A lot of work is going into making this your best possible experience at our Calgary WCICS race! Any questions feel free to PM me or post on this thread.

Yes! Can we get a sticky?

Can't wait! I've decided to run in every class Brandon is running to be a thorn in his side. Look out Brandon! ;)

Ayyyyyyyy

I've been waiting for the thread to be made.

it's done :)

You mean you're gonna run Mini? Like borrow Dennis' car or you bought one just for this race? I thought you Saskatoon boys were anti-Mini? :weird:

But still glad you're gonna race Mini!

Ivan

ps. For guys looking for more track time, you can run your mini (with a 21.5 motor though) AND your CTA (without changing a thing) in the 21.5 demo class. How cool is that!

Just curious, could a 4WD mini chassis (not M) be run in Scale Spec? And if so what tires and weight? TC ?
Thanks

My mini is ready. ;)

See you all in Calgary!

-Dennis

Subaru!

Right on!

Seems wrong to run a rwd body on a fwd chassis, but the body came with the car.

Hey guys. I hope everybody has a great race/finals in cow town. I cant make it this year. hoping to plan better next so I can attend more racing.

Nick K

:(oh that totally sucks Nick

I will totally miss you making fun of me.:weird:

See you all in 10 days 7 hours


TOTALLY

If anyone is looking for any used AMB personal transponders, I will be selling some At the Calgary Final. Will have 3 available $85 each or all 3 for $225. If you have any questions, please PM me do not reply here. ( this is also posted in the Buy/sell forum but wanted to give anyone going to Calgary 1st dibs)


Looking forward to seeing everyone next weekend, it's been 3 years since I last raced in Calgary, I havent even seen the sub floor..LOL

Korgae

Looks like chuck debelen is willing to be my mule if anyone needs parts from www.gripworksrc.com for the race.
The catch is you have to let me know by Friday night as Saturday will be the last time I see him before the Calgary race :)

Wow!
That Chuck de Belen guy is awesome!

The subfloor is awesome. You don't get to hear the cars lifting off at the start of the straight though. :(

I think it needs to return. It gave the local guys an advantage! Lol

Anyone needing parts or spec mini motors for the race give me a call at ATD Hobbies... Nick & Brandon will be taking anyone's orders with them for us... our website doesn't even come close to what we have in stock, so if your on the hunt for something call 250-486-3657 or email me at [email protected]...
Good luck everyone... wish we could make it but this household has come down with bad colds!

Next weekend we at PM Hobbycraft is giving 10% of everything in RC Cars for wcics racers next weekend. Just talk to Anthony, James or myself to get the discount. We are have lots of Xray, Associated parts in stock and we will have the new sxt 3.0 light in stock the middle of the week.

Hey guys!

Please save the race director from having to manually enter your transponders this weekend and update them on the WCICS website.

Go here and see if you have red dots beside your name under the classes you want to register for:

http://www.wcics.ca/registrations.php

If you see the red dots it means we don't have your transponders ... please login and add them. If you need help with this let me know.

Luke

Just letting you guys know that I wont be there this weekend and Im having troubles getting onto the wcics site to remove myself. So Im pre-registered but please take me off the list.

Nick Weinrauch - Mini, 12th stock, f1, cta

And to make things more complicated, Peter from Penticton will be driving my mini there this weekend ;)

Good luck guys and have a great race!

Wow what a fun weekend! Amazing job by Larry, well done, thanks Curtis for tech, the Carcar Exec, all of the wcics crew, and all the other volunteers behind the scenes! Also big thanks to the Carcar members who were not racing, but STILL came out to help with tear down. Many thanks!

Huge thanks to Matt, Cal, Larry, Curtis, and the entire race crew for hosting a great event! Also, special thanks to Jim for building us a great track even though he didn't get to enjoy it himself!

See ya'll next year,
Blake
