The weather looks promising for Saturday but not sure for tonight. Is it possible to set up Saturday morning? I can try and get there early on Saturday to help set up.

I won't be able to be there Friday evening to help setup, but can probably show up early and/or stay late to help on Saturday or Sunday.

Also, I don't have a generator, but I can bring a good sized battery that should give us a few hundred extra watt hours to work with.

Here's hoping the weather is agreeable.

Come on out . Really great group of guys and lots of fun .

If the weather dries up this afternoon I will be at the track by 6pm . If we are unable to start track set up tonight at least I would like to try and get the track cleaned for a nice start tomorrow. I really want to get on the track its been along time .

Is it full on racing or a practice day. Or is it based on attendance?

I would like to set up the timer system and run racing as well.
If there are not that many I would like to run some qualifiers and mains but between give people
some practise time to get used to the outdoor track .

Hey guys. Im new here - just moved from California. Haven't been in the onroad scene for a a few years.

Used to run a HB Cyclone... Was thinking I should just pick up a TCXX.

But before I do that, i wanted to ask what people are running out there? Also you guys can PM me with this information but what is the best hobby shop in the Vancouver area?

Nice to meet you! I'll be seeing you soon and most likely crashing and breaking parts. Lol.

Come on out .The group is very nice and easy going .
I think you will have a lot of fun . I think touring stock is going to be the most popular with vta and mod right behind . There are some of us running touring nitro as well. For hobby shops well the on line stores are starting to take its toll on the local shops . I would try Go-Go hobbies then rcpitstop next .There is a store called magic box thats actually in Vancouver . Xray Tamiya yokomo and serpent are the chassis at the moment .

Yep.

More people are coming from the sounds of it.

If you haven't seen the Facebook MSG, gogo hobbies brought in much more tires for those that need em and live closer than rcpitstop or one stop.

Setup tomorrow night!
