I would guess that the 8 scales might not be good unless they can come up with a tire that has no pins. Terry said that he really didn't want any pin tires on the carpet. Thanks guys for showing up today. I just got home and I am beat. We will have the changes done for Saturday morning. We also cam up with a better idea and I think you guys might like it. You will see it Saturday. Doors open at 10:00, racing starts at 11:30. I think he is charging $15 and you will use the transponders that he has. SCT's 2wd and 4wd. Kit type tires only. Those proved to work pretty well. As for the 8 scale e-buggies, bring them and show me a tire that is not a pin. I will see how many show up. It could be a little narrow for them. Glad you all had fun.

Pix of track
Here is the layout showing the proposed extended section and other elements. I understand shapes and pictures better anyway.
Tim said its a little different. Love to hear what you came up with.
It is really a cool place you should check it out. It will be a blast. A great way to keep the race on through the winter. Getting ready for Arts new track layout (its sweet!)!!!
Tim, thank you for the hospitality and setting everything up. That was too much fun yesterday. Hope you get the ofna (remember what it stands for?) going for next week.

Not 100% sure how to take it . . . but lmao at the labeling.
Update on my first carpet oval outing . . . well, had some bad luck with electronics. Burned up one motor by running foam tire gearing with stock rubber tires (my fault
), had a stock servo go haywire (as far as I know, not my fault), then in the main had another brushless motor literally came apart into pieces (not my fault). Other than that it went great. Thanks for the excellent chassis setup help from Tim & other help from Fox. The thing is on rails and you never have to lift. When running the car is very competitive. All things considered, I have decided to cut my losses. I really don't think the carpet oval w/current class offerings is for me. Update to the for sale thread coming soon.
