[Mr Flibble]

Welcome to the Camrc kamikaze Raceway Thread for the up Coming 2008 Season

First will have a short Overview of things we accomplished in 2007

We didn’t do any big upgrades or changes in 2007

1) Paid Down the Clubs debts from 2006 we Paid off 1,470.55 of our 2747.55 debt
2) Got 4 Loads of Dirt
3) Fixed Drivers Stand Railing
4) Put a Removable Tarp Roof on the drivers stand
5) We Tried Roofing rolls on the jumps so we would not have to do so much maintenance On them, it work so well that we will be doing this again this year
6) Bigger and better turnouts all year long
7) The Club Made Money or broke even for all events last year

We had a really good year in 2007 and looking to have even a better one in 2008

Hello. My son is hoping to race this year at the kamikaze track. I have heard there will be a electric class, is that true? He has a associated Rc10T4. He is new and never raced before. I have also heard the motors that will be allowed are either a brushless 10.5 or brushed 19T... Is any of what I have heard true? You also mentioned in your above message the track is open saturday is it closed sunday? If there isn't a electric class can he still pay the $ to join and practice when you are not racing? Where and when do we pay the money to join? Sorry for all the questions. Thank you. Fat daddy

Yes, we will be having an electric Class this year it will be 19turn open class
So you can run any motor to start with if you start over powering everyone or supper fast laps you must change to a 19 turn or a 10.5 brushless
If we have enough Novices, we will run them in a Novice class

The Saturday was a mistake were closed Saturdays and open Sundays 11:00 to dusk

Memberships will be available at the Track When we start the race season

Thanks for the Questions

[Mr Flibble]

Cancelled sorry everyone went out to the track to look
In addition, it as about a foot of snow on it I did not think there would be that
Much snow I was out the three weeks ago and there was nothing
We will have an open track day some time this year so people can come and try out the track for a day with no charge hopefully the snow will melt fast so we can get on to the track
