You know it!!!
I'll try and get some pic's up soon:

The bastard of brushless motors (13.5) seems to be the choice for racers running 12th scale.
In stock TC it seems to be mixed, 13.5, brushed, lipo and Nimh.
Then there is the BIG!!! Johnson class. Those guy have fun.

The guys running 13.5/19t 1/12th can keep it. I think I'm gonna stick with a teeny weeny 17.5 in my car for now. Now if I can just get my rubber clad sedan to work....

Well since I don't have a brushless as of yet, I think i'll keep running stock.

Here are the results form Saturday.

Hey Fred, is there anyway to have our lap averages printed out on the results? I'm curious in the difference between that and my fastest lap. I know it's not pretty, but I'm working on it.

Bill.

That would be great! The top five and top ten are pretty worthless as it factors in the short lap.

I also have a 17.5 and li-po on the way for my 1/12th and sedan testing. The last time I seriously raced 1/12th scale I couldn't drive a real car... (well legally, I still can't drive actually.....) And the chassis had slots for six cells..

Terry Rott made a pack for his 12th by wiring 3 small cells in Pharrell. Of course he needs to run a receiver pack as well.

Default ROAR track affiliation

RCRCR will become 2008 Roar affiliated.
Along with that I will be sending in my Family annual membership application.

With that we will receive:

* Roar affiliation Certificate and Club number for the current calender year.
* A copy of Roar's Official rule book containing scale and safety rules.
* Rule updated during the year on Roar's website.
* $ 1 Million Liability coverage for our roar races.
* Additional insured insurance application if our track requires it.
* Sanctioned event application for racing events.
* Eligibility to bid on regional and national championship events
* Free listing of our club on roar website.

I would like to encourage each of our hobbyist to consider your membership.
I feel that it is our responsibility as R/C hobbyist to be affiliated and members of a sanctioning body.
