It was lite for the first race but i hope it will pick up
Most were gas car that have never raced before
we had a new class of Trans Am cars that are really cool
hope we can get more to show next time
also could use your help if you come up to run

Ok, I will try and make it up....I know it won't be the 31st becasue I already plans but keep posted and I will try to make the next one. I haven't touched this Mini since last years last race so it may need some tuning and some motor help.  I will let you know when I plan to come up. What time do you start sign up and racing?

The next race will be on Sunday, June 15.
Forgive me on the details, somewhat of a newb, but there should be some TC's, RS's and RC10's on the track, at least enough to have separate classes for elect and nitro. I believe the first turnout also had a few stadium trucks, but I was unable to attend.
Shop opens at 12, Hope to see ya'll there.

Is there a Tamiya Mini Class? That is all I have left to run except my Rock Crawlers. I will try to make the 15th, Mike what kind of help you need? Running races, setup, etc.?

Also what is the counting system? Can we use AMB personal transponders?

Yeah that may be a problem. I will make it when I can, tough to make Church and then Huntsville to race but I will squeeze one in when I can.

I had no idea what you guys in Florence are up to, I don't hardly know anyone yet. Sunday appears to be the preference of the host, HT, and several other locals, I really hate it that it rules out more people coming.
What kind of turnout does Florence have for racing?
I'd really like to see just how many people in North AL would come and race on the right day(s), I have visions of a dedicated track, and separate ones on top of that, i.e. Dirt/Stadium, Road Course, Round Track and a Drag strip, and of course lots of rocks for the climbers. Only problem I have is investing time and money into the challenge of creating such a place and it not being worth it.
Keep the feedback coming about good race days, It's not in stone.

We average anywhere from 35 to 40 racers. Sometimes more at HT

promatchrcr,
To answer you, I asked if there had been any mini's and it was a no, there just hasn't been anyone to show up with one, at least that Greg or I know of.
Counting is done with JLap and as far as transponders, they are AMBrc.

10-4, well I have is a mini now along with some Rock Crawlers. Not sure if there is a reason for me to drive from Bham then. I am very familiar with Jlap that is what used here in Bham and I ran the races here for several years.
