The Warp 240 Endurance Race at TimeWarp Raceway HobbyTown L.I.T.H
#46
I think 2 hours of building and 4 hours of racing is plenty of time for good battles and hijinks, and 8 hour would be way too long. Most of the racers are offroad guys, they have shorter attention spans.

The spots went a lot quicker than I thought they would, I didn't even end up on a team. Next time I'm in for sure though.

THIS IS FRIGGIN AWESOME.
WHAT ABOUT THE TIRES....ANY TESTING DONE TO BE SURE THEY LAST?
CAMBER AND TOE AND SUGAR WATER EQUALS BLOWOUTS.
I REMEMBER VTA TIRES NOT LASTING LONG IN HOT WEATHER AND HUMIDITY.
HAVE A BLAST HOPEFULLY ILL MAKE IT OUT TO WATCH

Drivers' Stand
So I raced here for the first time yesterday and had a great time. Well organized, nice close competition and some fairly clean driving.
My concern is that in VTA we had 8 on the drivers' stand and it was pretty tight. And these were pretty average sized guys, not the biggest I've raced with. I'd say 6 to 7 on the stand is probably the comfort limit and I'd also be worried about how much weight the thing can withstand. So where are 12 teams going to put drivers for the endurance race? I suppose we could bring a step stool or something to stand on but don't know how that would play out from a safety perspective. Just wondering if anyone is thinking about a solution for this ahead of time?
I guess this is extra incentive to win the building contest or Concours to get a good spot on the stand!

It was all ready talked about no drivers
Stand this is what I was told every one will stand on the grass
And the drivers stand will be removed.

The bodies can be picked starting tonight. Remember that the concourse winner gets to start on the outside front row and pick their driving spot.
#58
Has a schedule been set yet? Build start time, race start time, etc?
#60
I will have the race schedule set in a couple of days and post it here and on facebook.
Thanks again I do appreciate the offer but I think we figured something out that will work.
