We would like to welcome national and international racers to participate in this one time big event. Currently over 40 drivers have registered, but there are still open entry slots.

Hello again everyone! Mini-AZ is pleased to announce the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Phoenix on Saturday Nov 6th. This will be a full length Grand Prix race based upon the real FIA competition, and run on a replica of the 1989 Phoenix USGP road circuit.

Just as the real sport, Mini-Z F1 is difficult, challenging, and a high prestige race in which to compete. At Mini-AZ we enjoy our closest competition in this class, and we invite drivers and clubs from everywhere to join us on Nov 6th for this very special race event.

Qualifying will be by Q1/Q2/Q3 elimination. The mandated race distance is 7.89 miles (305km at 1:24 scale), so our race will be 289 laps. In addition to the Driver's Championship there is also the Constructor's Championship for two car teams.

Participation is free, just drop me a line at miniaz@gmail.com to let me know you are coming. We score using the ultra-reliable Giro-Z system. I'm working on sponsors for cash prizes, we'll see.

Phoenix in November enjoys temps in the 70's, so if you enjoy Golf, make a week of it! Catch NASCAR's penultimate race at PIR the following weekend. Do you run 1:10 or 1:8 scale? We also have a couple popular on and off-road tracks for the big guys. And if you're into dirt bikes, well, the whole state is pretty much an MX course.

So come on out to Phoenix and enjoy the sun before your blizzards set in back home ;) (We are envious of those blizzards, its 107 now)

Attached is a picture of the community center room and the USGP layout fitment, its big.

With this Fall's race calendar quickly filling up I wanted to get our date for this year's race out there for all.

Just wanted to start the thread for our annual event.

It will be our fourth year now to raise money for the VA/DC/MD ALS Association. Always a great crowd and always an unbelievalble prize list and too cool to be true trophies.

Same location as last year only this time there will be a little more pit area.

Usual classes as before:
MiniZ STK (Hopefully handout 70T motors)
MiniZ F1
MiniZ OPEN (Mod and AWD combined, nothing is illegal except LiPos)
1/18th
and just maybe
MiniZ Nanos

Save the date - October 23 (Saturday) with practice Friday night before.

Food will likely be provided again for all drivers thanks to Chicken Out Catering.

Becuase of time we will be limiting entries to the first 75 cars so I would strongly recommend pre-registration once I get the entry form posted.

Please make this STICKY and feel free to post any questions for all to see.

More details will follow...Bring your friends.

J.B. R/C has jumped on as a sponsor to the event! Our paint jobs were a big hit at the last race for door prizes! J.B. plans to give us something that outshines even the best we had to offer at the last one! I'll be tough to top Serranos killer flame job on that GTR, but Ive seen some of J.B.'s pics around the forums, and hes got the potential to do it!

MBMZR is proud to present its second endurance race event. We will be using the same variable random inclement weather. The race will be held on one of MBMZRs typical elevated layouts. The layout will be designed to try and keep flow moving, while still being technical enough to give the GT cars a shot at victory.

This will be a 4 hour race! It will not be as enduring as the initial 5 hour time frame, but with a lot of folks running solo, it will be plenty hard on most of the drivers :D

Tentative Schedule:
Friday - Track open all day for practice, until 8pm (or possibly later).
Saturday:
8:00 - Doors open, track open for practice.
9:00 - Registration opens.
10:30 - Registration ends, track closes for divers meeting.
11:00 - Qualifying begins.
11:15 - Group Picture, track closed for pre-race maintenance.
11:30 - Race begins.
4:15 - Trophy ceremony.

This schedule should still be good for the one day trippers (coming in and leaving on sat), and will definitely allow travel time for those headed home after.

Tentative Team List:
Team AMP - GT
Team AMP - LM
Hank Escobal/Art Shull - AtlMiniRC - GT
Chad Millward - MBMZR - GT
Steven Williamson - MBMZR - GT
Landon Thompson - MBMZR - LM
Matt Ward - ReflexRacing - LM


If any one is looking to come down and race, but doesn't have a team, just let me know. Ill try my best to facilitate every one who wants to participate. Now, if you want to come down, but don't have a team mate, come on anyway, and run the 4 hours solo!


For those who missed the last endurance event, check out the thread. My race re-cap is posted on page 9. There are a few pics posted on page 10.

Rules attached below :D

There have been a couple of revisions to the rules linked below. We had a cancellation which dropped us to only four cars. In an attempt to fill the field, I and my team mate (Matt) decided to split up and make two teams to put us back at 5 entries. In the explanation phase of letting every one know, a couple of other teams decided to do the same. We have amended the rules for these changes, as the new format brought on some concerns by other interested in running solo.

So Ill put the changes in list form here. All other rules remain the same. If there is any uncertainty, please feel free to post or PM.

Rule Changes:
- This will be a 4 hour race.
- 1 man teams are now allowed.
- Back up drivers are permitted, but must be dictated at time of registration.
- There is no minimum stint per driver of a team.
- There will be no night stage (this eliminates all rules pertaining to lighting).
- There will be mandatory breaks at the 1:20 and 2:40 marks. These breaks will be to allow the solo drivers to have a chance go to the bathroom without penalty. They are not to allow extra time for working on the cars. NO ONE will be allowed to touch the cars, Txs, or pit equipment during this time frame. The breaks will be short, and allow bathroom time only. Should a break fall in a foul weather stage, it will not effect the duration of the weather stage. (example: If the random weather is 20 minutes, then there will be 20 minutes of actual track time with the foul weather tires, even if there is a break in the middle of it.)


In the conversations with every one about the changes there have been a few questions Ive heard multiple times. Id like to address some of them here publicly.

Notable things that will not change:
- There will still be a random chance at foul weather.
- Teams are allowed to have a 'pit man' (he cannot do anything during the mandatory breaks).


All of this will be covered again in the drivers meeting, so we will have time to talk through any situations that you may have concerns about.

Thanks you, and see you Saturday! Ill post an actual pic of the layout once I put it down on Wednesday.
