I am interested in 1/10 F1 electric racing in southeast Wisconsin.I think a spec class 21.5 brushless motor or 27 turn closed end bell brushed motor,rubber tires and F104 chassis specs would be a solid class to attract racers. Gary, are you a member of the Racine 1/8 nitro onroad club?I raced with that club back in the 1990's?

Yes that was me in club for last 40yrs I am looking for help with rule set-up and web part of racing, since I am nitro man and not up date with electrics. I have every thing to get track going and just need drivers and down scale track boards since electrics don't need larger retainer walls just 2x2 walls are enough.

I will offer to help.2x2's will work for outside perimeter of track.Harbor Hobbies uses fire hose for the inside layout of their parking lot track.It is easy to setup and take down plus easy on the cars.Eric,owner of Harbor Hobbies might know of source for the fire hose.

Check with your local fire departments guys. They are required to junk their hoses on a regular basis. I'm sure that you can get what you need from them, and if it goes to community use, it's a bonus.

Ours came from Great Lakes Naval Station. We stopped using the outer barriers this year on half the track mainly due to man hours to setup and teardown. It seemed to work with less overall breakage.

Yeah Formula R/C in Green Bay is just run in the summer months . So the addition of a winter program should help build the F1 series for all to enjoy . Are you planning on any other classes ?

It looks more like a Euro car to me, as well as a lame attempt to get into F1. I mean really CRC? Associated 10L stearing blocks for the front? Basically a pan 1/10th on road car with bolt on wings.
