Round 4 - FASTCATS Entry Form Coming Soon..


Race Schedule And New Information - Aug 22, 2009

Dear Racers,

The Gate, CRC Raceway, The Track, and Fastcats are the proud hosts of the second annual 2009-2010 Northeast Grand Slam. The first year of the Grand Slam was a success, and it was our pleasure bringing these events to you. We continue to believe that by supporting local facilities with this series, the tracks that have become a staple in the region will stand a better chance of survival. There remains a strong field of talent in this part of the country, and the Northeast Grand Slam will provide us with a handful of regional venues to compete with each other in the classes that have gained the most regional interest.

Here is the youtube link to the 2008-2009 year in review. Thanks Mike Hanulec!

Announced Changes To This Years Program:

SIx Classes Offered:
• 17.5 & 10.5 1/12 - ROAR Approved 1S (3.7V) LiPo Only *Updated
• 17.5 & 10.5 Foam Sedan - ROAR Approved 2S (7.4V) LiPo Only *Updated
• 17.5 & 13.5 Rubber Sedan - ROAR Approved 2S (7.4V) LiPo Only *Updated

All motors and batteries must be ROAR approved. See Complete RULES

Class Restriction:
Updated 9/09 If you have a Top 5 finish in any stock class in the last 5 years at the Carpet Nats, Indoor Champs, Snowbirds, IIC, or Novak Race, you may not race stock in any Grand Slam class. Further, the Grand Slam has the right to deny highly-skilled racers entry in the stock classes. For example, Ralph Burch may not have raced stock in the last 5 years, but would not be permitted to race in our stock classes. Top 5 finishes in “Amateur”, “Sportsman”, and “Masters” classes do not apply. Some additional exceptions may be made when pertaining to low class turnouts at major events.

Points:
There will no longer be 5 bonus points for participation in all four events.

Equipment:
Updated 9/09 No prototype equipment may be run in any stock class. All equipment must be available for purchase 2 weeks prior to the event. For example, to be legal for the Oct. 30th Halloween Classic, items must be available on Oct 16th.

Raceway Choice:
As with last year, each track will have the option of hosting a "Raceway Choice" class.* Many tracks have a particular class that is a favorite of the local racers - Vintage T/A, Formula 1, WorldGT, etc.* This class will use the established class rules of that local facility, and will be disclosed upon distribution of their particular race flyer.

We understand that many racers still would like the opportunity to attend at least one of the National events, so the series will not interfere with any of those existing races.

The final race in Canada was moved to the end of the schedule to allow all racers ample time to secure their passports. This process has been streamlined, and now takes just 4-6 weeks, so please plan ahead. For the racers that live in New York or Michigan you are allowed to upgrade your drivers licence to an EDL, Enhanced Drivers Licence, so you do not need a passport. More details to come.
