I am working on the winter carpet series & these are the tracks I have on the tour so far:

HORSHAM
KRANZELS
POTTBELLYS

This is going to be a great winter series..lots of great door prizes from lots of sponsors!!
classes will be as follows:

STOCK (NOVICE CLASS?)
19t--any locked timing 19t motor
OUTLAW TOURING---any motor & battery
12TH SCALE--open motor

We will wait to see whats happing with the 4200's if they are going to be roar approved by then..

Hm... I might be running 1/12th scale this year.

Looking forward to this season!

McSmooth

Sounds good.

What about asking if Mimi's track in Gaithersburg if they'd like to be in the rotation?

I am considering on opening up the battery limit to 4200's in ALL CLASSES..LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK....

I think it's a good idea Dave because people are already starting to get them so they wont wanna be limited to using their old packs. Only thing is you wanna make the limit 4300....that will allow people to run the GP4300's.

Dave I think it is a good idea about tha batteries. We all are going to have the 4200's and 4300's because of the upcoming big races this fall.

On your list of races for the winter. Out of that list the only one I would skip is Potbelly's. To far to go for a Sunday.

I agree with Bob and Steve on the batteries. Most people will be getting the 4200's shortly if they don't already have them.

Dave can we get TheTrack "Mimis" added to the list of tracks. ?

That's a good Idea Mr. Game ! ! !

I think that would be a good Idea, but I would make that a Saturday race.

I can already tell you Dave's issue with this. How many people from MD are going to come up here for the series....how many people from up here are going to go down. Look what just happened at Frederick...me Fred and Ceci were the only ones from up this way that went down.

Personally I agree with you guys....I wanna see the ORL down there too.

Ok..for the WINTER BLAST TOUR!!!! I WILL ALLOW UPTO & INCLUDING 4300'S

THeGame

Well I was at the Kranzels race last year and the turn out was some what light. I just think it would be cool to have one race at Mimis.. Some of the fastest guys racing carpet in this area race at Horsham and Mimis we need to get them together more often...

Just My 3 Cents

Totally agree. That is one of my complaints from the series. I think the best thing you could do, is the first 2 races, make one up north one down south. If people get a good finish at one of those races they will want to continue the series with a chance of winning. If you run a race at Mimis like the 4th one in it, you will get a lot of the northern racers not coming cause they will use that as the throw out.

It is really up to the guys running the program though, do they want to keep it a small group of racers running at a few tracks? Or make this a big series involving more tracks more racers and make the series big? rememeber the moto of the ORL " No one track wonders" except during the winter blast tour!

McSmooth

Yes to Mimi's!!! (check Post #3 in this thread, by the way )

There are several of us on the other side of the state that would love to participate in more ORL events, but the long drive on a Sunday prevents that most times.

Mimi's and Kranzel's are the closest for us, and having a Saturday race or two would be a great help to those that would travel a minimum of 3-4 hours.
