HHMM sounds interesting running the COT on a big track.

13.5/1c :thumbsup:

...keep the first three (of the asteriked 5), toss the last two.

It would be really cool to see a Platts./RCH Spec showdown.

I am in for 17.5 1 cell lipo and sk

HHMM sounds interesting running the COT on a big track.

will be kind of hard for the cot cars to be two places at once, most of them are committed to race number 3 of the barre series on march 22nd, hope this does not hurt your turnout.:wave:

oh crap that is right.

yeah, after 2 races, I'm comitted to racing Barre's 3rd leg of series.

Antonio

Jason...why always going slow in oval?? 13.5 4 cells will be good....i wish to have run there in 10.5...but 13.5 will be better than nothing!!

i m going if we have a 4cells 13.5 class....i hope to make it!!! i really like this track!!

Pace

Hi Pace,

A few of us think it's the way to go to save the hobby. We're trying to show 1s to people to get them to come back next year - times are getting pretty tough out there, so it's not just about going fast. I don't own anymore competition NiMH batteries, so I'm not interested in running any of those classes. However, if you could put a group of guys together for 13.5 4 cell, I would like to run 10.5 1s with you if you don't mind...but of course it's all up to Ken. Hope to see some of you guys back.

Jason

In order to not conflict with the race at Barre, this event has been rescheduled to one week later, Sunday, March 29. We hope more of you will be able to attend on this date.

Is going to stay on a Sunday if you move the date?

maybe jason we can make a class 1cells 10.5 or mix these one with 13.5 4cells!! the fun for me running in oval is when you have to use your throttle and not only the steering wheel!!;)

i will talk with some guy where i race if they are interrested!

Pace

21.5 Lipo please, lets get some interest.

TTT...

Heath, if you're watching - throw some free Iron Maximus entries our way for 13.5/1s. :wave::thumbsup::)

LOL:woohoo::woohoo:

Has this race been moved to the 29th? just wondering

It would be better for me too(Mar 29)

the 29th would be better for me as well, looking at running 13.5 1cell and COT

This event has been officially rescheduled for Sunday March 29th.

We will be combining 1S LiPo 10.5 and 4 cell 13.5BL.
We will also run 21.5BL 2S LiPo if there is any interest - Turn 4 guys?
Pro-Stock SK's will run 17.5BL/4 cell(ROAR 27T motors also allowed)

4 cell pan car classes run at 41oz. 1S LiPo classes run at 36oz.
SK's - 4 cell - 37oz, 1S LiPo -32oz.

so whats the biggest 1 cell class going to be ???

1 Cell/13.5 is a safe bet, Mike. I will probably try the 1 Cell/10.5 also for fun and to compare for next year.

Looks like I will be making the trip now. Put me in for 13.5 1s and 21.5

Heath, if you're watching - throw some free Iron Maximus entries our way for 13.5/1s. :wave::thumbsup::)

That's very considerate of you jason, I would like that!

p.s. you might be able to talk him into doing is for the JSMR.

Ken
What time young to start racing on Sunday? May make the trip if can.

Chris Tadman

Chris, racing starts at 2:00 Sunday March 29. Doors open at 9am.

Any one at your track try this yet.
Dan

I did. I think they are going to have that class (17.5/1cell) next year as their spec class.

What did you think of it? waht kind of rollout did you use.Thinking of racing it at you race on the 29 th.
Dan

It was alright. I just threw a big gear on. I just don't know how many will be there for that class on the 29th? It has never been raced there. I didn't even realize it was being offered until you brought it up lol.

I wish the guys would just run 1 cell spec for this race, which would be = SMC single cell battery/Novak 17.5/BSR Spec tires.

I would recommend "RCH (racing city hobbies) spec", but you might have to buy rch labeled nimh batteries at the hobby shop.

I am not really sure what to tell you, other than there 13.5/single cell should be a safe bet.

This race is about 2 weeks away. Who's coming and what are you running?
I will be running 1 cell 13.5, and possibly S/K pro stock.

With any luck I'll be there to help run the show.

John :thumbsup:

with any luck i'll be there to watch and hang out for a bit :thumbsup::wave:

Awesome!! Are you bringing anyone with you and are you racing the club race on Sat. night? Alan is aware of the GC at exit 15, right?

T.T.T. - The groove came in nicely last night. :thumbsup:

It was a fast track last night and it will be much faster next weekend for the Challenge!! :thumbsup:

Any COT guys from Plattburgh coming to race? I was thinking of building a car. Need to find a couple batteries to borrow unless Lipos are allowed. Not sure how Lipos compare to the spec packs?

there will be a few COT coming down Tommy , I'm sure we will have some packs for you to use.

the GC is really good!!!!

Mr. Walsh, I was gonna PM you, but can't. Do you think you could round up TJ, Phil, and some others for next week? Would be cool to see you back at RCH. :thumbsup:

I am planning on making the trip down for 13.5/1cell.

Tommy, tried to pm you also but couldn't. If I make it down I have some batteries you can use for COT.

Jason,

Phil, Tj and myself are all planning on making the trip on Sunday for 1c/13.5. Sounds like that will be the big class.

Awesome...should be some really great racing!

Looks like the single cell/13.5 is gonna be the biggest class once again.

This is sort of a longshot, but I'm eying this race. Checked out the site and the track looks awesome!

I might be able to put together a ride pending a quick sale of my Losi Mini Latemodel and a Yes from the wife.

Could someone post a good starting point for 13.5 for tires, rollout and such?

Hey Patrick,

Novak rollout approx. 3.90

I like Pearl LR, White LF, Black RF, Grey/White RR (BSR).

I'm sure we could find you a ride...you might have to supply a motor.

Jason

You have ride rental Jason, what a deal. No sun glasses so far.
