Warnberg;
Go to this section of the AMA website where you will find the radio control pylon Racing rules.

The slowest of these classes is 424 Quickee, which is about 110-120 mph. The faster class of Quickee, 428, is about 150-160 mph. The fastest of the AMA classes, Q-40 (422), is about 170 mph. Of these three classes, 424 would be the best entry level class.
There is some good AMA racing in the Tampa/Orlando areas. Contact Scott Smith
[email protected] in the Lake Wales FL area. He is in the thick of racing in your area. There is a 424/428/422 race near Orlando early in December '08. Scott will know the details. I've had some really good times racing with these guys.
Also there is a good bit of Club 40 racing in the North/Central Florida area. I've also raced with these guys a lot before I moved to near Nashville. Contact Lyman Slack
[email protected] for their rules and schedule of races. They have about one race per month. The Club 40 class is a slower, inexpensive, one- design, entry-level class you may find interesting if you are just starting out in racing. Some people find AMA 424 a little too much for their very first time.
