18th scale Track Times?

[chicagokenji]

For those of you who race 18th scale or 14th scale vehicles on a carpet track that is intended for 18th scale vehicles, (not a 10th scale track on a 18th scale race night), what are your average laptimes during racing?

I'm talking about 25-40 foot straightaway kind of tracks that might have 4 foot lanes in an aprox 20ftx35 foot layout.

Just wondering.

5-6 seconds for me & kris at my track. 8 Seconds or so for the stock class.

lately, our track (50'x25') has been averaging a 11.5 for stock(180 motor, 6 cell), and 10 flat for open mod. depends on the layou tthough, mod times have been up in the 12's on a tighter layout

Hey Kenji,
Lap times at Leisure can vary between 6.7 and 7.0 seconds at best for the fastest guys depending on the layout.

thanks guys.

Building a layout for 1/18th and 1/28th and I was just wondering how it was comparing.

I just built a new 18th track two weeks ago on asphalt. Painted lanes and polymer based sealer for the lanes. The layout is 42 X 36 with 6' wide lanes and a 7' wide 42' long front straight.
Our lap times are very similar to what "geeunit" posted above.

I think a track with 11 second stock, and 8 - 9 second mod racing is just right. Pick below

Wow, that's a great looking project.

Texas...outdoors in February?

It's exactly 0 degrees Farenheit right now, here. My heat bill will probably be 350 bucks this month.
