All Right Guys here are rules for the racing at HobbyTown USA Melbourne

I race 1st and 3rd of every month.Starting Janurary 1st yes New Years Day,
Practice starts at 9 races start at 11am

Nitro 10th scale I perfer touring bodies but not gonna turn anyone away because of a body,18 size motor or smaller and tires your choice,I run 37 shore in the front and 35 shore in the rear.Tires are Jaco
2 Five min heats,staggard starts
C main 6 min and winner bumps up
B main 7 min and winner bumps up
A main 15 or 20 min
Mains all racers start at same time

10th scale electric touring The main rule is rubber slicks 26 mm or 24mm ,Or if you really want to,You can even run foams,Also 7.4 lipo is max battery.Far as motor and ESC Run what ever you like no rules or limit,I do perfer touring bodies but again just race,I do hope that once we get going most people will be running touring bodies only.

2 five min heats,Staggard start
C main 5 min,Winner bumps up
B main 6 min, Winner bumps up
A main 8 min
Mains all racers start same time


10th scale GT Or Vintage,Any X pattern or Vintage tire,7.4 lipo is max.Again far as Motor and ESC Run what you want no rules or limit. Far as bodies doesnt matter,Car or truck any year new or old GT or Vintage.Touring type is fine,But would like to be more realistic.Just race.

2 five min heats,Staggard start
C main 5 min,Winner bumps up
B main 6 min,Winner bumps up
A main 8 min
Mains all racers start same time

Basically if you have an electric car and change tires you will be able to race 2 classes.

Whatsup People,Just checkin in,As I said everyday.
I have already thought about a point series, So as we grow I would like to do that, Also as always if anyone has any input I will always listen and do my best to make this the best program. Without racers I dont have a program. In other words everyone has a voice and will be heard to make it right. So speak up say it and please dont think I will not listen.

Just so you guys know this is a NEW race program.
Talked to Rob at Hobby Town today and he was
very excited, but he wanted to let you all know
that he is basically taking baby steps to work out
all the bugs of a race program within the next
few races. We want to make sure that your
participation at Brevard's newest RC Car Club is
pleasant and is a fun, family experience!

Default Track info

Hello,
Alright so far it seems that electric touring to be most active,Though very suprised nitro went well.Most guys are running electric touring and then turning around and running GT by changing tires.So any questions please feel free to call me at the shop.And as we grow things will grow.I was hoping to just have at least 10 guys at the races and really praying to have 15,And so far it has doubled that at every race.Some of the guys are new to racing,But I hope that it will bring new racers out. So that maybe some of them will want to go to Kissimmee on the monthly races,And even Race in the forgass and other races being held there and all over state.I maybe a smaller track but lap times are around 16 to 17 seconds.So it will keep your skills sharp and just remember,Its club level but people here could always use tips from top drivers.

Bobby and I spoke to Rob a few days ago and this is looking to be a great idea and I'm glad we can have a local club race and just go out an have some fun. Like Rob said, we are hoping to grow the hobby to get some new people interested and also, try to interest some people in joining some of the bigger races, specifically, club races at Kissimmee. Bobby and I look forward to being there Jan 1st and helping out where we can. Whether it is with car setups, best practices or just talking RC
