Looks like Blake just missed the A Main, I think he is 12th or 13th.

John Bowker's race is up now in 17.5

At IROCCers everywhere. If you thought snoring was bad on road trips, wait till you have a stuck horn in the parking lot. Not mine of course.

Good luck tomorrow guys.

Did they not tech ur battery already. Why the dq how many. Volts did they say u had. For spending over 500 bucks to race I would be chokedfor not letting u race.

they tech battery voltage before every race.. For 1cell voltage is 4.20 but they allow up to 4.203 if your over that you don't race.. They also check height weight and wing before every race.. And if your to light or don't have the spec tires on when they tech the cars after your race your race didn't happen..

And they are strict on the voltage thing.. Slot of people were dq'd for voltage in the first round.. It's a good thing I lift the volt meter in my tool box it's being shared between about. 8 guys.. Lol

Basicallly I charge my battery the check the voltage , if over 4.2 then I discharge it till it says 4.19.. They put tech stickers on everything , motors bodies batteries tires..

been there, happened to me on the ferry. I was like who is the idiot with the horn, after 30 more seconds I figured out it was me! LOL. That was in the gold rabbit.

I know you guys are hating tech, but it sounds like after they squared away motors at the begining the rest was standard stuff. Other than the battery...but with the LiPo being able to be overcharged to increase voltage I am all for this pre-race test. At a race like speed weekend we can get away with just making an announcement at the drivers meeting saying it is a "gentlemans rule" but at a bigger race like this I would rather have it teched than not. Remember the days of NiMH when people would pay top dollar or fight over the best numbers on thepack, now you can acheive that with any pack with your charger in your pit.

WhoDoYouThink · March 27, 2011, 01:46:31 PM

Looks like Blake just finished 5th in the B main 13.5 12th scale. I just caught the VERY end of the results before they moved on to the next race.

John Bowker is now up in 17.5 non timing 12th C Main.

WhoDoYouThink · March 27, 2011, 01:58:50 PM

John finished 4th in the C main 17.5 non timing 12th scale.

Maybe he got the stickers at the Vancouver 360 Race

DekelzMan · March 27, 2011, 07:33:57 PM

No, he got them at this race

The ones he got at 360 were for 1/8 scale.
