4hr Endurance at Railyard Hobbies, May 3rd 2014...

Many are thinking a 4 Hour Endurance Race would be an excellent way to get things going as far as events go this year. I am completely fine with this, but would like to include one or two other regular type classes for heats and mains to be run before or after the event. (Mod, F1 or BoxStock) Or we could just do some pick-up races, grudge matches, etc... I am planning to set the track the Friday before so we could always get some races going then, and then just do the Endurance on Saturday.

I am open to all suggestions but basically what Remnant held for us last year was so good that I would like a repeat of it (except with a much larger track )

The Endurance Race would be as follows:
*All rules are preliminary*

Location:
Railyard Hobbies
100 Heritage Drive
Elverson, PA 19520
https://www.railyardhobbies.com/



Scheme:
2-4 drivers per team, one car per team.
4 hour race, no set pit schedule.
The chassis you start with is the chassis you must finish with.
Replacement of any broken parts is allowed during the race but must conform to the VTRs.



Vehicle Tech Regulations:
Kyosho chassis (MR01, MR015, MR02, MR03, MA010, MA015, MA020,)
Iwaver chassis (01, 02M, 04M)
Xmod chassis (Gen 1, Gen 2)
Chassis mods and tweaks allowed (minor trimming and weight/stiffeners allowed)
2WD or AWD
Kyosho AutoScale 599 Ferrari body only (typical race trimming allowed)
Lightweight aftermarket windows allowed
98mm wheelbase only
Wheel offsets no greater than +3
PN 70turn handout motors only, no motor mods or we break your fingers!
Break-in period allowed, comm drops and oiling allowed
Rubber tires only
(4) NiMH AAA cells only



Endurance Team List:

Team RMZR (Larry, Al, Quinn)

Team ByeBye (?)

Team Dwight (?)






If you want to sign up, PM me your team name and the names of each driver on that team.

I have no idea about entry fees or handout motors or trophies as of yet, I will have most or all of this pinned down by the end of this month.

sounds like fun! i was hoping for June to fit between HFAY seasons. also had other intentions for an alternate autoscale choice but the 599 is a great car and chances are, plenty of people have one. i more than likely cannot make any date in May, i already have my 2 weekends for racing booked. 2 keeps the wife happy, 3, not so much.

Don't worry Kay. We will make sure that everyone that wants to race will be on a team.

I most likely will be devoted more to running the event, but I will volunteer my driving skills if I have to.

Any ideas for other classes to run before or after the event? I'm very open to running our Mod class for a few heats and mains just to see what's what with all of these brushless cars and new chassis' coming out.

Once you start the clock there is nothing else to do but race. You need to be on someone's team Ed.

For another class, 50 turns sounds good. Sounds like you plan on having a good size track. That would be fun.

you have race announcing, marshalling, and countless other things that distract you from devoting full attention to the track just comes with the territory of managing races. i've tried doing both in previous endurance events and it's not always simple, there is always something that comes up. the last one we organized with NCRC i stayed support staff team member on a team. at mimi's the NC guys ran the show so i got to drive on a team.

The Mimi's deal was fun. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Heard from Brandon lately?

So...

Not many signing up for this event. I was hoping to get at least 8 teams for this event but it looks like it's not gonna happen.

Updates:

We will be using Giro-Z, we do have transponders but it wouldn't hurt to bring your own if you have some.

PN 70turn handout motors are on their way from Phil, I've also heard rumours of door prizes.

I will be contributing some raffle prizes as well.

Entry fees still not determined but I would at least like to cover our cost for the motors, still have to figure that out with Larry.

Teams may want to bring extension cords maybe a folding chair or two. We should have enough tables.


Please PM me with your team name and the driver's names if you plan to attend, I really need to see if we're going to have at least a half decent turnout for this.
