Status: offline 		The Nitro Pit will be hosting its first 1/5 scale race on Saturday Aug. 2nd. Racing starts at 6pm. Entry fee is $15. I need to get a list of names that will be attending. There will also be a practice session this Friday, July 18th from 6pm till 11pm. Practice fee is $10.

As most of you know, when Papago got closed down by the city, I bought a share of The Nitro Pit. I am trying to talk my business partners into building a purpose built 1/5th scale track, but to do that, I need to show them that there will be a decent turnout for this type of racing. So for the months of August and September, we will be holding a 1/5 scale race every other Saturday, then hopefully we can build a 1/5 scale track like no other.

We will race 2wd and 4wd together unless we get five cars for each class, then we will separate them. We will be running two 10 minute qualifiers and a 20 minute A main. If there are enough for a B Main, it will be 10 minutes and the top two will bump up to the A main.

So let me know who can attend this first race. Below will be the master list.


1. Myself (Bill Massey) -4wd Buggy
2. Andy Piceno -2wd Buggy
3. Rob -4wd Buggy
4. ViolentJR- 2wd Buggy
5. Angelshark- 2wd Buggy & 4wd Buggy
6. Defunkt- 2wd Buggy
7. Jeckler- 2wd Buggy
8. Scooby (Tucson)
9. Slamnd60 (Tucson)
10. 1 other Tucson crew member
11. Bill Irwin and crew- 4 total, all 2wd
15. Scoot (from the az rc freaks website)
16. rliguori

I may have another team of 4 coming out, they will know next week if they can make it.

1. Myself (Bill Massey) -4wd Buggy
2. Andy Piceno -2wd Buggy
3. Rob -4wd Buggy
4. ViolentJR- 2wd Buggy
5. Angelshark- 2wd Buggy & 4wd Buggy
6. Defunkt- 2wd Buggy
7. Jeckler- 2wd Buggy
8. Scooby and the Tuscon guys-all 2wd I beleive- how many??????
9. Bill Irwin and crew- 4 total, all 2wd
13. Scoot (from the az rc freaks website)

I will be making some changes to the track, especially the ski jump on the right hand side, I will make it so we dont lawn dart into it. The big double is faster and less damaging to just single-single, and the left side double triple is better to double-double-single.

I just watched a video of race 3 at milestone MX track, and thats exactly what I will build once I get the OK, but we need good showing for about 4 races before I can do that.

The double is a killer, that's for sure. Towards the end of the night I just wanted to see how far I could get the Baja to fly. Now I'm waiting for parts. You're right about the left side jumps too.

I wouldn't mind doing it. I can only get in 2 laps with the Redcat and then it breaks. If you are seriously interested, email me at bill@onehobbies.com

Its good to see a 1/5th scale company stepping up and putting together a race team. This truly shows they are proud and confident in their products. Good job!
