Bernie, if you are seeing this, there are several of us that have leaf blowers and sprayers. I for one, don't mind lending a hand. Your pull behind sprayer is awsome, but if it is in need of repair, 2 or 3 pump-up units will get the job done pretty easy. Just say the word and we will bring them out.
Have you thought about the traction goop that Toledo uses? Gotta tell ya' it works AWSOME!

I have a good blower. It's my sprayer I have some problem. castor oil screwed it up.

I think we will have 1/8th 1/10th nitro. 1/8th spec class. and open electric sedan. witch will be 10 minute mains. Yes lipo's and brushless will be aloud. all car must meet roar rules weights.

Stripe guys can't come til tomorrow hope it don't rain

Wow! Ten minute mains! Cool! Rubber or foam tires, or open?











Sounds like fun to me, and not pushing the limits of technology right off the bat. Weights shouldn't be too much of an issue, but that's a GREAT start. I'm really looking forward to racing there this summer. I can't wait!


Is there power outdoors anywhere to tap into, or will we need generators if we choose to pit outside?

I think the 1/8 spec is going to be one of those 1/8 buggy-based on road cars. Should be a great class for getting into on-road. They are more forgiving and durable than most.

Damn, I was hoping it would be something based on cars that could potentially run in the full 1/8th open class, using spec tires, motors and exhaust.



Ah well... it was a nice thought.


Any photos of the track yet?

Yeah, Duneland.....you don't remember, you were the one promoting that SPEC class...........current 1/8th on road car BUT using sub $200 buggy or pull start type engine to power the 1/8th on road to keep the cost down, remember?

I think that is the class..............

About 1/10th open EP........even 4800/5000 lipo.......does ppl find out what brushless motor will last 10 minutes...? I don't have a chance to try testing my 4.5/4800 lipo on my TA05R enough nor I have the lipo cut off...but I am not confident to say 4.5 with 4800 will last 10 minutes...not at the 1/8th track when throttle is wide open most of the time probably...

The track barrier system is similar to other permanent layouts. You've got painted lanes, with coner dots at the apexes (for now... painted curbs coming soon), and boards to prevent track cutting and head-on collisions.

Oh, and (weather permitting), I'll be there Saturday morning and I'll bring my tow-behind sprayer. Just need Bernie's tractor to tow it.
