With the Christmas Classic coming up, I need a little info.
How many 1/8 scale nitro's will show up - a little informal roll call.
With today being the first time any nitro's have show up, I really thought it made little financial sense to run 4 and pump the heat out of the building.
I certainly don't want to do the same thing again for the classic, so if you guys can give me a little idea so I know weather to eliminate the class or keep it added to the lineup.
Thanks
Chris

Wow what a great day of racing. My Slash went from a pile to the best its been in the main. I did the best O could and finished 3rd. Brian and Mike just had a little more than me but I hung in and drove well so I'm very happy with my finish with a high rider chassis Slash.
What a turn out for the 17.5 Pro SCT class and the mod buggy class. Both classes make you work you a$$ off if you want to do well. If your not working on your stuff someone else is and ready to move up at your expense.
The turnout today was outstanding. 75 I think was the total. Great to see everyone coming out to race at Bumps.

Good job with that high rider slash against all those race trucks Brian !! Got my new chassis for my slash cutting and grinding on it now will try to have it ready for next weekend.. Real quick do i need to take out the mod motor and install a 17.5 for pro mod ? Not real sure what motor you guys are running ohh and how are those proline shocks with the dual spring thingy working ? I am still running the stock plastic shocks and not sure if i want to drop a 100 on shocks that might not be worth it .. What do you think about there performance ? Ohh and are you still running the suburbs on the slash and what inserts ?

Yo broke joke, how about you lay of the the keyboard racing and do some actual track racing. Build your lcg slash and get 2 racing. wyd doesnt have the lcg yet and he is competitive but then again, it is his home track so he should be. The racing was very close yesterday and it was a blast to drive was a great group of racers that kept the racing clean.

I still have to drive on fire to try to keep it close with you and Mike. Working on that problem as I type. See I keyboard race and actually race my sct as well.

perhaps setup two special 1/8 races in the new year leading up to motorama, otherwise electric only.

Cool place Chris and crew. I havent been to Bump and Jumps in about 5 years. Me and the guys who made the road trip had a great time. We are hooked and will be back as much as possible.
I really liked how fast you guys ran through the program and still gave us 3 heats with 75 racers! Track was fun and technical. I never got the hang of it but I hope to. Of course my bad driving is most of my problem, but I am now ordering the right tires and looking at set ups.
Hats off to the cooks. The food was great and priced right.
Even with a tight track the 1/8 scales got around just fine. There was plenty of room with all 9 on the track at once.
Thanks for the fun day guys!
