Yes us corn folk cant drive for crap,

Wow dirt oval, I havent done that in years.

kenji, If I get time ill take ya up on the offer, been a long time since i raced on a rug, not since LH has the track over in Lockport. I started racing on carpet, and have seen alot of onroad racers try offroad and just cant hang. Its differnt lines and driving styles, I have been to my share of onroad races, AJS, RC mania, hobbytown indy when they had a track, trackside, some parking lot stuff(YUK!!!!!!!!) carpet oval, carpet offroad, Arnold remembers that when I coulnt get the damn losi car to turn on carpet!!! Over 10 yrs of racing and with a screwed up eye I still can put down some laps, just cant race as much anymore due to family and work .

I just prefer dirt, go all out on stuff, touring cars are expensive now, and were back in the day, tire/liner of the week, fresh motor if u ran stock, if u ran mod u pretty much got spanked but the factory drivers, battery wars, all that turned me away from carpet. Offroad, build a car, get a decent setup and tires, pretty much dont dont hit shit or do donkey flips and you do well .

Sportwerk's Recoil, 170 bucks and you are competitive for smaller scale.

At Undergound the track is about 120 feet so mod doesn't help. The best racers in 10th scale are winning using Tamiya silver can motors.

One of our regulars just ran electric at Leisure last week. The first time he's ever run off road. He's only been racing for about a year and it's been all parking lot and carpet for him with sedans. We gave him the advice to do the oppposite of what he does with on road...."Go slow". He came in 10th in the A main out of 20 racers. Now he's hooked.

I doubt if 5 electric guys showed on a Sunday at LH, that they'd create a class. Isn't there already a ton of classes that make the day go long already?

They will Smile

They usually don't because (so I've heard) in the past, when they ran together, electric guys would get mad b/c the track would be "oily" from the nitros.
