Jerry, they run regular TC classes as well. Which ones will be up to John.

Yes you did! That car was fun! Even got a win at Brownies with that car. I sold it to Sai Tam, who let Willy race it last year at the Maryland TCS! Our TC3's are long gone, but that mini is still kicking.

That's one of those classic RC stories, that speaks well of your driving ability.

Yes!!! We will be running 13.5 and 17.5 touring classes as well as the m-chassis class. I would like to run other classes as well. All I need is four people to enter in a class and I will run it. We are open to almost any classes except nitro. Sorry you gas guys! We just don't have the room for the nitro cars at this location. If you remember the days at the Hooters parking lot it is going to be the same as that. Their is more info at brownieshobbies.com and I will be posting from day to day.

Thanks for asking.

John

You will need to be able to charge from your car for power. We will set up the parking lot so you can pit at your car. You can bring a generator if you would like. Try to set up your cars so you can use plugs. This way you will be able to easily work on your car without a soldering iron. As far as carrying parts at the track I will bring things on request and maybe some essentials like tires and body clips. If you guys let me know of any other items you would want me to bring I would be happy to abide.
