IROCC/NRC Speed Weekend 2011 - Carpet Edition - discusion thread

[Blake]

IROCC in Victoria and NRC in Nanaimo are proud to announce our first ever carpet trophy race. After receiving numerous requests from racers, our two clubs have caved to the pressure and have teamed up to host a Carpet Edition Speed Weekend trophy race.

Date: Jan 8-9 2011
Classes: TC 17.5 Rubber, TC 13.5 Rubber, WGT, Mini, 12th Scale, 18R


I want to thank all those that have sent emails requesting this race. I especially want to thank Korgae Scales for *convincing* us to put on this race, and for providing a spec tire solution for TC classes.

IROCC and NRC can promise a professional, well-run event, with a top notch facility and top notch track equipment.

Of course there are MANY additional details still to be released (in the next day or two). For now, book Jan 8-9 2011; you won't be disappointed.

8 weeks and counting....

This may well be the first ever indoor race held by both tracks in a partnership, but many old timer IROCCers will remember our last indoor trophy race.

From the post on RCTech it sounds like our normal setup

Hi John,


Yep, the full details will be posted in the next 24 hours.

I can tell you that the track location is downtown Victoria, in a gymnasium at the Victoria Boys & Girls Club.  This location has been our "home facility" in the winter time for the last six years.

The track is 80' x 36' and is made up of 3x rolls of CRC Ozite carpet.  The carpet is only three years old, and is in VERY good shape.  The track walls/barriers are CRC's "Clik-Trak" square PVC system.

I will post some photos of the facility very soon.

ya i noticed that but it will be tight for the WGT and touring cars.

Good day!

I would think that the lanes will be wider to accomidate the 1/10th cars.

[Gorden]

Maybe we could fit one more roll of carpet in by moving the track closer to the far wall. What do you think? or maybe 7ft lanes?

Hi all,

The track will be the normal setup, but with 8' lanes (I think, gotta talk to Craig first).  Our track is the biggest in Western BC (Vic, Nan, Van) so there is no need to make it any bigger.  The tough part will be to come up with a decent layout with the larger lane widths.  We also have to strategically avoid the tape lines.

It will be *TIGHT* at B&G... no doubt about it.  However, B&G is our only option.  Tonia tracked down some some places in Nanaimo and I tracked down some places in Victoria but they all want almost $2000 for the weekend.  B&G it is.

More details will be released before 5PM tomorrow.
