Also Gotta give it to the Superior Guys who came out and blistered the track times:eek:,Our local guys need to step it up even myself lol.:cry:
Maybe we can get a point race series going with the guys in Orlando.Also wanted to say let me know when you guys have a race at Superior would like to come and support as you guys do the same here.Wanna give me dates that way I can put the flyer at the shop and advertise for races also.
Lets bring On Road back,Like never before and I think working together will do that.So lets do it.Speed asphalt is where it is.:flaming:
Also thank you Pete without you it would have not gone so well.
Next race is Jan 15th same bat time same bat channel.So be there.also just so you know there are five sundays in this month so will be three weeks after the 15th,

Classes
 
Well believe it or not nitro is doing great, Far as electric open touring with slicks is full two heats and also GT touring is just as full.Far as Roar classes the guys out there are running 17.5 in both classes and that are the guys that are winning.Even over all the mod motors.But if there are enough people who wanna make a spec roar class we will do.
But most of all I dont turn anyone away to race so what ever you have you can race.But the door is always open for any suggestions to make it better.Just remember I dont wanna get all into rules where it turns out to turn people away.That always seems to be the killer in racing when the rules start applying.So Thats why I wanted to make it open.With the only rule 7.4 lipo max.and the tire rule.Seems to work best and everyone is happy.
Last but not least like I said before the biggest thing I find funny is the guys running stock motors as like the 17.5 are kicking our butt and we have motors like 6.5,5.5,even 4.5 so there it is.If your good you should have no prob kicking butt with stock motors.
Dave franklin came out and laid down a 13.98 lap which until then the fastest was 15.6 I thought I had a nice lap then but he showed me how it is suppose to be done.So job well done.
Thanks,
Rob S

Spray the track with sugar water and racing would be better. That would be the only change I would make. It would make the cars a lot easier for everyone to drive. The layout was great, and the surface wasn't bad either. In touring I was running my mod car with a 4.5 in it. Dave and I exchanged fast laps(14.01) a couple of times, but I think I would have been much quicker if I used my 17.5 car. I demand a rematch!:lol: It was way too much power, especially for the traction. In the GT class I was running a front wheel drive car and no timing on a 17.5 motor. Again, I demand a rematch!:lol:

I took my xray off the track and ran my ntc3, the xray with the nova's might be a little too much. You'll need to change the setup quite a bit too :tire::tire:
