Good morning,

Mini tires, unlike say GT tires, are fully defined Per Tamiya. Per the TCS rules there are 3 types of tires that you can use for the M Chassis:
• Item 26301 RC M-Chassis Pre-Glued Tires 60mm Ride SC-33M 2pcs• Item 54995 RC 60D Super Radial Tires/Soft 2pcs-with Any Tamiya M-chassis wheel & insert. • Item 54999 RC 60D Super Radial Tires/Hard 2pcs-with Any Tamiya M-chassis wheel & insert.
Unfortunately the club does not stock any of these, we only stock the GT tire, but I understand the super radials are much easier to come by then the Ride tires. Hope you are able to find what you need and see you Sunday!

​​​​​​​I may still have a stockpile of the older super radials tires and foam in one of my boxes so I will try to bring those along in case it is helpful to someone.

Thank you,
Collin

I know this is stated all over the TCS entry form and such, but just to be clear here as well for any newcomers, the track location is not at the Broadway Hobbies store location, we race at Edmonds Woodway High School 7600 212th St SW Edmonds WA 98026. The track itself is in the back parking lot closest to 216th street, across from the hospital, and near the tennis courts.

Thinking through when to arrive; what time do you expect the track to be open for some practice laps?
Thanks.

I am hoping to do concourse shortly after 10am and then be able to open the track for a bit with racing starting close to 11, but we will see how setup actually goes. We have some noise limitations that prevent blower use to clean off the track until later in the morning, but I think we can get a jump on the other things. If it was me, I would show up by 9 to get a spot and setup my things.

Hi All,

Prizes arrived today as planned from TamiyaUSA and Lou will be bringing the boxes down from the shop for us. If things go as planned on Saturday evening a couple of us will go over and do a little track pre-prep work to make things a bit easier on Sunday. On Sunday we are hoping to have the trailer there before 8am so we can start setting up. We are shooting to have registration open as early as we can and are going to try to have concourse and group pictures starting at 10 if all goes well. We will allow a little bit of practice time before things kick off, but not a lot as we have a huge number (85) of preregistered entries plus we usually have some folks drop in. If you have questions feel free to post them here or send a DM, just know that as of Sunday morning odds are we will not see them as things will be very busy. The weather is looking amazing for the day so plan accordingly. Also, Shawn will be bringing some soda from Tabletop Root Beer Shop if you want to try something from his cooler, it will probably run $3 a bottle. It is going to be a fun day!

Hi all, just a reminder that we swapped racing on 7/23 for 7/30 so that we did not have back-to-back the weekend after TCS, so no race this Sunday, see you on 7/30.

Is there going to be a writeup of the TCS anywhere online or even results posted? Thanks!

we’re most active on our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/galaxyrcracers

we’ve got results posted there but generally don’t post them here because rctech is a bit weird with attachments and makes it harder than any of us have the energy to overcome. The FB page is public so you don’t need an account to view it.

You know I have never thought of really doing this. Is it something people would like to see?

Thank you for posting the results link. Racing on Sunday 8/13 was a nice light day before the heat of this week rolled in. GT2 was the dominate class with fantastic racing for the top spots. While Wes had a lock on 1st for through day there was serious competition for the rest of the spots on the podium and also a great showing in the B main from Tony to get a spot in the A. F1, Novice, and Mini also had some great racing during the day. Personally, I was excited to get my M08 out on the track for the first time and start working on getting it under control. 8/27 will be our next race, setup starting at 9am. This is the last race currently confirmed, with 9/3, and 9/17 still in pending status with the district. With the holiday and to keep from being back-to-back we may pass on 9/3, but we will see. 9/30 will be the House of Fire car show which is a fun day of talking with folks that may be interested in racing and joining us in 2024. This winter we may look to setup some Mini Z racing, if you are interested let me know. Hope to see lots of folks on 8/27.
