The reggie's will be open when they are set up. I havent received that confermation yet, but I will post it as soon as I know.

There will be no electric 8th scale buggy's,truggys or monster trucks allowed.

That's the stupidest decission I've ever heard of. Suckfest!

[Gordkoff]

I'm going too get my popcorn... this could get good...

[martyman]

WOW -harsh
This is a club race and that is what we have decided.

[CoryD]

True Story.

So why allow 1/10 electric and not 1/8? Makes very little sense.

[Will61]

No electrics?

[martyman]

It was determined that we would have to fill 1/8 electric buggy and truggy and MT 10 minimum to race in their own class,as we didn't want the "unfair advantage"and "pit controversy" arguments to consume us as they have in the past by running electrics with nitro.
Unfortunately this may stress our time constraints to have all these classes and not to mention the additional cost for the trophys.

I hope we can call this a dead isue as I am not willing to get into this any further.

I race enough electrics during the carpet season.....bring on the nitro!!! Truthfully I think we should follow what large events throughout the world are doing, and I believe we are doing that. Thanks to all the Red Deer guys for your hard work getting this race ready.

WOW !!!!!!!!


I mite have missed it but I have to ask
about the 1/12 4wd truggy are they in or out

[maniac mechanic]

Not 100%, but sure hope I can make it again this year. Can't wait.
My even bring the T4 along to embarass myself. It's all good.

Just to clarify, does the 2wd electric truck class include buggies or the converted T4's (J82)?
