[ammdrew]

Watch here for info in the upcomming carpet season. The new rug is in the house and working awsome.

Sunday Race schedule has been posted on the Cal since May. Make sure you check the dates if you have not noted them yet.

Sunday Classes Currently Planned.

1/12th Stock Single cell LIPO/3 cell Nimmh
1/12th SS-Mod Single cell LIPO/3 cell Nimmh

VTA MMR Spec Single cell lipo/3 cell Nimmh 17.5 or Brushed 27 turn

Stock Sedan
SS Sedan

1/18th MMR Spec

Novice, Chassis is open, all safty guidelines for batts must be met( no soft cell LIPO's) Driver may not race any other class. If a driver is able to manage the course in a competetive manor and there chassis fits into a exsisting class may move them into the correct class.


Option classes: These are classes that are new or resurecting. They will be run as long as they have two or more racers for the class and may be comboed with another class during the day. This is not a devider class, as in no other 12th, VTA, or Sedan option will be run. Racers in those classes need to conform to the rules package. A example class would be 1/10th offroad trucks, World GT, 1/10th Pan car.

Couple of quick notes as we are close to the Points Races.

First Points race heats will be set random. We will work to avoid back to back races and move accordingly, Also we will work to seperate groups who have traveled to race and Family members so they do not have to race each other..

2nd and following races will be set by Ability Points. Ability points are derived from your points standings.

Mains will be set by Top 9 drivers with the 10th driver Bumping in, If the class is marginal on the next main, ie 1 or 2 drivers in the C with 10 in the B we will run 3 or 4 in the lowest main and bump 2 drivers. This will be true of the b,c,d etc.

Example: 11 drivers in VTA, top 8 will go to the A, bottom 3 will race the B with two of the three bumping into the A.

12 drivers in VTA, top 8 will go to the A, bottom 4 will race the B with two of the Four bumping into the A

We expect to resort after the 2nd round. Currently that is the choice of the Top Qualifier of the largest class that day.

As long as we continue to see constant lap times through the day we will continue with Rocket Round qualifying. If we start to see a large lap time variation through the day we may switch to qual points to keep every qual important. This will not change on race day but will be annouced for future races. The last 2 races did not see any laptime improvements from round one.

Awsome I cant wait to drive the new 1/12. Will there still be other racing during the week?

[onroad dude]

3 cell NI-MN am i reading that right?

[lee]

Hows the balance going to work out on a 3 cell 1/12scale?

[simulatedwood]

Why not 3 1/2 cells ? Kidding .. I understand the need for parity. Are you enforcing a minimum wieght?
Finally decided to get some rug eah?
Cool beans... it's about time.

What we have seen in the past 7 months of testing is they are very equal. 3 cell to single cell lipo. So we are going to leave the wt at the ROAr min for 12th and adjust if needed.

3 cell balance in a T plate car way better then we have been able to balance a single cell.
speedo and single cell on same side two cells on the others and the remaining electronics can be used to balance.

3 cell nimh equals - no need for a new charger, i get to keep my FF07, batteries i have are still usable

single cell lipo and mod i might be able to handle

i will be tring the sedan this year.

What does 12th SS-Mod mean exactly. To me SS is 13.5, mod is open. Please clarify.

Now that's not to say a 13.5 won't be a good choice and plenty fast to win, but if it is really to be Mod, just say that? If it's mod, I will most likely buy a 10.5, or faster option becasue I already have a 13.5. Now if it is really 13.5, I may buy another one of those so I have for two classes. Others may be in the same boat.

Excited to run on new carpet at MMR.

[ammdrew]

13.5 single is a bit soft for our cutting edge racers so I fully expect to evolve to full mod but that means those who wish can still run a 13.5.

This will have a evolution through the preseason and will determine if it needs to be pulled back at that time. Though I am not forcasting that.

This will be based soley on track performance and actually racing results/issues/turnouts.

[ABspeed]

Thanks for the reply. I think that this class will be a big boost for several "cutting edge" guys in the area to take the chance and push their limits personnally, and as a group we will all get faster.

[ABspeed]

This way when Mitch and Yari come to town next year, they only put one lap on the field instead of two or three!

[haywood]
