Can't wait

What time does racing start? Single car qualifying to set up the heats might be fun to try during one of these bigger events.

Bring it on!!!

We used to use a light trap to single car qualify. Setup as a 5 minute race and run as many as you can for 3 laps in that time..right?

I saw it done once, this summer on dirt. It was fun. Gives it a more realistic feel. Didn't take too long, about 20 seconds per racer. I think they just set the computer on practice mode, printed out a order in which to qualify, each racer got two laps, I think they just wrote down the best lap then sorted the heats by that. Mr. christmas set fast time then it was all downhill from there, lol.

We did it in Granby a couple years after Salvas suggested it, it was pretty fun.

If everyone remembers we use to do that at the Salvation army with the old counting system,so it's nothing new to us,just got figure out how to do it on this system.i will look in to it tomorrow.Bob is right we will have to start doing this early so it will cut in to practice time.i believe the race is starting earlier that day anyways,Neil can confirm this.

come test your skills at the toughest little short track in upstate ny my guess is 116 enterys

we used to do 3 lap qualifying runs at the track i had in Chateaugay and it seemed to work out very well. Time was the only drawback. If everyone is ready to go when they are up it doesn't take long but if some guys aren't ready then you have to go back in the program and that is what took all the extra time. Can't wait for this race it's always a good one!! I think you will have to run a 92 @ 502 to make the A in 17.5 ??

WOW Is the only word I have to Say The Autumn Blast was just that a BLAST.

Thanks to Dan, Neil and the entire LCRC Crew Its the only track that I know of that can put a show on like you guys do week in and week out.

Oh and it was a NEW Autumn Bast Record with 70-71 Entrys!!!!!! WOW

Thanks to Dee for keeping us fed all day, and to Erica for giving Dee some much needed Help.

Other Issues At hand were talked about and even tested and Decisions Made. This is the only place I have seen that will take the time and talk and work with the racers and for the racers and what will most benefit everyones best interests to keep racers coming back.

Congrats to everyone at the LCRC Club on a Great Start to the Season and A Big THANK YOU Again.

OPPS almost for got Neil and The awesome deals in the Hobby Shop!!!!!

See everyone Next Week! :thumbsup:

What another great race at LCRS. The autumn blast was defientely a BLAST! With 71 racers and great door to door racing all day long. If you missed it, you should have been there.
Tommygun was in the b main with 92 laps. just crazy!
Congrats to wade and chris w. for the first to run 99 laps in 13.5 1c.
The new speedo is just crazy fast. 97 laps with a 17.5 and a 50c battery. thats 5 laps faster than the semi pro. I think once more people get this speedo it will be the super pro class. Having it in the 13.5 class is like putting a 10.5 in the car its just crazy shit.

So remember the new speedo is not legal at the track at all until a new class is made.

I would like to take my hat off to Dan, Neil, Tony, Donald, and whoever else helped out to put a awesome show. Also to Denise and Erica for the great food all day. Service with a smile all day!
Congrats to all the TQs and winners in all classes.
See ya,
Fireball

I knew racing would be close, but did not think I would be 1.6 seconds from TQ and not even make the A-main and miss the main by only .003, yep 3 THOUSANDTHS of a second! lol. That's awsome. Thanks again to the crew!
