Fred, will there be practice open to all chassis brands this Saturday? Inquiring minds want to know. Thx!

FMW

If you have signed up for the event you would have received an email from me directly with the answer to that question

But yes...participants regardless of chassis brand will be allowed to practice this Saturday from 8:00-5:00. There is a $10.00 practice fee for participants that are using non-Tamiya vehicles.

See you there!
