*Racing begins at Noon on all dates except May 22 and June 5.
Due to conflicts with the Verona Youth Soccer program, the races on May 22 and June 5 will begin at 1 PM.

Track setup starts at 10 AM on May 22 and June 5, 9 AM for the rest of the season.

Directions:

From Madison take Verona Rd. (Hwy 151) toward Verona. Take exit 77 (Hwy 69). Follow Hwy 69 into Verona- travel 1/2 mi to Bruce St (sign for Firemans park)- take right on Bruce st, and 1st left into park.

Do we know what classes will be for electric? I would kind of assume open foam would be the electric class.

They run rubber outdoors.

Yea, outdoors is better with rubber. Sorex 36 tires will typically work OK on the MARCCA track and last for a bit. You can try the Take Off CS27 pre-mounts but on the hotter days, they will probably wear out too quickly.

Outdoors the motor rule is typically 19T or Mod -- since the track is so big. I would guess they would do an Open class since people could run brushless then if they wanted. But, it's not up to me any more.

I take it the racing was cancelled today? I stopped by but no one was out there. It rained earlier this morning but it's actually looking pretty clear right now. oh well...

That's what I was wondering? I was down there too around 11:00. I left Verona around 1:30 It was looking great!

Can we maybe post here if it gets canceled?

I actually called tod to verify if we were running today and he told me we wernt. this was at about 930 this morning. i was getting ready to leave and my mom made me call first. good call mom saved me some money on gas. lol

We had a person at the track this morning. At 9:40 the parking lot was wet and it was raining there. We needed to begin setting up and building the track by 10:30. The forecast called for rain and thunderstorms. We made the decision to call off the race at that time based on the information we had available. While it did not rain in the early afternoon, it did begin raining later.

Sorry for any inconvenience this caused. If anyone wants to PM me and give me their email address I will use the list to contact people in the future if the need arises.

Remember, the next race is June 5 at 1 PM. Let’s hope for good weather.

You could also post here, I think a lot of people check this. Same with offroad even.

Sorry I can't be at the next one to help out; good luck with the track!

And the problem with a wet track is .....

hey freeman! have you tried the drift tires outside yet. im willing to drift if they work at the track. il have my tire with me on the next race day. IF i dont ahve to work.

Today was the first day of onroad racing in verona. we had a very small tournout. there was me, lenny, vang, ceaser, tim, john, and 3 outhers. sory but i cant remember your names at the moment. we started racing at 1 and finished the mains at 4:30 after running 3 heats.

we had 7 nitro and 1 electric(me)

and freeman drift tires work quite well.

Yea, the first couple races almost always have a low turnout, until the word gets spread around a bit. I was hoping more people would come out and run electric!

Too bad there aren't more electrics. I was planning on going but I went to bed Saturday morning when the sun was coming up! Firerider, did they make a separate class for you?! How much slower is the electric vs gas?

I will plan on going June 19. We should try to get enough electrics to make a class.

There were about that many south of you guys down in Monroe at the Den. It was the first real race day for them also. (some people from the Carpet races in the winter in Madison were down there also, so I actually knew some people )


My bud and I were down there and had a pretty good time, even while he smoked an engine (check this pic... brutal: http://clegg.procooling.com/Den-Track/6-5/badpiston.jpg by having a wrist pin spring come out it seems adn embed itself from a port in the cyl wall all the way up the cyl and destroy the piston. ) And I smoked a nice Hitec 925MG Digital servo and A Arm by my own stupidity of not running a servo saver...

I would have to recomend on an off weekend for MARCCA's program you check out the Den's outdoor program its quite nice, some great people down there.

Only hassle is that 30 min drive south, but its all worth it once you get there. I am gunna try and make it to a Verona race one of these weekends, gotta ballance all the hobbies and real life kinda stuff.
