Good call. Nothing to do Friday, so I'm on it!

Have a safe and happy New Years guys. Looking forward to a 2016 where I claw my way out of the B main!

I have an important family situation that is in progress which will keep me away from the track for the next few nights.

I am calling on the club members to help myself, and more importantly the club, volunteering to take on my normal duties on practice and race nights.

I will remain reachable through my cell or PM at anytime. I will have limited time to come to the track to do any nessecary things that are needed.

Thank you in advance for the help and the understanding!

Default Radio Question

When I turn my radio on set to mini, and turn on my touring car, the car goes to partial/full throttle. When the radio is set to touring and I turn the car on, all is well. Why would the mini profile turn on the touring car motor? Both profiles have the throttle trim at zero and zero throttle sub trim. The radio is an Airtronics MT-4s. Mini has orca combo and touring has a hobbywing justock. Thoughts?

Airtronics cannot tell the difference between two recievers that are turned on. So essentially, if you have two cars turned on, you will be able to control both cars. Spektrum systems can tell the difference between recievers, but most others cant.

I also will not be racing tonight. So if someone could smack talk Walter and Chris all night, I'd appreciate that.

Maybe one of the profiles is using a reversed throttle channel.

Videos from last nights mains are uploading as we speak. Closest races of the night were Mini (Carter and Jay) and the Touring B Main (Benny and Bernie). Good night of fun.
I keep bringing my F1 and not enough guys doing the same. Would like to run it more, who else is?

What a great night of racing! We got 5 rounds of qualifiers and some really good racing.

First off was the mini A main with seven cars. Lots of close racing right to the end! Al drove consistent which lead to him taking the win! Ivan put up a really good fight and had a strong second place finish. Matt made a few mistakes but he was able to hold on to third. Tim, returning to mini, had a quick car and drove well to put it in the forth spot. Carter had some bad luck but still drove well to finish fifth. Raz had a good car and drove well for sixth. Dale had issues in eighth.

The tc stock B main was up with eight cars. Dalton had a really great race, and came up from third to win! Walter was only a second and a half back in second place! Great race to watch! Ken had really bad luck but still held on for third. Patrick had a good race to finish forth! Mike H is getting better each time and he had a great race for fifth. Ian, doing his thing, finished in sixth. James qualified well but ran into trouble. He finished seventh. Raz had car issues, but was able to finish eighth.

The tc stock A main had some great racing with seven cars. Pete, showing that belt drives are just as fast, had a good race to finish on the top step. Aaron, driving a loaner car, finished four seconds back for second. Blaine had a great race for third! Bob was very close behind for the forth spot. Mike, having a great race, finished fifth! In the sixth spot was Bernie, who put in some good laps. Benny broke.

The tc mos A main was exciting to the end with six cars. TQ Pete lead from tone to tone to claim the first spot. The battle for second was close with some great back and forth passing, but a late race mistake by Aaron let Matt get ahead to finish second. Aaron finished third. Ivan was in the mix as well but couldnt quite cath Aaron. He finished forth. Tommy was only three seconds behind Ivan for fifth. Carter had a good run and finished sixth.

A great night of racing! Thanks everyone for the fun times! See you next week!
