Thanks!
Sorry about that....

Race Fees:

First Class = $35
Second Class = $20
Third Class = $15
Novice = $20

Oh and with this Mod Foam or Mod Rubber class....numbers will dictate what is run and we will do our best to facilitate a class or classes as best we can given numbers so that it is fair.

JM's right in saying that the tire issue needs to be resolved before the race. Now that there are five entries in Mod that want to run on foam, it may well BE resolved, as they have enough to run a separate class.

Where I disagree is the idea that "foam" may come back in a few years time. Frankly, it's here already. These things tend to happen fairly quickly, as we've seen many times in the past. We've seen TC indoor racing go from foam to rubber, and back to foam, and then back to rubber, and now it's swinging back towards foam again.

Here's where I get unpopular again.....there seems to be an underlying assumption on a couple of people's part that if a decision is made that the Mod class will go on rubber then all the foam entries will simply run on rubber. My guess is that they won't and you'll simply lose some of those entries. Going on from there.....almost all the "foam" entries are from members of our own club. Isn't it part of being a club that we try to accommodate our own club members wishes ? (Told you it'd be unpopular)

I will also say that I don't have a personal stake here.....I'm too old to race in Trophy races (they get too aggressive and too competitive for me these days), and I won't be there.

Though it seems I have discovered something of an aggressive and competitive streak lately.......but no, not the MidWinter. I'll keep it for the Sunday afternoon club races.

Glad to hear.....Thompson Rivers University where the race is being held is about a 20 min. drive from the airport. If there is anything else we can help you with please dont hesitate to ask.

Default Mini Rules?

what did you guys decide for the mini rules? WCICS less the brushless?

Are you using their HOP UP Rules?
'Hop Ups - Any brand of bearing permitted. Tamiya only drivetrain components, including gearsets, driveshafts, differentials, etc. All other Tamiya or equivalent aftermarket hop ups permitted.'
I think the diff thing was well covered already.
Thanks, Terry

Default Spec Tire?

So with Canwest R/C gone are you still planning on using Jaco blue or is it going to change to Sweep 32? I say Sweep.

WCICS Mini Rules minus the BL motor rule. That doesn't me "no Brushless" just that we will not hold back the silver can drivers. either system will be accepted.

Just confirming the details now.

We had 2 options coming into this event. The Jaco Blue or the Sweep QTS Real Blue. The Club had chosen the Jaco over the Sweep. But because of the recent closure of Canwest R/C, our supply of Jaco's is not guaranteed.

Therefore, the Sweep Real Blue will be the Spec Tire for this event. Same pricing and rules as it would have been with the Jaco.

I believe some hobby shops have them instock if you want to try a set before the event.
