Default wheels/tires

Apologies to the "regulars" at the track for letting out the news of the secret sauce... AKA Enduros in the Soft compound. Calibers in the M3 compound. AKA I-Beams in Soft compound.

AKA Enduros... that is what I'm running with my Ofna Hyper 10SC. And that is what I'll run in the SC8/Slayer class. I have a modified electric SC8 (short chassis, resulting in same dimensions as the Slayers) with SC8 wheels and AKA Enduro's.

Should be some great racing...

speaking of lights.. if anyone has the following it would help greatly so we can continue racing past sundown if need be. Let me know if you can bring it with you since we have no lighting at the track.

I had a request for 8 minute mains..

I dont really see any issues so far concerning time as from what we have so far as sign uups we should get through the day pretty good.


So unless anyone doesnt like the idea of 8 minute mains please let me know.

Longer runs makes for longer charge times. Right now I would say 6 min also but that might change on race day.

We're going to be trying to get the track in decent shape for the final series race as we go and then smooth it out again where needed for the Joe dirt and then smooth it out again for the Shootout.

Brian and I are going to do it the quick way that works great and its quicker that the viberating packer. We jus need at least three guys either tilling or raking the rough areas that we till a little clay into to firm it up for better where, and then Brian rolls the kabota back and forth over the raked out areas to pack and blade out smooth. This simple process work and holds up nice. we can do this before the Last series race, the Joe Dirt and the SC Shootout.

We dont have the time or man power to change the track between race weekends, it takes some planning, time and man power and we're sorry we just cant get into it.

We'll be using the Wednesdays before each race to do this process, so those Wednesdays are work days, but if the work gets done in time, maybe some play laps could be had if you bring an rc with.
Any help on these Wednesdays from 2pm to dark would totaly awesome.
Someone to do some weed wacking would also be great on those days.

Should be some fun times a pretty decent surface that gets better every time we do this process with clay mixing into the top couple inches of native dirt.
