I'm expecting Novice is intended to be a TC chassis?

Yes although novices can run in the 12th Scale class as well.  They will be pre-sorted into an appropriate heat.

Fun Club Day!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for our club race yesterday.  We had a smaller turnout which meant for a more laid back race schedule which was nice.  We enjoyed some extra practice and then some good racing across the board.

Setup and teardown were both very dialed, especially given the lower body count.  Thanks everyone for working together efficiently.

Big shoutout to Chris B for some strong performances in TC Stock and USGT.  Lately he has been recording his heats with his phone and reviewing the video to find troublesome areas, and it's definitely paying off!  Chris took a clear win in the USGT main and also finished 3rd in the TC Stock B-Main.  Great work Chris!

Corey H also had a nice day, running strong in USGT all afternoon, and also making the bump to the A-Main in TC Stock.

Adam B ran really well all day, slowly sneaking up on the TC Stock podium level.  He also held an impromptu setup and driving strategy session for interested club members over lunch which was a great idea!

The Nitro TC main was exciting with both Craig R and Dalyn S fighting nose to tail most of the race.  Both attempted to make the seven minutes on a single tank of fuel, but the battling seemed to draw a little too much from the tank and they both coasted to rest a few seconds early.

Finally, in Formula 1, Jay J took the win in a thrilling finish at the line just narrowly ahead of Adam.


Next Race is Sunday, Sept 10th
We are NOT racing next Sunday Sept 3rd.  Our next race is Sunday Sept 10th.

Hi all,

We have plenty of racers to race.  The race day will proceed as scheduled.  Expect a laid back day with possibly some extra practice time.

Thanks,
Blake

Hey all, I've had several people tell me they cannot make racing this Sunday August 13th, including myself.

Please comment here if you plan to be there so we know it's worthwhile to setup.


Thanks,
Blake
