Its better than no entries!!

Why was the desision made to only run three quals?

kyle - the decision was based on time frame. last year we just got done too late. perhaps if the car count is down, we can talk the powers that be into running another one sunday morning.

I'd toss in the increasing chance of afternoon rain for Sunday, as a great reason to be done early.

Im down!!

Oh yeah, tyler, i'd paint you a body but i bent the crap outta my needle, and had to finish my body with a ghetto-sanded needle that felt like an on/off switch.

If i can get a new needle, and somebody provides the body/mask, id be happy to paint it.

later-

POW......take that nitro bitches......oh, wait, i'm running nitro too. never mind

ok, so far i have adam, art, paul, jimmy and myself under my tents. bring tent weights if you have them.

if anyone has a t.v they can bring to the race.......preferably around 20 to 30 inches, we will be able to watch the nascar race and bronco game in the fb/fx lounge. (outdoor entertainment). jimmy is gonna bring a 13 incher as a back up but it seems a wast to have satelite tv, and no tv to watch it on while we race.

I'd give mod a try if i had another car and motor.

I'm sure someone has a flat panel that wouldn't be missed for a few days from the house????

I've got a LCD projector I use for movies, is 104" big enough???

Um actually the gas cars were faster lap per lap, the fastest lap for the gas was 16.4 John stout - the fastest for the electric was 17.2 yours truely.. The fastest 5 min run was a 10.5 car 18 laps.

Although I will assure you that this will not be the case this weekend the super touring cars are lighter and faster, and much more nimble..

There are currently 5 sign ups for the super tourning class.. This is only the westy store I gues there are some sign ups up at the ft collins store so we will see..

Lights would be great, there is another gentleman trying to get some big lights to assist with our night runs. We'll be running the pinks portion of the event at midnight.. j/k

I (and Art) have 8 500-watt halogen lights sitting at MHOR right now. I can possibly go pick them up Friday afternoon if there is enough interest in having them. 6 of the lights are on towers, 2 are stand-alone. Let whoever else is looking for lights know that the Friday Night Lights Tower Lights are available (especially if they would be willing to pick them up on Friday )

I will hold the pinks. I have no car to drive and I can't run very fast on one foot and a crutch.
