Event Update
We have a few updates to give on the Homestead event.
The speedway requested that we adjust our program to run our mains on the same day as the Indy Car and GTP race which is Saturday the 24th.
So that will mean qualifying on the 23rd and mains on the 24th. This will put main day during the peak spectator time of the weekend.
Friday will be qualifying day for the GTP and Indy Cars. Saturday will have the GTP feature a concert then the Indy Car race at 8 pm.
Our objective for this event is to put a well ran R/C event in front of the estimated 30,000-50,000 spectators to help raise awareness of our Sport.
As well as get to see some full scale racing and have some fun.
So we will be setting a schedule once entries are in so everyone will know what time they will need to be trackside which should give everyone time to enjoy some of the other racing. We will plan to be done with mains before the Indy car races starts.
We will have display booths for companies to show their product to the spectators. These companies will not be able to sell to the general public but can sell to registered racers when they need parts.
We will be using most of the standard RC Pro on road program with a few deviations due to the special event.
Qualifying - 3 rounds of qualifying 10 minute qualifiers.
Single best qualifier seeds the mains.
The sportsman sedan, 1/8, 1/5 F1 & 1/5 Touring classes will run 30 minute A mains. B- mains 15 minutes C and lower 10 minutes.
Pro sedan & 1/8 will run triple A mains 15 minutes each. B mains 20 minutes & C and lower 15 minutes.
We will have our normal 120 entry limit for the 1/8 & sedan classes and an additional 30 entries available for the 1/5 classes.
We are working on hotel details so we can post those along with the flyer. The flyer will be posted next week. Sorry for the delay but we just want to make sure all details are taken care of before the flyer is posted.
