Reflex Racing Endurance Series - October 10, 2009 - Mini-ZRacer.com Forums

We had been working on some possible race scenarios for an endurance race. I have always wanted to participate in something similar to what the guys from TRP do in Spain. So lately I have been talking with hrdrv about an event to organize over in the east coast in Myrtle Beach. From this came the idea to bring a quality event to the area, with a slightly different format.

Enter the Reflex Racing endurance series. The first event will be hosted at 843 hobbies in Myrtle Beach sometime in July (either the Saturday the 11th or 18th depending on Landon and 843 hobbies).

To summarize:
The 8 Hours at Myrtle Beach will be an 8 hour long endurance 1/28 scale race. The race will consist of 2 different categories running simultaneously on the track. The race will feature a night stage where teams must come into the pits and install a light kit on their vehicle. It will also feature a rain stage, where the organization will provide the teams with a set of tires with less than optimal grip to simulate wet, loose conditions. The length of these stages will remain secret, and only the race director will get to see the outcome of these though a series of sealed envelopes which will be opened every hour during the duration of the race.

-$150.00 dollars entry fee for teams of 3-4 drivers.
-75% of the entry fees will be payed out to the top 3 teams in each of the 2 categories.

For specific rules and guidelines, here is the document of the full description of the event.

Later on in the year, in September or late August we will also organize a 12 hour Race in Texas. This race will possibly be organized on the same weekend as the PN Regional so that 1 day of racing can be spent on the endurance race and the next day we can run on a Super hooked-up track for the regional qualifying event.

The race can only accomodate up to 15 teams, so space is limited (considering that there already is 3 teams entered, not many spaces are left). I will have the racing team application document up soon on the website. I will update any developments on the race on this thread and our website as more information becomes available.

In the meantime, ask away and you can start getting on the application waiting list by requesting it via email to cristian@reflexracing.net or posting on this thread.

Sounds awesome, maybe I'll come to both events! My father lives in texas and I often visit him in the summer anyhow. A little strategic planning is all that will be needed. I better start saving.

Ive talked to the owner at 843, and we are looking at the 18th of July for this event.

Cristian has been working hard and making some great plans/outlines for this new race program. I expect it to be the most fun and exciting race event Ive been involved in, and Im looking very much forward to competing in this series.

With all of the ideas Cristian has been bouncing off of me, this is for sure going to turn out well! Ive got a few tricks up my sleeve for the layout too. Im hoping to get some what of a "wow" factor, as well as offer something that hasnt been seen in any other 1/28th scale racing series! Stay tuned for more details!!

At the start of the race do we run across the track, in socks, to our transmitters?

Haha! You got one of my "tricks", lol.

Itll be good to see the NC group again!

CristianTabush · 2009.03.17, 04:23 PM

But of Course Pedro! But I think it will be outside. All the starting drivers will have to race from outside to inside, pick up their transmitter and go :P And I am serious!

Rule clarification:
For the night stage, as each Team will be required to have their own headlight and tail light kit installed on their car, these must be approved prior to the start of the event. If not approved, the car will not be allowed to continue during the night stage until a suitable application is installed. This is a chance for all of you engineers to innovate, so be creative, but be reasonable

eztuner12 · 2009.04.02, 02:03 PM

Wow! It sound it will be a fine event, oh yeah.
Too bad is not nearer to FL.

Good luck to the participants and great success for Reflex!

Cheers

Let me talk it over with the SCRC peopls and see what we can come up with.

Can you list what bodies each team has claimed? And can two teams use the same body with different paint schemes?

Also, would anyone be interested in splitting hotel room costs? We stayed at the Ocean Reef Resort for the Spring Fling. They have a 4 bedroom ocean front condo with kitchen that can sleep 12

CristianTabush · 2009.04.04, 07:20 PM

So far, nobody has claimed any AutoScale, and yes, two teams can use the same body so long that it has a different scheme. In the case of the Motul and Xanavi schemes, which are almost the same, they are both allowed, although there will only be 1 Team Xanavi, 1 Team Motul and 1 Team Calsonic (whatever body it is, matters not), unless the 2 bodies have a different number listed on the scheme.
