Hey I was thinking about getting back into off road, with the new building going up and all. And I was wondering, is mod buggy a popular class., and if so is the b4 still a good car?

So, lets start talking about racing...
Friday night has been very successful for electric racing, so I don't want to change that at all.
I'm struggling with whether or not to have Saturday night racing for nitro or keep a mixed bag on Sunday afternoon like we've done since we started racing offroad.
Maybe Saturday night for the winter and then back to Sundays for the summer so we aren't running at the same time as carpet racing?
My main concern is that with the nitro side of things struggling a bit lately, marshals and pitting could be a real problem.
I have no doubt that we'll grow and gain racers once we get going again, but I don't want to change our raceday if there's a possibility of losing the racers we already have.
I'm also going to add a beginner nitro class so we can try and get some new blood going.
Now on to Tuesday Short Course Night...
This will be something totally different than the traditional type of RC Racing, and something I've been thinking about for some time now.
We're going to have "motos"; Heads up races to qualify for the main event. We'll take a set number straight to the main event. Then we'll have an LCQ for the final spots. All the races will be a set number of laps instead of timed races.
For the main event in each class, we'll run two races. The first according to qualifying order, the second in reverse finishing order, and then we'll combine the two scores to determine that nights winner.
I'm really excited about this and want all of you to be excited as well. We took a major step forward with the buiding today. I can't wait to see how much they get done next week!

From what I had heard, I thought Dirt Oval was going to be ran on Saturday night. I kinda like doing the Sunday thing personally, just works better for me. Guess it all depends on what happens with carpet roadcourse this fall. Just my .02, not that it matters!

Dirt oval will be ran alongside carpet oval during the day.

Personally I think you should run all 1/8 Buggy, Truggy, and EBuggy on the same day. Sunday preferably since that's my only day off. You could also keep a slightly mixed bag too. Like 1/10th Mod buggy. 4 classes seems reasonable. 2 qualifiers and a main for each. Start at 11, you could be done by 3 or 4.
But that's just my 2 cents.

That makes even more sense!! Then run it on Saturday nights!! Will you be running the SC stuff on whatever night or day...In addition to the Tuesday night deal..Also did my Tekin stuff come in today. RS Pro, 4.5 550, sway bars, and some other crap for the sc10 4wd?

The Tekin stuff is at the Plex. Sway bars are still on back order.
We'll run all the electric classes during the "traditional" format on Friday night.
So if anyone can't make Tuesdays or whatever, they can still race SCT's on Friday.
