I would run these

Stock SC
Mod SC
2wd buggy mod
2wd buggy stock - if there is enough to run it.
mod truck

Really what is the point of running stock buggy. put a mod in it. same with truck.
the reason i say to stick with stock SC, is because there is a huge gathering of it. obviously it is the bread and butter of RC right now. there is no better way to get into this sport than with a stock SC. obviously those guys dont want to be overwhelmed by modified motors, and having to dump huge amounts of cash into there trucks to make them fast.

when the indoor season starts up, im done with stock SC. time to get some balls and motor up. i feel a 10.5 or even a 13.5 is perfect for the indoor track for SC, especially with the Tekin speedos where you can change timing boost.

Honestly I just hope my work slows down enough so I can get out and race ! Lookin forward to the indoor season !

Hah its about time!:thumbsup:

Now you say this Kyle! Would have won the a main if you werent there saturday! LOL Would have won several races this summer if you werent there! But it sure is making better having you there youve been a big help with setup and watching ur lines on the track has been a big help, now if i can just watch whats going on inside ur head! LOL

LOL, thanks. Its been awesome racing with you Mike. I really wont know what to do when your gone. You better keep in touch.

I would run mod motors in everything now, but I dont have time to switch the truck from stock to mod for each race. then after that you do it 8 times during the day, it just gets old. I could build another SC for mod, but im in the process of trying to come up with a different car than an SC and a truck... we will see which route I go for that. - lots of options, and I am looking at them all.

As far as running only mod, I dont want to do that because all the fun is in stock class. Yeah you can run with the 4x4 guys, but it isnt the same. I like stock because it has alot of competition. everyone is really close as far as speed, and it comes down to wheeling the truck. Also its less of a headache because your not trying 50 different sets of tires hoping 1 set will give you bite.

I would agree with mod buggy, much more fun. it keeps up cheeper people out of the speedo wars

Ill still be around for the big ones, especially at the proving grounds. Those guys have been great to me and i have had a blast learning from some of the best and worst in michigan. I like running my stock truck in mod and kicking some tail but it has put me at a huge disadvantage a few times now. I might be switching motors back and forth for the morl at pg i have hard time keeping up with 17.5 as fast as that track is.

Stock Buggy bugs me, no pun intended, and with the success of super stock truck we should try 13.5 buggy. Fill that void between mod and stock and hopefully gain some popularity.

13.5 in a buggy sounds good! I'm in. along with stock sct.

New buggy showed up today and 13.5 goin in ! Paul, pigs will fly when you show up with a buggy.

I accept your invitation.:thumbsup:

Taking bets he drives it once and its up for sale. Anyone, anyone? Pays 3 to 1 !

:):):):)

I aint believen it till I see with me own eyes !

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Don- the s.o.b. wins with a bandit. I need a little more practice with the buggy.:thumbsup:

..............

beat him with a stick.:thumbsup:

Well watch closely because if he wheels this buggy like he used to wheel one a few yrs ago he will be in the top three on the podium. Then again you both could win with a tin can and four Tonka tires.:thumbsup:

So you are sayin he drives a buggy better than a truck then?

Yes I do!

I think you try to sell bridges too !

Everything has a price, and I can sell it.:dude:

6PM Big Race is open to any class, not just SC.

We are 6 weeks away from the State Championship race at Proving Grounds. Final details will be announced very shortly. I will post the information here and also send out a mass email to everyone who I have emails for. If you would like to be added to my email list, please send me a PM with your email information and I will add you. Thanks!

Do you have any idea on the schedule on the 13th? Like when racing will start and such. Its a long haul for me and trying to get an idea when I might have to leave or get a hotel the night before.

Thanks!

Pretty sure we will open the doors early, like 7:00AM and I would like to start racing by 10:00AM so we can be done before it gets late. Friday night will be an open practice for anyone who is racing.

oooooh, well since i work nights and will get outta work at 1am and a little over a 3hr drive, looks like itll be tough to make this one.

2nd Annual Michigan State Off-Road RC Championships Sponsored by Castle Creations hosted by Virus Racing and Proving Grounds, Jenison Michigan.

All of the summer racing series are completed, November 13 is quickly approaching, so it’s time to start thinking State Championships! The State Championships will have two divisions of racers allowed to compete.

First, the “Invitational Racers”. In order to qualify into this group, you must have competed and finished in the top 5 in any of the A-Mains for the MORL, FTMS or VRL Series this summer. In other words, the best racers from each of these series get a chance to go head to head with each other for the State Champion title.

Second, we will host the “Open Racers” division for the State Championships. This is open to any racer who either did not make it out to race in the summer series, or did not have a finish in the top 5 in any of the A-Mains. You will compete against each other for the Open State Championship titles.

Official Sponsors Castle Creations and Team Associated.

To simplify things, each racer is allowed to enter up to 5 classes’ total. Trophies will be provided for 1st – 3rd place finishers in each of the A-Mains. Entry fee’s will be $30 for your first class and $15 for each additional entry. Friday November 12 will be an open practice for anyone planning to race in this event. Doors open 7:00AM November 13 and racing starts promptly at 10:00AM. Available Classes are as follows (Must have a minimum of 6 entries in order to make a class official):

The Morl masters class uses the 13.5 motor and the Ftms masters uses a 10.5 which motor are allowing at the state race??????

How do you plan on keeping the Open Racer Class and the Invitational Racers separate in the scoring program?

Hey Revo I dont see my name up there? What gives?

Plan was to run the 13.5 in Masters.

How do you plan on keeping the Open Racer Class and the Invitational Racers separate in the scoring program?
Still need to discuss that with you, several ideas ranging from "simple" to "this sucks" but need your thoughts on it. One would be creating a few new classes in the scoring system, which I believe it can do. Like add "Stock Buggy Open" so we can run Stock Buggy and Stock Buggy Open classes at the same time and that would keep everyone separate. That would be the "simple" answer, the "this sucks" answer would be to move the outdoor scoring system inside (which we will end up doing before winter anyway) set it up and run two separate races at the same time side by side, just got to switch over the loop between heats. I am open to any other ideas you may have that will do the same job easier too, just let me know.

Hey Revo I dont see my name up there? What gives?
Once Northern Lights is completed, tomorrow night I will add those names. But Im still leaving yours out!

Northern lights? When does this race start? indoors? stock buggy?

Northern lights is a shortcourse points series. Saturday night is the last one. But it is ran with the normal program so yes even you apple can participate! Come on out and bring your stock buggy!
