I was gonna ask you the same thing, I wont be down there until Friday night. I'm coming down with the wife so I'll probably just bring the ez up a table and some chairs. When we were down there last year there was plenty of power outlets, if I make it before you I'll save you a spot and do likewise if you beat me down there. Better brush up on your nitro pit skills I might be needing them.

Guys if any of you are considering heading down to this race I strongly suggest you go. This is probably the best race that I have been to, huge turnout's with a killer 1/8th scale designed track that stayed smooth the entire race. I think they had a little over 250 entries with several of the big names there, Futaba and O.S. along with some others donated some awesome prizes for both the raffle and the top 3 in every class. I will definitely be heading back.

Yes I was talking about the one next year. I beleive Ben finished either 3rd or 4th, he was actually beating Matt Gotsch in a qualifier and his buggy looked really hooked up but he tangled up with some traffic. I ended up finishing 4th in expert arena truck I was in 3rd until I bobbled in the last corner before the loop which let 4th place get around me. It was still a good finish considering I was hacked into 11th after the first lap mayhem of the race. All in all I will definitely head down again, I won enough in prizes to offset the cost of the motel and some of my fuel so it was definitely worth it, not to mention the dirtburners club really put's on a great race with an awesome track.
