CHECK OUT WHAT I HAVE FOR SALE ON THE FOR SALE SIGHT

[Darkseid]

It was a good day out there on Sunday. Once again, we got done quickly and everything ran smoothly....for the most part!

Hopefully the heat and wind will take it easy on us next time out. If not......well, we'll still be out there!

So, we'll see you guys out there next time.

[Darkseid]

Today was our biggest turn out yet this season.....and it was also the hottest day of racing all season! A strange combination indeed.

I'd like to thank all who came out and raced with us, all who help to put up and take down the track.

Remember guys....bring your friends. Just about any kit you have, we'll find a class for you to run in. All you got to do is come out.

I'd like to remind the guys out there, that out in Overland park, with so many people racing, theres almost nothing as useful as an extra set of crystals! I know......I know.....its hard to look at a new body, or new shiny aluminum part, or whatever....and pass on those for a extra set of crystals, but it something you'll thank yourself for later.

The weather is looking reasonably good for Sunday guys. So come on out and race with us. Remember, bring some shade if you have it. You can find the "EZ-Ups" style tents at really good prices now, and you can find them just about everywhere. I saw my local ALDI's selling one for only $69.99 the other day! These things used to start at $100 and go up from there. So nows a really good time to get one if you don't have one already.

See you guys tomorrow...

Great Day of Racing!!! Our biggest turnout yet....35 racers!! Couldn't have been much better weather. We were able to run 3 qualifiers and mains by 4pm! That was pretty good....and the stand cooperated. Thanks to all that came out, and thanks to all that helped out......See you all at the trophy race in 2 weeks!

[Phatkat]

Hey Darkseid, Civic; that entry fee for the team races, is that $15 per person or $15 per two-person team?
