motor question

feeds@yuku.com (Rescue) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:57:17 GMT
I am just looking into more of the rules and such and since I want to run GT2 does this mean that the motor for the actual race is supplied by TCS? So the motor I would use for practice I would have to take out and then go get one from the offical's?

Noobie question

feeds@yuku.com (Rescue) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:36:55 GMT
I am wanting to run this year in the series in the GT2 class and under the chassis allowences TT01 is mention. Does that cover all the TT01 chassis including the TT01R and TT01E or only the TT01 chassis?

Spec and GT3 class

feeds@yuku.com (KellyMac) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:44:01 GMT

I'm new to TCS this past year but has there ever been any consideration to adding the Spec and/or the GT3 class to the Canadian TCS? I think most people consider the Mini somewhat of a entry level class but I realized this year that its pretty competitive and those cars are turning quicker laps then most GT2 cars. I think it could be discouraging to some new drivers.

Also would like to see the GT2 class move to 17.5t brushless. I am getting passed by minis out there!

Hi TRF team,

Thanks for a good event, would you please post all of the results for the weekend? (top three know who they are but I imagine that most people would like to know how they stacked up 4-25th)

For what it is worth, I prefer the system you used last year - I will volunteer to do the addition and writting (assuming I qualify next year if it means we can return to that system).

Cheers,

Matt.

Congrats to all the winners of their respective classes.

Thanks,
Joe

First off, congrats to those who have qualified ahead of this saturday's last chance qualifier.

As the head of tech for this years TCS finals it is my responsibility to inform those attending the finals of some important changes to our handout motor rules. In years past, drivers were given the opportunity to purchase a second motor to use along with the handout motor we always provide, however for this year that option will no longer be available. Instead we have decided to...

Rain or Shine for the TCS races?

feeds@yuku.com (Jamehz) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:45:58 GMT
Well, of course the weather's up in the air but most indicators are pointing to some rain late Saturday and scattered throughout Sunday.

Is it a race rain or shine for both the last-chance race and the finals?

If so, time to stock up on rubber balloons!
