Dune... Your right the track is very nice; I usually do the GLC every year. I seen part of the indoor track a while back and it seems pretty nice also. The problem that I would run in to is getting away with going to Toledo twice in one year...so if I can't say right now.

Do you want me to add yours and D Berrys name to the MRL list ..

3dee, you can put me down as a MAYBE! If I don't make it, it's not from lack of desire to attend.

Hey Dave, can you post some of the basic class descriptions? You know, just some motor/battery requirements for this class or that...
Any word on the "super-stock" 1/18 4wd class?

Hey James, just wanted to clear things up. This event is ALL Hobby-Stop west! Other than incouraging Pat (and helper Dave) to put the event on, I am not really involved. I will help in any way i can, but don't want to give anyone the Idea that I am trying to take any credit for it.
