one of the problems i think my sons are having is they are running stock front tires. with the way the tread is i dont think they are biting in the turns. i run slicks in the front they bite good on the tracks we have run. i will try and get some video on sunday so we can see the difference between the slicks and the stock tires.

I tried tarmax buster and the stock tires. As I said before at the Peach Bowl since they run all scales we have to run street tires which I am sure slicks will be OK. The track is hard pack Georgia red clay. Hope one day to try some slicks.
Thanks

Hopefully Will and one of his sons will be coming maybe both so that is 3. Lord welling I will be there and I hoping you will be there Marko. So that is at least 4 more then the 3 minimal to make a class. Jimmy needs to try and get this in the local papers.

I will WHOOP ya'll in the SCLM class. I'll see if I can recruit some of my regulars to come down and race.

Is there some reason why this isn't being promoted in the GA thread?

Not sure if I have this particular race in the GA thread but I do have about the Peach Bowel track in it. I have found many times some do not go to the GA thread and get more exposure here.

On Dec. 3rd to race it is a $5 or more unwrapped toy and $15 to race. The track runs all scales and 3 made a class. Only rules for large scale is you must have a remote kill switch and have to run slicks or street tires. This is a fairly new track and just trying to get all the support I can.

I am not not owner just tying to help. The track is very well maintained and is about 360 feet.

Directions are,
Take interstate 75 to exit 205 go west towards Griffin on highway 16. Go through Griffin staying on highway 16 and about 10 miles (not sure just how far just guessing) after Griffin there will be a shell station on the left address 7652 Newnan Rd (same road as highway 16) Brooks, GA 30205. Just after I mean just after take the first right, which is connector 85. Go about 100 or so feet and take the first driveway to the left which is a business complex. Just behind the first building on the left is the track. If any one has any questions you can PM me and I will do my best to answer them.

Aardvark you where correct I did not have it in the GA section here. I have been going to so many RC forums an promoting the track I must have for got the Georgia section here but do have a thread on it there now. I will do my best to keep it up to date. The race on Dec 3rd will be the last one till 2012 and as soon as the owner posts a schedule for 2012 I will post it in the
GA thread. Thanks for reminding me about the GA section!!!!!!!!!!!
