Default 2014 Spektrum Off-Road Championships

Believe it or not summer has actually passed us by – that’s right, Labor Day is actually in the rearview mirror. Hard to believe that snow is falling in northern reaches of the country. Shortening days and lit fires will rekindle the need for something warmer… may we suggest a side of white hot competition to go with your hot chocolate?

This years’ white hot competition comes in the convenient packaging of the 2014 Spektrum Off-Road Championships at Trackside Raceway in Wisconsin!

Bold team changes, award-winning new cars and exciting new classes will once again be on display for the event!! Who will take the title this year?? Big names and local hot-shoes will compete for their places atop the podium!!

Like last year, the 2014 Spektrum Championship will be run over a total of 5 days (2 days of practice, 2 days of qualifying and one day of hot Mains!)

The schedule is as follows:
Weds Nov 5th: Practice Day #1 (Open Practice, 11am – 8pm)
Thurs Nov 6th: Practice Day #2 (Controlled Practice, 11am – 8pm)
Fri Nov 7th: Qualifying Day #1 (Open at 8am, 2 Rounds of Qualifying begin at 9am)
Sat Nov 8th: Qualifying Day #2 (Open at 8am, 2 Rounds of Qualifying begin at 9am)
Sun Nov 9th: MAINS DAY!! (Open at 7am, Mains begin at 8am – Awards to follow)

Once again, the gilded pipes of Scotty Ernst will call the action… this time from the palatial new scoring suite!

I strongly suggest you pay during sign-up so you are guaranteed a spot for the race.

13.5 Wheeler? Giggity!

If memory serves correct, last year we had the option of adding additional classes at the track, is this still an option? Not sure what my second class is gonna be yet.

Default Additional Classes

It is still the best practice to pre-register for all classes. We still have a maximum number of entries and physical racers for the building and timeframe. Additionally, we order the awards in advance for the event and need a firm count in order to have the correct number purchased.

Thanks

Is that 17.5 vintage motors only? So I could use a D3.5?

Good Morning All,

We are just shy of one week into this years' registration process for the 2014 Spektrum Championship.... and the entries are hitting rcsignup.com at an incredible rate!

As of this morning we are at 148 total entries. Clearly we are going to hit our maximum capacity quickly again this year... please make sure to get your entry in ASAP in order to reserve your spot for what is bound to be another fantastic event!

Naturally this will bring up the questions of a "wait list." As soon as we reach our maximum capacity for racers (not necessarily entries) we will begin our waiting list. At the time we hit our capacity, we will notify racers via the different boards as well as email where possible.

Additionally, please remember that your spot is NOT considered official until it is paid for. As the entries are received via rcsignup.com they need to be manually accounted for and changed to paid - we will try to stay on top of this and change the entries to paid as quickly as possible but there will be a delay in some cases. If you have indeed paid for the event, but your entry remains in the unpaid status please send an email to [email protected] . In many cases it can be difficult to match the entry to the Paypal account used for the payment.


We look forward to seeing everyone in November!! Keep the entries coming!

Kraig - Your age qualifies you to run any Vintage class offered.... Comes with that AARP card you were flaunting.

Hey now...don't you know who I am? Because if you do could you tell me and by the way, do you know where I put that card after I flaunted it?
