Driver list is posted. Please make sure you're in the right class. We'll likely add another 13.5 class.

If a lot of racers show up on Saturday, we'll go into a controlled format.

I think you need to bring one of every part for each chassis that Carlos is running.

For those of you also racing the Reedy Race... Speedtech will have Sweep Evo-R Reedy Spec Tires available on race day. I will be reserving tires starting early next week. I'll provide more details on how to reserve later. Thanks.

Thanks to Fred Medel and the Tamiya volunteers for all the extra work to prep the track, set up the timing loop and keep the generators running all day. It was fun and the grip was great.

Thank you to the tamiya guys for prepping the track. By far my most enjoyable time at Tamiya raceway.

Is the Tamiya track using the Mylaps RC3 or RC4 decoder?

There's a few coming from out of state, flying in for this Saturday's race (prep for Reedy), what are our options for table, chair, cover etc. I really don't want to go buy these items?

Will there be practice allowed after racing is over? If yes, till how late?

The Tamiya guys will have to answer about practice after the race. The day is pretty long as is but there is usually enough time after the last race to run 1-2 packs.

Make sure you contact Speedtech R/C for Sweep tires. They will bring them to the track for you.
