Default Wednesday Night Racing

What time does the racing start and when does it usually finish?

I'd like to come and watch the racing for bit either Wed. night or Saturday depending on what day the 1/10 2WD SCT run.

Are slicks still the tire of choice?

Crowd is good for 2wd buggy, usually 2 heats. Other heat is a mix of trucks and stadium trucks.

Racing starts around 7 and finishes around 10

Looks like I'm going to make the trip. I will bring my stadium truck just in case there is enough for a class.

So, in a double dose of stupid... I had to delete last weeks vids off the camera to record the videos last night. Didn't have any way to upload them while I was at the track so they are gone Maybe I should get a bigger memory card. Anyway, the vids from last night will be up shortly.

Big thanks to everyone who helped me get the truck up and running last night. Special thanks to Mimi for putting most of the kit together and the soldering work, and to Paul for the sweet paint job!

I had a great time Wednesday night. Mimi's always has awesome competition, it's tough to just make the A main on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to the Winter season.

Hello all. I'm new to the forum but I've been keeping my eye on this thread for a while. I'm happy to see that there are some stadium trucks showing up. I just revived my old T2 and I'm anxious to take it to a track. It looks like 'The Track' is the only track in a 30 mile radius to me (I live in Frederick, MD). After rebuilding my T2 and doing a brushless conversion my oldest son ebay'ed a T4.1 and he's busy trying to get the controls down and fine tune his driving. We should have two stadium trucks to bring down after getting in some practice time.

Is there a recommended 2.2 tire for The Track's surface? I've seen slicks mentioned, and I'm wondering if Proline's "Prime" model in supersoft or the MC would work. Would a different model or a different brand of tire work better?
