I heard it might be a little bit larger this year. Where the picture was taken is the RD tower and there was a lot more space for a track there. I'm guessing about 30 ft.

It's a high traction dirt with a little animal DOOO for texture. it was a great surface last year, we only had to water at night and it held up all day.

Yes, it's an indoor horse arena, so if you have an indoor arena (or probably any arena where they do horse shows) at your local fairgrounds, it's probably the same stuff.

Soft compound tired were super dialed! No wear at all either.

Yes, we have 2 coming from Walla Walla, probably 2 from Spokane, I originally added it to the signup form because I was told some guys from the coast wanted to race them. I would guess you'll have about 6 - 10, including yourself.

Bring it!!!!! It's gonna be a blast, Myself and Shane will be running them.

I can't wait, I'll have my New 8ight for this race too. Also want to race the ol' ST-R one more time this year, add the usual monster truck and 4MOD I always run. Then through in 1/5 scale baja 5b's.........Hmmmmm 5 classes, I'm going to be bussy, What the heck, I have all winter to rest

10 5b's on the track at the same time is going to be a sight to behold. And they are all painted EXACTLY the same Hope you guys have Big #'s we can put on them, LOL.

Just to clairify, do the 5b's get to run for an hour too?

I'm hoping it's alright, cuz our engines are piped, with shaved heads, running 110 octane race fuel and they flat out RIPPPPPPPPP!

I'd say mod them any way you want, if you go to crazy they will just be hard to drive. It is still a 2wd buggy.

But that call is up to RCCCS or the race director.

Paved all the way.

The weather might be a little cooler but the white stuff doesn't show until November.
