I'm totally looking forward to building this thing. I thought I had some time but race is only 11 sleeps away. I got so many other things on the go. I might be racing with an unpainted body! Lol!

Oh yeah I ran into Clint at ERC yesterday and he was buying up a storm in there! He's got some tricks up his sleeve guys. Don't be fooled he's gonna school everyone!

Oh yeah...are gyro's legal this year?

SHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I'll help you find a spot to mount one. I might mount it upside down and backwards....but that shouldn't hurt it too badly.

Hey Des

The first race is on asphalt, do you have a location yet? Is it the same as F1 series.

Are we doing any track prep? Sweeping or sugaring? I vote no.

That is all.

Default 1st rally track location

I have 2 spots that I'm pretty stoked about for the first race. It is NOT at the F1/TC site. But it is close by on whytewold street still. I will let everyone know beginning of next week which spot I will be choosing.
Both spots are of a older lot. More unkept and fine gravel. there are dips and bumps thru out the lot.
To answer Brad's question, No we will NOT be prep'ing this time. NO sweeping and NO saucing.
Hint to the Noobs... Bring several different tire choices.

Default 1st rally location

One spot is at a school parking lot, but i'm not sure if the power is on or not... the other spot does not have power.
I'd say come prepared guys. don't bank on having any power other then your vehicle battery.

LOL, that will be funny!

All of us, nice and toasty in our cars....>Tassos sitting at a table and chair with the wind blowing his stuff around everywhere, and the traction compound freezing before it can do anything to the tires....
