Wilmington track - First race May 29

whose racing this friday night???

Hey All, I'm new to this RC thing wanting to go out and check out Wilmington track tonight. I haven't been on a track yet, I heard open practice is tonight at 6:30pm is this correct and are there any fees to practice. Like I said, would be great to have all information before I show up tonight. Also, is that the only practice time on this track through the week, asking because of my work schedule.

yes Wednesday is the only practice day 6 to 11 I believe, 10 bucks, and Friday before the race you'll have plenty of time to practice as well. People start rolling in around 5 or 6 but I'm always there early watering and prepping the track. Matt (the owner) is usually there as well. Hope to see you Friday at the race? So from the looks of your profile pic, you'll be racing 1/8th buggy? sweet! There should be quite a few of us.

Thanks Dylan, So I guess I will see u tonight

Unfortunately I cant make it out there tonight. I will Friday.

saweeeeeeeeet

saweeeet what? lol

Nice track out at Matt's place. Enjoyed myself a lot, just need upgrade some parts. I kept stripping my plastic steering horn ans my bottom rear shock ends kept stripping out. Otherwise, I had a blast for my first time on a track and once I get new upgraded parts it'll be even more fun. Thanks All!

get the losi steering servo horn and new shock ends once they pull/strip out they are junk

Thanks Lonnie got all that today. getting ready to put them on now. I'll be ready next time.

if you need any losi set up help just ask i have a hour or two under my belt with Losi's

Since I'm new at all this, I have a problem with setting up the steering servo. Sub trim, Expo and travel the proper way in doing it all. Any tips?

Hey I can help you tonight at the track with all that. I wish I would have read this earlier I have a Losi servo horn that I dont need lol. But I can help you tonight with all that at the track

really good turnout! Had a blast. Did horrible with my buggy. engine problems (stupid practice engine) and drove my STOCK slash, Ralph, like I never have before.

sounds good

??????? How much are racing fees out at Matt's? Planning on going out on Wednesday to race. Got my new shock ends and servo arm looks all good. HOPEFULLY?

15 bucks for the first class. not sure how much for the second class.

$15 bucks to race, any practice fees? Only have one car to race is that the meaning of other classes if multiple cars going race?

yes if your only racing one car its only going to cost you 15 bucks. on raceday you don't pay to practice. but on practice days its 10 bucks..

yep

So what I have seen on videos of RC car races, is that there are pit stops. Will I need to find a crew for Matt's race tonight or what? I'm hoping that my car is ready this time, since this will be the second time I've been on a track.

someone at the track will pit for you don't worry about that.

Yep pitting is never a issue just show up someone will help you people sometimes pit 2 or 3 people at once it is no big deal

Thanks guys. Who is going to be there tonight to race?

I can't make it there tonight. I know there is another 1/8 scale going though. Matt said Eli might be there to race his.
