Wow Ken...tell us how ya really feel!

I think that everyone is just very gun shy (with good reason) when it comes to the weather.

I would hate to see the mains get washed out when we could have prevented it!

Been rebuilding and setting up my car to get ready for tomorrow. It's funny how much of this I can forget in one year.... These freakn 1/8th scales really are cool cars. Every last mm on the setup board has been counted and I'm good to go. See you guys tomorrow.

By the way Ken, I hear that there is another on road regular who has his 1/8th off road car ready to set on the track and join you and Greg on the dirt.

I hope to be getting out there sometime soon as well.

What case? I have 2 now. I bought one on ebay as a spare.

It's not going to rain. I talked to the rc god. She promised.

Weather was very nice today. A little windy in the morning, but all of the pop ups lived through it.

Thanks to everyone for coming. The new electric class was pretty cool to watch. I could swear that a couple of them were going down that straight as fast as the two speed nitro cars!!

Several new guys made a pretty good road trip out of it, as well as our usual die hard travelers, and I hope to see you guys again.

R.C. Pro Series is next at Evolution...be there!!

It was great to be racing at Evolution for the 3rd year!

It's amazing how much the wind can have an effect on your car. When I tried to run the Protoform Shadow to take advantage of the high down force it actually made the car looser because of the crosswind slamming up against the tall side dams. I'm guessing in a low wind, low traction condition the body would do better. But with those winds I had to run my R10 and just suffer with less traction but better overall control.

Everyone did a great job today driving respectfully while on the track! Of course this is the norm for our track and racers. Thanks to all those that came out and make Evolution the track it is today!

It was good to meet all the new racers who make the long drive! Next club race I'll definitely be running my mod sedan.

Thanks SMAC for coming thru and putting the MUGEN on top. After seeing the xrays sweep the B-main I was hoping we as team MUGEN would do the same in the A-main. jusss jokin!

RC PRO SERIES next! BE THERE or be slow!

evo out...

Good Quick program today guys, good job.... Had a blast as usual!!

The Mod EP sedan did look like a good time. The thought of going through alot less tires and soley focusing on setup os a plus any way you look at it. I think a rubber tire EU 008 might be the next XRAY in my collection. I just can't stand the thought of my pretty little US 008 being subjected to the outside elements of dirt, dust and all of the other wonderful stuff that racing on carpet does not have.

Hopefully the guys from Columbia continue to show up and add to the crowd.

SEDAN IS TAKING OVER

Yeah it would be nice to have a track to run at every or everyother weekend.

The closest I know is fastlane in Kansas City and I do not know if they are racing this coming weekend.
