Do you know what the rules are for the rubber tires? do I have to use HPI rubber tires for vintage? can I use some other brand slicks?

also what is that rubber compound you put on before you race. is that from a hobby shop?

I just bought a 1966 mustang body specifically for the vintage class.

oh do I have to register before the aug 11th to get a free body? if so who do I send the registration to?

please let em know..
Yes my friend, In the rubber classes "Only Hpi/HB rubber tires will be used for the 2008 Challenge". As for traction compound I've been using pargon, aug 11th is the deadline for Free bodies.

I think you can start practice around 8:30am. Electric car shouldn't be any problem. Although I have heard some Nitro people start to crank them up as early as 8:00am

Contact Sandra, perhaps they can except PayPal. I was going to ask this as well. I want a free body since I won't be there this weekend.

you still have plenty of time to register. This HPI might be bigger than the one in Jersey, so I would mail your entry ASAP. Todd and Andy said you have until the 11th to get your entry in so that you can get your "free body". Remember "Chance favors the prepared mind!" so don't wait.
