Yeah man it's coming - the Biggest Small Racing event of the year
The Micro 1K

1,000 Laps around the Belly

Last year it was 500 laps, 19.4 miles of Micro Racing in approximately 2.5hrs. This year with the new dividers and some track tweaking, we should have about 40+ miles of racing - in just under 6 hours.

Short rule summary (detailed one to follow):

* 3 cars
* 3 drivers (all Drivers must drive at least one battery pack)
* 1 optional Pit man (Pit man cannot marshal only work on broken cars in pit, no assistance to racing.
* Drivers are only ones allowed to do transponder swaps and race pit stuff)
* Dedicated Pit Lane for car changes and repairs
* 6 cell maximun - micro size cells only, no sub C cells
* HPI mod motors only (No other 45t motors are acceptable)
* Any Micro Chassis (i.e., TRINITY, Penguin, RatZas etc.....)
* Any Micro Tire - (Rubber or foam) (No Extra bonus points for $300 German wheels, sorry Vince)
* 15 teams maximum - Yes, if we have 15 teams there will be 15 cars running on the track
* Each driver will be running a "reserved" frequency - i.e., I sign up on channel 6, no other racer can use channel 6

Due to length of race time no qualifying. Race starting Grid will be sign up order.

Will be opening e-mail and online registration for this event soon.

Right now, the estimated date will be end of September beginning of October. We will issue a firm date when we confirm what weekends there are no other big events going on last time we ran the same weekend as a big race up north. This time we'll make sure there's nothing else going on :):D

Stay tuned its going to be the craziest race in town.

Last year good strategy's paid out over being the fastest drivers in some cases. Bottom line - from first place to last place everyone had a blast and fun is what it's all about.

Look forward to seeing a big crowd this year.... Any Questions e-mail Drew (pottbelly@pottbellysrc.com) or ask away here :):D

Hope to see you all at this event :D

Over the weekend, Team #13 was firmed up!! Yes, you read it correctly, 13 teams for the Micro 1000 :D :eek:

That means 13 cars on the track, plenty of passing and door rubbing action to be had :D

The time is slowly approaching :D and tensions are mounting...Last minute preparations are being devised in each team's secret garage...Here are some of the rumors/questions/innuendos floating around the track......

Will Team Triple Treat take this micro event?? Or will there be a new team dethroning the current champs??

Will Team Mayhem take on the world with their new member - the Bad muther himself??

Will Team Belly's secret driver be Josh or someone else?? and will this person help or hinder the team's performance??

Will Team 6FT's quick transponder swap help them keep up with the front runners??

Will Team DNF actually finish this event, or will they live up to their name? and will the addition of "little tiger" help catapult them to the top??

Will Team Green Flash help Crash Gorden gain his revenge over his old teammates on Team Belly?? Or will he crash and burn and take Team Green with him?

Will Team Chicken Bonz display a dominance that they shows at E-Town's Micro endurance - or was simply a flash in the pan??

Will Team Brownies come into town and show us all how to race these little micro cars??

Will Team 13 dispell the bad rumors and vibe associated with the number 13 to win the whole thing outright??

You want the answers to these pressing questions, you gotta stop by the Belly on Sunday, October 5th...By 5pm, all these answers and more will get resolved and a new champion will be crowned
