Outback RC Announces Special Electric Short Course Truck Race Day

SCT Showdown at Outback RC Raceway
September 27, 2009

Along with normal club racing, a special feature class will be held for Short Course Trucks (SCT). Trophies/Prize will be awarded to the top 3 positions in this class. Entry, like all classes at Outback RC Raceway, is free.

Classes that are likely to be running on that same day are 4wd, 2wd, and Open (1/8th electric, most anything). The Rc Pro NCCS Spec Slash class will be rolled into the SCT Showdown class this day. All classes are limited to electric vehicles. Rookies are welcome, and a special class may be set aside for such new folks.

The track is open at 9am. Registration is from 10 til 10:20. Then classes are drawn up, a drivers' meeting is held, some track watering is done, and qualifying starts at 11:00 sharp. Three rounds of Rocket Round Qualifying and mains are held. All heats will be 6 minutes. See more track info at www.outbackrc.com.
