YES. Starting in early October, With the exception of the motor freeze spray. We will allow motor freeze spray. all other rules will apply.

RCRacer00
08-24-2009, 07:08 PM
As for SK's, the motor rule will be opened up as of October 11th to any ROAR Approved 13.5 motor. The batteries will remain 4000 mah 25c 1 cell lipo only.

And there will only be this one class 13.5 1cell. I dont feel the class is big enough to cover more than one type of motor.

Hey Mike...with all those closed dates on Sunday due to outdoor events any thoughts of Fri night or Sat. night racing?

Don't mind Jerry, he's just jealous that I'm able to finish more than 1 main a year without being wrecked out. My old-man used to say that consistently being in the wrong place at the wrong time says something.:wave:

The TOUR has the sportsman class with 17.5/1cell and Truck Body. I feel this class hasnt formed at this track for several reasons, One reason being i think our track is too big for the speeds of sportman.

It's possable, But those first two on the line-up we wont beable to open. Kim and I are gettting Married on Sept 26th, So I think she would have a issue if i wanted to open the race track that night. And the following week my best friend is getting Married. We'll take a look at the rest of the days in question.

Sorry for the delayed response Rick. We will not be open labor day weekend. Next day to be open will be the 13th. I've been tossing around some ideas for Saturday racing. maybe once or twice a month. i"ll keep everyone posted.

Mike...I think Sat. night racing would be better..especially during the Football season...

RCRacer00
09-04-2009, 05:51 PM
We understand that for some it's better to run on Saturday and for some it's better to run on Sunday. Stafford has just ALLWAYS run on Sundays, Mainly because R/C Madness runs on Saturday Nights. Right now they are relocating to a new building, I'm sure they will be running soon. We're not aganist running a saturday now and then, What we are aganist is Waisting money on overhead expences to be open for 2 or three people. I'm thinking if we can get it out there that we'll be open xxxx number of Saturdays, we should beable to have a good turn-out.

That would be great. I'm planning on heading up a handful of times this year, and I Saturday would be better for me.

7.5 is unknown at this point
13.5 i've see alot of differant set-ups. Really kind of hard to pinpoint due to the weather change. My best guess would be, Blue RF, Black LF, White RR, Pearl LR.
10.5- Too new to tell.
