[JASONHastings]

Chris do have any hotel info?

[Breckenridge]

Chris do have any hotel info?

The closest hotels are in New Cumberland off of Limekiln road. There is a cluster of 5 or 6 because it's right next to a Turnpike interchange. I know some people stayed at the Holiday Inn West in Mechanicsburg last year too.

I had asked Chris about the mamba system and he said he didnt see a problem with it, now that was for the sprint nats, but I dont think it will be a problem.

[spdrcer1]

i was just reading the rules..i have ten 6 cell batteries all of them 4600...does this mean i got to go buy new 4200s in order to race?

[johnellinger]

most of thm r kick ass 4600's ......huh :checkeredflag:

[spdrcer1]

yeah they are

[bumps and jumps rc]

I will get stuff up next week with any luck
We have a large offroad race I have been getting ready for this weekend
Yes mamba's are legal - in mod
I am not sure what you mean about the 4600's?
I think that is for the 1/10 sliders - which we are not running at the freeze
We will be running them as an exhibition class at the mini oval nationals which is 2 weeks after the freeze.

[spdrcer1]

your rules on your website say no batteries bigger than 4200..i have ten packs each one 4600..do i have to buy new batteries?

Those rules are for the slider class these are the rules regarding the rest of the classes.


Electric Class Rules:All cars must run 6 cell batteries or 2-cell lipo pack. Any labeled 13.5 motor may be used along with any 2-cell lipo

[spdrcer1]

sweet! thanks fellas..see ya all soon!

[siggy99x]

I think the rules for the freeze are exactly like the open wheel rules this year. Not the rules on the bumps site.

[Anson Malfaire]

That was my understanding as well, especially given the new DODC rules.

[CoreyNorton]

I think the rules for the freeze are exactly like the open wheel rules this year. Not the rules on the bumps site.I hope not. i dont have a DODC battery/motor.

[curtisp]

I'm guessing that the Stock classes will be replaced with the 13.5 Spec classes. That's just a guess. I would expect to see rules very similar (probably exactly the same) as those for the Open Wheel.

[siggy99x]

I hope not. i dont have a DODC battery/motor.

You will need them if you want to run any 13.5 class

[tinman79]

why no 1/10 sliders. what about mini sliders and and mini latemodels?

[siggy99x]

There will be a mini nationals at a later date. check the calender on the Bumps site

[olderacer]

DODC rules will be used for feb freeze says in the DODC rules discussion thread.
i read that starting with the freeze race, the DODC rules will be in place at B-&-J every week thereafter.

[tinman79]

There will be a mini nationals at a later date. check the calender on the Bumps site


I realize this, but we still ran minis at the freeze last year. why cant we run for east coast championships, and nationals?

[siggy99x]

Not enough time . The dodc rules will be in effect for the freeze then starting next fall they will be the only rules at bumps, I asked Chris this question and that is what i was told probably because he does not want to change the rules in the middle of a points season would be my guess.

[JASONHastings]

I will be back after Christmas and New Years to get ready for the freeze.

[irocz69]

Don't everyone jump the gun here. Yes, Chris will be going by the National Rules for the Freeze, but has also talked about running an Open 13.5 class. Lets allow some time for him to post everything. Im sure there are alot of things to consider & these things take time. GO FAST TURN LEFT ! Keith Steinle

[BustedGFX]

an open 13.5 class would be real cool, whether it be late model or edm:thumbsup:

[siggy99x]

Open 13.5 edm would be cool!!!!

[signman501]

Open 13.5 works for me. I'm ready for 13.5 LM now.

[CoreyNorton]

yes!! open 13.5 sounds awesome!!! hopefully i can go

[dlm7s]

Will the 4wd late model class be running at the 2009 feb freeze? Also can someone help me with a setup for a 2wd limted late model. Please pm the info to me. I am running a BMS car.I am a little new to dirt oval r/c racing. Thank for any info i get. :greenflag: :checkeredflag:

a lot of people run BSR silver foams and run 22/60 gearing. There will Most likely not be a 4wd late model class, just 2wd nitro and limited late model classes. Hope this helps.

[jrcspeedway]

If you un hook the front wheel drive i am sure they will let you run it but ask Chris to be sure

[jrcspeedway]

dlm7 you have a pm

Thank for any info i get. :greenflag: :checkeredflag:Last time I was there I ran rc4less silvers the track was damp with lots of bite but the way I see it by the time practice and qualifiers are ran you might want to have pinks with you also if the track starts grooving up.

[RacerX11]

Anyone hear anything about the freeze lately?

[irocz69]

Anyone hear anything about the freeze lately?
No news yet, but I talked to Chris last Saturday & I believe you'll see something posted soon. I believe part of the problem is the current situation w/the 13.5 DODC motors. GO FAST TURN LEFT ! Keith S.

[jeff@vinyltrix]

There has been a rumor heard about a 13.5 open class is this gonna happen or is it just a rumor????

[spdrcer1]

jeff i sent those bodies..i will call you tommorow]

That would be great 2 classes that are the same. I believe Chris is waiting on the motor solution.

[irocz69]

That would be great 2 classes that are the same. I believe Chris is waiting on the motor solution.
The open class was talked about a couple months ago. The exact disscussion was about running a small block (dodc rules) & a big block (open 13.5 ) class. Now w/the current problems w/the dodc 13.5 motors im sure Chris is waiting to see what transpires there. I'll be @ Bumps on Saturday for a couple hours @ will try & see where he stands on this matter. The Freeze is only 7 weeks away & its gonna be here quicker than people realize. GO FAST TURN LEFT ! Keith S.

[RacerX11]

Ok. I'm going to race the nitro latemodel class and I just wanted to know any info about sign ups. hope to see this situation solved for everyones sake.

[jrcspeedway]

any 13.5 Late models in the freeze this year?

[siggy99x]

any 13.5 Late models in the freeze this year?


Yes 13.5 latemodels is a class that is for sure

[jrcspeedway]

Thanks siggy

[Team HHS]

Has anybody been running 13.5s there? If so what have you guys been rolling out the 13.5 at?

[KUSTOM-1]

George,It`s probably the same rollout you were trying to run at Crazy Boyz:D

[Team HHS]

sweet. At least I was geared right for somewhere!!:D

[signman501]

Should be a ruling on 13.5 motors for the Freeze this week. Chris said Saturday that he had to make a decision and he said that would happen this week.

[irocz69]

Has anybody been running 13.5s there? If so what have you guys been rolling out the 13.5 at?
Rollout has been in the 1.93-2.12 range. I'm sure that will get you in the ballpark. GO FAST TURN LEFT ! Keith Steinle

[BustedGFX]

any decision on what the motors will be for the freeze yet?
