Its gonna be a fun race!

[PierreV]

Max and myself coming down - will speak to Kosta. Probably two entries each (mod & open onroad). I may consider rally. Gotta love road trips!

BTW we had a local race this weekend. Max took the honors in open and I took the honors in mod. I whooped Max's car in mod (however it wasn't Max who was driving the car - he had a factory driver running his equipment...)

[PottBellysRC]

Max is hiring drivers now.... I can remember the first ECC when Max was this nice Quiet guy now he's hiring drivers.. breaking sound barriers on the speed charts... What Gives.... LOL.....

Tell J-P and the guys they need to see Boston... :-))

[R.Dalnogare]

Now all we need is Ray and Clark to fly up there for the return of beef and beer on friday night.

[PottBellysRC]

I'm working on that. I talked to Clark about running a BBQ up there he's looking into it, and I have to call DJ Ray we might be able to finagle him.

[maximebeauvais]

Like Pierre said.....I will be there and we will try to get more people from Ottawa and people from Montreal will go for sure

Yeah, Canada team will need a mini bus for sure !!!!


BTW: yeah I was able to kick some ass at our race this weekend...TQ and first place, best lap of the day...do you want more in open. My factory driver got TQ in mod but he got bump and finished 3rd...Pierre got the first place in mod.......this time, Pierre was relax and did not had any problem with his car and he manage to get a very good run in the A-main

Hey Guys some concerns and questions were raised on other threads and we've had to make some changes to the classes.

1. Tires.

We are well aware of the limited tire selection on the buggies. So here's the rules concerning custom or cut tires. You MUST use a 1/18th tire. So for instance you can narrow a 18t rear tire but not shrink a 1/10th 4wd buggy holeshot. The tire must be made to fit the rim it is being mounted to.

2. 2wd Trucks.

I was as surprised as all of you when the associates agreed to the class list minus the 2wd class. After consultation we've decided to make buggy a Open Class and add a open 2wd class. I'll have the new list and changes up today.

3. Sportsman Classes

Over the last 2 years the sportsman class has been fun but it's slao been a cherry picking fest. With no real garantee to keep the cherry Pickers out I feel it's better to move all together. This way we'll have more drivers across the mains evenly matched so maybe you won't make the A but have a better chance at winning soming being in the B or C. Plus we all know to get better you need to run with the faster cars.

4. Yes the Belly Closed back in Feb. But I've been looking to keep the Race alive. I'm also still persuing a new place to reopen the Belly. For now We're just Team Belly Racing Promoting our annual ECC. Who Knows maybe Next year if we still do not have a place we can do the race someplace down south. If anyone knows of places on the east coast that have Both a Indoor Dirt and Carpet Track let me know.

[PottBellysRC]

I updated the original class list and rules posted at the begining of this thread.

[CristianTabush]

Pls contact rob@atomicmods.com with sponsorship info. I'm pretty sure we'd like to participate, in the event.

[PottBellysRC]

Thanks for the heads up Cristian we're working the sponsor info out this week I'll be sure to contact Rob and make sure they know what's going on. Thanks Again.

do we have to use the vehicles own stock (size) wheel.. and since we can make the tires narrower,, can we make them bigger to fit a bigger wheel.. since the vendetta wheels are bigger than the rc18t/mini-t wheels,,

for example the mini-t proline bowties.. for the vendetta buggy will have to have a larger diameter.. and for the vendetta st,, it would have to be a larger diameter and also wider.. ,,,,, seems like every vendetta owner has his work cut out for him in order to race..
