Looking at the schedue. there is no mention of a 1/8 scale class, truggy or buggy. Is all that is going to run on this track 1/10 SCT and 1/5 scale? Or did I miss something somewhere?

1/8 & 10th Scale Tracks
I am heading out to work on the track today. I am going to redo some of the jumps and work on the store. If your around, stop on out. Yesterday we worked on the 1/5th scale track and put down a nice open layout! There is almost a 200' long strait stretch now with two drop down jumps!
Our first race in on May 15th. Practice will be open at 9am. Racing will start at 2pm. Registration will be from noon until 1:30. We will be running Short Course, 1/8 & 1/10 Scale trucks. All of our classes are on www.wkrchobbies.com. ALL RACE RULES AND CLASSES WILL BE POSTED BY MONDAY NIGHT ON OUR SITE. I will also post up here with everything. We will have power available onsite for people to use. Bring extension cords of your own to use please.
Everyone remember to respect the property that our tracks are on. We have been granted permission to use this land as long as the business and property are respected and kept clean. So please help us in doing this. Also, do not park in front of ANY OF THE STORAGE UNITS. These units must be available for any of the tenants to come and use at any time. If you unpack and set up shop in front of one of these units, you will be asked to move.
Saturday before racing we will discuss the rules and also discuss moving our series to a Sunday race series. So ponder your thoughts, and post up and let us know how everyone feels about the possibility of running on Sunday afternoon at 2:30pm. That would give us finish times of around 6pm. ALSO REMEMBER THAT TUESDAY RACING AND OUR SATURDAY RACING ARE TWO SEPARATE POINT SERIES. We will start the Tuesday night series and see how the interest is and go from there. If there isn't a lot of interest, we will not run it. If there is, we will keep it going or we can switch it to another day of the week to accommodate the majority of racers!
The store will be open for a few hours today and also throughout the week after 5pm. We will be getting our order of nitro fuel and other parts this week so we will be nice and stocked up this weekend for our first week of racing!

The 5th scale track is looking nice, I stopped out yesterday and today. The big track is coming along nice, it was nice and dry and I was able to put down a full lap before I blew my freshly built tranny into a million pieces
Somehow I had a washer that must have stuck to a gear after greasing it inside the case.
Also craig I need these T4 parts
Front rims x2
rear rims
Proline calibers 2.2 whatever compound you can get them, sorfter the better and Factory team battery thumb screws.
Also if anyone is interested or you know someone looking I have some caliber sc m2's. One pair mounted and one not, as well as a set of slash tires, and strike tires mounted.
I am also looking to sell my Losi strike if anyone is interested. It is a great stock truck, has a bunch of blue aluminium and cvd's as well, lipo ready. I'll have a couple of other cars for sale out there as well on saturday.

Unreal...
So, I installed an 11.1 volt 5300 Li-Po into my new Slash Platinum. Big pinion, small spur...... I tell ya what, I have more than a few fast rides. But I have not ever driven an R/C of any kind that went as fast as that Slash went!!! I would estimate it was 60+
mph. And it didn't take it long to hit that speed. Easy on them brakes too, road gets covered in a big hurry.When I drove it past me going around 30 mph, and pinned the go trigger... it spun all four tires with relative ease. There is no way it could be driven in anything but a straight line. Talk about twitchy steering. That speed was/is just totally impractical. But, it sure was fun!!! Back to smaller pinion 50 tooth spur. Heck its all I have left cept a 54 tooth. That 11.1 made short work of the first spur. Slop in the way it can move around I'm thinking.
All I can say if anyone tries something like this, you'll need a nice smooth road at least two long city blocks long and have the truck set up to go straight witout steering input. Just crazy is all I can say, crazy fun! But be careful, its quite the projectile!

I went out to the track yesterday with the compactor and flattened out all of the spots with loose dirt ( the back straight, table top at the start of the straight, corner at the end of the straight as well as a couple of other areas). I wanted to flatten it out in time for the rain we would be having today, it looks like mother nature will be doing her best to finish the flattening job. Definitely going to be a smooth track come Saturday.

Awesome! Now we just need to do some racing and get a nice groove laid down...

Hopefully we dont get to much washout on that back section cause Nick (orange) got it really flat.
If anyone is up for going out early saturday to help button things up it would be greatly appreciated, just need to finish getting the back straight straight. Also adding a couple piles of dirt and smoothing them out in a few more spots.
I also picked up some fencing for around the hot tub, its only 2 feet tall but should work good. But I dont have any stakes for it so if anyone has any that would help as well.
