OK a serious post :P

Does The Track have a "house" tire truer? For some reason I thought it did, but maybe I'm confusing it with some other random track back in 2005 :P

At this point, the only RC I have is a Blade 120 SR, but seriously thinking of running 1/12th, but only if a truer is readily available.

muh huuh haaaa Jimmy and I were just chatting about when the Series went to "The Den". The carpet over the roller rink was awesome until a piece came up and a few 1/12th flew under the carpet during the race!!! LOL

Hmm I think I have pics from some old series races somewhere.

Thanks Snowy and keep me posted if you switch to a different tire. I look forward to running some this winter. Good to see you at the Nats.

What Pit-Shiumitzu is not the tire of choice?

They dont make a pre-mount and the company that did doesnt any more so yeah no they are not the tire of choice. I dont even think they are making sedan tires any more anyway they are hard to find even in Asia.

Smile mini racers it is go time!

WOW, these dates are awsome and with the races being at Erics I can say at least 4-5 minis from the Adelmeyer and Riesing families should be attending. Also note if things fall into place we will be looking at the TCS RACE soon after the last hurricane. I can't wait. The more the better get those M chassis cars ready.

Dates look good. Mini, f1 and VTA for me. Glad all the races are at The Track, much better chance of getting to them this year.

Thank You Brad and Kevin for continuing the series and to Eric for a great track to race at.

There are a few of us regulars at Hobbytown Oshkosh that are considering coming down. F1, Mini, VTA, and stock sedan, possibly USGT among us considering the trip. We have always wanted to visit The Track and this is the perfect excuse

Jeff

PS loving the rubber tire F1 class!

The F1 class seems to be trying to happen in Indy now but just using stock components. I'm considering getting one. If I'm able to make it to this race, can the F1's run with their stock silver can motors, or are 21.5 brushless motors a must?

You can race a silvercan with 21.5 so if you show up with a silvercan you will be able to race.

I'll second that motion, silver can motors are competitive with 21.5 non-boosted.

I would say yes....Eric does a good job with the layouts and each race will have a new one....no need to worry about that. Come on out this winter and have a good time...with HEAT in the pits....
