What are the oval dimensions? Will this only be an Electric track or will there be 1/10 nitor allowed? IE sprints or truck syle EDM.

Rule wise: Electric I would adopt something close to Checkered Flag. Nitro follow the NSCS rules hands down.

Is the track large enough for L8M 1/8 scale Latemodels?:cool

Thanks

Phil

ELECTRIC!!! 1OTH SCALE!!!

Jake's R/C Pro-Am is now running oval on Sunday's at 2pm. Starting this Sunday February 15th until Checkered Flag opens this Spring. Same rules as Chered Flag except side dams are allowed in late model classes. It's high grip and Losi pinks work best along with Panther Clays or Proline M3 compounds. Doors open at Noon but we are usually there earlier. 1212 S. Kansas Ave., Topeka, KS.

$10 for the first class and $5 for each additional.

I have two threads here so I'll post in both for a while. OVAL is back on Sundays at Jake's R/C Pro-Am. 1212 S. Kansas Ave. Topeka Kansas.Doors open at noon and races start at 2pm. We already had our first race today and it was a great success.
Track is 42X65 high grip clay. Losi pink compound/Proline M3/or Panther Clays work best. Medium to bald tread.

On a more serious note. I have to admit,, OVAL WAS A BLAST! I don't think I ever used my throttle at full throttle that much in my whole life. I was alot of balls to the wall cat and mouse! I can't wait to get some oval bodies painted up! Thanks everyone for coming to race oval this sunday!
