Bus--Yes there will be practice when the facility opens, Also on a side note the qualifiers for off-road classes will be 6 minutes. The A mains for the
10.5/19t classes will be 15 minutes. All other mains on the off-road will be 6 minutes as well. Any other questions please feel free to ask.

Sean--Last time I ran was double pinks..

I am looking forward to this race. I haven't raced a big electric race sinse my touring car days about 5 years ago.
I was hoping to run 4wd, but I just figured out that my lipo saddle pack has gone to the big lipo graveyard so I don't think I will have a new one in time

Rich,

So if I run 2wd offroad stock, that class will have qualifiers and mains of 6 minutes long? I hope so cuz I don't think my 4600's will last 15 minutes! I'm assuming that those 15 min mains are reserved for lipo users.

Forgive me if I seem naive. This will be my first race that's not a club race.

Torch--Yes the longer mains are for the 10.5/19t class, I have myself made over 15 minutes of run time running a 3200 lipo at the Cactus A main. So your 4600 could go the distance if you wanted. But yes all other mains will be 6 minutes. It seems most of the people that are running the 19t classes have upped the ante by running the lipo packs. I feel this allows for more of an
opportunity in the races for better racing to occur. You should be fine in stock w/the type of batteries you are running.

Bus--Cool, I'm hoping for some nose to tail racing in those classes.
