GT3 - silver can or 21.5 no boost - so basically our USGT class
GT2 - 17.5 no boost
GT1 - 13.5 no boost

I'll be racing GT1 for sure and possibly GT2 (if I can find a Tamiya tub car to borrow) so I'd be up for either 17.5 or 13.5.

Any interest?
I like this idea Paul . . . . .

Thumbs up

Yes it is!!!!


Only two races left in final 2012 Wednesday Series.

Ken McKinney has wrapped up the USGT & F1 but the battles for the 2nd, 3rd & 4th spots will come down to the final laps. Jason Hall, Paul Dailey & Dustin Gochanour are separated by only the 4 points in USGT heading into tonights racing. In F1, 2nd thru 5th are separated by 23 points. Sounds like a lot but, with the unpredictable nature of F1, anything can happen!!

In Trans Am, the battle is between Mark Z & Bob Roegge. Bob has a 17 point lead but, after Sundays race, Mark may have something for him the next two Wednesdays.

See everyone tonight!!

A lot of fun again tonight! I verified tonight that I am faster in Gt than vta which to me means I am doing something right. Still have to pick up whole seconds to match the a-main drivers, but I'm definitely faster than i was

I would say unfortunately no. Even though its not adjustable, traxxas software isn't equal to stock software that's roar or usvta/gt approved. But somebody may jump on and tell me I'm wrong so don't take my word just yet

It would be illegal, but they might let you run it until you get a correct one... Unless you win with it, then its cheating

All right guys, preparation for the NOVAK race starts today!!!

Alex will be building the new layout today & tomorrow and working on the track surface over the next two weeks. If anyone has some time to help out, get in touch with Alex to find out when and what needs to be done.

Next thing will be the pits. Everything needs to be cleared out and cleaned over the next two weeks. We'll be racing for the last time on Wednesday and be clearing out after. I'd like to have all the pit spaces clear out before this weekend so we can start getting and the tables in position and marked for each pit spot. This means we need all the pit mats, lights, chairs and any other equipment out so we can clean everything up.

Thanks,

Tim Ski
