HFAY type event on larger tracks??
Want to start a discussion about doing a one time event based on a modified HFAYcompetition event. Maybe some slightly different classes offered for a change and then the main focus, being able to run it on a larger track than the norm. Who would be intrested and how much track do you have. Post replies here and lets see how it developes.

Very interested... This is kinda going towards the "live HFAY regional" idea.
It would be interesting to see if Arch could duplicate a setup during his Anime/MiniZ event... I'm sure we here at DOW would be willing to duplicate as well.
We have 4 Wide Ls and 1 Wide Oval.

Your not the only one that would like to see larger track layouts used...
There is a mini 96 hfay, so why not a SUPER TRACK HFAY?
There are a few groups that do have enough track that are already in hfay, although some groups do not have enough track, and like us, do not have enough room to lay it out... so instead of 11 races... we could just do 2 or 3... per year. Make them a 4 month event each race... so they have 4 months to find a place race it etc... this way the groups could participate in both... dont really NEED prizes... just the fun of hfay... and maybe SUPER HFAY could be open/modified?! or a little more open than stock hfay?
We could at least use 3 or 4 L's and the expansion pack, maybe one or two of the larger inside radius... and possibly the new outer radius .
I know the toronto group wants too Right Sinister?
I am sure RCP is for it, since everyone will have to buy more track

this discussion was started in email between Madf1man and myself.
I think this would be a more annual or bi-annual thing that we could setup and run.
I also agree that we need to modify the classes and possibly add some additional ones. Especially F1.
I would like to purpose a Speedy 05 for both classes as alot of people have run in the regionals already and have received motors.
Possibly want to add a mod class as well.
I have 5 wide L's plus and expansion pack. 6 wide inside corners and 2 45* kits
Please post what you have available for tracks, and we will design something that everyone can set up.
also is you know you space limitations please post that also.

I would request beign allowed to use a box-stock readyset motor even if the speed 05's are allowed... seeing as one already fried one of my cars fets, along with some other peoples fets... its a fast motor, but I dont trust it with stock fets.

the speedy motor is not under consideration (for current hfay class). regrdless of any additional motors being added to the acceptable list, the box stock for whatever chassis will always be allowed as an option.

Maybe my first post was misleading in some way. The discussion I wanted to start was for finding out if any of the clubs wanted to do a one time event, SIMILAR to HFAY. In other words we all run the same big track and compare times. I had no intentions to step on anyones toes. Just thought it might be fun. Maybe 3 clubs want to throw down a big track next weekend and see who does best?

MC3 is on-board in regard to a super HFAY or 1-time event.
We've got access to:
4 Kyosho america tracks (45 degrees)
1 wide L (and 2 additional side bump pieces)
7 large inside radius turn kits
30 additional blank tiles
Thanks

I think that'll be great if HFAY does include the large tracks. Its the only reason we're not in it. All of our racers love the idea. But everyone loves the bigger tracks also. So back on topic, intrested clubs who want to do a one time event where we all run the same big track post em up here. How much track you got? Further details can be discussed later so lets just keep this with does the club want to and how much track for now. I,d like to suggest 5 wide L kits, inside radius kit and an expansion kit as a minimum and the more the better.

5 wide L's and 1 expansion is a good place to start. this is what it consists of
144 Striaghts
10 Bumpouts
10 Straight Starts
30 Outside Corners
30 Inside Corners
36 Blanks
4 Wide Inside Corner 4 ( I beleive consists of a kit)
if you have this let us know. if you don't let us know what you are short....
thanks
