I'm in. Maybe new name for our team "Team First Losers"

Third time will be the charm! We will keep Scooby far away from the assembly process

I've got three people confirmed and a couple others pending. Looks like a VA team is coming to town

Been waiting for this thread, BackBreaker Racing will be in the house for sure! We will either have two teams, or one large team. Still have offers out to some drivers to see if they want to roll with us, or we have room to add a driver or two. I need some details on the new concourse, I have a killer idea for this year.

More judges, scoring based on realism (both custom and actual liveries, paint wins over stickers, more laps to more positions (not just top 3); I think we'll see a showdown between you, Larcher and Bean again, but the Beavers aren't going down without a fight this year.

Team Fluster
First year it was hot and on average most teams went through 2-3 motors and 8-9 sets of tires. Second year it was downright cold and returning teams had a better plan from the outset; 6-7 sets of tires and just 2 motors. You can just barely get by with 3 batteries......but they'll be shagged Sunday afternoon. The more batteries you can bring, the merrier they will be after the event is over.

No worries there buddy! I'm just sick of losing the fight with Lost Island, so now we're going ELECTRIC!
