If I want to race on and off road, how would that work?
First you get 2 different cars, 1 offroad and 1 onroad. if you are really good you might be able to stand between both tracks and control your cars on both tracks at the same time.
Just kidding. Offroad runs 1st and 3rd Sundays. Onroad runs 2nd and 4th Sundays. When we are running a club race on the offroad track - we close the Onroad track until we are finished with racing. When we are running a club race on the onroad track - we close the offroad track until we are finished with racing.
It's been this way for years and works just fine.

I've raced at hot rod hobbies and Elings RC raceway, I was wondering if you guys have talked about doing a series with those tracks?
most of the time the inter track series just don't work. most of our guys are local and don't travel. unless you got a manufacture behind the series it's tough. we have a race going just about every sunday, along with our points series and our big races, we've run out of weekends - even tougher when you have limited people to help and prep things.
my family still loves me now, if I propose something like this to my wife - i'll have all the time in the world by myself. I love my family,so it won't be me trying to run that series.

This coming Sunday's Onroad club race is going to be a normal club race - prepped track and computer system. we will be having our first training session for our new race directors, so be ready for some different voices on the microphone. we might even change the format on the qualifying rounds to a lesser time, but run more qualifiers. this will do a couple of things - it will give the racers more races and the race directors will get more training.
track will be washed on Saturday starting around 9:30am and after it has dried the track will be set-up if there are enough people to do the layout. if the track doesn't get set-up on Saturday afternoon then it will get set-up on Sunday morning. if you want to practice on Saturday then please come out and help with the prep work. please let me know if you can help with any of the above mentioned items.
Sunday's race will start at the normal time - 9:30am sign-ups will close and start racing at 9:45am. we'll vote at the driver's meeting on the format for qualifying. we need the racers help on Sunday so we can train new race directors under normal/ semi-normal race conditions. the faster we get the new directors trained - the faster we can get back to racing our normal schedule. please do your part and help us through this process.

What don't you guys run electric jbrl in the future.
You guys should have a JBRL race, track looks like it has all the space for 200+ drivers.
we have our one big offroad race each year and a couple of fundriser towards the end of the year. our normal schedule is a race either onroad or offroad every sunday, that's a lot of work just for club races and our points series. the big races are nice but it's a lot of work for very little return, a quick question for both of you - have you ever organized and race directed a big race like JBRL or even a 2 day event?
we have had both JBRL and ROAR Offroad Regional races at our track in the past and maybe in the future, time will tell.

yes I have. notch has done some announcing for us in the past. it's been a few years now, he still comes by and puts on some laps for fun when he can. he's a super guy and I think his series are great. it's still a lot of work to organize that type of series, you have to try to make all the racers happy.
come on out for one of our races and enjoy a great time. check www.roadrunnersrc.com for race dates.

Yeah I'll go and check it out. I usually race at jbrl series. The big race that you guys do, is it sponsored by a hobby shop or by an RC brand?
donations from our sponsor are for the free raffle. we the club host these big races and our membership helps run them. I have a very good race staff for the big races, they take care of entries, check-in, shirt handouts, posting of points, and the raffle. their great doing this job and I don't have to worry about it. if the club wants the big races, then they have to help out and they do.
watch for flyers on the big races coming soon
