Rules

We are going to be observing the 2010 ROAR rules at this event. If you are unaware of these rules or updates please visit the link below. We will continue to use a visual technical inspection as the race builds in popularity. If you are looking to bump-up during the weekend or plan on finishing in the top 3 you will want to be utilizing a legal combination.

2010 ROAR Rules - view it here

Lake Park Rules

As a new addition to the rules and regulations for the Hillsborough Parks and Recreation it is now necessary to pay $2.00 per day to enter Lake Park. Please be prepared at the gate to pay to enter the Park. Unfortunately this is not negotiable and it is necessary in order to keep the park running. You will be given a ticket for your vehicle that is good for the whole day. Example here


Regional Park Entry

  • $2.00/vehicle
  • Up to 8 persons
  • $1/person over 8

Practice days

Practice will start at 8:00am on Thursday December 9th. Practice will alternate between electric and nitro sessions before closing at 6:00pm.

Race schedule

A tentative schedule has been prepared to help determine length of the program and amount of available time. In a perfect world with no problems we are currently scheduled to run 4 qualifiers. Things change and so does the weather so this is very tentative.

Qual. Points will be used with Best 2 out of 4 scoring your result. This gives a driver wanting to just race on Saturday and Sunday only the option of coming in to qualify on Saturday and running 2 qualifiers. Please remember if a 4th round is dropped for scheduling or weather reasons, that is the risk taken by the driver that misses the first day of qualifying.

Check in and registration

The first thing to do when you arrive at the track is to check in. We are going to be doing this outside the track area by the JConcepts hospitality area. Only registered drivers and mechanics will be allowed onto the track for practice. You have to register before you can practice. Very simple.

Covered pit space

Covered pits with power are only being offered on a first come first serve basis. This space is limited and drivers traveling in from out of the area should have the first priority to the areas within the fenced in area. Local drivers and others that are familiar with Lake Park should come prepared with your normal pit area arrangements.

Track

Expect a fast track and layout. Special consideration will be made for 1/8th buggies and trucks to ensure available racing space and constant speed. The Lake Park facility is more than capable of handling at layout of this nature with its dimensions being 153' x 68'.  The 2007 and 2008 track layouts were fast and following. Expect more of the same and we are going to get a little more air this year on the jumps as well. :)

Battery Suggestions

We highly recommend Lipo batteries for the extended racing action offered at the Clash. All Lipo batteries (7.4v for all but 4wd electric 1/8th) are legal for competition, but it is recommended to use the hard shell type. Anything over 5000 mah would be safe for a longer 15 minute main.  We also recommend charging in a Lipo case / bag for safety.  

Here is some very useful information regarding Lipo batteries. Please read this information prior to use: Lipo.pdf

  • Electric Mod classes - 5 minutes - Triple A-Mains as time allows
