Centerline Racing

iTrader: (47)

Unfortunately, my decision to not attend the World of Wheels was due to Conner's lack of school effort and BAD grades last semester. Parental discipline! And, I can't see going alone because racing is mainly for and with him.

Also, in light of this spring's expected flooding, my duties with the sheriffs office require me to be available and help with these natural disaster situations starting this Saturday.

I hope it's a great race. Maybe next year will be able to make it.

Can anyone confirm my sign-up online? I'd like to swap 12th stock for VTA.

PM or email me. Looking forward to attending my first WOW race.

Thanks!

WGT is the biggest class at the Nats this wknd and we dont have any running in MN? I will be running one next year and I am sure a few others will too! Would be nice to be running the same batts and motors in WGT and 1/12 just like the rest of the country!
All packed and ready to rollout Friday morning!
See you all soon.....

Wgt just never took off here. We do a lot of things the rest of the country doesn't do anymore but it seems to be working for now anyways.

We run sedans on foam tires too unlike the rest of the country.

And truly, it's a better deal, big picture. Most WGT guys seem to be 1/12 fans. There is some parts interchangeability between the two cars if you go with matching brands. It's a big 1/12th car. 13.5, 1s, not to outrageous, but still PLENTY fast enough. Lot's of tire on the ground and cars that work great with low maintenance and setup.

and, AND, they help get the groove up to code more quickly.

I think some of the best races I've been involved in the last 3 years have all been in WGT. Not as finicky about setup as 1/12th either. I don't know that I've even tweaked mine this entire season.

Kind of a shame if you guys aren't doing it. It's a super fun class with less work than 1/12th or touring.

I would also add that doing what the rest of the country is doing encourages people to travel. When we were looking at the Minnesota state on-road champs race. First thing we noticed, no WGT, Mini wasn't what others were doing and VTA was 1s?!?! Open 12th instead of 13.5 or 10.5 like every place else. I'm not saying any of this is wrong, but most people racing aren't doing those classes so it makes your ability to pull racers even harder. So you're back to racing the same guys again, like a big club race... Where's the fun in that.

BUT, I will also say that you absolutely SHOULD be doing whatever works for your guys locally. If people demanded 1s VTA and your pulling big racer numbers, then good for you guys for being pro-active. If open 1/12th pulls more than 13.5 then once again, good job on reading the crowd. Gotta do what works and brings in the car count.

just makes it harder for folks that are interested in traveling to a big show.

Unfortunately RJ and I won't be making the trip this year either. He's definately bummed, but understands.

We did a lot of winter traveling around Region 5 and had fun and was looking forward to our 2nd trip to the DECC. We just can't justify the time away this year and would have to close the shop/track for 3 days to attend.

Mark S should be on his way sometime Friday I believe, so someone from down here will at least be up there.

I haven't been able to find info on how to get into the DECC yet. What door do we go in? Is there anything we saw to the ticket people to get in? Can we park somewhere near where we go in to unload? Stuff like that.

Thanks!

I wasn't sure if I'd pre-registered (ADD sucks) so I tried it again this morning. The site didn't really respond when I clicked on submit, so if you see about 4 entries from me, that's why.

In case my entries didn't make it in...
