Hi,

Any signs of a 1/12th class developing? I'll by a car and race if a class exists.

thanks,

Eric

Yes, 1/12 might even be the most popular class....

Visited and ran on the track this morning with my Mini Cooper. This is a great Mini track and watching Jesse run his TC, it's good there too. The track surface is like the old SoCal track and once it rubbers in a bit the grip is going to be very good. Apparently, Paragon is okay to use, so you can dig it out from the back of the shelf.

For the Mini guys, your old SoCal set up will put you in the ball park. Grip isn't quite as good so a little jiggling with the springs and shocks might be needed.

Let's put it this way. I had a great time and Jesse couldn't have been more helpful. Thanx for building the track and I'll be there frequently. I forgot to ask, but has a racing schedule been established?????

Forgot to post this. Absolutely no need for a "tuned" silvercan here. A stock one may be better

Bob, I'm glad you like the track. I was going to sell my Mini Cooper but I'm restoring it to run at Beltran and Speedtech. It will be a bit better now that I have taken a bit of help from ...... I can't say who!

Just got the ESC for it in the mail about 20 minutes ago. See you on the track!

I just ordered the new Orion ESC for my Xray so I'll be able to used the old BLesc in the 1/12th scale car. Might be ready to run on Saturday since my touring cars will be set-up for LM toys for tots...who's down?

I'll order a car tonight. I'd like to drop by the track Saturday but I'll be racing my 1/5 scale at the GLARCRC T4T race.

I bet USVTA cars with their 21.5 motors would be awesome on this track. I'll have to find a chance to bring mine down and try it out. Maybe if we get rained out in La Mirada on Sunday. Will you be open?

The track might not be the biggest but its open Monday - Friday and its a indoor track.. Everyone is welcomed to come race or practice. I know for me it gives me a place to go practice during the week and I am definately getting a 12th scale..

hey mike i changed the layout like you said so we can have a big sweeper now i need a faster motor! lol

Jesse, I'll thankyou for Mike, myself, and everyone else. That sweeper is the way to go. I'll try and get some recruits to go and have fun.

When it rains and you want to run your car, this is the place to be! Indoor track and pits, friendly staff, gated parking, Mc Sh** burgers across the street. I don't eat there but many of you do. Come try the track out. I will also have a Mini Cooper to run in the near future.
