    I agree.  If the track could stay open until 9pm or 10pm one night a week that would be awesome, especially in summer when it cools down in the evenings.

    E truggy will NOT work on this track.  Maybe for the series but that's about it.  It's just not large enough to fully support 1/8th scale completely.  especially brushless 1/8th stuff.

    :( I much prefer weekend racing. I work a retail job until 6:00 M-F and would likely not be able to eat dinner and get any racing done on a weeknight.

    As Adam (yrekarc) stated we will be doing weekday and weekend racing.  We were thinking Wednesdays and Sundays so that we are not competitive with CGRC's schedule so people can use both.  We want to be a part of the track community around here and not exclude ourselves from it.

    Rite on caleb, wk day and wkd races will be sweet!!! As far as the truggy goes, no big deal. Maybe we can just race them at chads if we get enough of them. I will only bring up my slow tekno sct and my out dated b4.1 wc this wkd. ;-) Maybe I can win in the novice class.

    Those are standard rules for any track. We will be using close to roar rules for racing. Not all of them but basically the same set kfalls, cgrc, rattlesnake etc etc use to depict racing guidelines.

    So, if I understand this correctly, Autoscore uses AMB transponders?

    Autoscore, RC Scoring Pro, Mylaps etc. etc are all lap counting softwares.  The AMBRC4 that we have is the hardware decoder that picks up the signal from your AMB transponders.  None are sold together other than the MYLaps software that AMB sells that almost no RC industry uses.  Most tracks are opting for RC Scoring Pro but since it is still in it's infancy and also the last revision we got basically didn't work, we stepped up for the new BNB Autoscore because of ease of use, cost and because Bill Wishon the guy who made the program is a way cool RC dude!

    Right. I got that, but I just want to be sure if I decide to buy This MYLAPS/AMB v4 transponder I'll be good to go with this specific scoring software. I wasn't aware that you could use specific decoders with other software, so I guess it kinda threw me off.

    I assumed if you ran AMB/MyLaps transponders you had to use their software, too.
