You're a little early in asking about next year Dave. Winter has not even started.

If things keep going like they have been, there probably wont be any onroad classes. Might as well build some wooden jumps.

Next year it's a new TC6 for me and the asphault assualt!


Putting the schedule on first page as suggested:
May 7th
May 21st @ St Chas east high school / car show
June 4th
June 12th @ St Chas pride of the fox fest
July 9th
July 23rd
August 6th
August 20th and 21st @ Elburn days
Sept 10th
Sept 24th
Awards - October 1st

I'll probably end up with a TC6 as well. I already have 2 TC5's with a buttload of spares collecting dust. Its a good things the arms and hubs are the same.

Question for the regulars: What classes will you run in St. Charles? I've asked Santa for Tamiya mini and VTA parts

So, is anybody gonna run on-road cars this year? Last year was 80-90% short course trucks running the on-road track.

I'm down for a mini class.

That's wild that it was mostly off road running there last summer when there is an offroad track 25 minutes west (maple acres).

You can run my girlfriends car for the race tonight if you want to try it. She will only practice but she does not think she is good enough to race yet (she is correct about that).

I talked to Byron and they are planning at least two races off site at a festival in St. Charles and at a car show being held at one of the high schools. I know at least three guys that will have Traxxas Rally cars.
