It's time to start think about the best short track race in the northeast,the Date is March 14th,2009 doors open at 7am racing starts at 1 pm sharp.it has came to my attention thats theres another trophy race that day at Maximus.the Sears race has been on the second week of March for 6 years and we are not changing our date.hope to see everyone there.

Short track racing at it's best. Some of the best oval racers will be here. I can't wait!

Oh I gotta try to get some time off for this race. Went Last year for the first time and had a BLAST! What SK Classes are run there? I no Longer have a intact 1/12 scale, I lost that last year at Walts hobbies. Full speed head on into the outside wall, Generally leaves you with a broken chassis, Bent T-plate, and many many many other problems.

The Race to be at for sure, racing will be door to door, wheel to wheel all day.

Class line up should be: Mini's, Nastruck 1/10, COT 1/10, 17.5 4cell 1/10, 13.5 1cell Lipo, SK Spec Motor & Batt, 1/12 ????. Link For rules http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=230311

Hope to see you there!!!

tird69,

It's actually the NEOT race #4 at RC Madness. I really don't think it should affect the JSMR very much. 1 cell 13.5....C'mon!!

What's the lipo heating rule for the Jeff Sears?

Here's what I propose. NO HEATING. You get caught once, you miss your run and you pit outside in the cold. Get caught twice, get thrown into Lake Champlain...with a punctured lipo tied to your nuts!

opps forgot that part NO Heating of lipo allowed max temp is 10 above ambient temperature

Hi Dan Maximus dosent have a race that day. I hope to make it.Your track is alot of fun.I will see if i can bring some racers with me :wave:

i agree on the no heating thing, just found out guys are now discharging the pack at high rate just before they charge and charging at 8 amps, packs are staying around 105 if done correctly, I have not done this as of yet, I think the 10 degrees above ambient is tough and leaves too much room for argurment, make a max temp with track temp gun, no exceptions to the rule, and stick with it, it would not bother me if the max temp was as low as 70 or 80 degrees, even playing field for all. oh ya, forgot,need someone to step up and actually tech, the head tech guy only shows up once in a great while,

either way this will be by far the best event in the northeast as it has been every year, I would pay to race at the jeff sears memorial before I would anywheres else for free................................get the picture.

I think that the battery temp issue can be controlled by using 1 temp gun from start to finish. That is the only one that matters. You should compare your own temp gun to the track temp gun and that should take care of any problems. I think a reasonable temp would be 75 max. Also we have talked about a max voltage of 4.22. If you don't meet the temp or the voltage spec's you won't be able to run that race.

Dick J

It sounds like the voltage is more important then anything and there should be more then enough time that the battery should be ready 2 heats before you race(tech voltage at that point if you are caught screwing (recharging or heating) with your battery after tech you miss that run) , doing that would eliminate the temp issue (i would that the battery would be cool in 10 minutes so it would make no sense to heat)

Everyone will have a bad back at a big race now, Oh my back i need a heat pad.:cry:

and i got one those dog collars(zapper) that we can put on your nutz to give a boost.

dont think i will be able to run lipo u no the way i like to heat things up

:dude::thumbsup:

let's see if we can get the 1/12 scales running this year....
who's up for 1/12 scale 17.5?

I would normally be all over the 1/12 scale class. But this year I've done 0 racing and have updated none of my equiptment. It looks like i may have the day free to race this event. and I'll be up for running the SK class. Just read the rules on the other thread. which brush is the track brush? Integy? Now that i have my Lil track in Mass i can better set-up a car for this track.

Mike, gonna miss you in 12 scale. Maybe I can try to get you a ride. Let me see if I can build you one for this race.

the sk class is using the trinity 21 turn spec motor with the integy M3001 brushes (full face )

Thanks Butters, I'll start tuning right away.

If you need any motors or brushes let me know i'll shipp down or something

here's the challenge, let's see if anyone is willing to make the trip to dethrone kenny the red rocket roberts at this track, if he drives a full race with no mistakes and does not get in any trouble i don't think anyone can beat him on this track,

so if yoy think your fast come to plattsburg and try your luck, I'm pretty sure you'll be scratching your head by the time the night is over....


congrats kenny on both records, I honestly feel with a perfect run in the feature your car is capable of 100 laps.

that's just insane:woohoo:

Sure I ain't scared of Kenny!! Just kidding, he would blow my doors away for sure. I heard all about what he did this weekend good for you Kenny.

Hey Justina , i got the motor andbattery to keep up with Kenny but you might want a different car, (may it rest in peace):(


The COT car is fine , but going to detune the car for you so that you don't get more laps then me.

Butters what time is the funeral for the PRO built KKK Hyperdrive,my KSG would like to be Paul bearer.

still looking for a church that will do the funeral

Can my CRC be a paul bearer too!
WKBracing that's one heck of a challenge!

Wade,

I think your 100% right ? I have driven both cars and uncle wayne has driven sir Kenny Roberts car! The dame thing keeps on turning and doesn't stop! Full gas , half gas , even off the Gas she turns! Either car can be dragging on the ground 2 lbs over weight , change all kinds of shi? in between rounds they are all still fast! And 100% legal, they just dame turn? Even change cars from week to week? Dude I even give up!

Kenny you suck, but YOur still my BRO?
Aliens!
