Not sure, I just race there. There was a post on the CRCRC forums a while back that suggested they have been discussing the classes for a while now and will release that information soon.

That's great Scott. We had a really competitive mod 2wd class for opening weekend (20 vehicles) and all other classes were represented. See you soon.

Hey Rodney, can't wait to lose to you at Proving Grounds!

CRCRC uses 13.5 as stock. Only one or two locals have 17.5 in their pit box.

First electric point series race was a success with 90 entries. Check out details on my blog http://crcrc.blogspot.com/2009/10/crcrc-electric-point-series-race-1-18.html

I also took a time lapse video throughout the race day that compressed 7+ hours of racing into five minutes. I think it's pretty cool, check it out on the blogpost above.

Wow 90 entries that's awesome guys!

Electric is BACK for SURE! :) We'll be down sometime in November!

Hopefully I'll get out to race before the January race...if not - see you all in January!

It's really exciting to see electric off road going strong and growing in Ohio. Looks like there are great turn outs across the state and some stiff competition.

I was actually thinking of heading to Classic this coming Saturday as the wife needs me "out of the house". TBD though.

we had 2 elect races this summer and they had 250 for one and 180 for the other. we will be down for some racing this winter for sure

Thanksgiving race was held this weekend. Great turnout. Pics here (videos soon).

Great coverage as usual Rodney!

im thinking about running my electric 1/8 scale at the winter midwest race in january, but i dont have much experiance setting my buggy up for indoor blue groove type track. im guessing id just want thicker shock oils, stiffer springs, less droop, lower ride height? and which tires? i know people have used Panther Switch 2.0's in the past, but what about Prolines Inside Jobs? or JConcepts new BarCodes? or is there a better tire out there? and what tire/insert combo works best for a blue groove surface? soft tires with hard inserts? sorry for the bombardment of questions, i just have no idea how to set my car up for the surface and im just totally guessing on all this lol.




pics so you know what tires im talking about



JConcepts Barcodes

HPIFreak. I'm more of a 1/10th guy, but you can't go wrong with pink taper pins. I heard J concepts Sevens are good on the club track. For real answers, I'd suggest asking on the forums at www.crcrc.com.

How has your nitro turn out been?

where are the results for the 12-5-09

They guy who takes care of the results was on vacation this week. They'll likely be updated next week.

How has your nitro turn out been?

Down from last year, but still decent on most Saturdays.

Does anyone have any idea how many nitro guys are coming TMO?

2 truggys and 1 buggy going from medina area :thumbsup:

what kind of turnout for nitro is expected tommorrow? Is it warm enough down there to break in a new motor?

It's a Point Series race for them TMO so I'm sure they will have a good turnout. It is pretty warm also they heat in the pits and the track.

new track layout at CRCRC.

Some videos from Sunday's electric race can be found here:
