Where are all you guys running 1/18th scale? I know there is no incentivie to register early this year without t-shirts but if you can get in registrations early then we can better plan for the free food.

Russ,
I sure would like to pre register, but with my extremely busy schedule, I will probably need to make my decision the week of the event. Believe me; I know as a promoter it's frustrating when you don't have allot of pre entries. As far as I can see right now my schedule is clear for that day, but it changes all the time with the business, family, hobbies, and I'm back in school furthering my education. I sure hope I can make it.

Psycho,
Completely understand. I just want to send out polite reminders in case people forgot. I am planning food for 60 people and if we get more then the argument is clear - more should have pre-registered.
Im hoping to get a group of Jerzey boys to come down to the event....
working out our schedules now....
Looking forward to seeing you again. We missed you last year.
If you are finding a hotel I would stick to Arundel Mills Mall hotels and steer clear of the Royal Inn near Ft. Meade. You boys from NJ are tough but I want you to make it to the event and not get caught in drug dealer crossfire.
It is clear that most people are now running 70T, and this debate is not new.
So, as a late game change I will say that the 70T motor (with any PCB) is the spec for stock. I will update the reg form and website but please spread the word.
70T for MiniZ stock.
If you don't have a 70T then maybe we can work something out during the race. It is all about the fun and charity so I don't want to worry too much about the rules. Besides, it will be obvious if someone has a sleeper in the STK class.
Another little prize came in. An autographed bobble head of David Despain. PLEASE someone tell me that you know who he is. I asked around some people here and sadly they did not know who he is. A cool little item.
A plus side is that some of them know of the STIG.
Another plus, the autographed Michael Schumacher print is HUGE. I think is is 47"x32"

Some of you may be wanting more detials for the event. Here is a quick installment with more to follow:
The event is handicap accessible.
Tables and chairs will be provided along with power. However, please bring a pit towel.
The hotels I suggest are in the order of cost and location:
Courtyard by Marriott Fort Meade at National Business Park (good location and cost)
Hilton Garden Inn Arundel Mills/Baltimore (good location and cost)
Aloft Arundel Mills (good location and cost)
Element Arundel Mills (good location but costs more)
Microtel Inn & Suites BWI Airport (cheaper but not as close)
If for some strange reason all of these are booked or too expensive you can find your brand of choice at the BWI Airport. Most of those will still be affordable and at a managable distance to the race.
The race is just around the corner but to keep you motivated to come here is a list of this year’s ALS Charity Race Premium prizes:
-Autographed mini-helmet from Mario Andretti
-Autographed 1/18 scale diecast model (of the car) from Danica Patrick
-Autographed 8x10 print from Mark Martin
-Autographed hockey puck from Nicklas Backstrom
-Autographed mini-helmet from Demetrius Williams (Ravens)
-Autographed limited edition 28x36” print from Michael Schumacher/Keith Murray (artist)
-Autographed print from Nelson Piquet/Andrew Kitson (artist)
-Autographed limited edition print from Lewis Hamilton/Andrew Kitson (artist)
-Kyosho TF-5 1/10th sedan RTR
-Kyosho MiniZ Boat RTR
-Grab Bag – Comprised of multiple prizes to select from (autographed and RC related)
Many more are coming in and totaling more than $3000 worth in prizes!!
This year there is a twist. This year you can choose which prize you want to try and win. We will put your ticket in a bucket for the item of your choice, potentially increasing your odds of winning the item!
Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. As before 100% goes to the ALS Association, helping the people and their families living with the diagnosis and supporting research to find a
cure.
If you are a pre-registered driver you already have one Premium prize ticket to play!!
Will be available at the event. Pay by cash or check; make checks out to ALS Association.
Aside from this there is a great list of Driver's Only prizes that each driver will be entered in to win. I want to have everyone walk away with something, it might not be a RTR but at least you should get a keychain.
Back from the dark shadows of the global economy a light emerges...
Just a quick note that we are begining the planning for this year's event. I know the economy will be turned around by October so I expect the usual list of insane prizes (some have already arrived like the gearshift trophies).
Venue may change but track will remain huge (unless you are a weak 1/18th scale driver).
MiniZ remains strong but I know with RaceHaus closing that the MRL (1/18th) may have hit a bump in the road. However with Mimi's and Frederick I hope that we will continue to get a great turnout for all classes.
Hope to see ya then
