• Stadium Truck Stock Advanced: This is a Michiana RC class that runs on the carpet with full carpeted jumps & a tabletop. Foam tires are recommended (although rubber tires are permitted, but any SOFT knobbies must be ground down to a slick-like status) Trucks follow ROAR rules.

• General Note on Classes: Often times, we get asked about "other" classes, such as Modified or 19 turn classes. We will purchase trophies for the above listed classes ONLY, as they will be personalized to the class. You ARE welcome to race a class not listed above. However, we MUST have a minimum of four to a class (for marshalling). If you show up with the only intention of runnnig, say, TC Modified- understand there is the possibility that you will NOT be racing. Keep that in mind, please. We'll do our best to accomidate you, but will adhere to the rules, and will not compromise (I.E., there MUST be four cars, we will NOT allow you to race in another class that's "close")

There is one more class that we may run- more details on that soon.

We will post more information, such as class sponsors, and more detailed information. Over the course of the week we'll "pretty up" this post, and add any additional info.

Stay Tuned!!!

How many people do you expect to attend?

Will there be practice on Saturday, and if so, what times?

acyrier

Well..our club races are an average of about 50 cars (roughly 35-45 people) and those are on Friday nights.

There will be several guys traveling from ft. wayne to run 12th, (as the BRL race is at ft wayne, so they won't be able to run 12th at their location) and there's also talk of guys traveling down from Michigan as well as guys coming from IL to run the vintage class.

I would venture to say we'll hit the 80-car mark with-out a problem. But since this is our 1st road course trophy race (Not including the race we put on at the University of Notre Dame, which we hit the 90-100 car mark and expect to exceed that this year (March 29th and 30th)

Practice....
Yeah, all pre-entries recieved will get free practice that Saturday. We'll open the doors at about 10:00am, and close no earlier then 8:00pm. If we get enough demand to be open later, we'll make something happen.

Looks like there will be at least 3 guys, if not more heading up from Dayton.
A couple more questions:
What traction compound is allowed?
Do we need to bring tables and chairs?
How is the electric on site? Do we need extension cords?
Is there a place to true tires?

man, that's cool....

traction compound..no rule. 99% of the guys are using paragon,

tables and chairs...tables...no. Chairs..If you have the room, might not be a bad idea,

Onsite electric is good. power strip you may need, extension cord... probably not need one. we have quad outlets basically every 10' through-out the pitting facility.

True tires... Yes, there is a place to do that as well, we also have air to blow the cars off

There is also:
Internet access
onsite beverages
were providing
breakfast sunday (donuts, juice/coffee) - man food
Lunch sunday (pizza, bread sticks, chk. wings) More man food

Glad ya'll will be able to make it. Let me know friday how many are coming for sure..I'll work on making sure ya'll can pit together as a group.

Things have come up here where we won't be able to attend. Sorry, I was really looking forward to the trip. We'll keep the race in mind for next year.
