Am I wrong, or do we have water hookup right over by the concrete barriers in the parking lot? That would mean we would only have to pay a water bill to the city and hook into it?

I think most members would gladly pay higher membership dues to have water available for the track, and powered pits.

Here's the group photo with all the trucks lined up...
And a shot of some of the guys (and girls) after the race...
LOL... why do you suppose Dean is holding a glass of water and looking at the flames on Jay's shirt???

lmao Gregg.
So T4 racers who ran on carpet last year... what kind of setup changes should I be looking at doing? I'm assuming the jumps will be smallish and a guy can lower his truck and run stiffer suspension. Any recomendations?
I'm in the middle of going over the T4. I am swapping to the F.T. graphite chassis and some in-line axles, as well as robbing the Airtronics servo from my Revo for steering. I see now that one of my cvd axles has a wobble
haha nothing a couple pairs of vice grips won't fix!

No wonder I was having problems controlling my T4 the second half of the day... on the rr shock the piston came loose due to a broken e-clip... all fixed now. I also was able to straighten the cvd

Another thing we might try next year is a "NOVICE" day. A day for drivers that have never raced before. 
Regular club racers could be "FLIPPERS" 
, tuners and general helpers for the novices. We could have door prizes ( an RTR Package, tires.) Maybe get the paper to promote the day for us? It could attract a lot of new members and racers as well as helpers too.
