classes discussion

The current track we setup is approximately 168'x60' with 12' lanes. Here is a drawing of the layout:


Here's ROAR's recommended track dimensions:
Scale/Class Surface Minimum lane width
1/12 Electric on-road – 4 cell Carpet or paved 6 feet
1/10 Electric on-road Carpet 8 feet
1/10 Electric on-road Paved 10 feet
1/10 Fuel on-road Paved 10 feet
1/8th fuel on road 12-15 feet

Obviously this type of track we setup will best suit most racing classes. So lets talk about classes. It is my hope to maintain novice class, Our core class will be super stock, and a modified for the -guys who want to go stupid fast.


Novice/stock
-Tamiya Mini cooper (mabuchi or black can sport tuned motors only)

Are we gonna run the same layout or put up a diffrent one?

Prolly the same since it was painted to the cement!

[R32]

I like that layout but I also think it would race better inverted left to right.

Listen up folks, with the new site I updated the available classes list and layout for a bigger track with wider lanes. The surface is so smooth we can be open to pan cars. Also with the larger lanes we can run nitro cars.

i have a inferno gt. I think that we could run 1/10th and1/8th scale touring together. Being that their is probably not that many 8th scale touring out their.What do you say.

Jay15- Yes, I defineately would like to have an 1/8th rally (IGT) class.
