What is the fee/class?

[sheriffM1]

$35

[mo29ktm380]

is this race predicted to "fill up" as fast as the USOW did?

[DaBearsNo13]

is this race predicted to "fill up" as fast as the USOW did?


And should the guys who are pitting in a trailor wait to sign up, as to leave room for the inside people? Or are we throwing a gazelle into a pack of hienas & watching! :ha:

[mo29ktm380]

best case scenario....i wont get to sign up till like 4 on friday.....with that being said if this goes like the open wheel im screwed...lol

I'm in the same hole as you I wont be able til around 6

[JASONHastings]

I don't think this race will sell out like The Openwheel but you never know.

[staatsbmxkid]

on the link chris posted there is a seperate link for trailers and inside. which wont let it fill up as fast and that allows for 300 racers 150 inside and 150 outside if i heard right. which is more bodys than were at the open wheel :thumbsup:

[rc_truck_racer]

What will be the qualifying format for the Freeze?

Traditional fastest 6 times over all rounds make A, next 6 B, etc...

or

USOWC points system (eliminating rocket round)...

I'm OK with either, I'm just curious which it will be.

Thanks,
Andy

[bumps and jumps rc]

Sorry Didn't post the qualifying format on here - just on rcsignup.

After many discussions with people on what to do, it was determined that leaving the qualifying format like it has always been for this race was the overwealming majority.
So Rocket Round here we come!

I don't expect this race to fill up like the openwheel - my guess is you can sign up anytime over the next few weeks. But I have been wrong before.

[Teamt2c]

thanks chris for keeping us updated. Chris is it a mistake or is there two 13.5 spec late model classes?

[teopro27]

Rocket round :thumbsdown:

[signman501]

I think he just got excited about the class and couldn't stop thinking about it. That's why there are two of them. Small mistake.:D

[WADE ROWLEY]

Rocket round :thumbsdown:


agreed....:redflag:



:checkeredflag:

[TQ Cells]

:thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Will have a good time either way, the system they used at the USOW was much better though.

Steve.

[rj14]

Rocket Rounds are awesome!!!!! It builds excitement into the show!

I mean, cmon....Isn't it awesome to hear the announcer after a run yell, 51 4.01 AND NEW TQ FOR TOOODD PUTNAAAM!!!!!

It is instant gratification! If I wanted suspense and to read a spreadsheet to figure it out, I would race Pinewood Derby cars or play World of Warcraft (nick d would be my character of course) in my parents basement.

[dylan]

rocket round is racing the other way is just to make people feel good about them selves.

[solly]

so is it legal to have an actual rocket on your car during qualifying?

[Crash#15]

man rj was right :thumbsup:

[rj14]

for you.....yes. But you must have a lipo sack

[Teamt2c]

I was thinking he was going to put me in my own class after watching me drive. LOL

[SHANZILLA]

Open wheel format was awful. Traditional format will be better:thumbsup:

[Todd Putnam]

...unless it is Steve Rocket Miller - then it is illegal...lol

Good call:thumbsup:

I'm all signed up and ready too go.

[Todd Putnam]

Chris,

I want to put a trailer inside and pit in it - preferably next to the cookie oven. How do I sign up?

Please advise-

Thanks,
Todd

[staatsbmxkid]

i decided to come back strictly for the cookies. yum lol. got my milk an bib ready

not sure if ill have the money set up on the car but my shoes were dialed on path to the cookie plate

def cant wait to hit the track here again loved it there at the open wheel. just put few more dollars in the luck bank and hoping for the best this time around

[rc_truck_racer]

If I counted right, there are 192 entries as of 9:53pm EST (1st day of signups).

Still lots of guys that I'm sure will be there that are not signed up yet.

Should be another great event.

[teopro27]

staats let me know if you need a nitro pit crew, I can't wait....lol

[staatsbmxkid]

sure y not peek. can always use a hand :redyellow:

[cobra22431]

Beautiful sunny day here in NJ 50 deg. Set up a table outside to do my tires for the freeze! Wish I could bottle this weather and open it up for that 4 days LOL

[Teamt2c]

oddly enough we hit 48 here today. I saw about 7 inches of snow melt today alone I can see ground in some spots. I wish i would have waited another day to shovel the deck!!!!

[bumps and jumps rc]

Please make sure you are signing up on rcsignup in the correct location
There are 2 places to sign up in rcsignup.com
clearly labeled as indoor entry only and trailer entry only.
In other words once we are full and you tell me you signed up early and should have a place inside and I look and see you signed up in trailer only.
I can't exactly kick someone out to let you in, so now is the time to double check rcsignup to make sure you are entered in the correct place.
Also if you have not spoke with me or entered on rcsignup.com and can see your name on the rcsignup list, it is a safe bet to assume you have not entered.
Thanks
Chris

ps. I will get the sheet posted mon or tue - but right now there are only about 20 indoor pit spots left and about 300 entries.

[Jason Bowlin]

Hey Chris, how do we check to make sure we signed up for inside? Im almost positive I did but thought id check to make sure but I see nothing telling that.

thanks JB

[Teamt2c]

you can go to rc sign up under events, look in the event called "indoor pitting" and click on the view entries of the class you entered if your there. your good.

[Zepp70]

Hey Chris, I know that Kevin Scheibe wanted an indoor spot and he signed up for trailer pit only, i told him to email you or post something on here and i did not see anything so i thought i would let you know just incase.

[bumps and jumps rc]

The easiest thing to do is to have him go and sign up again under indoor spots.
Every time someone adds a class to rcsignup I download a new sheet, and to keep making changes for someone entered in the wrong area is easy - to change 10 people every time is more difficult, and easier for me to make a mistake. He doesn't have to pay just have him register in the correct area.
Thanks Chris

[cobra22431]

I checked by clicking on indoor sign up and my name was there in the 2 classes I signed up for. Is todd putnam allowed to sign up for spec?? lol hes on the list of the big past winners for the usowc. Go run mod todd and leave us alone even if that list dont count for this race LOL

[Teamt2c]

Let him Run! Just makes me work harder to catch him. Which is good for me!

[signman501]

You can't be afraid of Todd. He's just as easy to beat as anybody else out there.

[DaBearsNo13]

Your right!! we can loosen his wheels just before a race just like anyone else!!! ;)

[shmeedel]

Your right!! we can loosen his wheels just before a race just like anyone else!!! ;)

That is just wrong!!

[signman501]

Your right!! we can loosen his wheels just before a race just like anyone else!!! ;)

Works for me. I won't tell. :D

[Teamt2c]

i think we should make him run a 3.5 turn 4 cell lipo!

[WADE ROWLEY]

personally, i do not care who races in any class, the more the merrier!:revs::revs::revs:


:checkeredflag:

[bumps and jumps rc]

I personally think that the 13.5 classes are a chance for manufacturers to showcase their products. I think over the years winning the stock class has been something that was viewed as a manufacturers accomplishment, don't get me wrong you still need a driver but I don't think I will get much argument in saying that some of the stock drivers have been the best of the best over the years. While I understand the concept of the openwheel limiting the drivers that can enter the so called slower classes, I don't think that it is my place to limit drivers for the freeze - in fact I feel the opposite, for the freeze has it's bragging rights that manufacturers can play off and promote their product. So I say good luck to all manufacturers and there driver representatives, because I for one feel that it is a distinguished honor to win a 13.5 race at the freeze or any other large race for that matter, no matter who is holding the wheel.

I totally agree w/Chris on this issue. WOW, did I really say that ! LOL ! Also, w/Wade "the more the merrier". For most of my years in this hobby, I have run the stock classes & proud to say I have run w/some of the best drivers in the country, Cutman, Putnam,Polimeda,Cooper,Deangelis,Fie & Flurer, just to name a few.I could go on & on !

As for the 13.5 class of today, im not sure w/the technology, that you can call it a "Stock" class since it really compares to the 19turn of old, which was concidered a "Mod" class back in the day ! Nonetheless, I would love nothing more than to compete w/any of the above mentioned racers anytime !

It's drivers like those that make you step-up your program, pull the batteries tight & get up on the wheel ! Many of those racers have taught me alot over the years, that has in turn, let me help others & I salute & welcome them to compete w/us in the 13.5 class :thumbsup:. They have represented or hobby well !

GO FAST TURN LEFT ! Keith S.

Wow Chris, thats great news. If you sign-up in the wrong place you don't have to pay.;)

[staatsbmxkid]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! trust me he will figure out how to pilot that around the track.... it WILL be dangerous for all and will probably win by laps or be in pieces by first few laps.

just how we roll in the putnum camp :thumbsup:

[Todd Putnam]

When I signed up for all those classes, I never intended to run them all. I just wanted to insure the cars were entered for driver(s) to be named at a later date.

We will have to see who drives what, but I can assure you that I won't be competing/driving in 6 classes, but my cars will be... :thumbsup:

3.5 w/ a 4 cell Lipo?!? How many tickets does it cost for that ride, cause I'm in!!!

[WADE ROWLEY]

3.5 w/ a 4 cell Lipo?!? How many tickets does it cost for that ride, cause I'm in!!!

wow! what a ride that would be! i"m in also....for about 1 lap. :ha:

:checkeredflag:

[rj14]

I can do it! I just need some string, a case of beer, polish army knife, duct tape and pic of ernest borgnine....

[teopro27]

3.5....lol thats funny RJ, I've seen what you do with a 13.5:o

[signman501]

I was wondering who i talk to if i had a question about the rule. I am wanting to make a trip there, to race in the gas truck class. I have a nitro rustler and was wondering what i need to do to change it, cause i assume i can't race the engine that came with it. If someone can let me know that would be great.

thanks
