I wasn't able to make it out yesterday. Just curious, did Dan make any minor changes to the layout?

Was a last turn a double on the inside line & still a single on the out side line last time you were there?

I was out last week 06/06/09 and the last turn before the straight there was just a small single. Sounds like he did switch it up a little.

He also changed the small table top after the "s" turns in the back of the track. It is now a step up jump that you can jump over instead of landing on the table top. This sends you to the small double jump along the back left wall. He said he will be making some more little changes for next week as well. I have to give Dan credit as all of these changes definitely make it more exciting every week.

I agree. Even small changes help to keep it fresh.

He keeps adding new things all over the track and this is how Dan keeps the attendance up so well.

Hey Zac how did you do in Bakerstucky? We had fun this week at ARC! I want to say a huge Thanks to Dave E. from DE racing for coming out Friday and making the changes to the track with Dan and his friend. Racing was really exciting with the pro class LOADED! All the regular factory fast guys were there[except you Zac] but with the addition of Jimmy Wright and his new ultra dialed Tamiya, Gil "The Thrill" Losi jr., Kris Moore and Greg Hodap all coming out to challenge the ARC pros! I did get to watch some of the Sportsman mains and week after week these guys are getting faster and faster.

You mean AlaBakerbama? I did well. 3rd in both buggy/truggy. Track was weird. I thought it was going to be larger and it turned out to be more like the silver state track surface w/less silt. Barry Baker showed up and schooled all of us in electric. He also ran nitro truggy and was knocking on Cavaleri's back door for the first half of the main race in second place in front of some very fast guys.

There was some very fast driving by Don V. (thanks for not gassing it on my hoodie as I was turn-marshaling your car) Congratulations on 1st place!!! Also congrats to Carson for a controversial 2nd! And finally Tennison, one of his front tires came off during the main as he was battling with Carson! He is really driving that Mugen!

I can't wait to get back to ARC for some action. Too bad we missed a packed race weekend. RC is Alive and Well!!
See ya Chris!

Default electrics allowed at money race?

Not sure if anyone knows yet, but will the electrics be able to run with the nitro classes on the night of the money race in two weeks. Dan was considering it when I spoke to him and I would like to go. If he's going to have 15 min mains than I don't see why we shouldn't be able to join. Adding the electrics would also bring out the electric army......

When I spoke to Dan, he said we would be combined. We still have to come in for a pit just like nitros so there is no unfair advantage.

Thanks. What happened? I don't remember really. Did I mess up your hoodie?

I was turn-marshaling by the mogul section and from out of no where, your car landed right by my feet, in front of my blue hoodie. You where still on your wheels, but behind the pipe still. I thought for a split second that you would just gun it over the hoodie and jump back on to the track, but you waited for me to pick it up instead!

I think you were just so far ahead of second place and that gave you the patience to wait on me.

Thanks again!

Thanks Ten. Sorry to hear about all your bad luck. I broke in Truggy. Lost a rear lower shock end probably when the turn marshall was holding my truck dancing around trying not to get hit by all the cars because he standing in the racing line.

Where did you end up in buggy?
