cornerspeed- It is not a matter of keeping your mouth shut, it is a matter of realizing that this is a big event, held by HITEC, with the help of Hobby People, and with all the work that goes into it, then someone has to complain about the track!!!!!

I myself race in LA and Orange County!! With all the tracks out here, and I have seen many, and I have raced on many outdoor tracks that no matter how they blow off or sweep the track off, it will get dirty......... Just a part of Mother Nature!!!

All you see is that I'm complaining. Ok. So now can give input to see if things could get better, or would everyone consider it complaining. All I asked for was a cleaner track surface. If it can't be done, then so be it. You just don't understand my piont. You have to twist it all around.

Cornerspeed take an air compressor or even a paint brush that helps to take off the extra dust we all get on our r/c rides.Good Luck at the races!

Cornerspeed- Yes, I did feel bad about your statement becuase like I said, I spend hours before each years race with a hose washing off the entire parking lot and scrubbing all the oil patches so there will be as much traction as possible and the dust will be kept to a minimum. It's not all that fun and to have someone complain that it is the dirtiest track they ever raced on did upset me a little.

I'm over it now so I think we need to drop this discussion. That goes for all of you.

See you at the race!

Mike.

It's typically a little larger than the normal Hobby People tracks.

Thank you.

There is parking in all the lots around us as well as Paine st. that runs beside us. The lot that is directly beside us is reserved for motorhomes and trailers as well as overflow piiting area.

It should not be an issue!

hi, mike

thank you for the reply.

I have one more newbie question.

do i need to leave stickers on the stock motor to pass the tech?

Thank you so much.

ps: Since I haven't received a confirmation kit, I assume that I'll need to just go there and race, right?
