50 Lap Race on the Attleboro Speedway

[RexCadral]

Amateurs, including the race marshals. I use SmartRace for race control.
I cut the red-flag waiting periods out.
We're running speed 6/10, which scales out to ~230mph.
A good lap time is under 5.4sec.
I'm running the orange McLaren 720s, the only car that doesn't leave the track.

[Billy boy]

Right on. My name is Bill I’m out in Framingham. I own a four-lane routed track with braid. We have about 8 to 12 guys that come over and race once or twice a month on Thursdays.We also race up at model Ville on Thursdays as well both Ho and 1/32. If you don’t know about model Ville hobby in Ashland mass look it up. We’re always looking for new guys or girls who wanna race. Great bunch of guys. Non-cigarette smokers and no Boozing while we race. Real laid-back crowd. If interested let me know.

It's great to hear Modelville Hobbies is still going, I was afraid they might not survive the pandemic. Great place, I used to stop in there every time I was in the Boston area for college meetings and buy a car and/or a bunch of parts. I live in Maine and haven't been out of the state in a year and a half.

Modelville Hobbies is one of two commercial raceways left in the 6-state New England area. The other is Bristol 1010 Raceway in CT. Modelville, today, is located in what was my old neighborhood from 1969-71.

That race looks a lot like having family members race on my track. Odds of having more than one person who can stay on the track for more than one lap are extremely poor.

[RexCadral]

Yup.That's exactly what was going on.

Rex - you've gotta wire those controllers up with some electrodes. It'd fix that issue in less than an hour I'd bet.
