The track is located at the very end of the "3 Mile Bend" road, located on Riverside Drive. Here is the link to the ClutchNutz website with further details: http://www.clutchnutz.ca/Map%20to%20track.htm

Can't remeber Red Deer City bylaws, but can my dog hang out with me at the track on a leash while we are racing there?

Hi all

I've never raced in something like this and have a couple of questions.

I have a Losi 8ight buggy RTR with a few upgrades like the shock towers, shock caps and an aluminum rear brace.
It still has the Mach 427 stock engine (with apx. 4 gal through it..LOL),
would this be allowed to run? According to the rules is would.

Also are there transponders available for rent at the track as I would need one.
If I decide to enter I would opt for the Sportsman's class.

Thanks.

If you have an oversized engine in your buggy it has to be the one that came with as an RTR. So you will be fine with the 427. There should be handout transponders at the track, and they just clip onto your body and you return them as soon as your race is finished. Definately come out and race though, CORCS races are really fun! You will learn tons too.

I was told you have to run the RTR tires if you want to run the RTR engine but im sure no one would have a problem with a first time racer running a .26 in sportsman.

Pretty much all that we have worried about has been engine. Guys have changed their servo's, tire's, towers, etc, and nothing has been done. But if the oversize engine came in the vehicle, you can run it.

Okay so this being said I need not worry about anything and will be allowed to run.

Thanks for the input guys.
