Thanks to everyone who came out and raced this weekend. It was a hot one but, we had good racing.

Thanks to Tom S for the ice cream. That was a nice way to end a hot day.

LOL!! That's some funny stuff, I don't care who you are!!!

From my side of things, I was a LOT like the fat girl at the prom; just glad to be there!!!

You guys work your butts off and I know everyone sure appreciates it! Z, BJ and the Duck are a super good team that gets a LOT of results by worrking hard! I've been there, done that and now am just plain too old and grumpy to put the amount of pure and simple HARD WORK that you guys do....

Lots and lots of fun in the pits - Billy & John should be on their own TV show - funny guys and lots of silliness. I appreciate their hospitality allowing me to share pits and generator with them! PLUS, the numerous trips through 'Billy's Alignment Shop' really helped my car - guess I need to get some 'blocks' and a camber gauge that reads in smaller increments than 'big numbers'!!!

I really appreciated OVs help pitting my IGT; wish I'd had a 'non defective' receiver pack and got to run a bit more but none the less it was fun trading pits!

It was great meeting Mark W from CO - and it's nice to see someone else who approaches this from the fun factor side of things and gets as much FUN out of it as he can!

I met a lot of new people this weekend and will certainly enjoy making a return trip SOON!

Chris, nice to meet you as well. Yes the fun factor was over the top all weekend long. I did not get the results I wanted, but time on the engine was good, and I now have a good car to take to Time Zone ..........

Ken & Mark - your cars looked great all weekend. I know the Serpent has something in it, and Billy will find it ....... He is now really motivated

Jon, nice drive ..... pull the triger and get the Serpent.

Tom S. - thanks for the ice cream, it hit the spot.

Finally - Got to thank my pit guy, for making the trip, hanging out in the heat and making the trip much more enjoyable ........

Mark

Fun weekend indeed!

Great run Z and Kenny in the GT! and to Jim and Brandon too. Fun battle to watch! Sorry 8th scale guys, I was too busy stripping down my new car owners ride I missed the entire race.

GTe was alot fun before I got "timskied"!! After that it was just plain fun watchin you and "the big K" battle.

Good to see Chris again.. it had been too long.

Thanks to Tom for the ice cream!! mmmmm good!

The shenanigans in the pits were definitely off the hook and worth the price of admission! more to follow I'm sure.

Finally, thanks to Z, BJ, and Duck for all the work involved in keeping the place in top shape and running the show. Really looking forward to the August race. If I can find a new sponsor in time that is!!

-Jon

Rumor has it that in Electric touring we will be running 17.5T for the Roar regional in a few weeks. If so could someone verify that? Also what battery voltage for tech.

I know it seems like a stupid question but i was in cleveland and they went to 8.40 max some use 8.44 and other still use 8.50 for this roar event what will it be. Thanks in advance.

And a speical thanks to MRO for a great summer so far!

I tried to give Jim 30 mins but could not. Still getting used to 30min mains! Wow thats a long time!

Also thanks the Billy and Tony for getting my motor working good with a leaking front bearing! Its fixed by the way!

Also thanks to the HOA Series and MRO for a great summer so far!

Per the ROAR rulebook, max voltage allowed is 8.40.

In my opinion, if it is only the regulars that show up, run 13.5 like normal.
