Do you have an F1?

Probably a WGT, especially right now since it's still a green layout. I'd think WGT would have less chance of fuzzing.

That's definitely not SW there $355. Frontier?

Mario usually goes each year, I'm thinking about it, depends on funds.

You must like the man pile, I really like the guys at Horsham but the pitting situation sucked. I'd go to the Birds for Nats.

That was on frontier. I think it would be a really cool race to go to.

Brent, the pitting situation was horrible at Horsham, but the race was a lot of fun. And its a far cheaper trip than Orlando would be for me. I need to get one of those pit stations that break down that everyone has now (the metal ones)... or the Home Depot shelf that Sam/Joey used.

I'll be starting back at the track coming up here (may even come down tonight...), probably get a key for December again going forward. I am still on a very tight budget for RC, so for traveling events I need to pick on cost more than anything else. Just wish houses, appliances, and grown up responsibilities didn't have to impact hobbies this much

So add at least another $30 to that $289 price, and that is only if you take a single checked bag. If you take a carry-on, add another $40 to that price. So you are at what, $359? Just to have one carry-on and a single checked bag.

Frontier is fine if you are packing light or with multiple people who can split a checked bag. For a race, though? Good luck.

Art, any idea when the new "MHIC" event logo will be ready? (not pushing, just curious if it is a Dec/January thing, or something that is already done) I realize we are still far away.

Actually my wife and I have started to talk about the design for this year already. But I don't have much right now...just a couple of ideas.
