We are pretty chill as a club. Just come race and have fun. I know Rich and the rest of the board try very hard to accomodate everyone.

MX Suburbs or Red BK Bars and MX Scrubs or silver and Red Taper pins .

A lot of guys are running calibers for 1/8. For 2wd, It's a hard pack sugared track for 1/10th, so whatever blue groove tire you like I guess.

the 1/8 scale track is sand. i have run everything from city blocks to calibers pretty much grab your favorate tire in soft. the track is run wet. tire choice will only make a differance in the long mains after the track dries out. i would go with what scott said.

Sorry all I have not been keeping up on here!! Thanks Scott for answering some questions that have been asked!! If any of you outta towners are coming for sure we can make accommodations for you to be in the shade. Less stuff you have to lug cross country! Pm me and I can keep a running count and as we get closer I will contact you and confirm that your still attending. Hope to see everyone soon!!

I just wanted to pipe on here real quick to say thanks for the effort being put forth. Currently I'm aware of at least 6-9 people from the Tucson area making the trip over. Most of those will be running at least 2 classes. I will try to organize everyone to get onto rc sign-ups asap!

Punchy--You know who I'm bringing with me..Also I've got commits from Gaynor and HIcks from Losi
