Kamloops "River Family Festival" race is on Sunday July 28th. We will be setting up from 7:30 am onwards. Registration will be 9:30 to 10:00 am, and racing will start at 11:00 am.
This is a demonstration race, and will attract a large number of spectators. There is no entry fee, (and no trophies, either), and will be run as a club level race.
The track is pavement, with a slightly different track design for "On Road" cars and "Off Road" cars. Essentially the Off Road cars will take several jumps, while the On Road cars will detour around them. The track will be about 100ft x 60 ft, and will be very similar to next year.
Confirmed classes are: Monster Trucks (gas or electric), Touring Cars (Electric stock) and Off Road Trucks. If there are enough Nitro Touring Cars, they will have their own class....if only one or two show up, they will run with the electric cars. The Off Road class includes both trucks and buggies, but no 4wd's. Stock motors only, please. The Monster Truck class is intended to show off the T-Maxx trucks, which are so popular in Kelowna. We hope several Kelowna drivers will be here to show what their trucks can do. Locally we have an E-Maxx and a Monster Pirate, to make up the numbers. We will also have a 1/10th Gas Truck race if we have at least four trucks entered.
All electric based heats will be 5 minutes (qualifiers and mains), while Nitro based heats will be 5 minute qualifiers and 15 minute mains.
This is a really good opportunity to display our sport at its best to a very large number of people, so please, lets have a good turnout !
