See you guys next weekend,
Track forecast: Carpet will be grey with sections of higher grip yielding a darker appearance. Almost black! This is know as "the groove." Grip levels in the groove will be sufficient as to cause repeated encounters with the dreaded "roll of traction."

Getting closer!

There were about 15 17.5 cars there last week. More are expected to show Saturday. It's going to be fun!

Great race for a great guy. Come on out!

Getting ready for school to start is kicking my butt. Classroom is almost ready for kids Thursday. I hope I have enough juice left for Saturday. Brent and Will give me a call about carpooling.

Chris Cooper Race For A Cure Carpet On-Road August 9Th. At Thunder RC. in Nashville. I would like to invite everyone out to help a fellow racer and friend that has been fighting cancer for a year. I spoke to him last night and with it being at Thunder rc and them having a/c, I'm hoping he'll be able to attend as well.

Chris has been racing RC for about 20 years Oval, Onroad and Dirt so at some point in the south east you've probably raced with him.

Doors open at 9:00 a.m. racing start at 12:00p.m..

Race Fee's 1st class $20, 2nd $10, 3rd Free

Classes
U.S.VTA- U.S.VTA rules

U.S.GT- U.S.GT rules

TC 17.5 Blinky- Roar rules

1/12 13.5- Roar rules

100% of money raised will go to Chris to help him and family.

Thanks to Robert Dirla for letting us use his track and looking forward to having a fun race day.

Also trying to set up something for donations, for people that can not make it to the race.

Raffle tickets $5.00 a ticket paypal address is [email protected]

Will need your Name address and cell number, so I can send you a picture of ticket. Do not need to be at the track to win, I will ship to winner.

Also thanks to RC Hobbies Barry Hill for the OnPoint 1/12 scale to raise money.http://muddslidemotorsports.com/20onpo1kito.html

Haha you won't be the only one Keith. I'm just looking forward to some track time. I'll also be in the way with the TC 17.5 guys. Should be a great day either way. See y'all in the morning.
