1/8 is just fine at finishline. I ran there this Sunday and it was awesome. There are some good drivers there as well - come out next time, you'll enjoy yourself.

Turbo,

The next race at Finishline is on Mar 30 but it will NOT be at their normal location. Instead it's in the Albertson's parking lot at the corner of 377 & Bursy in Wataga. Check their web site at http://www.finishlineracetrack.com for details.

There is a SWCS race at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend (Mar 15 &16).

Finishline is suppose to race this Sunday, Jan 25th. If they do, things should start up between 10a to 12p, so get there as early as you can.

Do you guys have a schedule for Racing this spring?
There is a few of us from the KC area that are needing to
run some gas. Looking to possibly come down in the next month or so. Depending on your shedule.

How big is the track? I see that you run some 1/8th scale on it.
sound good sized them.

Thanks

2fast, Finishline has a website... www.finishlineracetrack.com. I think most of thier current schedule is actually on another RC on-line forum but you can navigate though finishline's homepage to find it.

You wouldn't by any chance be racing gas 235mm 2wd spec class would you? ... I think Im the only one still tooling around with those.

Turbo - Nope, but we have two guys that have those. That Class is just going away. We run in a HOA series. Heart of America. Two summers ago they always had a class, but no one ran it last year. Just 1/8th 4wd/2wd and Sedan class is what they run.

Sedan .12 is the class I will be running. I am geting some guys together to make a trip down. I got 3 that want to come now. See if I can get any more.

I will check out the site to see what I can come up with.

Thanks

2fast, The next race looks like it will be on Feb. 22. I don't have an exact link for you, but if you go to finishline's home page and then click on the link called Finishline Talk You will find the schedule and some odds 'n ends info in the RCFiles forum. Just be sure they don't end up canceling on you, I've had that happen before.
