CRC's 'CLIK-TRAK' / FASTCATS TIMER / HOTEL UPDATE / MOTOR
& TIRE PRICES / 10 MINS OF FAME / MORE
  -
We are happy to announce that for this
year's Snowbirds we are using the new CRC Racing
Clik-Trak system for the road course. The new track material
is great as it has nice smooth arches, is professionally constructed, is
very racecar friendly, builds quick and easy, and provides a great looking
track. Our club used it last weekend for the first time and the
overall response from our crew and racers was tremendously positive.
Thanks to CRC for working with us.
-
John at
FastCats has an
awesome practice timer that has been used at some big events that racers
love. He is going to be a part of the Snowbirds and bring this down
for the race. Racers get a barcode to place on their radio and when
they walk up to the machine all you do is scan it, and you will be given the
option to print your laps, your best laps, and more! This is really
going to make practice even better as racers won't be searching through
piles of paper and times to find their laps. Thank you so much John
and FastCats!
-
The Radisson has blocked a record number of
rooms for the Snowbirds. We went way over ours and theirs
expectations. This is a great sign the race will be another huge
event, and that the 'Hot Rod Hotel' will be a happening place full of
racers. The great news is they have extended our room block and waived
the cutoff date. This means if you have not made a reservation, you
still can get in at the great Snowbird price. Don't pay the $120+
night price found online.
-
Handout motor prices will be $15 for your 1st
motor and $30 for additional motors. You can purchase up to two
additional handout motors. Handout touring rubber tires will be $30.
We will have a limit of three sets of tires you can purchase for racing.
Racers can buy unmarked tires to practice with. You can not swap tires
between classes (if running stock and outlaw). Entry did not include
handout motor/tires. Motors and tires will be available at check-in.
(2nd/3rd motor and tire prices same as
2007)
-
XTreme RC Cars is again
stepping up with race coverage and prizes for the event. This race
will feature a chance to be a 'centerfold' by winning 'Xtreme's 10 Minutes
of Fame'. One lucky winner in the raffle will be given a small section
in the magazine to talk about their race and the race weekend, and have a
picture in the magazine! This will be fun for sure. Thanks
Derek!
Other items needing to be addressed
for the race:
-
We can not have anyone enter the ballroom /
racetrack area Sunday or Monday. In the past we allowed racers to come
by and see us while we set everything up. This year our setup is
shorter and we are on a very tight schedule. Plus the hotels contract
with groups do not allow non-Radisson employees or non-group staff members
in the setup area. Thank you for understanding and your cooperation.
-
Drivers that have reserved a pit area can pay
for their spot at check-in. We will have two racers per table, and
each table is 6' x 30". This is plenty of space. You may want to
bring some storage towers, etc. if you want more room. Please bring a
small cord and 6-way. Some tables are already RSVP'ed, and some will
be first come-first served. At this time we don't have any more
openings. If we do have any, we will know at the race. A few
months ago we had a note on our front page about this and several confirmed
they wanted a table. So if you missed this, we are sorry.
-
We have about 15 racers confirmed they need
trailer parking for pitting. This area is going to be roped off and
will be first-come first-served. Generators are ok. No power is
available from hotel. We will broadcast on 2-way FRS radios so you can
hear the race action. If you need a spot please
e-mail.
-
Entries are really starting to come in.
We are going to post class openings this week. If you want to get in a
class, do it now on-line. This guarantees you a spot (not e-mailing
us)
-
Here is a general update on timing and how
things will work: Check-in begins Monday night in the pre-function
area of the ballroom. It also will be available throughout the week in
the tech area. Tuesday is practice. Wednesday is practice.
We have some open times both days. Drivers meeting is Wednesday at
3:30pm. We have four heats of qualifying with a resort after each
race. Drivers are not ranked and the first heat is not sorted.
We set the field randomly. The top 9 cars are locked into the A-main
after four rounds. B-mains are raced on Saturday and the winner
advances into the A-mains which are run on Sunday. Saturday night we
are working on a poolside tiki party and will be handing out TQ awards,
bump-n-run awards, b-main screwed awards, and maybe more. The D-mains
and lower are run first on Sunday. Then we race a A-main, C-main,
A-main, C-main, etc.
-
The 'FREE' SK and F1 expo races will be 4cell
stock foams. We will work on a short practice session Wednesday for
these cars. Fields are already set with drivers (8 SKs and 10 F1s).
The 'Alpha Cup' F1 cars will be the last class to race in road. The SK
cars will be the first class to race in oval. Both will race all the
heats and main. We have awards sponsored for the top three in both.
We are excited to bring these new cars to the 'birds and allow them to race
and showcase what they are all about.

HAPPY NEW YEAR / RACE
UPDATE
The 14th annnual 2008 Snowbirds
are just a few weeks away! Are you ready!!! We are... The trend the past few years has been more
and more entries coming in after the holidays. And this year is no
exception, as the past few days we have had several come in. The race is
close to 400 paid and that is way over halfway. Right now 31 states are
represented and 8 countries! Great representation so far from around the
World! Several sponsors are sending their drivers in this week and that will
fill out the race fast! Once we hit 600 then classes will be filled and
closed. But the good news is you have time. There are openings in each and
every class. You can sign up on-line and pay on-line. Advertisement
for this year's race began way back in April when we started to announce a
brand new home for the 'birds. The Radisson Resort is everything you could
ask for a Florida hotel, with an awesome tropical theme and rated one of the
best in the area. The new 'Hot Rod Hotel' is right next to Disney, all the
major theme parks, and all the hot Florida tourist spots. Many have hoped we
would move the event to a 'nicer' hotel and we are so excited about the new
beginning at the Radisson. This year you will not be disappointed! The best
news is we were able to keep the rate low, as it comes out to even less than
the last year couple years at the old place. You have another week to make
those reservations at the low Snowbird rate. Call now! Info is on our site.
Here is a cool video showing the hotel:
here. Most importantly, we have had unbelievable support from our
sponsors for this years event. We know you have heard it before, but without
them, the Snowbirds could not happen. Thank you to each and every one of
you. Please support the companies that support the Snowbirds and RC racing!
A special thanks goes out to Team Trinity once again for the continued
sponsorship of the 'birds. We look forward to their brand new race team and
will be welcoming Ernie who is coming down for the week. A bigger better
Manufacture's row this year is going to be great for companies to showcase
products, their teams and more. One thing that can not be denied, the
Snowbirds is all about racing. If you are a racer then this race is for
you!!! A fair and even track, that is totally built from the ground up just
for this race, provides no local favorites or advantages. No matter what
variables are presented, they are the same for everyone, and racers have to
adapt and adjust. It is what racing is all about. It is what racers live
for! The ultimate week of competition and racing is found at the Snowbirds.
And with half the program road, the other half oval, there is action around
the clock. A wild and fun experience. Got racing? We do sometimes 24 hours a
day! Here are some of the exciting things happening this year. The 'Bump N
Run' Saturday program returns, with winners of the B-main getting to move
into the A-main. Talk about an exciting Saturday of racing last year! We are
bringing back the 'BQ Screw' award to the 10th place qualifier that has to
race to get into the A. These were a big hit last year. New for 2008 is an
award that will be given to the top oval racer and top road racer, called
the 'The Snowbird Cup Champion'. Racers overall results will be figured in
two of the fastest classes: 10.5 and Mod for oval, and 12th Mod and Touring
Mod for road. Already a bunch of racers competing in this, all racing for a
awesome Cup trophy we will be giving each year! A-main winners will be
awarded a 'one-of-a-kind' and totally awesome crystal acrylic trophy (there
is a sneak peek on the news page). New for 2008, we are doing three resorts,
one after each round, with four rounds of racing. Once again, heats are
going to be setup totally random. This is the best way to keep things as
even and fair as possible. Racers have to race their way to the A. If you
make the A - you definitely earned it! The Snowbird TRC Racing Crew is
returning, with Dave Fox, Sam Ledford, Jim Smith and Dave Butts on the road
side, and Ken Holmes, Paul Schaub, John Moukie on the oval side, with big
help from Gene Crane, Bill Spicer, Mike Bean, Curt Sanderson, Mel McCoy, and
more! These guys rock, as they love RC racing, and really have a great time
providing a great atmosphere for you to race at. The track building crew
with Tom and Steve Pedano, Troy Meridith, and Kip Ellerbusch do awesome each
and every year. The new hotel layout is amazing for the race. The
ballroom is huge, with tall ceilings, great lighting, and more room than
ever - and is very spectator friendly. The parking lot has plenty of space
for trailers, and we have already reserved parking for over a dozen trailers
signed up. Just e-mail us to get on the list. For the racers that pit in
their hotel rooms, we have a killer hotel network ready to go with results,
a webcam, standings, and audio, all on your TV screen. And the hotel has
FREE internet which is a great perk - so bring your laptops. We also will
have the FRS radios working so you can hear the action walking around and in
your trailers. Don't forget, Saturday night we are planning a big Tiki Pool
party, with a DJ and more. We want to have some fun, awarding TQ's,
bump-n-run winners, etc. And the sports bar at the hotel is 1st class and
will be having a killer Super Bowl party Sunday night, which will be after
the races are over. What a better place to enjoy the game and be able to
walk back to your room. And who can miss the 2008 Miss Snowbird's for
Sunday... What a fun day of awards and more it will be. Make sure to bring a
camera. Xtreme RC Cars is a big sponsor of the 'birds and they will be
having great race coverage once again. We hope you saw our ad that was ran
for a couple months in there for the Snowbirds! Xtreme will also be running
a special feature on this year's Snowbird Cup Champions for road and oval,
something new for 2008. Thanks Xtreme. We also just got confirmation from
Car Action and RC Driver that they are coming to the 'birds to cover all the
racing action. Thanks everyone. Another big addition to this year's event is
a major cross promotion we are doing with MACS Automotive and their
convention being held next door at Disney. They are sponsoring the 'birds,
have run ads on our race, and are handing out flyers to thousands of their
attendees, so we expect more spectators than ever this year. Thursday we are
sponsoring part of their welcome party and setting up a hands-on demo track
with video and more from the Snowbirds, and will be showcasing RC cars to
the public. We are excited to be able to be working outside of RC to expand
the public's awareness of our hobby/sport. As always we are having a live
webcam with results on-line. Last year we had over 4500+ verifiable unique
visitors tuning in from around the world. This is going to be fantastic to
help give our race sponsors and racers the recognition they deserve. For
road classes this year we have the all new Outlaw Touring road with Lipo and
brushless, already with a bunch of racers. This should be exciting and
interesting to say the least. Also the addition of the 12th scale GTP 19
turn class is new and adding something to the show. For oval the brushless
classes are showing huge numbers. Trucks are back with the addition of
brushless and Lipo, and the Custom Works Sprints switched to 4cell
brushless. Still a big class of 27T and 19T are coming in with 12th scales
looking strong. We dropped 6cell mod so 4cell mod is the top dog class. Oval
now has 8 classes along with the road classes. New for 2008 are two
demo classes. The SK Modifieds are racing on oval, and F1 Open Wheel cars
are running on the road. Both are gaining interest across America and we are
excited to showcase them to the R/C world. The greatest thing about these
classes is we have full fields and sponsors , with killer awards. Fun Fun
Fun! Some more exciting news is coming soon we are excited to
announce. But we have to save that for Mondays. We hope everyone is excited
as we are about the 14th annual Snowbirds. The new location, fantastic
sponsor support, huge racer following, fantastic race coverage, and
unbelievable competition, are all major reasons racers have helped make the
Snowbirds one of the biggest and most premier races in the World. CYA here
in a few weeks!
12.24.07
MERRY CHRISTMAS / GENERAL
STUFF
Not a lot of news today, as the
holidays are here. All of us from Thunder Racing want to wish you a
very Merry Christmas. There will be a new entry update this week.
We might be past 300 paid already, with only about 10 percent of the team
entries in I can count. It is looking like a sellout year once again!
As it is every year, entries really roll in after the New Year, when the
holidays are over and racers start thinking about racing and the Snowbirds.
This is why we work hard with the hotel to extend our hotel room block until
after the 1st. You have until January 7th to make those hotel
reservations at the special Snowbird rate. After that, the rates go up
to over 120 a night at least... So make those reservations. Remember
you get a 10 percent discount if you stay five or more nights.
Everything for the race is coming together great. We have a big
meeting at the hotel this week and are going over some last minute details.
Handout motor and tire prices will be announced soon after the 1st.
The SK oval and F1 road demo classes have filled, and those rules will also
be out soon after the 1st. We will have a racer letter on-line going
over some of the race details as we have done in the past. These will
be the basics to help plan your race week. Look for the new racer list
up this week (several more from overseas and some new states!). Have a
great holiday everyone!
12.17.07
REGISTERED RACERS / RACER
MAP LIVE
 The
first of many updates is now on-line with the current list of racers
registered for the upcoming 2008 Snowbirds. Right now 25 states are
represented, showing a great support from all over the country, and quite a
few from overseas already! By the looks of things, we are on pace for
a sellout once again, with well over 100 names already (not entries).
You can see the current list here and an
interactive map compliments of HobbyTalk
here. If you have registered and don't see your name please
let us know via e-mail. There are still several names awaiting final
confirmation from Paypal, so don't worry too much if you think you are
supposed to be on the list. This update is through last week, and so
if you submitted any entries the past few days you will be on the next
update. We will try and have an update every 4-5 days.
12.10.07
TOURING RUBBER TIRES
ANNOUNCED / SPRINT CAR RULES / F1 'ALPHA CUP' NEWS
  The
handout spec tire for the touring stock class and touring outlaw class are
going to be JACO GREEN's for 2008. Racers will be able to purchase
them at check-in and they will be available at a great price (to be
announced later). Tires will be teched for racing, and racers will
have a limit on the number they can purchase for racing. The Sprint
Car class rules are now posted, and the race flyer is
here. The
Custom Works GBX cars will once again be wingless and be given a pair of
spec tires with their entry, and this year they will be racing 4cells and
10.5 Novak brushless systems. This change is going to make the cars
slightly faster, but handle better with the lighter weight (last year they
ran 6cell stock). Tony Stewart has confirmed he will once again be
handing out a killer award for 2008's class. Last year he gave away a
custom painted racing helmet. Novak is also helping this class by
offering a limited amount of loaner systems to racers that do not yet have a
brushless setup, but would like to still compete in the class. Thanks
Novak! E-mail for more info. The F1 expo race is looking to be
great, with racers from CRC, Corally, and more. A title sponsor has
emerged, and the expo race is now officially called the F1 'ALPHA CUP'.
The winner will be given a certificate to the Skip Barber driving school,
and other awards for the race will be given out. Thanks AW. With
the open wheel sprint cars, open wheel SK cars, and open wheel F1 cars,
there should be plenty of exciting action to watch on the track! Wheel
to wheel and door to door, it doesn't get much better! Entries are
close to 200 now PAID. Several racers have submitted them on-line
without payment yet, so we are not counting those yet. Entry list
should be on-line next week. I know everyone is excited to see that!
12.03.07
NEW CUSTOM AWARD / NEW
'CUP CHAMPION' TO BE FEATURED IN XTREME RC CARS
  The
preliminary sample of our new Snowbird 1st place trophy is
here. It looks
great! They are totally custom designed, and are equipped with logos
and even some Florida flair. These will look great displayed in your
trophy case, or anywhere else! Starting in 2008, we are awarding two
'Snowbird Cup Champions', one in oval and one in road! This coveted
title will be for oval drivers competing in 10.5 and modified, and to road
drivers competing in touring modified and 12th modified. Racers
results in their two classes will be used. Xtreme RC Cars magazine is
going to help promote the 2008 'Snowbird Cup Champion' by featuring them and
their cars in the magazine, giving extra press and recognition to the
winning racer and their sponsors! Thanks a ton Xtreme - this is going
to be great!
11.26.07
ENTRY FORM
TUESDAY / JACK THE GRIPPER TRACTION WAS AWESOME HERE AT MINNREG
 Tomorrow
we begin taking entries for the 'birds. Spread the word! Entry
form will be on-line at 8pm Tuesday. We will be accepting paypal
on-line so you can sign up right over the Internet. If you need
information on how to use paypal,
click here. You will also be able to print an entry and mail
it in. Entry prices are a flat $80.00 this year. This is the
same price as non-handout entries last year! You will have to purchase
your spec motors (for stock/19T) and spec touring rubber tires (for road
rubber classes) at the event, which helps save you upfront money this year
(entries for handout motor classes are always increased to allow handout
motor costs). Handout motors and tires are going to be very fair
and prices will be on-line soon. We are going to try and allow racers
to purchase these on-line ahead of time also. All entries get a free
bottle of Jack the Gripper, and other free stuff this year! This past
weekend, we had a carpet race for on-road and oval at Minnreg in Florida,
and for the first time this year the race used handout Jack the Gripper,
like we are for this year's Snowbirds. Track records and fast laps
were broken in most every class, and the exact same layouts and sizes were
used as the last three races at Minnreg. Our last race there was in
August, so the carpet was dry and this weekend was a great test. Tons
of traction, more than expected, was found by racers. We even had some
roll-overs. So the rumors of lack of traction with Gripper hopefully
will be gone and we are going to have a great race and great race track this
year at the Snowbirds! Here are the times from this weekend's
road
and
oval,
along with the last two races there, which allowed all traction:
road
and
oval,
road
and
oval. You can see the lap
times were the same or even better in some classes.
11.19.07
SNOWBIRD
CLASSES ARE UP / HANDOUT TRACTION
The classes for 2008 are now listed,
and a few rules are announced. This year's race will be 'Jack the
Gripper' only for tire traction, and you will get a free bottle with your
entry. We also will be crowning the 'Snowbird Cup Champion' starting
this year, where a racers overall results from two classes are combined.
This will be between 10.5 and 4-cell Modified in oval, and 12th Modified and
Touring Modified in road. We also will have an exciting expo race for
the SK open wheel cars and F1 Indy cars also, to add to the show.
There are a few other changes to the class lineup, and you can see all
the classes here. Entry goes on-line
next Tuesday at 8pm Eastern. You will be able to pay on-line and
register on-line.
11.12.07
SPEC HANDOUT
MOTORS ANNOUNCED / NEW WAY TO PAY / MONSTER RC CALENDAR TO ALL RACERS
  The motors for the 27T and 19T hand out
classes are announced. For oval and road stock classes, the CO27.
For road 19 turn, the Komodo Dragon Hemi. For oval 19 turn, the Ultrabird. You must purchase the spec handout motor from us for the
event. New for 2008, we will allow you to purchase your handout spec
motor at registration/check-in. This allows us to set the initial
entry fee lower and spare some early expense with your race entries, rather
than having a higher stock entry and 19 turn entry which in the past
included the price of the motor. Prices will be announced before
event. Watch our site as we are working on allowing you to purchase
ahead of time via paypal. Classes will be announced next week.
New for 2008, all racers will be receiving a FREE 2008 RC Racing wall
calendar from Monster RC
USA. We sponsored the month of February and Miss Snowbird
Jessica Barton is the girl of the month.
11.05.07
SNOWBIRD SPEED
WEEK SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
The complete
race schedule with news and notes is now
on-line. New for 2008: We are going to have three resorts, one
after each round. This should make the racing better and provide
closer competition, while keeping things equal. We are bringing back
'Bump N Run' Saturday and are planning our 1st annual Snowbird Tiki Party
Saturday night poolside, hosted by the Radisson. A great way to end
the last qualifier and B-main bumps on Saturday. More info on all of this
on the schedule page. Last year we had the most positive response to
date with the schedule, and even though we debated on flip-flopping the road
and oval program, we decided to keep things almost exactly the same for
2008. With the new venue, there will be enough change to the race this
year and we want to keep things familiar to prior years. Also new is
our sponsor page with logos and links.
Thanks to all our sponsors for supporting the 14th annual Snowbirds.
Without their support, we could not put this race on. See them all
here in 2008 with their products and drivers!
10.29.07
NEW
HOTEL NEWS: IN-ROOM RACE BROADCAST / FREE INTERNET /
TROPICAL DAYS and NIGHTS
  So
far, we have had a lot of Snowbird hotel news for the upcoming 2008
race. But after the last seven years on I-Drive, and many unpleasant
experiences for racers and families, it is important to share news on our
new race hotel and get everyone excited about their vacation here in
Florida. You deserve a great race experience! This past week, I took a trip to the hotel and
had a great meeting. They showed me their TV
system and we developed a way to setup our live broadcast in the rooms and
throughout the hotel. For the racers that want to work in their rooms,
you can now tune into your TV and watch and hear the racing action.
This is one the great
experiences of the 'birds, being setup in the comforts of your hotel room
with friends and family. I also confirmed the
hotel has free wireless internet throughout the hotel. This is
awesome. Some hotels charge crazy amounts, so we are pleased the
Radisson offers you this for free. Now you can chill by the pool, bar,
restaurant, lobby or your room and surf the net!
Plus they have a business center with computers you can use. And
luckily I was there at night and saw their awesome tropical setting they
have. I was blown away how cool this was. You can see the video
here. Some new news hopefully will be coming up soon about
live music going on at the race during Snowbird Speed Week. And
one last piece of news is the hotel does allow pets. Call hotel for
details. This might save kennel charges for some of you! We will
be going more into race classes and the race schedule in the next few weeks.
The race is just three months away! Make those reservations for the
hotel. Last I heard was over half our block was gone and going fast.
Tue-Wed is practice, and Thu-Sun is racing.
10.22.07
NEW SITE LAUNCHED THIS WEEK
In keeping up with tradition, we launched a new race site for
the upcoming 2008 Snowbird Nationals. The countdown is on, and before
