| LET'S GO RACING We will light any racer up with a smokin' deal to get started! Racing is a ton of fun, we have a great group of people involved in local r/c racing. If you are at all interested in racing - please just ask us. |
| RACE CLASSES 1/8th Scale Buggy This class will be one of the most if not the most competitive classes this year. These buggies are a ton of fun as they offer gobs of power and all the traction needed to put it down. They are extremely durable and are capable of being raced side by side, providing some intense dirt battles. We separate drivers in this class by experience and by lap times to ensure that everyone can have a blast racing r/c! (.21 engines and larger RTR engines are allowed) Truggy These are full on race ready trucks, offering all the benefits of the 1/8th Scale Buggies with a touch of Monster Truck charm. Mod Truck This will likely be the most well attended electric class this year. The only requirement is a 6 cell battery pack, or a 2 cell Lipo pack. Brushed or Brushless motors are allowed in this class. Drop in as much as you can handle. Sportsman This is the ultimate beginners class. It allows new racers to run against other new racers. ALL vehicles are allowed, and are run together in this class. The most important aspect of entering sportsman is to learn the basics of driving an r/c around the track. This is an important class, we really need to get it going. If you've never tried racing, please come out and give it a shot. You will not find a more accommodating and helpful group of dudes to race with. 1/10th Scale Gas Truck This class is for 2WD nitro trucks, .12 - .18 engines are allowed. Test your throttle control and tuning ability in this class. Monster Truck This class is for big production monster trucks, big tires, huge drivetrains and big bodies are the norm in this class. Very entertaining! Mod 4WD Buggy This class is for 4WD electric powered 1/10th scale buggies. The only requirement is a 6 cell battery pack, or a 2 cell Lipo pack. Brushed or Brushless motors are allowed in this class. These might be the fastest vehicles on the track. Outlaw This is where you can run hybrids such as electric powered brushless 1/8 Scale Buggies and other imaginative vehicles. These cars can also be run in Sportsman. Baja 5B This class is for HUGE 1/5 Scale off road racers. IMPORTANT NOTE: We will run anything with at least 2 entries, if you've got something to race - bring it - we will find a home for you. Other classes are out there and will be run on any given race day, i.e. 2WD Mod Buggy, Stock Electric, Etc. Just about anyone can fit into the sportsman and/or outlaw class. There are no restrictions in these classes, you can run anything! Race day entry fees will remain at a low $10 for track members this summer |
