In April I bought my son his first PW and had to modify it to get it running. Now I am hooked. I have gone as far as not only starting a local racing league dubbed Neosho Little League Racers. I have spoken to a local church that is going to let us use their 2 Acer lot to build a racing coarse, we will be recruiting during our city celebration and hope to hold our first races the second week in July!
Our plan for races consists of Heats between children and as we discover which ones are better racers we will group them together to create a more competitive environment and allow other kids the chance to compete in the Grand Finals.
A point system will be used:
1st 50pts
2nd 40 pts
3rd 30pts etc.
I have 6 PW that are ready to go and can either be loaned out to kids who don't have a car or their batteries used in the event on someone's battery dying.
I am very adamant about not everyone getting a participation trophy, but would like to have sub categories' for children who were "Best Sportsman", "Most Improved" etc. If you have ideas in this area please let me know.
We will have a 1st aid station ready in case of accidents
I have been kicking around the idea of seeing if local businesses wanted to sponsor the cars for the season and have their logos and decals placed on the cars (still working on this)
Where you guys come in:
I have an idea of what I want the coarse to look like, but am having trouble with size. I would like for it to be large enough for the cars to make it around 4 times, but not so large that we have to worry about battery life for multiple races. The track would be about 7-10" wide to allow for easy passing and the shape would be a kidney bean. My problem is.... How wide and Long should the track be? This info is important so that I can make sure of how many tires I need to line this bad boy and how long it might take to build.
Any Feedback or suggestions would be welcome! You can also visit our website at www.nllr.us let me know what you think!
