So Cal Race for Brushless 1/8th scale conversions

[marzac2]

Ok guys, it's time to show off your rides. Let's rally to the next J.B.R.L. race in Ontario, Ca. to show them all what we've got.

I have made arrangements with race director Jimmy Babcock for an epic event. This round will be at Revalation Raceway and this is normally an 1/8th scale track. It will defiantly be ready to accommodate our fast rides. We will be running in a DEMO class so as normal rules will not apply to us. We will be running 5 minute qualifiers and 10 or 15 minute mains (to be determined by the schedule). Two qualifiers will give us a chance to give the spectators quite a show.

Please come and show your support to our emerging race class if you can!

Thanks,
Zac

Sounds awesome! And that's actually on a day where I could make it... I've driven electric 1/8 on that track a number of times, with great success . Just gotta work on my ability to set up suspension (or ask for help!).

Who else is in?

[jnev]

So where would a Revo or CRT.5 fit in? Could I run the CRT.5 with the truggies? Would "Modified truck" be considered for MT's?

[marzac2]

MetalMan; There will be 4 of us from SD and about 4-5 guys from the Thunder Alley track with brushless conversions.

Jnev;I'm not able to tell you about the other classes other than the Demo race I am arranging. It will be filled with 1/8th scale brushless conversions buggys/truggys.

However Jimmy Babcock is a very open minded guy and I'm sure he can accomidate you some how. Maybe you could run with us in our demo class, but it could be tough to keep up. Some of the guys from Thunder Alley are pretty fast.

Yah, I know what you mean. Especially, since the only rc I have driven on the track was my 1/8 scale buggy that I sold a while back... so I don't know how competitive I could really get. Oh well, maybe next time once I finally pick up a truggy or buggy... Please don't forget to get some pictures of all the BL rc's out there. Have fun!!

Well I've never driven on a track yet, but if i can bring my GR3 E-Revo I'm in..

Thanks..

Shaun.

Shoot... I won't be here June 1st... Sounds like a lot of fun. Tear'em up guys.

[marzac2]

I think everyone should just show up. Doesn't matter if your a competitive driver or not. It will be more a chance to show off the power of these 1/8th scale monsters than anything else.

Well, I guess you can count me in. Care to carpool MetalMan?

Edit: Though now I think of it I'm not sure if I have enough batteries to run the G2R...I only have 1 set...If only I had the Monster Max and the 3S FlightPower pair I ordered...then I'd have 2 sets of 5S...stupid backorders...

That is the day we were planning to go to Rev anyways . Good to know now that it wasn't going to be open practice as per their regular schedule! Carpooling is totally fine with me. No point in taking two separate cars when one will suffice!

[MetalMan]

Who is getting excited for this race? I know I am! My buggy is about 98% done, at this point I just have minor securing of wires and what-not, and suspension tuning.

there is no need to car pool with gas as cheap as it is.......:-0

[marzac2]

Gas is soo cheap, I'm watering my lawn with it now.

And I switched to liquid gold in my cars tank... Cheaper!

[MetalMan]

At least we'll be driving early on Sunday morning when nobody else is awake .

My stuff has just been finished being packed up, and I am gonna go to sleep now. Not looking forward to waking up at 5:30am, but I hope to see you all there tomorrow!

So how was the race?? Pics? Video? Something?
