Greg Sharpe's R/C-palooza 2018
This post will always contain the most up to date information. Please check back often for additions to this great race!
The Deets:
ERS-USGT Hour Of Power presented by Gravity RC:
Do you think your crew is fast? Well it’s time to put up or shut up! Your team has one hour of treaded tire shredding to push one transponder around the track under the USGT ruleset. How you accomplish that is up to you. Three drivers and three cars, sure! One ringer driver, two pit crew and three cars, sure! Six drivers and twelve cars, yeah, sure! Whatever you think is fastest, bring it on!
Qualifying will consist of just a single, ten (10) minute open lapping session with each team’s overall fastest three laps determining their starting order for the enduro. Teams are welcome to field as many cars and drivers as they like during the qualifying session, but each car may only use their single, team transponder and only one car per team on track at a time.
During the enduro, each team is required to have one marshal on track at all times except during driver changeover. Each car is required to go through a brief tech inspection every time it is placed on the track to ensure fair racing during qualifying and throughout the length of this enduro. The tech window will be manned for the entire enduro and set up for fast drive-thru service. Items to be tech’d include battery voltage, weight, motor and ESC blinky mode. Any enduro battery tech’d over 8.4V may be run down to legal voltage and retested after one (1) full minute of inactivity in tech. This could greatly affect your race strategy, so do not push the battery voltage limits.
It’s highly advisable to run a short extension lead from the Rx to the transponder on each car to alleviate the risk of bending the RX connection pins during a fast paced pit stop transponder swap. Also, be sure that each vehicle carries the transponder in a suitable location to avoid missing laps. Race control cannot add lost laps back during/after this busy race, so test each vehicle during practice and/or qualifying to be sure it counts properly. There is a 22 team limit for this enduro. Gravity USGT tires to the winners!
Mini Madness presented by Tamiya USA:
Returning once again, the annual track packing extravaganza that is Mini Madness. Described as a “slow motion knife fight inside an elevator”, Mini Madness will test each racer’s ability to track their mini in a sea of miniature hatchbacks, a veritable Where’s Waldo of R/C!
One, ten (10) minute open lapping session will qualify each driver for the triple A-main event with their fastest overall three laps setting the grid. There’s no slouching here, as all three main results count towards the final score! TCS Mini rules, and unlimited entries! Tamiya USA provided prizes galore to the winners!
Smokey and the Bandit USVTA/Euro-truck race presented by Tamiya USA:
The chaos continues on the battlefield of curbs at Jackson R/C, but this time Sheriff Buford T. Justice will be in “HOT PA-SUIT”! Teams are highly encouraged to make a break for the Georgia state line and avoid being caught by the cranky old sheriff. BYOT (bring your own teammate), a USVTA car and a TCS Euro-truck. Basset Hound optional.
Each class will run their own ten (10) minute open lapping session with fastest overall three laps used to qualify each driver for their classes’ own respective three (3) heads-up, qual-point races. The results from each racer’s three races will be combined with their teammate’s results to set the grid for the Smokey and the Bandit main event, with each team of Bandit and euro-truck starting side by side on their grid position. Tamiya USA provided prizes galore to the winners!
Jammin’ Jeff Jones Run Whatcha Brung Free For All:
The ambassador of R/C is BACK with his signature class, Run Whatcha Brung. There’s only one rule in RWB, and that is there are no rules! Three, five (5) minute, heads-up races from motocross starts to a fixed lap, flying finish. Literally ANYTHING with wheels and an electric motor can sign up to race this class. There’s no qualifying, there’s no excuses, just a mad dash to stay in front until the finish line!\
Time Attack:
Hot laps upon hot laps, but timing yours to avoid traffic will be the key to finding open air and clear track. Did you bring enough horsepower to out-leg the field, and what’s that guy doing with a dirt oval car? Any 1/10 vehicle, 235mm wide or less, up to 2S (or 6cells!), and a 540 sized motor may vie for the lap record. Active aero, no aero, foam, rubber, 2wd, 4wd, 1wd, it’s your choice! Three, five (5) minute open lapping sessions will determine who can link the smooth curves of Jackson R/C together into one perfect hot lap!
Mon-tech Formula-1 Grand Prix of Jackson:
The open wheel warriors of Formula-1 take to the famous Jackson curbs for triple A-main action! One, ten (10) minute open lapping session will qualify each driver onto the scale-realistic, double-wide grid with their fastest overall three laps setting the grid. All three, six (6) minute A-main results count towards the final score! USVTA F1 rules. Singe lower mains. Montech provided F1 bodies to the winners!
