Hey Left Front Tire.....have you seen the photos of my track? I'll be getting a lap counter soon. Tonight, i am masking and painting a losi LM body to put on my slash, got a few other people doing that as well. I know woodstock is a haul from rome for a non-commercial type race, but it should still be fun. I plan on runninglap races, not timed ones. Like, a 200 lap enduro, battery swap race, hell, i can do anything i want, i'm all grown up and have my own track lol.
Would love to come run with you guys. How many you got racing? Rules?
Woodstock's not that far. We used to tow a full scale to Dixie every weekend.

just a bit of track info.....
10' wide straights
15' wide corners
210' centerline
as for rules.........so long as it is SCT based....go for it. Its an arms race. I fugure eventually there will be a set up that works this track as best it can be worked.

Awesome track! It's like a super speedway with really tight turns. You need a fast car, but you still have to drive it. What did you use for the outside wall? Like the grass infield also.
I noticed you have Bowties on your car. I was wondering if they are the clay compound or something different? I have a set of the clay compound and I'm not overly impressed with them on a clay surface. For indoor concrete with some traction additive, they work great.

Thanks for the compliments. The outside wall is made from painted 1/2 and 3/4 inch plywood. I had the clay trucked in in. The grass is rebels shade mix. If the weather ever gets good again, I'll plant the rest of the infield so it looks nice and pretty.

I use 70 or higher in the right front. Left front doesn't matter too much, but I like it to be soft. Right rear, about 50 - 60 and left rear 40 - 50. I played with mine a lot last year and never found a perfect set up since I run on several different tracks. This seemed to work well as a whole though.

My lap counter is on its way. I'm gonna start up a website. Currenly, the name is Rash Raceway. I'm entertaining new names. I named it Rash Raceway b/c i was going to carve out a stencil and paint on one of the boards, but after carving out other stuff, i had nerve damage in my thumb and hand and made it as short as possible. Post up some names, if you post up the winning name, you win 100 trillion dollars.

We run SCLM here at NewRed Hobbies in Ocala. It is an entry level class (as it should be). OEM parts, SC Tires, RTR equip or 17.5/no timing speedos and slap on a body. The idea is to buy the kit, put the body on and race. It seems to be equal between the rtr equip and those who go with a brushless for the maintenance ease. If you want to go faster than that its time to move up to another class. The racers in it like the slower speed because they can bump and bang and not worry about it much.
