In like Erasure in the 80s

LOL, never knew they were in

Nexus who the heck is Erasure???


I am in too

This race is going to be BOSS

Sounds like fun.

Do you have to pre-register?

Thanks

No need to preregister, just sign up when you get there on the 10th.

Is there a sportsmans class ?

any particual reason why there is no 12th scale stock? Is there not enough interest to hold a 12th scale stock class?

There is no 12th stock for 2 reasons - #1. 12th scale open mod is our most popular 12th scale class and #2. we have zero entries weekly for 12th stock

switchblade irp is a very good sized track inside and outside. stock 12th scale would be like running stock touring car outside .. track is way to big for 12th scale stock

i dont know if you have ever been there but both tracks are of good size

ya the only reason i asked was because...1.) I dont have a mod motor....2.) I dont have the money right now to buy different tires to run mod or a mod motor itself....and 3.)ive never driven mod and really wouldnt want this to be my first race...but I guess then I just wont go...no problems or anything

not trying to cause problems just letting you know why stock is not usually the motor of choice in 12th scale class

o ya i understand....its no problem...we race stock here at trackside and have everyday since probobly march or so...so its all good...just want to visit some of the surrounding tracks sometime.

classes
 

Where are the 19t classes? :flaming:

i dont know if this is the answer you are looking for, but I think in open mod you can run a 19 turn motor

Hey Switchblade, there is a good chance I will be running my 19T Reedy that day, so if you want to run 19T with me, you won't be alone. Unless I happen across a good mod motor by then, I'll probably be testing the 19T for the All-Star Carpet Series events.

I agree, though, tires and batteries are very different from stock to mod 12th, it's kind of hard to jump between the classes unless you plan really far in advance. I'm nervous to run mod right off the bat (I have never run anything other than a stock motor in a 12th scale car ever), and it may keep me at home for that race, specifically. I'm not sure yet.

Would the organizers consider a new class if there are enough racers that want to run stock (or 19 turn) 1/12 scale?

I want to run 1/12, but would be worried about running open mod with it. Right now my classes would be stock foam 1/10 and mod 1/12 --- strange combination.

Having said that, you can't please everyone and I'm a strong believer the customer isn't always right. So sometimes it is the racers that need to be flexible.

I know if it were a matter of trophies, I could care less that my class was a trophy class or not. I just want to race, and I don't want to be in over my head to start off the season in a new class. If it came down to having enough for a stock or 19T class, I would rather be in either of those classes than mod, so you could count me as one if you need three to make a class of either.

Again, it's completely the promoter's option, but to start the season, there are a lot of new 12th scale cars on shop benches out there waiting for the indoor season to begin. I don't know how many of them are ready to jump into a modified class right off the bat, but I could be completely wrong. If it were a matter of racing mod on Saturday or stock/19T on Sunday's regular on-road carpet day, I'd be apt to choose Sunday for previously expressed reasons.


Don't want to start any controversy, just expressing an opinion and viewpoint from a retread-newbie.

Traction compound
 

What traction compound is allowed to be used at your track. I know some tracks only allow a certain kind, just wondering what you are going to allow.

Can I run a 19T in your open mod touring class. Wanted to use this as a warm up for Las Vegas.

Thanks,

Mike T.

19t
 

If you have enough people wanting to run 19T sedan, would you consider adding a class?

We do not have any traction compound rule. in the open Mod class it is open so you can run whatever you wanted in it as far as motors go.

This race we decided to limit the classes for trophys to 4, on a regular sunday race i dont see a problem if people wanted to run 19t foam instead of either stock or mod. We will not be adding any classes for this race day, the trophys have already been ordered. I know we can not please everyone so we picked these classes to please as many as possible. Again these classes are for this Sept. 10th trophy race only and does not mean these are the classes you can run on a regular Sunday race day.

yea...c'mon the classes are set...lets just race! :)

if you want to run a 19T or Stock in 12th scale you can...it's an Open Mod class so run anything.

Open Mod Sedan...again it's "Open" so run whatcha brung.

c'mon...i'm thinking of running stock rubber and Open Mod Foam...how's that for different. it's all for fun anyway so let's just do dis :lol:

What....There is never going to be any 19t racing....Ahhh man....good thing I sold all my stuff last week. :lol:

Anyway.....I would like to run Stock Foam and 19t Foam and I dont have any issue running in open mod so if thats the case its cool with me.

Looking forward to this race! :nod: I'm in for stock-foam TC. Just two and a half weeks away...

decisions decisions... Im in for either stock foam or stock rubber. I'm kind of hoping more people will post what they are running to help me decide.

Mod 12th, and I'm going to try to go out on the 3rd to practice. We'll see if those plans fly...

since there is no real database and i'm too lazy to make one...just keep copying and pasting this list in the thread with what you plan to run.
