I have had a great time racing inside on the dirt oval, but I can't wait to get back outside to do some off road racing. I am planning on racing 1/8th scale nitro.

See you at the track

This years Sizzler series will be a total of 11 races starting in May and going through September. Racers must make 9 out of the 11 races to qualify for plaques and awards. We will adjust series requirements if we loose any races due to weather and are unable to make those races up.

We have moved our summer racing to Sunday afternoons with the track opening at 2pm and racing starting at 3:30pm. Please be signed in by 3pm. If weather may effect that days race please check our home page for changes to start times in order to get the races in.

Class rules can be found here

Schedule for racing can be found here

Should be a great summer of racing here at Tea's Hobby Shop and R/C Raceway.

Who is in for 1/8th scale racing this Sunday? Just wondering what kind of a turn out there might be?

I hope this wet/cold weather clears up before the weekend. I want to do some racing.

See you at the track

I think for Nitro Buggy the Welch's will be down and I'm sure Adam G will be here as well maybe a couple more! For Elec Buggy I'm thinking there maybe close to 6 for that class. So far the CORR truck classes seam to be coming together pretty well. Box stock looks to be hurting some as most people have been changing tires soon after driving the truck.

Weather looking to be in our favor for the kick off event for the Sizzler series!

We will split classes if there is interest and enough cars for the points series. IE nitro and electric. I will ask around if we should keep the classes split or run together for larger classes.

I'll be there with my Hyper 9e and the new Blitz ESE! Having tried only the Blitz stock tires (which I picked up cheap, no tires in the ESE box) in practice yesterday, I can definitely see why people are switching out tires right away. The Blitz was unbelievably tail-happy. With very careful use of the throttle it was fine, but it was quite difficult to get enough speed to clear some of the jumps.

Weather couldn't sound any more perfect, at this point. Hopefully we'll get a day or two of sun later this week to allow for some more practice.

How will the points work if you split the nitro and electrics if there is a race day where not enough people show up to run one of the classes?

Pretty much it would work like this. Lets use 1/8 buggy for example. For each racer running 1/8 Buggy as the generic title racers running electric would have an "E" at the end of there name. All 1/8 buggys would run together for that days event and would get points. 50 points to first with a 2 point spread down to 5th place with 6th on down all receiving 40 points(helps keep from people feeling like they are falling way behind quickly). A TQ point of 1 will be added to the highest qualifier for both nitro and electric on to there earned points that day.

Though in the standing over the summer it may look like Tim Anderson E is running in 2nd place he may actually be the leader of the "E" class. I guess it is like road racing where there are different division all running at the same time but there is one leader for each division running.

It may take a couple races for it to make scene but in my mind it should work out and have more cars in one class rather then only a few in a couple classes.
