Regular weekly events.

1) M-class (basic TCS rules)
2) $12 first class $8 2nd class
3) Ribbons
4) Lots of pit space. Bring extension cords, shade tables, chairs, (lights for night races.) There are plenty of tables and seats available on the far side of the track for those who dont have some to bring. Most just chose to bring their own to keep from having to walk around the track.
5) The put-put course (next to the track) opperates their own misquito truck, and they drive through our lot every night at 9pm. Hopefully this will keep the bugs away, but off is suggested just in case.
6) Saturdays race will start at 8pm, the track will be preped by 3:30pm for practice.
7) We have clean and HC accessable bathrooms.
8) We don't dyno motors for regular events. We usualy just do a couple random visual tech inspections. We will be dynoing at the state race.

SO, just what are the STATE Race MINI rules? All of the them?

rtrsprint

That does bring up a good point on electric issues. I can imagine your looking at a large group of people for the state race. Can you run generators @ the facility?

mrrcguy

TCS rules will apply. The only exceptions that will pass tech are.

HPI hodys (no wing).

Non performance related parts, example (screws, battery strap) will be the only non Tamiya brand exceptions made.

Sure you can bring a generator. I will be asking that all generators be placed on the west side of the property (off the parking lot, in the grass) to limit any noise issues. Also between now and the State Race, I will be adding more outlets, on dedicated circuts, to fullfill the needs of the additional racers.

frankrehnelt

what motor?

mrrcguy

iTrader: (25)

We have been running Stock TC, (13.5 BL allowed). However if you want to run both stock and mod, that's fine as long as there are four or more for it, well will add mod to the schedule. I was planning on running some mod (between rounds) to get ready for the state race. So, if you and a couple more want to get together and run some mod, then I guess I won't have to do it just between rounds. Yes, I have many types of tires in stock. Ive been running RP36, RP40, and a few of the new Jaco tires, but thats in the daytime when the asphalt is 136F this night race will likely require different tires.

Yes the track will be well prepped.

As far as the specifics on the Tamiya motors its all @ www.tamiyausa.com .
If you are realy concerned just pick up a new motor from a shop (they are only $16) bolt that sucker in the car, and you'll be fine.
