MMR Direct Fall Winter Spring Carpet Racing

[ammdrew]

Correct. We will run any class that is not a division of a current class as long as they have two or more racers and it does not add too much time to the day.

You can only burn a candle at both ends and even then it gets tricky. For 1/18th to continue to run a weeknight program we would expect a similar turnout to what we saw last year and the majority would not run on sundays. Therefore instead of promoting overracing of 18th we will run them but will promote them for the weeknight program.

10-4 Just going off of the first posting in this thread listing that as part of the Sunday program.

Andrew, do you have a date for installation of the carpet?? Will it be the size of the RCP now, or larger maybe?

[ammdrew]

first time you will be on the rug will be the first race date.


size depends, we have raced on rcp from full space to club space.

club track is always 40 x 60 (36 x 60) with carpet

event tracks, weekend races 50 x 100(max), or 48 x 100(max) with carpet give or take depending on layout.

[ABspeed]

I really don't mind the RCP, If anything it was a little hard on my sedan foam tires, but after the edges rolled off, they have been very consistent in the wear. That being said, it is going to be just so great to have a permanent carpet track to practice and run on.....

You must not be planning to glue it down if you are going to vary the size. I believe that not gluing is actually better for performance anyway. I am sure you know way more about that than me.

August 30 awaits!

I am building my new 1 cell VTA Car to run this fall.I am very excited to have some close racing action at MMR.

[ammdrew]

yes the 3 cell / 1s Lipo VTA should be awsome race. keeps the speeds out of the sedan speeds and keeps the car durable with incredible close racing. and really not much off on speed as Jess has been proving all summer.

Glad to hear there will be carpet there! A 48 x 100 sized track would be really good sized. Where's my 3.5 turn at?

[ammdrew]

Yep plenty good size.

Bring it on. Have no problem with the 5.5 in the space for the offroad races.

for most I think better laps will come from 7.5l or 8.5l though as even single cell/ 3 cell nimmh with lower winds is a land missle

stock should be a great class with most getting around very well.

30 days until carpet racing. Tick tock tick tock

[ABspeed]

R5 build up is coming together. Electronics next. Think I will start the year with some mod brushed stuff. I just have so darn much of it left laying around, exp mod.

[ammdrew]

Speed will not be the issue most of us drive over our heads anyways. Can't say I would not do the same if I had it in the box.

I am going to run 3 cell nimmh. Just a question if it will be in the 12th or the vta.



26 days.
