Thank you for answering all of our questions. You are a true ambassador of the RC community!!
Does Tinley get a fairly large turnout for Nitro Sedan Stock racing? Do you have a link to the details of racing at Tinley, like costs, times, etc? I hate to keep asking you all the questions, unless you don't mind answering them.
Thanks Again,
Dave
Here is the tracks official website http://chicagolandrc.com/welcome.htm
* Track opens at 9am, registration closes at 10:30 (you can register after 10:30, but will miss the first round of qualifying) racing starts at 11am.
* $10/person, and $5/person for each additional class entered. There is an additional $5 charge to rent a track transponder if you don't have your own AMBrc personal transponder.
There is one 1/10th scale Nitro class and usually there are 20-30 guys running depending on the day.
In the electric class there are usually 10-20 depending on who shows up....a little smaller turnout but still plenty. Besides...electric mod can smoke the nitro guys! LOL
Either way Chicagoland RC Raceway has the biggest turnouts of any other outdoor track in the area. Once you come out you will see it's a blast to race there and just about everyone is friendly. Walt who runs the track is very helpful as well. You can also see the results of every raceday on the results page. This is awesome because you can see how you and everyone did in qualifying and the mains. It also tracks the total points of all the Series/Points day races.
Quote:Sorry bud, TC3 of course.
It's been awhile since I've owned one but I would just go with the manual recommendation of 22/72. If you are running new foams out of the box or rubber tires this will be close.
