Tech Regular
To me this seems to give the BL motors a disadvantage. To make it fair lets run non-rebuildable brushed motors too. No com trueing, brush changes or magnet zapping.
Everyone knows that BL motors degrade quickly when they get hot and rotors loose strength....This gives a CLEAR advantage to Brushed now as you can zap the magnets them them to bring them back but not BL.

The following was posted at the begining of this thread.
Pits:
We will have a tent large enough for about 120 racers to pit comfortably inside. These spaces will be reserved for those racers who are traveling from outside our area. All racers who wish to reserve a spot in this area must contact the shop to make arrangements. (870-933-0479) The tent spaces will be reserved (for persons living outside our area) through June 6th. After June 6th any remaining spaces will be available on a first come first serve basis. For racers who live within our region or any racer preferring to pit outside, there will be plenty of space for canopies and trailers. I will have ample AC power for everyone. Compressed Air will be provided, as air compressors will not be permitted unless you are running a generator.
ALL PERSONS WHO PLAN TO PIT UNDER THE BIG TOP MUST RESERVE THEIR SPACE BEFORE PITTING! THE FEE IS $10 PER SPACE FOR THE WEEK.
This is a list of names that are registered for the event but have not secured a space. These people should call 870-933-0479 ASAP to take care of this. If you are pitting in a trailer or bringing your own canopy a call is not needed. If you are a Team Schumacher "Team Driver" your space may be covered already but a call to Adam or Shawn might be a good idea.

Hello there guys, this is Gary OBrien from OKc.,Ok.
I paid the late fee when I sent in my entry, so do I get my late fee back, since now it has been waved??
Called in and reserved my pit space under the tent and paid for my tires. I'll be there tuesday afternoon/evening. Hopefully I'll be somewhere close to the AE guys. Can't wait to race at your facility. Gary O.
