Here is the 2016 schedule for the Texas state series:
2016 SWCS Schedule
SWCS 2016*
Asteriks * denote other known important races listed within the schedule or*
footnote at bottom.*
SWCS #1- 2/27-28 Porter*
**
SWCS #2- 3/19-20 DFW*
SWCS#3- 4/23-24 Porter*
*5/27-29- 39th Texas Biggie*
**
SWCS #4- 6/25-26 Porter*
**
SWCS #5- 7/30-31 DFW*

The 5th scale class will run all the DFW races for sure (at the Rendon track). The Porter track is a bit narrower for these cars to run but I will try to make the first race and do some test running.

Yesterday, got a chance to do some testing and tuning in a local parking lot, getting ready for the upcoming racing season. Here are some pics of us and our cars (the BMW is the electric FG). Got one more that will join the group locally in a few weeks. Had some spectators and a couple of visitors in which their interest was peaked. Looking good for 2016.

It is now official: 5th scale has been added as a class to the 2016 Texas Biggie!! Through some negotiations from my other 5th scale partner and RCRCNT, it will be a racing class at this year's event. So, if you have one, bring it down and join in the fun!!

Still have my car, but no place to race here in P.R. 
there about 6 cars here, I tried to get something going, but did not have any luck. post lots of pic of the first race in Texas, i'll stop the pain with them.

So far,things have been clicking along with getting the class organized. Check out my FB page where I have a few more pics posted as well as a short video (from 1/23/16 test/tune day in a parking lot). Going to try to get some testing done on the local track this coming Saturday with one of the guys helping to get this class up and running. Since we are running IFMAR rules and classes (outside of the new spec class), there will be a place for you to run class-wise.

If not, PM me what you have and what you are asking for each car. I will keep on the lookout for buyers in my area for you.

Thanks for considering coming down. It would be nice to see the more seasoned 5th scaler race and show us newbies how it is done.
