I would like 5 min quals and 8 min mains with the exception of maybe 4x4 sc- let them vote like you did at the nitro series. Pretty sure most other classes can go at least that long. I just ran 20 min with a mod 2wd sc this weekend in an enduro race and the battery still had more....

We run 5 min qualifiers with 6 min mains.. That should be enough for the 4x4.. I know some of these guys run 540 can motors.. And 6 minutes is pushing it with those.. But agreed.. 2wd can go longer.. Maybe 8 is a good number.. But keep it to either 5-6 qualifier.. That way its a big difference in the main.. Nitro usually runs what?? 6 min qual, then 20 min a main.. Keep it like that.. Short qual, long mains.. I think..

6 mins heats with 8 min mains. I know Granger has been running 8 min everything and seems to work for everyone but 4x4 sct because of heat issues. But that was on the 100+ day so they might be running everyone 8 mins. I really like how kings is doing the starts for the heats. Everyone is on their own clock but a heads up start. You can hang back if you want to avoid the first turn pile up and still be on your own clock.

Interested to see the track list and dates for this series..
$.02, most big races cap race lengths to 5 min. heats, 6-7 min A-mains and lower mains (like mine
) being 5 min.

I'll work on a track list as we get closer to the season. I have to be careful not to set a race on other large events in the area and in other states that some of the top racers attend. Most likely that will be in Dec to Feb time frame. It really depends on what gets posted out on the web. But I do feel I can get a commitment sooner from tracks.
As posted before by Jonny5 this WILL be a huge event with 150 to 200 entries. Possibly exceeding the NITRO series in attendance the very first year. How long each round takes does depend on entries but more importantly how fast everyone works with the announcer.
I think in the interest in time we should run 5 min qualifiers and 3 rounds of qualifying using qual points. This being the first season I feel 8 min "A" mains and 6 min lower should be a good start. As always 2 bump ups.
This should keep the day at a fair amount of time. However if we do exceed the 200 mark, i feel its best to cut a qualifier out.
Sound good???

On a different note, do any electric players race 2wd truck any more? I'd like to race 2wd mod truck at this series and eat ice cream, maybe at the same time.
