1st annual slot car grand prix

RACE POSTPONED - UPDATE HERE 

Track: Landondega Raceway - 50ft per lane, two bridges, 1 grand chicane and plenty of twists and turns.

Date: Saturday March 8th, 2008 - practice starts at 1pm, qualifier will begin at 2pm .  Time is not set in stone and can possibly be adjusted to fit schedules.

Location: My basement

Entry fee: $10 - payout to top 2 (80%/20%).  May adjust this to pay top 3, depending on interest.

Format: 20 lap qualifier, seeds determined by lap times.  Once seeds are set, preliminary races will consist of 50 laps (8-10 minutes) and the main event will run a grueling 100 lap endurance race (15-20 minutes of throttle time).  When you’re not racing you may be called upon to hold down one of the 4 marshal spots to help keep the dislodged cars on the track and running.

Scale and Cars: We will be racing 1:32 scale slot cars on an SCX brand track.  I have 4 different cars that will be available for use.  Feel free to bring your own car if you have one or if you want to buy one you can find them on ebay or at your local hobbytown store for $20-$50 a pop.

Feel free to forward this along to anyone you may think would be interested, the more the merrier. We’ll do some beer, bombs and brats.

Thanks,
