Do you race every Friday night? How many electric racers are there? What's the popular electric class?

i think it is about 650 feet, fast guys are running 34 sec laps, some down to 31ish. electrics are coming out now, get around 6-10 buggies and a few trucks, depends on who shows up. the track is great for electrics, i was getting better laps times with my old jr-xt than my gas truck!

The track is 120'x85' with a 3' high raised pit lane and a 40'Lx8'Wx10'H. For the State Race we had it @ 650' which was downsized from 800'.

We are close to 10 2wd buggies and around 5 st. trucks....on a regular basis. Since we seem to be attracting more guys and gals each Fri nite.... We are getting buggies w/Novak 5.5, LiPos. and 12t doubles. The (2)quals are 6 min each and so is the main.

The gas guys run (2) 5 min quals and a 10 min main. Bring you stuff out and run with us. I know you won't be dissappointed..

Our races are run smooth and effecient, AMBRC personals, PA system, bright -lights, roomy drivers-stand and our track that is maintained and run on daily..

Hope this info helps......

buggies are kind of run what ya got, we have brushless, mod, stock, and beginner(box stock) running. most of our club races are like that, not enough cars to break it down to mod, stock, brushless, li-po, etc.
