In the SC modified class you have to run a SC tire and SC body. You can change anything else you want!

are we racin 1/10 mods?

Just mod sc I beleve

that sucks we ran them last year i just bought a new one for this year.

rick, call jim @ sparetime if theres enough of them maybe they will run a class. the mod class seems to be making a comeback . do you have your baja running yet??? that should be the next big thing!!! regards, mike

not yet been tryin to get my nitros running. u goin up for race one?

yes sir, might bring baja for a few laps. cant wait

so if we have 3 or more bajas can we race them?

I belive the only classes are as follows; 1/8 Buggy, Truggy, Monster Truck, Spec Core truck and new for 2010 Modified Core Truck Class 4x4. Due to time constraints, I don't think they will allow any other classes and they dropped the stadium truck for the mod SC 4x4 class.

Time to dust them off guys just 4 days away ! I know im almost ready ! ARE YOU ?????

Oh yeah! Weather looks good too

going to work on the track tonight, breaking in a new motor tomorow and no sleep on saturday ya yaaaaa come on race day, like waiting for christmas

we had an awsome turnout for the series race 1 at sparetime hobbies raceway. there was alot of great competition. everything ran smoothly, i would like to thank all the people that put their hard work who made this happen, you guys put on a great race again thank you very much.

click on it 2 times fast and it brings you to youtube so you can see the full screen

What a great start for the 2010 Maine RC Series. Great turn out and some awesome competition! Thank you Sparetime Hobby, Jim Lawrence and all that helped to get Race #1 in the books. Speaking of Jim, I think a tiny rule change needs to start in affect. My idea is Jim drives blindfolded .......... no, blindfolded and turned with his back to the track ........yeah ........no ....... blindfolded , back to the track and one arm tied behind him ..... yeah that should make things equal!

Hope all had a good time,
See ya in three weeks

Yeah I had an awesome time as well! It is looking like a bright season for offroad racing

I still can't believe how lucky that guy is in the video not to get his fingers smashed...

A couple of things I noticed from the race...

I saw a lot of close calls with marshalls almost getting hurt yesterday. I also noticed that sometimes the marshall in a attempt to get the crashed truck back on the truck would actually slow down the racer who was behind. It wouldn't be his/her fault that the person in front of them crashed but they would have to pay the price if the marshall decides to run on the track to flip over a crashed truck. Just my 2 cents on maybe something we can cover on the next driver's meeting at Berwick.

i agree, it was a great turnout. lots of fun.there was some lame corner marshalling, we should address this @ the next race. there was people on cell phones, some dumbass taking pics while he was supposed to be marshalling, in general people not paying attention. very frustrating when you're trying to lay down some good laps . good job jim, see you all in a couple of weeks!!!

yea i see the guy taking pics while working the corner lol. If you want pics take them on your owntime I say. I used my own time to take this video and i had like 30 min of video. So there is no reason to take pics while your there to corner marshall.

Some pic's.......
