It is together. Unless there's a big turnout for both. I'm running nitro but bringing the Ebuggy just incase.

Great race for a great cause. Is the charity Lions club again?

Can we add a 1/10th buggy class?

The only distraction has always been the bikini mud volleyball next to the track

I'm dropping open and making it 1/10 buggy. I figure open and junior/sportsman would be the same.

That's cool. Guess I'll have to choose between 1/10th buggy and Stadium truck for open off road. Either will get it's butt kicked by 4WD

It's a lot of fun and great food at the event. It's a tremendous amount of work for the Hobbytown crew. It's great that they put it on.

I would make one suggestion, especially for the mains, that a land rush start is not used. It passed years it did very little good for the top be a top qualifier because they could be wiped out in the first turn by the ninth or tenth place car. I was not a top qualifier, but it happened more than once to the top guys.

There's new faces running the program so it will be different. But as far as the mains go, I'm not sure what you mean by a rush start? The first corner in the main is always the toughest.

Its been awhile since I was able to make it to this event, but I may get to go this year. Is it still a parking lot race with wooden ramps or do I need to pack the dirt tires?

Lets race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
