I am starting this thread to provide infomation and comments about RC Racing in the Grand Rapids Area

Sup Tony,

-Dustin

Thanks Tony.

TONY i think you and your son do a great job running track and well have a good track indoors. :cool:

Marty made a statment Saturday that needs to be corrected. The elevator will be available to people that are not able to climb stairs, like Dave Walton.
The elevator will not be available to anyone else.
Sorry.

The last race at Riders will be Oct 9th.
That will give us couple of weeks to get the indoor track ready.
I still working out some details and should have the flyers ready soon.

.... :)

Darn glad you guys got a place to race this year. Would've looked more silly than usual with a new sedan and nowhere to break it.....
What car did you get Bill??

We have gotten a lot of support from Riders and from the good turnout this summer. We will do everything we can to provide a great track this winter.

Thanks Tony.When you'll right, you'll right.
Thank you!

Well guys I wish you all the best of luck! This should be a very interesting indoor season.. You guys should work out the times to where people can race both tracks.. just my 2 cents..

Stairs? :confused:

I think i was gone for too long. :rolleyes:

I have a proposed layout of the track that I would be glad to show to anyone.

Well I'm sure I'd want to use the foams again.. I was also wondering if It would be ok to use the Stock SS4300 Brushless motor this year? I got the super sport system now, but if it's allowed I'll pick up the stock one too!

I hope they put brushless in there own class or that they should run with mod.But that will be up to Marty and Tony. In the past we ran rubber and foam in a seperete class so why not do it with motors a brushless is not STOCK.

The 4300 is considered a Stock motor.
The 5800 is considered a mild mod.

.... :)

personally, i would allow brushless with the stock, as long as its the 4300. basically, stock racing, in general, is all about the batteries anyway. gngrats tony on the track, i guess ive been away too long as well.

sup, jesse

That is what I was thinking.

im open for either way, if im slower, ill find a way to be faster

sup, jesse

im open for either way, if im slower, ill find a way to be fasterCool, bring your electric stuff out thursday.

you know me, im all about nitro right now, dont want to get my warpspeed electric car dirty.

dont have any electronics in it

We are not sure how to handle this. We will wait and see who wants to run them and how everybody else feels.

If we choose not to run the 4300 brushless system what are we going to do about the fact that the brushless motors have bearings, and the regular motors have bushings?????

I'm personnally against it.

Whats up guys! On the previous thread there was talk about battery discharge tray. What kind was it?

Between the two tracks practice on a Friday will be cool. :thumbsup:

Jessie I sent you a PM.

Is there going to be pit tables there for us to use and chairs?If not is there some place to leave them?

Are you guys going to run a Mini-z class or a mini-t ?My wife already has a Mini-Z. Anybody else what to run them?If you where to run mini -t I think we would have to pick one up.

Are you guys going to run a Mini-z class or a mini-t ?My wife already has a Mini-Z. Anybody else what to run them?If you where to run mini -t I think we would have to pick one up.We are planning a small track just for the Mini-Z ,and other 1/18 scale cars. We will also run Mini-T stadium races. I am not sure which track the Mini-T's will race on. We are building all new pit tables.

Hi,
I used to race a long time ago and am thinking of starting again. Are there going to be two indoor tracks in GR this winter? Can you guys tell me where they are and if either will have 12th scale? Thanks!

All we need is 3 or more 1/12 scale and we will have a race.

Where are the two tracks? Thanks.

How are we gunna keep the Children out of the Chemical dip buckets that the company needs access too?

I just recall there being a series of 8 or so buckets filled with acid or some kind of caustic chemicals for cleaning parts or something. And one was on a timer that couldnt be disturbed if memory serves me right.

Just wondering, seems like it could be a hazard. :confused:

I know of at least 4 of us already planning on running 1/12th scale.

I am going to try it again. So I am looking for a car right now and hopefully everyone will not give up in the middle of the season.
