Classes we have had so far this year
10th scale run what ya brung
1/8 Nitro Buggy and Sportsman Buggy
1/8 Nitro and Electric Truggy

Last week we combined the sportsman and pro classes, this allowed us to fill the heats and shorten the race program considerably.

So what is the St Louis Dirtburners Series Round 1 that is supposed to start this weekend?
http://events.rcsignup.com/events/di...t.cfm?ID=3839#
Also about series races. Is it for sure that the Futaba race will be part of the US Pro Cup series this year? Have not been able to find much info about this series, the dirt website is down, but didn't have anything on there last time I checked. Is this confirmed yet?

From the DB facebook page..Xray and AKA are two of the first sponsors for our point series starting next Saturday April 26th. Xray is putting up some big prizes for the winners at the end of the series and AKA is giving prizes for each race starting next week! We are working on more sponsors and will keep you posted. Hope to see everyone come out! Pass the word in the racing community and let's make this a fun series!
Lunch will be provided as well as a few other prizes.
Guys if you come see me at the track I usually have a couple of bins of tires at the track for sale. Right now if you guys are looking to get AKA tires join the club. Even the team drivers are having trouble getting anything.
We are just waiting for final conformation on the US series racing combing with the Futaba race. There is several stars that have to line up just right. So far it looks good, but there is no definite announcement at this time.

Josh told me Wednesday he was waiting to hear from joey that day... I will ask him if he has heard more today... we need to get it announced if so so the people that have already signed up for the futaba race can be warned it's extended a day and make a decision if they can still come

Thabks for the update. Hope I can make it out Saturday. Will definitely need some tires.

Yeah if the Futaba race does become part the UsPro Cup tour and goes to the big race schedule with limited practice. Then open practice is gone for Friday and most likely no open practice at all. 2 rounds of controlled practice then 3 qualifiers. Not much track time for someone running 1 class. Hopefully the price isn't raised just because of this. The series is for the pro driver and not any other class that wins money at the end of the series.

Tubes are pulled and wheeler is on the way with the bobcat

Why would there need to be a track rebuild at all? Especially at Friday afternoon when we are to race tomorrow. I know last year there was a last minute rebuild like this and the track was terrible with a bunch of dirt clods in the rebuilt section. The layout seems fun and flowing as it is.
I do hope the UsPro series does not come to DB if it is going to add a day to the program. I think one reason the Futaba race is a regional seccess are the days are only 3 day and the price is ok with good racing and a bunch of great raffle give always. All the othe UsPro series races are $70 or more for each class with no discounts for multiple classes.

I personally think this is awesome. There arent really any really large events in our area during the outdoor season. I dont see this as bad for DB at all no matter the consequences. If anything it will gain interest for our track.
Cant wait for the point series!

It's not a full rebuild they are just going to change a few things. We ran that layout from the end of July last year unchanged until this week. It was time. We are doing what we can during the week so we don't miss any Saturdays. This was a huge problem for us last year. Cancel one week for rebuild, then it rained the next 3 weekends in a row and everyone is upset they haven't raced in a month.
