Kawada Race
 

May I suggest a little amendment to the current rule of the Kawada race ...

Suggestion:

Can the race duration be reduced from 7 mins to 6 mins ? As the kawada race was meant to be a stock car race meaning that most racers should be running at the same speed. However, the guys running 1700 and 2000 mah cells are clearly at disadvantage since they have to gear their car like a pig to make runtime. Clearly, that would set a vast differences between them and the 3000 mah guys who can afford to gear theirs up up all the way.

This way, nobody can dispute and claim that whoever won solely on his superior equipments.

Please share your views

Melvin, I agreed with u and 6 mins race also means race can finish in time. Futher more I believed that there will be more participants in this race as it is a final series race and everybody is hoping to win the grand lucky draw though they don't win the race, especially me lah of coz. But all this we had to talk to the organiser himself. I think u can discuss it with Joe Hwee or Terrence Chu. But u needs someone to back u up like Wee Kiat, Charle's and other experieced/respected drivers to support u.

Yes, I agree. We must ask NovakBoy to approach the race committee. I feels that he's the most respected racer here. BTW, where's NB nowadays? Nobody told him about this web page meh?

Hmm if at a certain gearing they can run @ 7mins without dumping, won't this imply they *could* possible gear _even higher_ if the race length were to be decreased? Of course there is an extent to this but...

Rule I'd prefer IMHO would be to everyone use the standard brushes, since the motor is already standardized.

Then really is see who can take the corner better/setup better hehe.

Else yeah some ppl I met on track also say if u got the $$$ to buy the better esc and batts naturally will go faster...

Or better still, organize seperate heats for newer ppl in this game (aka me).

Duration
 

The problem for racers on 1700 mah is that they have to gear below average speed to make runtime. They could be on more average speed if the race's only 5-6 mins. The reduced duration does not necessary put the 3000 mah guys on better advantage since there comes a limit where the Kawada motor can be overgeared. The reduced duration would however put 1700 mah racers more on par in speed with the rest of the guys.

SAVE MONEY !!!! NO NEED to RACE anymore.

WE already know who are the king of Touring Cars. It's Mr S.K. and mmmmmmmm

yes I agree......next series can recommend 5-6 min run.(If there is):D :D

JoeHweeHwee, got detail of the th prizes ?? Did I win my dream prize of "ticket for two to Pheuket" ?? Thanks for the result compilation.

I'm sure it was a good experience for all who joined the races - tuning, perpirations, stress management, financial debts...
My next plan is to retire and open a hobby shop, because it's such good bussiness!!! hehehe But then, I'll wish that there's 2 Sundays per week, including the Sat, to cope with all this activities.

Congrats
 

Congrats to Ah M !! Our No.1 racer for the Kawada series. Super talented guy !

Urgent!!
 

Sorry!!

Due to some miscommunication between the CC and the CLUB, the hall is not available tomorrow. Thus the track will be place outdoor instead. pls make necessary changes to your tires. thank you.

Terrance,
Sorry to hear about the change in surface. Good chance I will not be able to run; I prepared only express radials, and since I only play mostly at night, my other tires are night-type tires.....

But i'll be down later today to try my car there. Hope the grip there good :)

Regards,
Alvin

Alvin: dun be surprise that night tires will work better during day!!

I will try!
