Ron- what was the part about batteries? Is there something new?

Standard classes? Mod rubber tc, rubber 13.5 open?/ 17.5 blinky tc , foam 10.5 tc, wgt 13.5, 12th 13.5?

I would be running wgt or foam 10.5 tc and rubber 13.5/ 17.5.

Not to sure what the TC classes will be run this year. ROAR is changing stock to 21.5 Rubber.

TC classes will be MOD, 17.5 or 21.5, Just depends on what we decide to do here in the NW I guess, but im assuming it will stay 17.5.. All rubber tires of course.


Anyone have a say on 17.5 or 21.5?

Or 17.5 and a novice class of 21.5?

Or 21.5 Boosted

lets make stock racing cheaper by making people buy motors every other year... my vote is to keep 17.5 cause everyone already has them lol.

novice 21.5 makes sense tho

The only news I have heard lately is that Timezone and H30 are not participating in the NWIC and instead focusing on growing and promoting their own big races this year.

That kind of leaves the series up a Sh*t creek.. IMO.. Some more info from track owners would be great..

That would leave.

RC PLUS
TRI CITIES
and maybe NORA

I heard that there wasn't going to be an official NWIC this year. It would be nice to have something to get the racing junkies through the winter...

Peter That has never been the case, we have supported the series every year we have been in existence. We got enough grief from everyone about series consistency we wanted to NOT have the TZGP be part of the series since it allowed us to have some freedom in class structure and spec tires. We added the race at the end of the year (which I am concerned about attendance) to try and keep the NWIC series full.

I believe it is was only the Hanger both last year and this year that has shown a desire not to be part of the series??????

I agree we need to find a way to agree on the classes and tires so it truly is a series, I think we missed that last year which appeared to fracture the series feeling a bit.

where is the like button?! lol




Mark/ Ron/ track mangers- It would really be cool to have a regional settlement on which tires we are going to rock at least timezone/ rc plus sort of thing so we don't have to keep 3 sets of touring tires... I understand the jaco blues are wearing out faster with the new ____ they are using. But I believe nailing down classes and tires would be a great thing even if we don't have an official series. We seemed to have good turn outs for tc 17.5/ 13.5/ wgt 13.5 boosted/ 1/12th. I will run 2 tc classes and wgt. Maybe do a survey of who would run which class to get a feel for what the masses want? Not that you guys don't know this already lol.
