I would like to see some track info for some, most, all of the OVAL tracks across the U.S. possible.

Data I'd like to see is

TRACK LOCATION
TRACK SIZE
(the more size info, the better...run line, lane width, banking, etc.
TRACK SURFACE
CLASS SPEEDS and TYPES ie 4 cell Brushed, Brushless Lipo, etc.
Tire Type

I'll see if I can get that info for the CALIF. tracks too.

We've got:

Racer's Haven - Bakersfield CA
150 - 160 ft. (I believe..will confirm)
FLAT ASPHALT, Lane Width about 18'
Today's QUICK laps - 4.0's, Today's TQ 70 laps. (I'll have to check for Record times)
5 min racing.
Class 21.5/LIPO
Tires - FOAM

Encino Velodrome - Encino CA
820 ft (Rated at 250 meters)
High Banked Concrete, approx 30' lanes
Fast Laps
17.5/LIPO 9.3's (31 laps)
21.5/LIPO 10.2's (28 laps)
5 min racing
VELO RATED CAPS

McDermont Field House - LINDSAY CA
Approx. 160 ft. (100 x 48) w/ approx. 18 ft lanes.
FLAT Carpet
FOAM

Hot Rod Hobbies - Saugus CA
Flat Asphalt - approx 190 ft. runline ?
I'll need to find data on this track
FOAM

Central Coast R/C - Nipomo CA
Flat Asphalt - Perimeter 110 x 90 (Run line approx 280 ft.)
Square (INDY STYLE) corners.

These are currently the primary So. Cal. places holding OVAL races.

Montgomery, Alabama

Lagoon Park R/C Raceway
310' Run Line
Asphalt Surface
5* banking
30' wide

Electrics used to run here but not in several years. Now it is mainly 1/4 Scale with the Nitro Pan cars coming in a few times a year. The facility has plenty of parking, lighting for night racing and a great drivers-stand. AMB scoring system, personal transponders required. The track will have loaners form time to time but do not count on it, they go fast when they do have them.

Fastest lap times in Nitro-Pan ar 5.0-5.1's. Quarter Scale Sportsman will see times of 5.9-6.0's.

Not too many want to add their track size and style info I guess...too bad, It's nice to see what types and sizes of tracks guys are running.

I watched some of the live feed from Florida's MTR today - track looks really similar in size to our Racer's Haven track in Bakersfield...and speeds looked similar (A little slower...but similar)

21.5 pro (3200 roar approved lipo) 6.2's


What battery does the 21.5 COT use?
Has anyone in the upper 21.5 class tried a 2400 just for yucks to see what the difference would be with the right driver?

21.5 COT uses the same 2400 ORION pack as sportsman, and the 2400 will not run out the back door with the 3200's at our track, it is just 2 big to allow that.
