Dirt dawgs race at Elbourn on the 3rd (july). -
06-21-2005, 08:14 PM
For the dirt dawgs guys. How many non-members are alowed to come and race with you guys? Directions to the track? Practice time? Race time?, you know, the usual questions. With permission of course, I'd like to post race day on the frontpage to get your club more exposure and possibly generate a very big race day and probably some new signups for the club.
For the rest of the members, how many are planning to check out what their club is all about and race with them on that day? "If you cook scallops in a non-stick pan, then they won't stick. That's why they call it NON F@#*$&%G STICK!!!" - Im watching YOU!- roc

I just joined on Saturday......I'll be at the race on the 3rd.
As far as I know, its an open race day to anyone who wants to come out and race on the new big track.....in hopes to gain more members  Ive seen the plans for the track, from what I understood, it is 180ft X 80ft and has many 5 -6ft high banked turns, lots of jumps and combos, and a very long straight-a-way. I cant wait to see it!

George, I don't have an AMB yet. Does your club have loaners for those unfortunate souls like myself? I would have one by now but I invested all my Mad Money into a new radio system recently.......

Yes we have the loaners, we just ask if you use a loaner you leave us your car keys(deposit like) because we have had people go home with the loaners still in their car.

That's a great system!!!!
Does a stock revo with stock tires stand a chance of even keeping up (read as "staying out of the way") with your race-prepped machines? I think it will be fun to race but I don't really feel like being in the way all day, being a sub-novice class driver. Actually I can drive, don't get me wrong. I just have zero track time. Maybe the boys and I will stop out to watch the races. Does your website list the location of the track for 7/3

the revo would be in the sportsman class, that would race other revos, monster gt, savages etc.
The outlaw class is for the truggies. You should be fine with a Revo. rocco has been winning the Sportsman with his Savage.. The website is being worked on so no, I will post info here soon, I have to get the exact address. To give you an idea, its in Elburn. 1 mile west of Rte 47 on Keslinger is Schneider road. Go south on Schneider 2 miles. Approx 12 minutes from Geneva

I'm there
 Although I would love to join the club, I have no funds to do that right now. I may not even be able to race on the 3rd, maybe just watch/pit/marshal. Currently I'm selling all my RC's
