Guys with kids who can't stay out late: You have an option and you've all said that it works for your kids due to schedule, racing style and the ability to interact with other kids. That's great. It's in place, ready to go.

Serious racers: We've for an awesome club for "grown ups" where we can stay out late, race fast cars and blow off steam. On top of that, there are two wide open practice nights every week. I can't imagine a better situation, save for having my own home track.

Both clubs have there strengths and weaknesses. Why don't we just stick to our strengths and not sweat the other stuff? Karz and Carcar both had off years for whatever reason. There's no reason they both can't thrive again like they did a few years ago.
Jim,
It was just a part of the discussion at CARCAR as to how to increase overall attendances.
Looking after new folks be they kids, or adults, just seems like a good way to get those new folks to stay once you get them in the door.
We also talked about how to get folks in the door in the first place.

I can see how CARCAR loses not only the kid racer, but the parent as well.
But all just part of a good discussion.

Yup, that pretty much sums it up -at least in how I think it's perceived.

And since Carcar has been the place for more serious racers, I have tended to respect that they don't necessarily want kids in their way. I can appreciate that the club, as an organization, wants to appeal to all -including kids, but unless there is a way to let the adult racers race in peace and have kids at the same time (i.e. have a kids class), I don't see how that can happen.

Again, I'm not saying that there should be a kids class at Carcar -Karz does this quite well- but if there was I would certainly try and get out there with Alex whenever possible (AND do Karz).

Default AGM Meeting Minutes, September 2nd, 2015

Minutes attached as a PDF. Apologies for posting as a PDF, but there was lots of indentation in the notes that would be a royal pain to reformat using the tools available on rctech.

Any recommendations for a battery pack for my F1? I'm joining in on the fun! If someone has one to sell, please let me know. Thanks

Gordon I used the HK 4200 shorty pack. Cheap and worked very well.

Canadian tire has a 38" wheeled hockey bag on sale, $35, would make a decent rc tote bag. I know a few guys use hockey bags, so thought id mention it.

Hobbyking Turnigy Nano-Tech 4200 mah shorty work great, and super cheap. Get two and you don't have to deal with hazardous shipping. That kicks in at 3. Also works great in M05 V2 mini.
