Anyway couple of questions.
I have a Traxxas Rally that I modified to look like a gt8 using some XO-1 parts and I have a castle creation 2200 kV motor and MM2 esc. Would I be allowed to run it?
And maybe I missed it but what time on Saturday do you start?
We have track all set up by 12 noon time. So come on down either way since all newbie can test out their cars in race condition. Eventually you will enjoy what circuit driving is like vs. just bashing around, it is addictive.
Hopefully will see you on track!

NeowS6, glad you stop by and did some track time until bearing failure.
Look forward for your comeback and race with us.
Glad got Sean's Inferno GT2 up to speed and handling and Deven's finally got his TC working good but just got pay some good $ on batteries in loosing out at the end. There was a shocking moment in 1/8 VE during our final qualifier when Maj's car glitched at full throttle in crashing directly into Sean's Driver stand which luckily the wooden barrier held up but scared the crap out him and me!!
I give this one win to Alex on Main due to his line from his transponder before crossing the finish line was closer to PC in .063 sec from me!!
There is always next time but it was full of action main.

Thanks so much for the hospitality, everyone was so helpful, Im definitely hooked onto circuit racing now.
Now im having a blast tuning my frankeinstein of a car for the next time. What was good for bashing or even my speed runs won't work in the turns.
I picked up new bearings and I've been tweaking ever since.
I won't be there this weekend I have a wedding to go to but I should make it the next week.

The new MHS location has access to more then enough parking lot space that can provide a full day of on-road racing fun!

Would like to host club type weekend racing weather providing.

Today was the first day we ran a test and tune to see what was needed to make it successful.

Lap counting will be provided using AMB.

Next practice will be Sat June 7th. As far as what type of classes are going to run is based on what will show up.

On race days there will be 4 car minimum to run that class.

Already we have 5-8 guys running 1/8 GTe max 4s spec tires class

Video and pics of today's basic track layout will be posted soon

Track spec used today was road rails / fire hose 130'x80'

Please give your thoughts ideas or interest in some on-road racing fun
