Man, I hope we do not get rain. I was hoping to be racing dirt Friday, and asphalt on Saturday/Sunday.
Kenny and I are in, we'll be leaving from the PLEX at 9AM Saturday.

Great first day of practice ..... some very fast racers and 1/8 scale is down in the 13's already .... WOO HOO that is fast. Colorado racers are pretty well represented with Rossi and myself in 1/8 scale, Burket and Stout in 1/10 and I'm playing with the IGT class.

I may make a run with the pan car along with the 1/10 electric touring cars, Thanks for the offer ..... will make the decision in the morning.

Looks like a very nice turn out of racers, if you did not go, your missing out.

WE'll see how qualifications go on Saturday. Great show so far!!!

Default Thank You

Thank You
For a great race weekend.
Looks like everyone had fun even with some sour news on shorter mains.
Everyone got their racing in and the weather held for the afternoon.
Good JOB.

Thanks to everyone that helped me out...

Anthony, Ken, Nate, Josh, Ski, Andy and anyone else I forgot....
Had a great time.

Guy's I had a great time!!

I'll have to work on our racers here and see if we can get the IGT class up and running. I've got to do some work on the DM-1 and see about making it down for the HOA race in July.

Thanks for the spare parts, starter box and the SCHOOLING!!!

I may have my next electric ride ready for a return trip as well.

Well, even with my injured leg I had a good time this weekend! Would have liked to see more electric cars but it was still fun. A loose carb on Saturday and a bad servo on Sunday pretty much killed any chances of a great weekend for Kenny but I think we figured out quite a bit for next time.

Almost pitted Brian Hier to the win in GT except for a loose wheel nut.

Congrats to the winners, Kristl, Jones and Soltau and even Wernimont for having just enough "fuel" to make it to the end of the eight minute main.

Thanks to Z, Duck' and anyone else who helped for their efforts in putting on a fun event!

I had a great time racing in Lincoln this weekend. If only I could keep my CVDs together.

Maybe we might get better weather next time.

I'd like to thank everyone who helped out, the people who organized the event and Weber Motorsports for the rides.

Nice job by all the guys with MRO. Awesome track prep. Great race program.
Z good call on the short practice and straight to main. After we left, we hit rain within 20 minutes.

I would like to thank Byron's Fuel for all they did with the free-bees! Not to mention the Contingency program. Way to support the hobby.

Absolutely wanting to thank Byrons for all the door prizes and the contingency prizes as well.

I got the wheel nut situation under control now..
Ordered new serrated wheel nutz.


Good Job all!
Thank you all!

You know I did not realize the time change until, you made the comment on drivers stand. I backed off on the timing just to keep from heating the motor up. I've asked Mr. Darkside about a stand off change to fit a BIGGER battery in the car.

Anytime Andy. The team hauler always has room!

Thanks to Z and MRO for putting the Fireball Classic together. I had a fun time, and I enjoy the opportunity to drive on asphalt.
