Has anybody received any reply from Tamiya after registration? I have yet to receive any email confirmation on my entry.

I can't wait for the 3 weeks to go by....

We have a deal at the Holiday Inn Express across the street from us, $75/night.
HERE, click on "Hotel Contact Info" below the address and use that phone number and ask for the HobbyPLEX rate. You can also go to Google maps and put in our address, 10020 Scott Circle, Omaha, NE 68122-3053 and find nearby hotels for some less expensive places within about 5 miles at the West Dodge Road & I-680 intersection.

I'm gonna run rubber 104. I will also be focusing lasers on the tires before every heat to assure they are up to temp

Hey guys,
This will be my first trip to the HobbyPlex. I'm struggling to find any details on the track (dimensions, layouts, etc). Is there a link on your site where I can find some useful info?

Looking forward to racing there. I've heard nothing but good things about the facility.

GT2 and mini, here I come!!!

Tamiya 51372 or

Tamiya 51257

Those would be my choices for GT1...Im sure Tim can order them for you! Make sure to also pick up Tamiya 53604 Race Wing set as these all come with hard plastic wings that dont produce much downforce.
