You'll enjoy the great big track and all the good guys. We scheduled two test and tunes so we should be able to sort things out. Weather is also a concern early in the season.

Sorry, but yes mod sedan will have to be limited to a 2S lipo max for season points. You can for sure experiment with 3-4S but not race for points with that set up.
It was discussed and agreed that all that reserve power and additional efficiency could be an unfair advantage.
True Russ. The difference is and you know that sedan rules on the power system has been well established. we are firm on 2S for sedans concerning the point series.

I have been running 3s in my mod TC from the very first Saturday EL race at the mall out door track.(I call that well established) but I get it so that makes no difference.
SOooooo
>>>>>> NEWS UP DATE <<<<<<<
WE (not your we) had a meeting yesterday and WE are starting another class this year (1/10th open mod TC class)
To run in this class the use of any and all technology available to get longer run times, cooler temps and/or better efficiency is strongly encouraged.
X-prize and Guinness will be notified of our attempts.
The 13.5 motors are used in super stock, 10.5 or less has been proposed but not finalized.
We will discuss rules at our class drivers meetings, at the track.
Stay tuned for more info.
Open Mod TC class CEO

We'll try to group similar type and performing cars together to get the best action if we do not have at least 3 cars to make a class race. We have run 13.5ss sedans in mod and VTAs with the 17.5 stock sedans. There has not been enough VTAs or SS sedans to have a series championship yet. We will not be running 1 or 2 car races.
We have a formula for determining a season point series and awards.
If 3 cars of the same class show for 50% of the races ran 1 award will be issued, if 5 cars show for 50% then 2 awards and if 7 or more show for 50% then 3 awards will be issued. So if three of the same class cars race for 50% of the actual races then that class will exist for season points.
We will count 75% of the races actually run for points. So if we have 12 actual races your best 9 races will count for points. Assuming you have 9 or more races.
A good portion of the racers are not concerned about season stuff they just wanna come and play for the fun of it.

Yes, Barry from MSI. Soon to join the "Medicare Team". He and I are very close in skill level. He raced every week once he discovered us.
How many new racers are you stirring up for this season? So far it looks like around 4-5 from what I see.

Schedule update
There has been a slight update to the nitro schedule and a note added about the new specific RC4 transponders not being compatible with our scoring. All other transponders are still compatible. If you are to purchase a new AMB(MyLaps) transponder make sure it is a "Hybrid" version.
Schedule is on page 9 post #129

Spoke to Barry Barry during the fall and he expressed interest in coming down.
Really glad to hear he will be joining us this summer.
He was talking about converting a MBX-6 into an on road, is he still going that route or is he trying another car?
I've been spreading the word hoping to get as many people as possible to come race. It would be really nice if we can get 2 heats of GT8

Barry is looking into a GT8 specific chassis. He is close to getting an Ofna GT-V2. I've been racing every Sunday with him at the Hobby Stop.
How's Lesh doing and is he gonna race?

Just a PSA
Bruckner Hobbies this year have reduced prices on Alphas and Sweeps EXP's
Both are now $24.99 a pair. I'm sure if you've been looking around for tires you know that's pretty much unbeatable prices especially with free priority shipping(usually 2-day)
I've ordered from them literally dozens of times and Tom and his employees have always came through. Really great company to support and keep around.
No reason to purchase tires any place else

Russ might if he could bring house transponder just in case. We will not have any to supply to the racers. I Don't think they were needed much if at all last season.
