Its hard to cook away from my house as I have all my rubs, bbq sauce, and all other grill stuff I need in one place. Will see.
you had me at possible

I completely understand tho. I love to have my rubs, sauces, spices, and herbs within arms reach cuz ya never know when ya might need something to kick it up.

We have special rates setup with Best Western on 702 Limekiln Rd, New Cumberland Pa 717-774-4440. Just tell them you are racing at Bumps and Jumps Hobby shop for the special rate. Also 2 or 3 other hotels at that same exit along with Mickey D's, Johns Diner, Bob Evans and Pizza hut all right their.

We will run our standard classes. We will run 3 rounds and will be having 2 car bumps ups for all mains. All Mains will be 10 cars/trucks. No stacked heats. Computer will setup all heat racing as we don't play favorites at Bumps and Jumps. We will reshuffle ever round.

Its $25.00 for the first class and $20.00 for each additional class.

17.5 buggy
Mod buggy
4wd Mod buggy
2wd Mod SC
4wd Mod SC
Spec/Novice SCT (17.5 is allowed and RTR kits)
Mod Stadium truck

Many racers been to Bumps and know how we run the races. We run 5 minute heats with about 1 minute between heats. Due to the large turnout expected we will strictly stay on that schedule so we can get everyone out at a reasonable time.

Any questions let me or Chris know and will get them answered.

Thanks
Brian
Can't wait!! Going to be a fun one fo' sho'

Race is being sponsored by Savox and Racers Edge. I will be running the Racers Edge Pro 2 for HRP at this race and their Pro 4 during the spring/summer season. Will be very challenging to take a RTR car and turn it into a race car capable of doing well but I have done it like this for 30 years taking things that are not all out racers and doing well so this is just something fun for me to do this year. Will see what I can do.

This will be interesting to see.

I think you'll be surprised what these Racers Edge cars can do. I've really had no complaints with them.

I think the Pro2 is a capable truck out of the box. I think one of the drawbacks have always been lack of aftermarket support for upgrades and such.

Wait, there's a spring/summer season?

Racers Edge does carry upgrade parts for their cars, so that's not a drawback. Racers Edge also carries some upgrade parts for other makes as well

If this is what I think it is, this is a system used to limit the amount of cars on the track during practice at the classic and challenge. It just a blue clothe hanger that u put on your antenna. Gotta wait in line to get one, but when you finally do, you can get some quality track time instead of mayhem.

It is a stripped down Team C buggy. Very basic. Plenty of hopups out from Racers Edge but not like the Loai or Associated.

I believe they always put in a fresh layout for the big races...it keeps a level playing field as everyone (locals and out of towners) have all day friday to learn the new layout.
