If you guys ever put on a big race, I might be able to get some 1/8 nitros to come your way.

Thanks voodeaux. Info rules pics of the track and some
of the cars are on the website rcdirtseries.com.
Yes there are plans for a series and several big
races next year. The rest of this year will be some
one day events and plenty of practice time. Please

That's a good looking track. How wide are the lanes? The only rules issue I may have, my Onstat B3 body is not on the list, and I know my outlaw spoiler sideboards are a bit large. Just a little. None of us have the amb transponders, but if we make a trip or two to Mississippi, and to you guys, we can justify the cost of getting one.

This is our little track. 160' run line, 15' wide turns, 12' wide straights.

About 200-210 run line. 12.5' straights and 15 ' turn widths.
Slight banking on both turns. The more we work pack and water
it the smoother it gets. Look forward to seeing you guys.

Dang gulf coast weather.

Our big race was supposed to be July. Now it's scheduled for the 24th, and that's not looking good. Last time I raced was June.
