Charlie are you the gentleman wanting to open a track in lakeland?

[Twisted Metal]

Florida Wing Car Series next race is scheduled for November 21st at Fast Eddie's Slot Cars & Raceway located at 5609 70th Ave North Pinellas Park, FL.

Doors will open at 9:00AM with Type F Tech opening at 10:15AM and Qualifying starting at 10:45AM.

The second race will be 12 Lite wing cars followed by Group 12 to finish out the day.

 

For anyone interested, this Friday evening November 13th we will be having a warm up wing car race. Type F will qualify at 6:30PM with Group 12 cars running afterwards.

 

Face masks are still required for Pinellas County businesses and will be required at the Raceway for all attending this event. Hope you get the chance to come race with some of the best wing car racers in the South on the 154' Ogilvie Hillclimb!!

Wing car racers......Fast Eddie's Slot Cars & Raceway in Pinellas Park Florida will be hosting a Type F Intimidator Endurance race scheduled for Saturday July 24.

Doors will open at 10:00AM  with racing starting around 11:30 - 12:00.

Two or three man teams with 5 minute heats two times through the rotation and one minute in between heats. All work and or repairs will be performed under green flag racing. Yes...this will also include oiling the cars as well.

We will use our current gear spec of 13/37 64 pitch that we are currently running in the Intimidator Type F Championships series.

No aluminum chassis or hollow axles will be allowed.

Each racers will be required to run an equal amount of heats for each team.

Entry fee will be $100 per team. Each team will receive 2 Intimidator motors, 2 sets of spec JK tires and lunch will be provided by the raceway. 

There will be Concours judging, 50/50 drawings, prize giveaways along with plaques for all participants. 

Get your team together and let me know so I can get you signed up on the sheet.

We look forward to having a great day of slot car racing with all the gang.

Would be great if the Fla Wing Series made the intimidator format its F Class spec. That way when the series travels to different tracks the local wingers can race with the state guys. 

[Twisted Metal]

As of now the FWCS is running 3 motor building classes pretty much eliminating any participation from local racers wanting to run with the big dogs when they race at other tracks. Yes....having a spec motor etc race included in the state series would help increase participation.

Marcus and I are already running Intimidator F Type races so you think it would only make sense.

[Twisted Metal]

Any results from the first race of the new season held in Melbourne?

[gatormark]

We ran our first intomidator race last week Ed.

Any plans for wing car races in Florida this fall [2021]? I live in Ocala and have a LOT of "stuff" having been very active in Texas. If there are plans what type of wing cars will be run?

 

Thanks in advance,

On Tuesdays I have a Group F race here at P1 Raceway, I'm located in Winter Garden-Fl

[Steve T]

Hi Marcus and thank you for responding. Apparently, Winter Garden is not too far from Ocala! What are your hours? I am not on Facebook or any other social media so if you have a site there I cannot check it. Do you sell any motors and tires for Group F? What type of bodies and chassis work on your track? I have several different Group F chassis and bodies that worked excellent on King tracks. What would you recommend? 

 

Thanks again,

 

Steve

Hi Steve! These are the times the track is open
- Tuesday 7p to 10p with the Group F race starting at 8p
- Thursday 7p to 10p to practice
- Friday 4p to 10:30p and we start race FLEXI around 6:30p
The longer chassis and bodies work best on my track, the motor is the Intimidator with 13/37 gear and we use the JK tires treated or untreated purchased here at the track.

[Steve T]

Thank you Marcus. I shall dust off my Group F stuff and head your way soon. I have both long and short chassis for Group F so I will set up a long chassis. With or without ball bearings???  We were using Hawk motors for Group F but no big deal. I googled Intimidator motor and noticed that they come in ball bearings and oil light bearings. Which one do your guys run? Do you sell them?

 

Thanks again and I will get down there this month.

 

Thanks again, Steve

[Marcus P1 Raceway]

I have the motor without bearing which is what we use to sell, It is allowed to use bearings on the axle.

[Steve T]

Thanks Marcus.

 

See you soon!

[gatormark]

Tuesday is intimidator motors only?

[Hot Slots]

Where are the rules posted for the 3 classes

[Tampabay racer]

Hahahaha on finding the rules.

[Steve T]

More importantly, when are the races??? Inquiring minds want to know!

[Steve T]

That being said, I would be happy to create a draft set of rules for each class. Just let me know which classes you all would like to run and I will create a draft document. I have many years of experience in wing racing and have a nice library of documents to draw from. No tracks close to me here in Ocala but I would gladly assist.

 

Cheers, Steve

P-1's rules are written as a tech checklist.

I'm attaching the .xls file that anyone can modify for their use if they want to.
