Friday January 23, Battle Front Gaming will hold its first Slash Bash Trophy race. We will have a spec class and with enough interest a mod class if 3 or more mods sign up. More info will follow about start times and such, we just wanted to get the idea out in view. Rules for the classes can be found on the slash spec class at BFG thread.

Bring on the Slashes! LENNY! LENNY! LENNY! LENNY!

A little information on the event.

Start time 8:00 pm
3 heats and the main
$20.00 entree first class

Its getting closer !:woohoo:

Just wondering how many people are running mod class for the slash bash? thanks

I know 2 already said they were, so if you do, that makes at least 3. I'm on the fence, I don't know if i'm running stock or mod yet. Maybe both.

Yeah i have been thinking about getting another one so that i can run both mod and stock but i cant wait to get my new chassis and tires for my slash

i plan on being there running stock class. No money to upgrade to mod class right now.

I hear ya, If I were to run mod, I probably would just drop one of the 19t's I already have in the thing and call it good.

Merry Chistmas everyone if we run modified can we run what ever motor we want to?

Yup, any motor will work.

alright so i cant wait until we get to race in the slashbash that is going to be so much fun

Hell, we hope you make it out before then. Bunch of us racing saturday morning !

will you be able to rent a slash for the bash on the 23?

You would probably want to put your name in for one soon because he has a limited amount to rent, but yes you can rent them.

:thumbsup:

ROB ROB ROB WHY BE LIKE THAT:wave:

WHAT THE!!!! Why do you have to bring me into all of this! LOL :dude:

will you be able to rent a slash for the bash on the 23?

Only problem with the Slash rental is that 3 of mine have gone brushless and 2 have worn out Titans in them that I am not planning on replacing. I am going to put brushless in them as well.

Running a brushless will have to go in the mod class. To run in the stock class and have a strong Titan you would have to provide your own motor to put in the truck or run one of mine which might or might not be competitive.

Otherwise, yes I will make them available for rental.

Leonard so i will deffinatly be running stock and mod slash now picked up a roller off ebay for 40 bucks not to bad of shape brand new just needs all the electronics and a transmission. so i hope i can get it running before slash bash.

Sweet, yur gonna have yur own fleet!

Hey Lenman, I waited for your call to go to Washtenaw. Raced at BFG and found out you went there anyhow. Oh well. Probably see you Wednesday and give you a hard time about it!

Yup I realized what I did too ! Sorry bout that ! If I saw you around more I probably would have remembered. With the holidays and such, I simply forgot, sorry. I do hope you make it wednesday to give me a hard time!

Hey, Its Steve. Im the guy with the "Hooters" Slash. I just wanted to say it was fun racing with you BFG guys at washtenaw. I look forward to trying out your home track for the Slash Bash.

Man we had a blast and look forward to you making it over here !
Lenman

So how many of you guys are gonna be there for this. I know theres a few of us coming from the Ann Arbor area.

Don't have an exact number but we have ordered trophies for 7 heats, we can order more if that aint enough but we are expecting a good mumber

Dude your going to love it there!! There is SOOO much more traction than at washtenaw!

5 more days till slash bash gettin really excited

"Traction"...........What is traction? No such thing where I race! Cant wait to see the difference!

OK, what turn is allowed in the MOD class? I have a 8.5 and a 13.5

If you run mod, anything goes, no restrictions in the mod class !

The day is getting closer! I have a few questions I want to throw out and get some responses on. First, this is going to be a trophy race, but the whole idea is to have fun (thus the pizza, pop, etc.) How does everyone feel about the following thoughts:

1.) Music on the PA before the racing, between rounds, during the food break and after racing is done? Will this disturb anyone?

2.) Do you want the scoring system to call the race or would you rather have a "human" voice calling the races?

3.) IFMAR starts for the Mains or a "Supercross" 4 wide starting grid, drop the flag and everyone go?

Music, computer, IFMAR

THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME :woohoo::thumbsup:

I think anyhting but an IFMAR start for the mains kind takes some of the importance of qualifying well away . Club racing would be one thing, but for trophies, I don't think the person who qualified 1st should share the pole with 3 other trucks and the wreckage that will follow.

Agreed. Only reason I asked is, when we were down racing at Leisure Hours I watched the Slash A and B Mains. They started both with 10 trucks, two rows of 5. Was bad ass to watch them take off and the amazing thing was, no wrecks the first lap. They started way back on the end of the straight, so all the fast trucks broke away from each other by the time you make the first corner. Was sweeeeeet to watch, I bet even more fun to race.

Probably a human calling out races would be best I think. Ifmar starts and music would be good.

You know what an IFMAR start is don't you? It's like what is done in qualifing with everyone on their own clock. You should be racing other trucks in the main and not the clock. Mains should never be IFMAR start IMHO.

Yes you are right Hank, my bad, I just re-read what I asked. IFMAR starts for the qualifying and all at once for the mains. I guess my real question was, do we want to go 4 wide to start or line 'em up nose to tail. :thumbsup:

Hehe... that is what I figued but wanted to make sure it was clear. Personally, I like Supercross or landrush starts as it's a great equalizer and would be much more like the real thing (CORR does landrush starts). We did one a few weeks ago with 7 trucks on the front straight and made it to the tabletop before there were any problems. Of course the guys that would normally TQ wouldn't vote that way ;) But in the end it's whatever it is.

May have been bad wording calling it an IFMAR start but we ment normal start like we always do. I always know what I mean in my own head:freak:

Just dont listen to those voices in your head and we will all be better off Lenman!
