A HO track will be in Buena Park Raceway in the beginning of 2015!

 

Also, a 5 lane tri oval HO track will be running at Big Lou Toys in Culver City!

 

We will be running monthly races at both locations.

The new Mega G+, with the can motor, will be the car raced.

 

Hope to see you at the races!!!

What track will it be?  

[bbr]

The track for BPR is the Big SHOt 1 track redone to fit the area next to the kingleman track,

 

The track for Big Lou Toys is a new five lane banked tri oval currently in design and constriction,

[Craig]

Mike, when and where are these going to be available to purchase?

 

And, what's with the circuit board?  Are they digital?

[drrufo]

Mike, two questions. How are you going to determine the level of the traction magnets? I just bought magnets that clam to be level 52 for my mega-g cars.  Is the a place to buy the parts for the proposed car and will the be the cars limited to 1.7 mega-g cars or can you use the 1.5 wheelbase car?

 

 Ok one more question, how will the controllers be hooked up?

The car is suppose to be out for this hoilday season.
The circuit board is to suppress the rf noise from the motor (more goverment regulations)

Gauss meter, but with level 52 mag you will notice an big improvement in grip.
Most HO performance parts are had thru mail order. That's has been the nature of the beast.
With BPR and Big Lou Toys having a track, I hope they will carry the performace parts for this car.
Most of the performace parts guys do sell to retailers.
The new car will be in 1.7 and 1.5 wb, I believe. Most of the old AFX stockcar bodies are the 1.5 wb, the new bodies are 1.7 wb.
The tracks are wired for three post hookups.

thank you

some more info:

 

the HO oval track stated for Big Lou's is now going to be a five lane American Orange HO layout, with a bank and a donut!

 

here are the rules for the HO racing at BPR and Big Lou's.

these are similar to what have been running in the SCHOR racing, this class has been well developed and the Tomy G+, Tomy SRT, Tyco 440 X2 are the front running cars, but that doesn't mean the other cars don't run well.

since we will be running stockcar bodies the Lifelike (Lifelike didn't have a good open wheel body) will now be competitive.

Mike,

 

Are the can motors available to purchase by themselves?

Mike,

do not know, have to wait until the new car comes out for us to buy.

in the past rollers were available, and then retailers parts out the rollers for spares.

[Tim Neja]

WHY isn't there a stock class for the new BSRT car??  It's by far the best deal out of the box for a great handling and very consistent race car??  Hard body OR lexan---could be two great box stock class's!

[Tim Neja]

Very nice Mike!! Now we have something to play on at BPR!! I'll have to dig out my HO cars when I come down for retro and hard body racing!!
