Have you run 1/8 much come one dude they wreck a track or at least make it un runable for 1/10. I don't want to run the class down I am just choosing not to offer them at my track. Everyone has thier favorite thing mine is 1/10 offroad. I have not run on a track catered to electric only since the old Dalton track indoor
So after much deliberation we decided to build a 1/10 electric only track. Sorry if your offended in any way but you could always pick up a xxx or b4 and come run with us your would be more than welcome at that point. Look forward to racing with you at some point.

Question answer time
1. 1/8 scale heres my opinion and it's not to make anyone mad. There are at least 4 tracks with in 2 hours from here that run 1/8. I am building this track for 1/10 only I don't care for the 1/8 nitro cars and the 1/8 electric ones will tear up the track just like a gas car. I want to grow the 1/10 electric classes around here and those guys do not care to run with 1/8 scalers. Not shunning the class just won't run them here.
2. Classes will be this for now Spec Slash, 13.5 buggy, 13.5 truck, 4wd no more than 8.5 as the classes grow we will open it up to pro mod if desired.
3. Transponders will not be furnished you will need your own personal. AMB or cloned but we will have the AMB system.
4. I know it hasn't been asked but i'm offering it up beforehand. Tires anything from bowties to smaller pin tire such as holeshots, square fuzzies, etc. should work fine. I played around on the straight today and was hooking awsome with bowties plenty of side bite and good on power steering.

Looking forward to running on the track, but I do have one question. Why would you limit 4wd to 8.5, I definately do not have the money to go out and buy a 8.5, if I did have the money I would spend it on a personal transponder. If your going to run mod 4wd (which thats what a 8.5 is) why would you limit it?
I think the big thing first would be bring whatever you have. Once it becomes more set then maybe they'll figure out what limits to set. I think that has alot to do with PT's 2wd class growing. Not alot of rules just show up and run. I havn't heard anyone busting on anyone for what motor they had, not yet anyway.

Keith great job on the graphics

This track has a much longer straight so any short coming will show there. You will just have to out drive them in the infield

A built 19T is actually closer to a 10.5 with a 10.5 being just a tad faster. An average 19T should be close enough to run in the 13.5 class. Even if it is faster you have to remember that brushed motors will experience brush fade while a BL will remain constant the entire run.
13.5/19T sounds fine to me. Let's just get out there and race!

Best of luck in your track building because I know it is very hard work. I love seeing tracks being built in Georgia. It seems that we are always behind the west coast and if we keep growing here in the east coast maybe we can give them some competion. If you have any questions about building your track feel free to call me at 423-280-6085 beaucse i have some building experience and have learned from my own mistakes.. I will offer this advice on your track, build to drain from the begining. Also, as for transponders, get yourself a few handout transponders because every race that I have had at my track there have been several people who use them.
Thanks Dion
