We need your ideas to help promote and grow our racing program. Let's try to get our ideas and suggestions together ahead of time so that we don't cut into anyone's track time.

This month's meeting will be discussing our goals and direction of our club

Final Thoughts Racing Home

Killingtime — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:22:16 CST

Final Thoughts is a club based in Glen Burnie, MD that was established in 2005. This club originated from a group of friends/racers that, every weekend, would hang out in a big circle and enjoy some refreshing beverages after a long, warm day of racing while discussing various topics such as the events of the day and/or life experiences through the course of the week. This has provided many close friendships and memories that have lasted for years.

The main goal of this club is first and foremost, to aide in the growth and advancement in the hobby of Radio Controlled Auto Racing. At the same time, this club supports tracks in the area. Two of the tracks we have helped in supporting over the years are; HobbyTown USA in Glen Burnie, and HobbyWorks of Laurel. Many of our racers support other tracks in MD which include 301 Raceway in Brandywine, HobbyTown USA in Frederick, and Mimi's 'The Track' in Gaithersburg. We hope to see Final Thoughts Racing Club grow and potentially spread throughout Region 2.

Here is a website where the Final Thoughts club members can feel free to express themselves, share photos, videos, etc... So fellow members and guests, feel free to make changes or post on the threads.

Trans-Am Rulez

Killingtime — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:29:52 CDT

Trans-Am Class :
Body Specifications:
Late '60s to early '70s American pony car Vintage Trans-Am bodies only.

HPI part numbers:
17510 - 1970 Plymouth AAR 'Cuda
17519 - 1966 Ford Mustang GT

Pegasus Hobbies part numbers:
PGH4001 - 1970 Camaro SS
PGH4002 - 1970 'Cuda
PGH4003 - 1970 Mustang

Body provided deck lid spoilers allowed (not wings). No additional skirts or raised/extended wings or air control surfaces allowed. Body must be trimmed at body trim lines. Full rear bumper required. It is highly preferred that bodies are detailed in race type livery in period-correct paint schemes. Fluorescent colors, wild graphics, chromes and non-period correct paint schemes are frowned upon. All cars must have a number on the hood, both doors and trunklid. Wheel covers of any type are NOT allowed.

Tire & Wheel Specifications:
The only tires allowed are HPI tire part #4793 front and #4797 rear, using stock tire inserts provided with tire and any HPI Vintage wheels designed to fit these tires. Five or Eight spoke wheels available in various colors. 0mm offset front wheels and 6mm offset rear wheels are intended for 26mm width fronts and 31mm width rear tires. 8-spoke Vintage wheels from #3805 through #3814, 5-spoke Vintage wheels from #3815 through #3822 and Vintage stock car wheels from #3854 through #3860 are all legal wheels.

Chassis Specification:
Four Wheel Drive touring car chassis only. Any era or brand 4wd chassis is allowed. An Excel spreadsheet gear ratio and final drive ratio calculator for most touring car chassis is available here.

Motor Specifications:
Option 1: 27-turn ROAR stock motor: No FDR limit, bearings are not allowed.

Option 2: 17.5 ROAR approved brushless motor: Motor timing advance is allowed. 12.5 mm rotor diameter maximum (no "tuning" rotors are allowed).

Option 3: 21.5 ROAR approved brushless motor with 2C LiPo combined with any ROAR approved hard-cased 2C 7.4v LiPo pack up to and including 5400 mAh capacity. All house track rules regarding LiPo usage apply. Final drive ratio is to not exceed 4.2. Motor timing advance is allowed.

Suggested gearing FDR recommendations:

27t brushed/4-cell: 5.4 - 5.7 FDR
17.5 brushless/4-cell: 3.5 - 3.7 FDR
21.5 brushless/LiPo: 4.2 - 4.3 FDR
Tracks should not dictate which motor combination a racer should choose. All three motor/battery combos have been tested to compete evenly against one another in competition with great success. If any one power choice shows a definitive advantage at a certain track, it is up to the race managment to even the racing out via suggested gearing changes.

Battery Specifications:
4 cell NiCd or NiMh batteries, 5300 mAh limit
2 cell ROAR-approved LiPo hard cased, 5400 mAh limit (21.5 brushless motor option ONLY)

Ride Height Specification:
Minimum ride height is 5mm.

Weight Specification:
Minimum 1450g in race-ready trim

Race Specification:
- 5 minute qualifiers
- 8 minute mains
- Absolutely NO IFMAR-type starts. All heats and mains should be straight-up starts, with random sorts for each heat. Non random sorts should shuffle starting order for each heat.

Optional Main Variations:
- 12-20 car A-mains, depending on car counts.
- Invert qualifying order based on random hat pull (top 6-10 cars).
- "LeMans" type starts where all cars are lined up on an angle to the racing line in order.
- Run track in reverse rotation for mains.
- Rolling starts

MOST IMPORTANTLY: If it's not in the rules, consider it illegal. The class is based on slower, equal playing field competition with less traction, minimal aerodynamic aids and mostly older carpet racing technology. The final objective is close, fair, wheel-to-wheel racing for all. All decisions of the race promoter or track owner are final."
