so glad i run nitro

if you get a gel cell battery you can use it all day for a power supply. i have a 13amp that i'll sell ya for 10 bucks.

also, some guys use a small wet cell, like a riding mower battery. a little heavy, but they'll charge everything.

But why

The power supply you use is designed to transform 120V AC to 12V DC. They are not intended to operate @ 90 to 100 V. You can purchase a 5000MAH lipo 14.8V lipo and use it as your power supply. It will last you most of the day.

anybody

This is what I heard from FF employees at the track today.

Easter Sunday:
Track will be open for practice, likely no water or power.

Summer Schedule:
Next weekend will be the last daytime race. Then they'll be going to nights.

Power:
Installing reliable power to the pits. No more daisy chains.

Lights:
Light poles are up, will be finished soon.

Pls don't quote me on any of this. I don't work for Fear Farm, just what I heard from FF employees.

Happy Easter everyone!

Well I thought I copied the results to my thumb drive yesterday but I guess something went wrong. I might not have enough room on it. I'll try to Have Fear Farm pot them up for us.

Congratulations to Dave Burt for winning Buggy and Keith Barnes for the Truck win.

Ernerst Madrazo won Pro 2

Have a Happy Easter everyone!
