Trackside's New Offroad Track

[audiostylz]

I put the time in for those 3 nights off last night. Tuesday night I'm filling out 1 of the flyers if he has them available to solidify me a spot for that weekend.

I have some things to get for the SC10 before then but I have 3 months to get it ready.

So did the track layout change over the weekend or is it the coming weekend?

I found a video of the new layout on the facebook page

Looks more technical than the last one. Great looking track!

[audiostylz]

I watched some of the racing last night on LiveRC to get a better idea of the track layout and some of the lap times. The track is definitely more technical and does require the right line to be fast, if you're off just a touch your lap times are going to show it big time.

Looking forward to getting out there next week to do some big time track practice with both buggy and SCT.

Still havent noticed the signup at RCSIGNUP.COM.......... Grrr. I wanna get signed up.

I got in some practice laps last night. The track is real wet and tacky. I'm liking the new layout big time, Got to have a good line through the esses or you loose alot of time there.

Here they are!!

























Up close shot of the berm.






As I'm sure you can tell from the pics the track is quite tacky and soft....

Get to race on it on Saturday.

Barcodes or now there's Pressure Points too.

Wishbones and Rebars work too, but JC tires when the track is wet and tacky.

Man you guys can really build a track!

Love the SX berm with triple, hows that working out for a SC? Triple possible?

From what I saw from the liverc video from teusday night, the triple doesn't appear to be achievable. Not for stock SC or Buggy anyway. 4x4 or mod might have a better shot but still might not beable to clear that triple.

[littlemel]

4x4 mod can triple but you have to hammer the brakes to make that left hander. Better to double and then single.

I think the way this works on rcsignup.com is once the 1st round of the shortcourse showdown is past the deadline to sign up the site automatically starts the next round of registrations. Just how I think it might work but not entirely sure.

Thanks.

My 4x4 can handle the triple with a stab of the gas, Mod Sc can make it no problem, but a smooth landing is a little trickier.

I'll have to try to get a video up of the track.....

^^^I think I was practicing one night you were(you have the yellow and silver truck?) I pulled over and let you by, no way in hell that I could keep up with you. Very clean driver you are.
