able to drive in traffic.........sounds like we will have a nice size nasturck field this season......that is great.......:thumbsup:

I need all the practice I can get..... got more money tooooooooo spend so i can keep up..lol
