Signup is now live for Calgary's 2 Trophy races for the 2014 racing season.

Please use RCSignup if at all possible, this makes things easier to organize come race day, but registration will be available at the track as well if you're unsure how to use that new internet thing everyone keeps talking about.

Rescheduled "Rocky Mountain Meltdown" is on September 19th-21st

For the Meltdown race this year we're going to try running a 2wd Buggy\Truck class. Interested? Come out and give it your best shot!

Hey guys will you be running the 2wd buggy class for the nitro stampede in aug?
and will you be doing any other 1/10th scale classes besides short coarse?
thanks

I think the Meltdown turnout with 2wd should determine whether it's run at any other races. I'd love to run 2wd buggy and 2wd truck, but that's just me.

I see all the races are listed as an Arcor event, is this going to be a points series? Any special rules like tech, motor size, etc? I can't find anything online regarding Arcor.

Regarding campers being allowed to park at the Calgary track. I'm not sure if we have room for any or not, but if we do it would be very..very limited. Will post this info as soon as it is known.

Regarding the ARCOR series thing. Mark is more aware of what's going on in that regard, so maybe when he reads this (I'll ask him as well) he will elaborate further. From what I've heard to this point the Rocky Mountain Meltdown will not be a part of any possible ARCOR series in regards to any points, but the Battle at the Bend (Red Deer), Nitro Stampede (Calgary), Shootout (Medicine Hat), Cruise Weekend (Saskatoon) races might be. Like I said, I'm not 100% sure but hopefully this will be cleared up and figured out between the clubs soon.

I'm not too experienced with the ARCOR organizing side of things Dyno, but the previous ARCOR races were run with a real simple and easy format. There was no actual tech per say, just simple honor system type rules like 2s packs for 1/10th, .21 engines for buggies....

Oh yeah......to explain the 2wd Buggy thing for the Meltdown race and not the Stampede....Like was said above the Rocky Mountain Meltdown definitely won't be a part of any possible ARCOR points series, so that's why it's been added to that race only.

I'll do my best to get more info asap.

Thanks bigwave that's the info I needed.

Dave is correct that our first race won't be part of the series. As for tech we don't have one unless we see/find something out of the ordinary. We do follow roar rules for all classes as a guide line. I'll have more by the weekend.

So having the nitro stampede not a part of any series and it being the first race of the two, are you still going to save the 2wd buggys and other 1/10th scale classes for the fall or will you try to get a few together for the stampede?
either way i will be bringing all my cars just in case but it would be a good idea to start running 1/10th scale classes because they are the shiz!
Am I missing a important poster that has the classes on them to avoid all my clutter of talk.
Anyways Castlegars race was great, weather and track conditions couldn't have been any better. Highly recommend coming down September 5 6 7.
Hope to see an awesome turnout for your Nitro Stampede.
I havent signed up online yet but im a forsure for

E buggy

Good point.

I see no reason why we can't offer 10th Scale 2wd (Mixed open wheel Truck\Buggy) at both races, so will add it to the signup and see how many register.

If anyone wants to come a little early to the nitro stampede we will still be having scheduled practice on thursday night from 6-sundown
