whats the deal w/the 2011 layout?

Full Montee

I assume your writing about the layout of the big offroad dirt track.
In the past the goal was to have a new layout for the visiting race series. Example would be dirt and layout changes before ROAR races or RC Pro series.
This way traveling racers never see the same layout, unless they club race or practice the week before.

For the remainder of the club races we typically change the pipes or a jump.

Depending on volunteers and equipment Dwane aims to not take the track down longer than 6 to 7 days.

If there is a feature you'd like to see or recommendation feel free to suggest it here or call the shop.

Looks good to me Robert. I prefer Saturday racing but appreciate the fact your trying do a little of everything to make everyone happy. Maybe toss in a few trophy races. Maybe a money race if this weekend goes well.

Just an idea. When it comes to money races I've seen tracks base payout on the number of entries. This way the track still makes money without the fear of taking a loss if the turn out is low.

Facebook is convenient instead of searching through pages of a thread looking for pictures. Also most Smartphones support posting to Facebook so anyone can post even while at the track :-)

The exact mix of races Harold are still up for discussion. I've got about 18 days picked out on the calendar and once the visiting race series firm up their dates we'll know more.

Robert,
Facebook is great for those that have it and use it but some of us do not have facebook or want it, the forums here can be very helpful. The more place's you have to get the word out the better though. So I see both sides. Keep up the good work for 2011.

Thanks Steve I'm trigger happy and ready for some Electric ROAR racing this year!

Also the way the Facebook site is setup it doesn't require logon to view the content like you may be accostumed to when vieweing personal Facebook pages.

I totally agree, and great Ideas to do trophy/ cash races, anything to bring in the racers. I’m looking forward to offroad season as well, me and Bjames is already built a Truggy, and I am getting one soon so I’ll run buggy and truggy this season. Nitro is much better than electric for those who enjoy long A-mains and pit stops. I would prefer Saturday racing as well, however if you guys think more people will race Sunday then its worth it to wait till Sunday to race.

Are we going to do double or triple A mains for the electrics?

When will the series start?

Mike

Typically we start in March if the weather allows.
Also we are waiting for ROAR, VA State Series, and RCOS to finalize their schedules so we minimize the conflicts with the club races.

If we'd like to run double or triple A mains it would work to discuss it here and discuss with Dwane so that we may speak to both racers who are here and those that only visit the shop.
