Due to weather and forecasted cool day on Saturday, we are moving the opening Race 1 to Sunday March 16th.

Otto does not have a race on Saturday, so the track will be in great condition for the electric vehicles.

Racers, its time to get this series underway. It may be cold the next few days, but the Weather forecast is looking really good with 50-60 degrees all weekend with little chance of rain.

Its been a while since many have raced so a few reminders to make everyones event as enjoyable as possible.  Many have converted to 2.4ghz equipment, and many have not. We should have several Ready-To-Run Outfits at our events, so ALWAYs acquire the proper frequency clip BEFORE you turn on your radio. And on Race Day, you must register BEFORE running on the track. The track is open to Registered Racers Only.

After several discussions, I am adding an Exhibition Class to the events. There are several racers building JConcepts J82 buggys. JConcepts introduced the revolutionary new vehicle concept a few weeks ago. The J82is the buggy which combines the drivability of a 1/10th truck with the fascination of a buggy. We will run the buggys under the J82 Rules created by JConcepts. It is pretty much a spec class for now using Associated T4's with JConcepts J82 Wheels Front and Rear, Truck Rear Tires (special fronts), and JConcepts J82 Buggy Body.

1/8th Electric 2wd Rules
10.5 Brushless or 19T Brushed Motors
6 Cell NimH or 2S Lipo
6 Minute Heats
15 Minute A-Mains
10 Minute Sub Mains

Tire rules:
Rubber only - Cutting or modifying the tread is allowed. Modifying the tire carcass is prohibited (i.e. no "CUT" tires - whether they started as a standard truck rear tire or not).

No quick change tires allowed.

Batteries:
Six cell maximum or comparable Lipo battery pack (hard shell recommended)

Transmission:
Singe speed transmissions only

Suspension:
Independent

Body Style:
Buggy or other off-road style body that resembles an actual off-road racing buggy type vehicle.

I will work with some partners to add awards, but for now if you want to try the class, we are only going to charge $10 entry fee while it is an Exhibition Class. If you interested in running this class, email me so we can try and get all the buggys together for a good demo.

More Information is available about the J82 on JConcepts website.

See everyone on Sunday.
