This is going to be one of the best racers this year. brand new track no bumps . the owner is working real hard to make it the best race ever. You have to like that. Two hours fro k/n in ct or under if you drive like me.

Hey Bojo...any discussion on what the weekly racing will be...what day ect.....Coming from Mass....I could be there often depending on what day...

I hear oval racing is planned for Sundays starting in November. With on-road racing being run on Saturdays. The owner had mentioned some races being planned for before the November points series starts. I think the only one scheduled so far is the trophy race. It is a very nice place. I was impressed when I made the trip up to check it out. It is clean and well organized. And most importantly the owner is a very nice guy. I look forward to spending some Sundays in Maine this winter.

Brando we are there every sunday doing oval. I will be bringing flyers to Gilford on tues for the trophy in sept. It is one of the nice's tracks around.You will have to make the trophy. Bud every sunday we practice for now.7.00 dollars from 11 to 5. you should ckeck out and tell Nick and mike V

I'll try to make the september trophy race extravaganza super duper insane race :tongue: lol. Nick will probably go as well... Anybody for mod????

Mike Voccola

Is ROAR membership required for weekly racing?

pedone...Yes roar membership is required for weekly racing..I spoke to someone at the

Hello everyone,

I thought I would chime in with a few answer to your questions.

First- All racers must be R.O.A.R members to race at our facility. The cost for a new member is $25 for a year if you sign up at Maximus.

Second - Sunday will be the day for oval racing and it will start early. We will be releasing our schedule on Sept 1st so sign up for our eList and get it before it is even posted on the web. eList Link - www.teammaximus.com/images_pop/carpet.html

Thanks for the interest in our facility - Maximus

I'm just curious, why would you force anyone that wants to race at your track to become a ROAR member ??? We were planning on coming down for your SOS race but, are now rethinking it because we would not be racing there on a weekly basis so, we have no other use for the ROAR membership. Let me know, thank you.


Bob T

I know you understand my concern Dennis....Fact is there is a few guys that

sundays are not good for...I would think the K/N regulars would stay next to thier home track on Sundays....Who would want to drive 4+ hrs the day before

going back to work when within 20 min;s or so they are at K/N....Anyway..I will make as many races as I can because we need to support our Hobby shops

in New England....I just wish everyone didnt race the same day....see you in a couple of weeks

I'm just curious, why would you force anyone that wants to race at your track to become a ROAR member ???

Bob T

Bob,

I am glad to hear that you are thinking about coming to our S.O.S event.

If you are a ROAR member and you are racing at a ROAR affiliated track (Maximus R/C Raceway) you receive the following:

$1,000,000 Liability Insurance protection
$10,000 Accident Medical Insurance

Simple Example: Racer is corner marshaling and trips and breaks his/her arm (a random accident). That racer would have $10,000 Accident Medical Insurance Coverage through ROAR.

We feel that is a reasonable amount of coverage for $25 a year.

Thanks again and I do hope you choose to race at our track. - Maximus

Maximus,
If I were a ROAR member which, I used to be, then according to ROAR rules, pg 17 paragraph 2-82 under Awards, I would not be able to race in the S.O.S. event because, you are awarding CASH prizes which is against ROAR affiliation. I'm not trying to be a jerk and I don't have anything against ROAR. I think, I see why you are requiring people to sign up for a ROAR membership and I hope that your track is very successful because it looks like a very nice facility. Good Luck

Bob T

Bob,

This is not a Roar Sanctioned Event, with that being said, does that rule still apply or only in effect relevant to Nationals, Regionals Events etc? I don't have a rule book, so I cannot refer to that paragraph.

Jim

Jim,
That is a good question but, if your going to be a track where you must have a ROAR membership to race, you would think that every event run at the track would be run by ROAR rules, maybe not ?? I just thought that if were trying to be a ROAR track and they don't afiliate with racing for CASH, why would you ?? By the way, ROAR rules are on the web at; www.roarracing.com This is just my 2 cents

Bob T

Bob,

Thank you for bring this to our attention. With all that has been going on with the opening of our facility this has slipped by us.

Since you are 100% correct we will no longer be offering the cash prizes.

We will be posting the alternative prizes on our website immediately.

http://www.teammaximus.com/sos/update

Maximus

Only trophies for the top 3 in the "A"? I would rather see the cash prize money that is no longer needed go to additional trophies for all cars in the A and the top 3 in the B and C if possible.

Mike Voccola

I'll be honest.....
I think that is the better solution...Iv done money races before and
have been the victim of rough driving to win the prize.....which would turn alot of people off...That is not what you want at a Grand Opening event....I bet most racers would agree....Give out some free stuff and make it a fun event...That is more important to Highlite you new track....Looking forward to the event...will be there in 2-3 weeks to set up my cars...MobileMike..you and nick want to go up together?..

Anyone gonna be there this Sunday for Practice?...Anyone been running on this track.?
Is there a groove being put down ior is it real green...?

Yeah I am pretty sure we will make the 25th and 26th

Bud,

I think there should be racers at the track on Sunday to practice. The surface itself has only have a handful of days with cars practicing, however, I was on the track the first opening oval day, and there was good traction to start. :thumbsup:

Jim

bud I have been there every sunday .and there will be pleaty there. I will be there at buy 11 am. Bob we are all coming to your race iI help to get alot of racers at your last one 86 racers .so please try and come.we never see any of your races other then Maine big race. so lets help this new track out.

I was considering coming down to race in the S.O.S. event and I want to support the new track but, I have been a ROAR member and I have no desire to become one again. I personnally don't feel that I benefit from being a ROAR member. It has nothing to do with not wanting to support your new track, I would love to but, those are my feelings.

Bob T

what would happen if we all boycott your track last year you would be closed right know .just my 2 cents. I will pay your ROAR fee if you come

you know...Bojo has a point...we got to support all our tracks in New England...25.00
to join roar...thats not a bad deal...

........

Dennis you going to the trophy ? See if pace and them are going?

What are the days for oval practice there???

Bojo,
That's not fair, it's not about not wanting to support the track or the 25.00 ROAR membership fee, it's about being forced to join an organization in order to race at a particular track. Thank you for the offer to pay for my ROAR membership but, I don't want to be a member, that is the point. We don't need you to be a ROAR member to race at our track. For the people that are going to race there on a weekly basis I think being a member is fine but not for someone that will probably only race there once or twice a year. I hope you understand.

Bob T

The cost for the Roar membership can always be a tough decision, as Rob has pointed out. Racing at a facility that requires this membership with intent for only racing 1-5 times a year as a racer, might not be in that racers best interest. However, where the Maximus race only cost $25.00 to race and $10.00 for additional classes, an additional $25.00 for a year for Roar, might not be too much for having another track to race. Other tracks charge upwards of $35.00 for each class at a large event. No doubt local racers will take advantage of the track and sign up with Roar. Out of town racers may, since they might race some Roar event with in the next year at Maximus or another track. Hope everyone makes it to the big race. :thumbsup:

Jim

ps. Rob, is Chris Walsh planning on coming down?

I also hope everyone makes it to the big race and I hope that Maximus is very successful, we need all the good tracks that we can get in New England. My views are not meant to influence anyone, they are only my oppinion. Again I hope the S.O.S. race is a huge success and everyone has fun:thumbsup: , that's what's important. I will see if I can find out if Chris is planning on making the trip.

Bob T
