Exactly. You don't need 30 minute mains two 5 minute qualifier's and a 7 minute main. Secondly, limit it to 1/10 scale only. The track isn't big enough for 1/8 and 1/5 scale.

Im a nitro guy off road. I race electric on road. I just relayed what they've told me, and what bitching iv'e heard about marshaling nitro. I'm fine with them.

Any special races coming up at the Roadrunners track? I cannot seem to find a calendar of events on the web site. I know 1st/3rd Sundays are off-road and 2nd/4th are on road. Is there a BFTR for on road and a Golden State off-road this year? If so what are the dates?
Getting tired of the Nitro/Electric on road whining. If you run Nitro bring it. I believe 5 cars make a race. If you run electric bring it. I believe 5 cars make a race.
I for one will not marshal Nitro.

Is the club still racing Formula 1 using 21.5t motors?

Hello all. Hope all has been well for everyone. Haven't seen a track since September. Seems like we can finally get to go back to Cam and get to see everyone again. Can't wait to get back and a get a double treat. To hit the track and a new larger one at that.

I never thought of it from that perspective but can now understand why electric racers wouldn't want to marshal for nitro. In the past, I would of called it laziness but with some of my recent set backs I may not be able to stand at times for 20-30 even if I wanted too.


If nitro were to be included, 8-10 mains sounds like a viable option for marshalling and I wouldn't have issues with that. Anything longer wound be yet to be determined until I'm standing there depending on how I feel.

I say bring them on. The more, the merrier!

Is the calendar on https://www.roadrunnersrc.com/ not visible on some devices or something? You might have to use the yellow buttons to change the months but there are a number of events, JBRL and Golden State for offroad, CTS and BFTR for onroad so far.

Yes

I believe we are going with the USVTA F1 rules on this and using 25.5t as a standard.

Does anyone know if the new asphalt at the Camarillo on road track has had a seal coat put down because it sure does not look like it.

Brian Bosley

iTrader: (13)

yes, maybe around noon or so. feel free to stop by earlier and help us wash the track though

the track will not be sealed for the near future, likely 1-3 years as required. The old asphalt wasn't cut out so we don't really have an unstable or porous substrate so I'd expect it to last quite a while. If you noticed, the last coat of sealer was good for maybe 2 months and then gradually just turned into a skating rink.

Good enough. What about tire wear?

Yes we will. Unfortunately that is not the way to go about it. Should have
been sealed. Good Luck racing on Sun.

Brian, I for one appreciate all your efforts, dedication, and hard work spent into making a better place for us to race. I believe you did your homework and made a conscious decision. You have my vote. Hope to get to the track in a few hours.
